Professional and reliable
Our 8-day safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli was an amazing experience. We saw incredible wildlife and beautiful scenery at every destination.
A special thank you to our driver and tour guides, Johny Jackson and Solomon. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best wildlife sightings. Their professionalism and passion made our safari truly unforgettable.
We highly recommend this safari to anyone visiting Kenya!

Perfect photo safari and flawless service. An unforgettable experience!
We have just finished an amazing 11-day safari through Kenya's main parks with Beyond the Plains Safaris. Having a private jeep just for our family made a huge difference. As a photographer, it gave me the flexibility to take incredible, breathtaking photos at my own pace. The hotels chosen for us were superb—each one more beautiful than the last and of the highest standard.The highlight of our trip was definitely our guide, John . He is an incredible professional who knows every inch of thousands of kilometers of parks. Thanks to his expertise, we saw every single kind of animal, including rare moments like active hunting and mating dances. Beyond his technical skills, he took care of me and especially my 12 and 15-year-old children like a dear friend.The agency's customer service is top-notch. We had a minor issue at Lake Naivasha (a stop I personally wouldn't recommend), but the way the company handled it was outstanding. Today, on our last day, the owner himself surprised us with a wonderful gift to make up for it.I absolutely recommend Beyond the Plains Safaris to anyone looking for a high-end, smooth, and unforgettable trip. Thank you for everything, we hope to come back soon!

Responsive and high quality
We had an amazing experience, with everything perfectly organized and taken care of by Kiliclimb. Before the trip, Janet was very responsive by email and answered all of our questions thoroughly. When we arrived in Arusha, she came to meet us at our hotel.
We then left Arusha with our driver, Weldon, for an unforgettable 5-day safari. He took great care of us throughout the trip and shared a wealth of knowledge about the wildlife and the different national parks. The accommodations were of excellent quality, and the food was plentiful and delicious.
We highly recommend Kiliclimb to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience!
Professional and smooth
I went with 3 friends, we’re all from the UK 🇬🇧 and loved every moment of this excursion. It was well organised from start to finish. Our driver Maro was lovely and provided us with bottled water inside the vehicle 🚐 All the lodges we stayed at had pretty views ⛰️ and tasty food 🍽️ Hospitality and comfort of the room at the second accomodation was particularly impressive 🛌 We were in close contact with 4 of the big 5 animals but didn’t get to see a rhino, as they’re rare 🦏

Very knowledgeable, super nice and very helpful!
Our driver Johny Jackson would make every effort to accommodate our requests and make sure we saw all animals. He has an eagle eye so we are very lucky and have seen all animals people could possibly see!

Humble, kind, knowledgable.
Where to begin? My daughter and I embarked on a safari to celebrate my 60th and her 18th birthday, it could not have been a better experience thanks to our wonderful guide, Geofrey. He was a complete expert on the various national parks we visited as well as on the abundance of wildlife within them thanks to growing up in the Serengeti himself. We both learned more than we could even contain in our heads from Geofrey and were able to see the “Big 5” thanks to his concentrated effort to spot even the smallest animals (such as banded mongooses) and his lifelong knowledge on animal behaviour.
As well as Geofrey’s impressive expertise on the wildlife, he made our entire 5 day safari experience even more unforgettable due to his kindness and humour, managing to make even the scariest animal sightings (like those of hippos, my daughters most-feared animal) a lighthearted experience.
All in all we were genuinely heartbroken to have to say goodbye to Geofrey after learning so much about each other during our 5 full-on days of bonding, hugs were exchanged as we said our farewells. I cannot recommend the Lion King Safari experience more, the only complaint from my daughter and I is that it had to end! The vehicles are comfortable and the lunches are filling and tasty, and even better, if you’re lucky you’ll get a guide as amazing as Geofrey!

Well organized and caring
We got the full package for five days and couldn’t have asked for more. The very knowledgable tour guide Barton told us numerous interesting background stories and managed to find every species you can think of. Richard and his team served great food around the clock. It was a remarkable experience to us.

PERFECTION
i brought my little sister to tanzania for her first international trip, and we went with Suricata based on previous reviews. we did a 5 day mid-range tour, and even though they had to change our itinerary slightly, everything ran VERY smoothly. all of the hotels are great too! our favorite was the bush camp in Serengeti (glamping).
Anton was our guide through Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and he did a phenomenal job!! he has a very calm and kind demeanor, and he would squeeze the jeep in wherever he could to make sure we were able to get the BEST angles of all the animals. we got to see every animal facing us. he was extremely engaging and would give us information on all of the animals, and he also kept checking in on how we were doing and how we felt. he never moved the car until everyone was done taking photos and videos, and he was just very pleasant throughout the trip. he made it his mission to make sure we were comfortable throughout the trip with timed bathroom stops as well.
for Tarangire and Lake Manyara, we had Amos! he was also such a joy to be with. if you didnt ask questions, he would be sure to ask YOU and get your gears turning. he was very engaging and fun to ride with.
i highly recommend Suricata and make sure you get the open jeep for Lake Manyara and Tarangire. the other safari groups have the closed jeeps (we also did for serengeti and ngorongoro due to dust), but the open jeeps allowed us to feel much more connected with the nature around us!

the best i’ve ever had
I have to really thanks Emili and Mkali cause the make this safari the best ever for me and my girlfriend.
They were incredibly kind, helpful, and communicative throughout the three days of the safari. You don't have to worry about luggage and transportation because they take care of everything and do it super reliably.
We were lucky enough to see all the animals in the park, especially thanks to their expertise. If you need to book with Uwanda tour operator, ask for them because they are the best.
