This tour was absolutely stunning! 1000/10 please take your time and read the review!
Our safari experience was absolutely unforgettable! Truly beyond anything we could have hoped for. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and we saw everything we came to see and more. Every game drive felt like a new adventure, and each day brought incredible moments we will remember forever.
What made this experience especially outstanding, however, was our guide, John Mwangi. We honestly cannot praise him enough. John went above and beyond in every possible way to make this safari special for us. His knowledge of the wildlife, nature, and the area was incredible, and his passion for what he does shines through in every moment. He always seemed to know exactly where to go and somehow managed to find amazing sightings time after time.
More than that, John genuinely cared about our experience. He was attentive, patient, and always doing everything in his power to make sure we were comfortable, excited, and having the best possible time. His enthusiasm was contagious!
We often joked during the trip: “John for president!” — and honestly, we meant it. His professionalism, kindness, and dedication set the standard for what a tour guide should be.
If you are lucky enough to have John Mwangi as your guide, you are guaranteed an extraordinary safari. We are incredibly grateful for this experience and would recommend this tour without hesitation to anyone looking for something truly special.

Very well prepared and they’re doing a great job.
Our safari tour was truly the most incredible experience I have ever had in my life. From the very first moment, everything was perfectly organized, and it exceeded all my expectations.
A huge thank you to our tour guide, John. He gave his absolute best every single day to make sure we had the time of our lives. Thanks to his dedication, knowledge, and passion, we were able to see so many amazing animals. He always knew exactly where to go and made sure we didn’t miss anything. It honestly felt like a dream come true.
What made the experience even more special was how much John shared with us about the local culture. He explained everything in such an interesting and engaging way. Whenever we had questions, he always gave us clear, detailed, and thoughtful answers. You could truly feel how much he loves what he does.
This safari was not just a trip — it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will never forget. If you are thinking about booking a safari, I highly recommend it — and if possible, ask for John. He will make sure it becomes the best experience of your life too!
Simply AMAZING!!
Steve and Richard’s safari experience far beyond what I could have ever imagined! We saw the big 5 on every one of our game drives and Mike, our driver, was absolutely incredible. Steve was great with communication from the very beginning and did everything he could to make sure our trip was smooth and going well! I could not recommend Steve and Richard safaris more! I hope to come back to Kenya soon to do another safari with them!

Well-organized trip. Excellent support in case of illness. Efficient approach and good driver-guides
Tanzania – Zanzibar travel feb 2026. Organised by “Tui Belgium” and local Organisation "Paradise & Wilderness".
Feedback
Unfortunately, I had the misfortune of falling ill on the second day of my Tanzania safaris. I must thank the local organization "Paradise & Wilderness," represented by Veronica, for their excellent care during my illness. They asked a doctor to evaluate my condition. A stay in unscheduled hotels was arranged for three days to recover. Individual transportation to those hotels and back to the group tour was also arranged. A change to my itinerary was arranged to allow for a second safari day in Southern Serengeti, in an additional hotel with individual transportation. This replaced a scheduled day in Zanzibar. Efficient and quickly organized, but with an additional fee.
I also greatly appreciate the driver-guides on our trip: Bonnie, the driver of the group who led us through the Ngorongoro National Park, and Kelvin Felisian for the individual transportation through Southern Serengeti/Ndutu. Thanks to his expertise, I was able to see and photograph a great deal of wildlife during that part of the safari, which made my trip a pleasant experience, despite the days I missed due to illness. My stay in Zanzibar with the group was also very pleasant at the Dream of Zanzibar hotel. See my feedback on the website.
I also want to give a special mention to driver Haji Juma Abdulla, who drove me to the Jozani Forest.

Stunning, was in tears leaving
Simple headline is Morning Star was brilliant and the trio was magical. But that doesn’t do it or them justice.
This was magical. A spur of the moment trip we booked in new year for that February. We went through a few dates with them and time spans before we found the date a month that worked. They were so helpful throughout and constantly on what’s app when we had questions.
The trip had 4 locations, I was sceptical of it, but they have honed down what works and how to pack the days so you see and do so much. From elephants right up to the Jeep in Amboseli, to the walking safari where you can possibly touch a wild ostrich, to black and white rhinos in Ukuri, and finishing in the Masi to see the big cats. Morning Star crafted it perfectly.
They also are flexible to your needs, times and dates and really good value. We looked at UK companies but it would have been fixed dates that didn’t quite work, shared transports and shared safaris. What WE got was a cheaper trip with a fully custom itinerary, private safaris and our own driver for the entire trip.
That bit is key as you build up a repor with them and they can craft where they go to what you want. Augustine was brilliant, and he was very friendly with most other drivers, which is a GOOD thing. It means they stop and share tips on what they’ve seen and where they are so you can see what you want!!
Because of that, we found a cheetah right up next to the road, and had 45 minutes of bliss watching it. He found out about a pack of 5 male lions, and we were right up close. Finally, he got that elusive leopard, hiding under the tree eating its dinner. All because he knows so many of the guides and they share tips.
We loved it and can’t wait to be back.

A reliable, warm, and professional team that goes the extra mile to make your safari experience safe
My experience with Beyond Travel was truly wonderful. I booked their three-day package to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary and Murchison Falls, starting my journey from Kampala. From the very first day, everything was well organized and smooth.
My guide, Kato David, was extremely friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. On the second day, while I was enjoying the Nile River boat ride, a baboon cheekily took our lunch! The team was very kind and immediately arranged an extra meal for me, which I sincerely appreciated. That same day, I was incredibly fortunate to spot a leopard, a moment I will never forget. Special thanks to David for waiting patiently at one spot for about 45 minutes to make that sighting possible. The wait was absolutely worth it.
The accommodation was comfortable, and as a solo traveler, I felt safe, supported, and well taken care of throughout the trip. On the last day, I also booked their car service from Kampala to Kigali, and Ben ensured a safe and smooth journey. I am grateful for his professionalism and care.
If I may kindly share one small suggestion for future improvement: David took some lovely photos of me during the safari, which I truly appreciated. I did, however, feel a little hesitant when I was asked to share my individual photos for branding or marketing purposes, and when a selfie of us was later used as a profile picture without prior discussion. I completely understand that this likely came from a place of friendliness and enthusiasm. As a traveler, it would simply feel more reassuring if personal photos were shared or used after clear mutual consent.
Overall, I had a fantastic three-day safari experience. Thank you to Beyond Travel for making this journey so memorable and special.

An incredible experience, made even better by wonderful assistance and very coordinated plans.
The entire trip, from the moment I left to the moment I returned was incredible. Pick up from airport was smooth, transfer to a wonderful hotel, and the then the transfer to the flight Massai Mara could not have been easier. I stayed at Surani Eagle View and it was perfection. Loved every bit of it, and many thanks to Stacey for working so diligently with me to make it the perfect trip. Will do it again soon, and will use Samson’s for all of my travels in the region. Thank you to everyone who took part in making this a once in a lifetime adventure. 5 stars!!!
