Amazing experience with Beyond the Plains
I had a great experience with Beyond the Plains and Nicole as our tour guide. We requested specifically for a female guide as it was just me and my mom traveling, and we prefered a woman as guide, and Beyond the Plains was able to accomodate this no issue whatsoever.
The whole trip was punctual and well arranged. All the accomodations were luxurious and nice. If we had any questions, support was given almost immideately.
I will recommend Beyond the Plains with my colleagues and anyone who is looking into a safari in Kenya.
Tips for future travelers:
The itenerary is customisable, so if I would book again, I would book in a bit more rest as the safaris do get full on - maybe a rest morning or evening in between full days of game drives. And I'd request for shorter car trips - we had one day of 8 hours of travel between parks which in hindsight was a bit much.
I would also bring shillings instead of dollars, which will be much more widely accepted and useful for tips.

Excellent tour operator! Winnie was amazing from organizing my safari, to checking in on me!
Winnie customized my safari taking into consideration my needs and wants. I also let her l know what my budget was, so she could plan accordingly. The itinerary worked out great! I also let her know that I was a bit picky with my accommodation, so she gave me a choice of places for me to pick.

I will recomend 100%.
We had an incredible safari experience in Kenya thanks to our guide, Collins. From the very first day, it was clear that he is not only extremely knowledgeable about wildlife, but also genuinely passionate about what he does.
Collins was always attentive, kind, and very professional with the whole group. He knew how to manage the group perfectly, making sure everyone felt comfortable and involved at all times. His knowledge of animals and the parks was impressive, and he was always happy to explain things in a clear and interesting way.
He has an amazing eye for spotting wildlife and always seemed to know exactly where to go and when. Thanks to him, every game drive felt exciting and meaningful. Beyond his skills as a guide, he is also a very pleasant and approachable person, which made the entire experience even better.
Without a doubt, if I ever return to Kenya, I would want Collins to be my guide again. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable safari experience.

So professional and caring, everything was planned to the smallest details.
That was an amazing and so unique experience!!
we had the honour to make our dream come true! All the crew members were so nice to us and made us feel so comfortable.
Before we started the trip I didn’t know what to expect, but the guiders and the company made it unforgettable❤️
Thanks to the guiders we reached the top of the mountain and they believed in us.
If I could have done it again I wouldn’t change a thing! And I wish I will have another chance to visit Tanzania again!!

Taufique was an amazing guide!
Frank and Taufique from Golden Rwanda Safaris made my bucket list item of gorilla trekking an amazing experience! They were communicative, friendly, and organized from the very beginning. Next time I'm back in Rwanda, I'll be reaching back out.

Chloe was absolutely amazing!
Chloe was very attentive and easy to work with. She was readily available and always was prompt in her responses. As we had no idea where to go, we put the trip entirely in Chloe's hands - and she delivered the trip of a lifetime! From our first safari to the last - everything was above our expectations.

It’s not just seeing wildlife—it’s feeling the earth breathe and remembering where life began
We had a wonderful safari experience in Tanzania. The company was professional and well organized, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The wildlife experience was exceptional, with close sightings of lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and a variety of antelope in their natural habitat. We were very happy with the service and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.

A flawlessly organized safari experience with exceptional personal service from start to finish
My experience with Porcupine Expeditions was absolutely fantastic. From the very beginning, everything was organized perfectly and ran exactly on time. I truly felt like a VIP throughout the entire trip.
A special thank you to Anna and Julia, who were incredibly welcoming and helpful. They responded to all my queries quickly and with great precision, which made the planning process completely stress-free.
The 4-day safari was the highlight of the trip. We were lucky enough to see the Big 5 along with loads of other animals, which was simply amazing. The accommodation was excellent, and the food was delicious every day. I highly recommend Porcupine Expeditions to anyone looking for a seamless and memorable safari adventure.

Excellent
Deogratius at Kafu Safaris replied to my message promptly regarding a 3 day safari tour to Murchison Falls NP, which I booked while in Uganda at short notice. He explained everything I needed to know and always replied quickly to any queries I had. I felt confident about my booking.
Our driver and guide Ivan was friendly and attentive from when he picked us up from our accommodation in Entebbe to dropping us at our accommodation in Fort Portal 3 days later. Ivan is a very knowledgeable and experienced guide and a lovely person. He did everything he could to make sure we had a good safari experience and because of his experience as a guide, we were lucky enough to see a female lion and a leopard, both of which were relaxing and close up, so we were able to watch them for a while. We also saw plenty of giraffes, elephants, buffalo and a variety of antelopes. The accommodation that Kafu Safaris use (Nkundwa Nile View Lodge) is excellent and a very good choice. The tour was very good value and Kafu Safaris go above and beyond to give the best service they can. Thank you Kafu Safaris and especially Ivan, for a wonderful tour.
