Excellent Tour operator
Just came back from 11 days (04 to 15 Feb 26) Kenya Safari with Beyond the Plains. What an unforgettable experience. From the initial enquiry till we were dropped off at the airport on return, they provided excellent service, cannot fault anything. Honest, trustworthy, flexible and reliable operator. For enquiries and bookings, Andrew was instrumental in helping with the whole thing and was available almost 24/7. He would try and accommodate all your needs and requests; nothing was too much to ask. Very good accommodation and services. To top it all off we had John as our guide. Safe and sound, John was exceptional, especially on the game drives, where he would get us in the best position to see animals. Would highly recommend Beyond the Plains (and John)

I think that was a good operator
I liked the experience but my only disapointment was not seeing any leopard.

An amazing 5 night safari
An incredible experience with Stanley and our driver Mike. They looked after us (a group of 5 girls) brilliantly and booked everything for us. Great value for money when we were staying in fancy hotels (salt lick and ngutini lodge). Couldn’t recommend it enough and would love to do it all over again. Definitely recommend to everyone!

I had an amazing experience in Tanzania with LOBO safari. Samuel was outstanding tour guide.
Lobo have very reasonable packages that I believe almost every traveler can afford. I highly recommend this company to anyone who truly wants to experience Tanzania safari. Well organized company

Full Service at a Reasonable Price
We just returned from a 6 night / 7 day private safari with Blue Lilac Tours, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations from start to finish.
Everything ran incredibly smoothly. From the very first email, Edna was responsive, professional, and so easy to work with. She answered all of our questions promptly and thoughtfully, and she helped us craft an itinerary that fit exactly what we were hoping for. The planning process felt collaborative and stress-free.
Once on safari, we were in the very capable hands of our guide and driver, Boniface. He was knowledgeable, warm, and truly exceptional at spotting wildlife. We honestly don’t know how he saw half of what he did! He went the extra mile — literally — to help us track down the Big Five, and his determination and expertise made all the difference. Because we were on a private safari, he was also incredibly flexible and happy to adjust plans based on our interests and requests, which made the experience feel personal and unhurried.
We also felt that the value was outstanding. Before booking, I received a quote from a “luxury” safari company that was nearly twice the price — and interestingly, it included two of the same four lodges that were on our Blue Lilac itinerary. That really put things into perspective. We felt we received an exceptional, high-quality experience without paying an inflated premium simply for a label.
This trip was unforgettable, and so much of that is thanks to the team at Blue Lilac Tours. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a well-organized, customized, and truly special safari experience.

Thanks to the incredible guide Peter, this tour company turned our Kenyan safari dream into an unfor
Choosing Africa Celebrity Tours and Travels for our Kenyan safari was the best decision we made, all thanks to our outstanding guide Peter! Over 5 incredible days in Masai Mara and Amboseli, Peter’s sharp eye and encyclopedic knowledge of wildlife made every game drive thrilling—we saw leopards in trees, giraffes at dawn, and even a cheetah hunt!
He was always attentive to our needs, adjusting the itinerary to fit our interests and making sure we felt safe and comfortable at all times. The company’s communication was prompt, the transport was reliable, and the entire experience was worth every penny.
As shown in the photos: Peter guiding us to a sighting in Lake Nakuru, the stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro he took us to see, and a close-up of a zebra foal . Peter’s passion for Kenya is contagious, and we will absolutely book with Africa Celebrity Tours and Travels again—ask for Peter, and you’ll have the safari of a lifetime!

Trip of a Lifetime
Our Masai Mara safari with Hadven Tours was truly the trip of a lifetime, and George is hands down the best guide you could ask for. He is professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and extremely well connected. Because of him, we were up close to every animal we hoped to see—and more.
George knows the land, the wildlife, and the timing like no one else. He anticipated movements, positioned us perfectly, and made the entire experience seamless and unforgettable. If you’re considering a safari in the Masai Mara, don’t hesitate—Hadven Tours and George are the gold standard.

Flexible guide, Incredible experience, 10/10 recommend!
My family and I spent 8 days with Emile (founder and owner of Lion Safaris) traveling through Kigali, Nyungwe, Volcanoes, and Akagera. I have lived in Rwanda for 5 months, and spent a lot of time finding the best company - and Lion safaris ended up coming up to the number one spot.
First, Emile: He was incredible. Very knowledgeable, personable, funny, and quite honestly the best guide I've encountered (having been on trips in many other countries as well). We always felt safe and informed with him, and his experience as a guide in Akagera and having been in the business for 17 years really paid off.
Second, the trip: Our trip was amazing. Emile booked the best hotels for us, and the process was seamless. The parks are amazing, the experiences are once-in-a-lifetime, and I was really impressed with Rwanda as a whole. While I've lived here for several months, this was my first time traveling extensively outside of Kigali and I cannot express how incredible this place is.
If you are on the fence about booking this tour, reach out to Emile. It was worth every penny.
