Experienced and thoughtful tour operator
My experience with Elite Horizons has been fantastic from start to finish. The guide Isaiah provided the best possible experience for us. I couldn’t be happier. The value for money was excellent! The guide was punctual, knowledgeable and very accommodating. When asked in the future about recommending a tour operator I would always direct travellers to book with Elite Horizons. In the future I would like to book with them again to explore the north of Kenya. Thank you for giving me wonderful memories that will last a lifetime.

Isaiah is a Phenomenal Guide!
We had a 100/10 experience with Isaiah leading the way, making sure every detail was handled!
He took us to Amboseli and Tsvao and pointed out many things along the way. Between the numerous wildlife sightings (lions, elephants, puma, wildebeests, zebras… the list is endless). We appreciated his efforts to explain about each animal and answer every question we had.
We will be booking again someday, as we would love to do the Mara next time, with him as our guide again!
Thank you for your excellent service!

Knowledgeable and friendly
A wonderful two‑day safari with The Real Shangololo in Amboseli National Park. We were exceptionally well taken care of throughout the trip. Our guide, Willy, drove safely along the very busy Mombasa Road and impressed us with his deep knowledge of the region, the wildlife, and the park’s ecosystem.
We stayed in a comfortable cabin where meals were served promptly and were absolutely delicious. Willy made sure we reached the perfect viewpoint to see Mount Kilimanjaro at sunrise, a breathtaking moment we’ll never forget.
During the game drives, we enjoyed close encounters with elephants, zebras, wildebeest, gazelles, and antelopes — truly spectacular sightings. This safari was memorable in every way and an experience we will cherish for a lifetime.

Wonderful & Reliable Safari Trip with Professional Service
Our safari with Pavillion Safaris was absolutely amazing. Our guide Benson was incredibly responsible, attentive and passionate about wildlife. With his rich experience and skilled animal tracking, we spotted a huge variety of wild animals smoothly, including the Big Five.
The whole trip arrangement was reliable and smooth. The only slight drawback was the accommodation condition of some tents and lodges. Overall, we had an unforgettable journey and would recommend this tour operator wholeheartedly.
Amazing experience
The tour was very well organized and everything went smoothly, since the pickup in Nairobi to the safaris and the camp. The company was very responsive and attentive at the time of the booking and our driver/guide Kish is an awesome person. Very knowledgeable, knows the culture, the animals and the park. There’s was no question he couldn’t answer. Very immersive experience!

Professional, reliable and unforgettable from start to finish.
We had an unforgettable safari with Beyond the Plains. Everything was very well organized from start to finish.
The itinerary was excellent, the national parks were breathtaking, and the lodges exceeded our expectations. Every place we stayed was comfortable, beautiful, and perfectly located.
Our guide was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and always did his best to give us the best wildlife sightings possible. We saw an incredible variety of animals and learned so much about Kenya and its wildlife.
Communication before and during the trip was excellent, and the team was always available whenever we needed assistance, which gave us great peace of mind.
This safari has been one of the best travel experiences our family has ever had. We highly recommend Beyond the Plains to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.
Thank you for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime!

Excellent customer service, prompt communication, attention to detail, well organised, knowledgeable
We used Jangwa safaris to assist in a 20 day Zambia to Botswana and Namibia tour. With transfers arranged from Zambia to Botswana, and self drive Windhoek to Windhoek via Fish River Canyon, Swakopmund, Etosha and many places in between!, this was an unforgettable experience for the 4 of us (two couples).
From the initial fact finding via online enquiry, emails, and WhatsApp, David and Johann provided answers to questions promptly, were able to tailor the trip to meet our needs, and provided professional information and recommendations regarding accommodation and vehicle options to meet our budget, travel itineraries and when trying to decide what we could comfortably achieve in the timeframe we had.
Having arranged travel bookings independently many times, this was a bit of a leap of faith for us to use and pay a company we were previously unaware of, in a country we had not previously travelled to, and were unsure of the legitimacy of. We should not have been concerned, everything was handled and managed very professionally, with the travel arrangements, transfers, rental vehicle, accommodations, and excursions exceeding expectations throughout.
We had one flight cancellation (externally arranged), but David and Johann were quick to accommodate our late changes and amendments , which made the experience reasonably stress free.
One of the selling points for us was the included excursions, and these were well worth having prearranged.
I cannot rate the team at Jangwa highly enough, we were appreciative of being able to meet David in person while in Namibia, and we hope we have the opportunity to use their services again in the future.
Botswana - we could only fit in a couple of nights at Chobe, but it was well worth it. Plenty of wildlife, the options of boat and land safaris gave different perspectives and the people, accommodation and meals were excellent!
Namibia - Outstanding! So glad we made the trip, some distance to cover, but the people, scenery, wildlife and many interesting accommodations on the way have us definitely hoping we can come back again in the future.

Songwe is an excellent guide who can show you the wildlife in an incredible way
We travelled through Kenya for 6 days. Songwe is an exceptionally capable guide, we found all of the big 5 species within 3 days! He was able to help us with all upcoming issues. The tour vehicle was very reliable, with cozy seats and great views through the roof.

Great safari! We saw all of the Big 5 and lots of other animals even very close by
We booked this incredible 6-day-Safari with Apodiformes Adventures and we couldn’t have been happier with our guide Songe. We went to the Amboseli National park, to Lake Nakuru and finally to Massi Mara. He made sure we saw all of the big five animals (lion, elephant, rhinoceros, buffalo and leopard) within only 3 days. He went above and beyond to assure that we could see as many lions as possible (41 lions in total!). Because we forgot our digital camera, we needed to get really close to the animals to take photos and Songe managed to get us as close as 2m to the animals and sometimes the big cats went by directly next to the car. Even when most guides didn’t drive up close to the big cats Songe talked to the rangers and got us directly in front of them. He listened to our requests about the animals we wanted to see, stopped at the right spots so we could take beautiful photos and even went off road to ensure we would get the perfect photos. He always was in contact to the other guides and assured us to be at the right spots at the right time to see the rare animals like leopards and rhinos. When there were many jeeps near one animals he made sure we could get to the front and as close to the animal as possible. Songe is a very friendly guide who told us a lot about the animals and the national parks. The jeep is sturdy and the seats are comfortable. Overall we are very glad he was our guide and can’t recommend him enough
