Responsive operator and excellent wildlife on our northern circuit with Topy Tours.
We just returned from a seven-day northern circuit safari with Topy Tours and was very impressed. We covered Tarangire, two full days in the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. Jackson was always responsive and helpful from the planning stage right through the trip.
Our guide Paul was excellent with 30 years of experience. He got us the big five, plus a cheetah, crocodiles, mongoose, and two leopards. We also saw a wide variety of birds. The game viewing was consistent and well-timed.
The accommodations were very good. Escarpment was a highlight, and we also stayed at Moyo tented camp. The food was consistently good and everything was comfortable. One practical tip: if you are traveling in the dry season, bring a dust mask. You will need it.
Topy Tours took care of everything from start to finish. The itinerary is busy with early starts and full days, so be prepared for that. Overall, a solid operator and a memorable trip.

An Amazing Experience (Guides Paul and Benson)
Paul and Benson were always on time and consulted with us what we wanted to do and when.
They would also suggest ideal things to do in order to fill any awkward time gaps.
And always communicative and friendly.
And the 6am sunrise tour at Oltuka gave us the lion view of dreams!!
5 incredible stars!!!

Also the booking and arranging prior to the trip went smoothly. Aisha helped us to make the most out of our trip. We gave a broad idea of what we wanted to do, and she made a wonderfull itinerary for us.

Wonderful guide for our honeymoon safari
My husband and I came to Tanzania for our honeymoon and had an amazing safari with Hassan from Gosheni Safaris. He is super experienced and knowledgeable. We saw everything we hoped for: a leopard, lions (including a pride eating their prey), and even a cheetah that climbed onto our car! We got incredible up-close photos of the lions from inside the car. A genuinely nice guy too. Highly recommend!

A full service minded team from contact to safari
We had a long stop (14 hours) in Nairobi for our next destination. We used that for a one day safari. First of all Maureen (our contact by email) was super responsive and gave clear answers and good proposals. Then we were lucky to have both a driver and a guide for the safari. They were very service minded and with good knowledge of the animals and the area.

Very accommodating
Having had to cancel our Safari (originally scheduled for March 2026), Beyond the Plains was incredibly accommodating in rescheduling the Safari - giving multiple options when rebooking.
The Safari itself is a true African adventure.
Our guide, Ken, was confident and articulate, answering multiple questions from the entire family. And in the evenings he joined us for dinner where we had more in-depth chats about all things Kenyan.
While Safari’s themselves are expensive, understanding the costs (park fees, hotels, extensive driving) the Safari was good value for money and most of all gave memories of a lifetime - especially for our 3 teenage children.
And so many incredible photos!
Thanks to all!

A Perfect 7-Day Trip to Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli
It was an absolutely fantastic trip. Jemimah, our travel agent contact, responded promptly from the very beginning of our planning and almost answered all my inquiries instantly. Before and during the trip, we made two itinerary changes: adding an extra day of safari in Masai Mara on short notice and combining the Naivasha and Nakuru visits into one day. She was responsive and flexible in adjusting the arrangements to tailor the whole trip exactly to my requirements. George, our driver-guide, was responsible throughout the journey and highly skilled at spotting wildlife. Thanks to his sharp observation and quick reactions, we were fortunate to witness the river crossing of zebras and wildebeest. He gave professional and enthusiastic commentary on animals along the way and drove very smoothly. This travel agency offers great value for money. I’m thoroughly satisfied with the overall experience.
