An amazing and unforgettable holiday
We had an absolutely amazing holiday organised by Beyond the plains safaris. I would definately recommend them.
The organisation of the trip was perfect from dealing with our enquiries before we went to a smooth trip when there. Our guide for the main part of the trip, Dan, was excellent. Very friendly and helpful and a big part of what made the holiday so special.
Our holiday was made up of 2 days in Nairobi before heading out across the Massai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Ambroselli and Salt Lick on safari and finally catching a train to the cost for a few days relaxing.
On safari we saw so many animals it really surpassed our expectations seeing so much and being so close. I think going to the different parks really allowed us to see such varied environments.
I have nothing negative to say about the company or our experiences with them but advice for other travellers would be to be prepared for lots of early mornings and driving between the parks. Also the food whilst fine and as expected did get a little repetitive and if you are a fussy eater may struggle. But again both these things we had expected and so didn't impact in our overall enjoyment. If we had our time again the only thing I would do different would be to have a second night at Salt Lick Lodges just to take time to enjoy such a unique setting. It would also have been nice to see more of Nairobi as it looked such a fascinating city but given the traffic we didn't see much on our city tour.
The beach stay at Pappilion Lagoon Reef hotel was also great. It was a lovely relaxed atmosphere and the perfect way to end the holiday.

Great pleasure of seeking wild animals with Sir Charles
We have spent 6 wonderfull days with Sir Charles, our safari guide, during our journey to Kenia. We have visited Masai Mara, Amboseli and Hell’s Gate. All the Safari trips were very interesting, all places differ and all delivered us great experience. Our guide, Sir Charles, was very engaged in seeking for animals, he knew exactly where the animals were supposed to be and during our safaris he was sharing with us a lot of interesting informations about animals that we have met. He was very kind and had great ideas for lunch place, car stopping for the best views on animals passing by and he was also very cheerful and always ready to answer to our questions. We spent really valuable time together.

An Incredible Safari Experience
### An Incredible Safari Experience
Our safari experience in Tanzania was absolutely incredible and truly worth every moment. This company offers a unique experience based on genuine respect for the environment and the animals, which made the whole journey even more special.
Innocent organized everything with great understanding, kindness, and patience. He was always available to answer our questions and help us with any concerns or problems, making us feel very well looked after throughout the trip.
But without a doubt, one of the biggest highlights was our guide, **Dula**. He was incredibly knowledgeable, intelligent, and attentive, with an amazing understanding of the environment and the animals. His sense of direction was incredible, and he seemed to anticipate where the animals would be before we even got there. He always knew how to choose the best possible spot to give us an unforgettable experience.
Nothing seemed to escape his attention. He was extremely observant and made sure we never missed anything, while also giving us plenty of time to enjoy the moment and take photos without ever rushing us. He never saved his energy and was constantly focused on making the experience as special as possible for us.
His professionalism, patience, enthusiasm, and genuine passion for his work were exceptional. He took care of everything — our safety, the timing, the food, the quality of what we saw, and the explanations about the animals and their environment.
Thanks to Dula, we didn't just see the wildlife — we truly experienced it and learned so much along the way.
We would absolutely recommend this company to anyone looking for an authentic, responsible, and unforgettable safari in Tanzania. An amazing experience with an exceptional guide that we will never forget!🐘🦁🌿

3 days was an extraordinary Masai Mara journey.
My wife and I recently spent three days on a luxury safari in the Masai Mara, and honestly it was the best wildlife adventure experience. The trip was beautifully planned by Namnyak Tours and Safaris, and when we reached Masai Mara, we were truly amazed by the view of the plains and the abundance of numerous species of animals. Our guide was fantastic and his knowledge of the Masai Mara very well and animals adds depth to the whole adventure. If you've been thinking about going on a Masai Mara safari, do it. It's an amazing experience that we'll remember for the rest of our lives.

wonderful safari experience
We had an absolutely wonderful safari experience with Loren African Safaris and would highly recommend them!
From the very beginning, everything was well organised and we felt safe and well taken care of throughout the entire safari. A very special thank you goes to our guide, Macy, who made these four days truly unforgettable.
Macy is an incredibly knowledgeable and experienced guide. He knew so much about the animals, nature and the different national parks, and was always happy to explain what we were seeing and answer all our questions. He also seemed to know exactly where to go to give us the best chance of seeing the wildlife. Thanks to him, we had some amazing encounters and were even able to see the Big Five!
What we appreciated just as much was the way he treated our family. He was patient, kind and especially wonderful with our children. He always made sure everyone was comfortable, involved and enjoying the experience. We never felt rushed and always felt completely safe with him, both during the game drives and while travelling between the parks.
The whole safari was very well organised, from the accommodations and meals to the game drives and transportation. We could simply relax and enjoy the experience because everything was taken care of for us.
Our safari through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Tanzania and an experience our family will never forget.
Thank you Loren African Safaris, and especially Macy, for taking such good care of us and for giving our family so many beautiful memories. We would absolutely recommend you to anyone looking for a personal, safe and unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania! ❤️

We were extremely well looked after.
Everything was exceptionally easy from the booking right through to airport drop off at the end. Our guide was very welcoming, on time and ensured as we travelled through to our trek he provided as much detail as he could about the places we were travelling through. The places we stayed at were also very comfortable and the meals provided very nice.
