Well organised, excellent flexible execution
To safe time the safari was booked as a fly in and drive back to meet my specific requirements and interests. I had to change the itinerary completely last minute due to flight issues and Samson's Safaris team was excellent in providing a tailored solution promptly without compromising on quality or breadth of the original itinerary.
My assigned driver Sam was funny and a great road companion throughout while making every effort to maximise return on my time and he managed to find the big cats I was eager to see.
Big thank you to Sam and Stacey for a great trip.

Such an amazing operator
My husband and I traveled to Uganda for our anniversary and chose Abunda Discoveries Uganda for a safari in Queen Elizabeth National Park. Our guide, Renatus, made the experience even better with his knowledge of wildlife and local culture. We saw elephants, buffaloes, hippos, and an incredible variety of birds. The Kazinga Channel boat cruise was one of our favorite activities. The tour was well organized, and we always felt safe and taken care of. We left Uganda with amazing memories and would definitely book with them again.

Well informed
As someone who enjoys independent travel, I was looking for a company that could provide a flexible and authentic experience. Abunda Discoveries Uganda exceeded my expectations. Edgar was an excellent guide,friendly, punctual, and always willing to answer questions. We visited Murchison Falls National Park, where I saw giraffes, elephants, and countless other animals. The falls themselves were spectacular. The trip felt personal rather than rushed, and I appreciated the attention to detail throughout the journey. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Uganda.

From the moment we first contacted Beyond the Plains, we knew we were in good hands. Andrew was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, always quick to respond and happy to answer our questions. Booking a safari can feel overwhelming, but he made everything easy and stress-free.
Our safari itself was simply unforgettable. Moses was an exceptional guide—warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about wildlife. Every game drive felt like a new adventure, and thanks to his expertise, we enjoyed some truly incredible sightings. His enthusiasm and dedication added so much to the experience.
What impressed us most was how personal everything felt. We never felt like just another booking; the team genuinely cared that we had the best possible trip. The attention to detail, seamless organisation, and excellent communication throughout were outstanding.
We returned home with amazing photographs, wonderful memories, and a real appreciation for the people who made this journey so special. Thank you, Andrew, Moses, and the entire Beyond the Plains team for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime. We would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone planning their dream safari.

Wonderful Serengeti safari
We have just completed a wonderful fly-in, fly-out Serengeti safari with Shayona.
They were excellent from the very start. Helping to tailor-make the safari to meet our requirements (thanks, Ajay & Ritesh for all your great advice) including organising a great balloon trip for us. Thanks also to Karim, our driver in Arusha.
Our guide during the safari was Rievo and he made sure that we had an unforgettable experience, getting so close to the amazing animals and ensuring that everything ran smoothly.
We would definitely recommend Shayona

Very professional and competent
Everything was organized down to the smallest detail. We were looked after from start to finish. The guides were all very knowledgeable and friendly, and the taxis were all punctual and reliable. We only had a small issue with the last taxi, but by contacting the agency on WhatsApp, they immediately resolved the issue and arranged for another taxi in no time. I highly recommend them; I will definitely use Kihindo in the future.

Great operator, very experienced guides, focussed on what is important.
We did the Lemosho-Route in June and everything was excecuted perfectly. We had a very experienced guides (Fraterni) who had decades of experience with Kilimanjaro. The crew was very sweet, helpful and strong. In my opinion it is way better to book with KiliHike than with the big operators. We were only three tourists in the group, it made us more flexible, we could hike at our own speed. We felt like it wasn’t about the money or about putting up a show, it was about having a pure experience, no unnecessary luxury that doesn’t get you anywhere and about getting us to the ultimate goal of summiting to Uhuru peak. A lot of people of the big groups don’t achieve that goal. All of us did reach the top of Africa.
Thanks again to Kilihike! I would always recommend!

Professional
The safari was excellently organized. The tour operator was, as always, reliable and well organized. Our guide, Rono, was outstanding, always professional, very friendly, and an exceptionally skilled and safe driver. He had a great eye for finding wildlife and was always patient, giving us plenty of time to enjoy special sightings and take photos.
I thoroughly enjoyed the safari experience. The accommodations were also very nice, although the safari itself was the highlight for me. Thank you for this wonderful experience. I highly recommend this tour and especially guide Rono.
