Attentive, professional, reliable
We have our first family safari with small kids organized with Jacmiya Safaris. Jael was organizing our trip and was very responsive and patient with all my queries. Safari went fabulous and kids and parents got wonderful experience. Our safari guide - Nickson - is a pro ! We enjoyed his company. Plus there were no safety concerns whatsoever. Will recommend.

great experience with African Big Cats Safaris
An absolutely unforgettable first safari experience with African Big Cats Safaris! We were initially nervous about our fully customized luxury itinerary (which included a 1 AM JRO airport pickup and transfer to the Arusha Serena Lodge, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Olduvai Gorge, and both central and northern Serengeti), but the team delivered flawlessly from day one.
Our guide, Khalid, was phenomenal. His deep tracking knowledge helped us spot the entire Big 5 in just one day, including the rare black rhino! As a photography enthusiast, I deeply appreciated how Khalid always anticipated the best lighting and perfectly positioned the vehicle for my shots. If you are looking for a highly tailored, seamless luxury safari, I cannot recommend them enough!

This was an absolutely perfect and unforgettable trip.
This safari company provided excellent service and was very accommodating. Our driver Enock was fantastic—he had eagle eyes and helped us find the Big Five plus many other animals, and his driving skills were excellent too! Best of all, the trip could be customized; we stayed in great hotels and ate well throughout, and it was great value for money.

Review of Sarafika Tours
Reviewed today
From start to finish this was by far my greatest life experience ever. I give 100% of my credit to Jasmine and her exerienced staff!
Jasmine, had a very to the point and a no pressure approach which gained my trust. There are so many Tour Company's to choose from. I had spoken to about 8 companies and narrowed it down to two. I went with Sarafika because of the importance of giving back to the Tanzania Community.
I shared my interests of what I was looking for regarding the trip and before long the Itinerary was created I was very impressed by the itinerary matching my interests with in my timelinesl of travel. That is where i feel Jasmine's local relationships and experience played a huge roll. It was challenging because we were in about a 2-3 week window of my travel dates. Once agreed upon, payment was made and the trip was set.
Very professionally corridinated and the communications throughout the process was spectacular. Never felt alone and wondering.
Upon landing in Kilimanjaro Airport and completed the immigration and visa process, I was greeted by a man holding a plaquard with my name on it. The individuals throughout the trip were amazing. I was feeling guilty at some points because they did everything for me. All of the transportation throughout the entire trip (Private car, Bus, Air planes) were logically on point.
The Resorts including in the Bush were second to none! Everyone of them were professional, clean, safe and most of all provided excellent food services. Again, I attribute Jasmine's experience and knowledge of Tanzania for accomplishing all the amazing accommodations in the short notice.
First day of the trip was to Mt. Kilimanjaro to learn the history of the mountain and experience the hike not to the top of course. My tour guide was Moses who was awesome. He met me the night before at the h e Key Hotel in Mushi to review the hike. His knowledge and experience with Mt. Kilimanjaro was exceptional. After the Mountain Excursion he and I headed to Arusha to my start of the Safari potion of my trip. Excellent, Resort outside of Arusha. Very beautiful and excellent food.
The next morning, my personal Tour Guide Gabe was there to great me. He was an excellent guide who has two decades of experience in the Safari Tour Industry. I was a little overwhelmed with the vast landscape of the Serengeti. Gabe was able to teach me so much about the animals and their patterns throughout different terrains. It allowed me to narrow and focus on locating the specific animals we were looking at. The landscape and the animals blend spectacularly. Again, Gabe and his experience made a huge success in the safari excursions. I was fortunate to have him as my guide because I left Africa knowing some much than when I arrived. Thats a huge accomplishment achieved.
After the Safari Experiences for 4 days I headed to Zanzibar Island for another amazing experience. I was fortunate to stay at the Z2 Resort in Nungwi Northern tip of Zanzibar Island. Again, the resort was amazing with access to the white sands beach and unbelievable shades of Aqua to deep shades of blue waters of the Indian Ocean. The accommodations were out of this world 3 excellent restaurants with the Z and the Z2 Resorts, which you have full access to both facilities. That was a perfectly planned ending to4 this unbelievable experience with relaxation on the beaches of Africa.
I was there 10 days 9 nights.
In closing, I plan to head back again and definitely will be using Sarafika again.
I highly recommend Sarafika Tours!

An Unforgettable Maasai Mara Experience
From the very beginning, everything with Beyond the Plains felt seamless. I was especially grateful for how responsive, thoughtful, and accommodating Maurine was throughout the planning process, particularly given how last-minute my arrangements were. I always felt well looked after, and that level of care made a meaningful difference.
The safari itself was truly unforgettable. I feel incredibly fortunate to have witnessed so much in such a short amount of time, and the experience exceeded what I had imagined for my time in the Maasai Mara. I saw an incredible variety of wildlife, including lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, a leopard, hyenas, hippos, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, and so much more. One of the most memorable moments was witnessing a cheetah hunt from start to finish — an experience I will never forget.
Nicholas was exceptional. He was attentive, patient, knowledgeable, and very intentional about understanding what I hoped to experience. He made the safari feel personal rather than simply programmed, and his care, flexibility, and enthusiasm played a huge part in making the trip so memorable. He also had a genuine passion for the Mara and its wildlife, which made the experience even more special.
My stay at Lalashe Mara Camp was another highlight. The villa was spacious, private, beautifully designed, and immersed in the surrounding landscape. Being able to see and hear wildlife directly from the property made the entire stay feel incredibly special.
I’m genuinely so grateful that I chose Beyond the Plains. Maurine, Nicholas, and the entire team contributed so much to making this chapter of my trip unforgettable. I would absolutely recommend Beyond the Plains to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

Incredible Experience
We booked with King Mufasa for a 8!day safari. Davis was extremely helpful
In understanding all the options. He was prompt in responding to the many queries we had.
Lidnev was an incredible guide. He would spend time to explain animal behavior to us and always made sure we had a good spot to sight wildlife. We managed to see all the ‘Big 5’ thanks to his knowledge of the safari parks.
The Land Cruiser was always clean the next morning with a cold bottle of water ready in front of us.
Definitely a great experience.
