Attention to details
We booked our trip with Ester and Duncan was our driver/ guide. The itinerary was planned very well. The lodge(s) were inside the park and made it easier for early morning game drives. Duncan was extremely helpful and made certain we got to see the big 5 animals. We encountered an elephant in heat on two different occasions and Duncan made sure we were safe. Ester was able to assist with securing a vehicle for city trip of Nairobi as well.

Constantly amazed by the amount of wildlife around!
We had an excellent trip! 5 days in Nairobi followed by a 4 day 3 night safari. We toured during the short rainy season/ end of high season and the resorts were amazing! There were hardly any guests at the resorts and our tour operator upgraded our Lake Nakura hotel due to the fact that prices had come down. We saw every animal except a wildebeest including all the cats! Highly recommend the hot air balloon flight over the Masai Mara and try not to schedule it the same day you leave for the airport. Getting up at 4 AM then a 7 hour drive to catch your flight home makes for an extremely long day. All in all a great vacation.

Such an amazing country, the wildlife is unbelievable
We did a week safari followed by 6 days in Zanzibar and both were sensational. Firstly, our safari was with Serengeti Smile who looked after my family of four brilliantly, and we saw all the big 5 and more. The whole experience was amazing. Then Zanzibar … we did a couple of nights in Stone Town and 4 nights in a villa on the beach. Such a relaxing way to finish. Can’t recommend Tanzania enough.

Unforgettable trip of a lifetime
Beyond the Plains helped me organise our Masai Mara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro safaris and I highly recommend Dorah and the team. Dorah was a pleasure to deal with and quick to respond, tailoring our trip to what we wanted to do. Everything ran smoothly and seamlessly and exactly to our wishes. Our 2 drivers/guides, Charles in Kenya and Joseph in Tanzania were amazing. We had the trip of a lifetime thanks to Beyond the plains.

Amazing Experience!
I had a great time hiking in the Usambara Mountains with Tanzania Horizon Safaris. They were able to accommodate me with super short notice and come up with a great itinerary. My guide was awesome, he was super knowledgable and a fun person to talk to!

Unforgettable 10-Day Kenya Safari: A Perfect Blend of Adventure and Serenity...
Our 10-day journey with Arzoni Africa Safaris was nothing short of magical. From the moment we landed, Josephine ensured all communication was seamless, and Jonathan, our guide, welcomed us warmly at the airport.
Our first stop at Masai Mara National Reserve introduced us to breathtaking landscapes and abundant wildlife. We witnessed the iconic "Big Five" up close, and watching the wildebeest migration was a moment we will never forget. Jonathan’s knowledge about the animals and their behaviors added so much depth to the experience.
Lake Nakuru was a vibrant paradise, where thousands of flamingos painted the shores pink. We also spotted rhinos, giraffes, and even elusive leopards. At Lake Naivasha, a serene boat ride brought us face-to-face with hippos and diverse birdlife, making for incredible photographs.
Amboseli National Park provided the grand finale. The majestic sight of elephants with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background was like a dream come true. Jonathan’s patience and professionalism ensured that every part of the trip was smooth, from comfortable lodges to delicious meals.
This safari offered the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Arzoni Africa Safaris exceeded all our expectations, and we cannot wait to travel with them again...

Kikitu is the best.
We had an unforgettable Safari thanks to Kikitu. We did a 5 day Safari covering the Maasai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and Hell’s Gate - the price was right and the length was wonderful. Kikitu is respectful to the animals and has an incredible wealth of knowledge. We saw everything that we possibly could - including the big 5!. Kikitu is well organized and willing to help out. Thank you for this incredible experience. :)

Good experience
We had a wonderful experience in our safari! Traveling with two small kids can be challenging, but the process was seamless, and everything was well-organized. The fly-in safari made it so much easier and stress-free for our family.
The operator was incredibly friendly and accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed. A highlight of our trip was having a local guide in the park—David was absolutely amazing! His knowledge, patience, and enthusiasm made the safari unforgettable for us and the kids.
The hotel was fine—it wasn’t luxurious, but it met our needs and provided a comfortable base for our adventures.
Overall, we had a fantastic time and would recommend this booking service, especially for families!
While the trip was well-organized, and we appreciated having a day-to-day itinerary, some aspects felt incomplete at a detailed level. For instance, the hotel rooms we were given were not as expected, flight details were insufficiently communicated, and the lunch promised on the last day was never provided.
I didn’t have mobile data available (wifi only in the hotel), and thankfully my husband did, for example as we needed it to clarify which flight we were booked on—a detail we only found out by contacting the agency. Although the travel agency was quick to respond to our messages, I believe customers should be better informed proactively, rather than having to chase for information themselves.
We booked this trip on short notice and didn’t have high expectations for the safari, but clearer communication would have made the experience smoother.

WONDERFUL SAFARI
All perfect and reflecting the planning.
Guides always there to explain the wildlife and try to find the best spots to catch animals.
Big five done and many others.
Camps confort was sufficient, food basic but not there for that.
All perfect, I recommend at 100%.
