Kenya safari game drives done right and big thumbs up to Beyond the plains safaris!
We travelled to Kenya as a family with our 13-year-old son for our first of a lifetime experience of an African safari. We chose Beyond the plains safaris as your travel partner. The pre-travel correspondence was all via email and whatsapp. Our travel agent Maurine was super friendly and quick to respond. They curated an itinerary for us based on our choice of sites we wished to visit on our 8 day trip. These included Amboseli, lake Naivasha, lake Nakuru and Masai Mara, with one last day at Nairobi.
The company provided us with a nice 4x4 land cruiser for our entire trip and our driver cum guide Harun was very pleasant and accomodative. We noticed he always followed the rules and respected the park as well as the animals.
Are lodges/camps were also great choices and we enjoyed our stays.
We highly recommend Beyond the plains safaris for anyone looking to make a trip to Kenya as they ensure we are well experienced, their prices are reasonable and they ensure you have a good time.

An unforgettable experience from start to finish
Our safari through the Masai Mara and Amboseli was executed flawlessly. All the transfers between destinations, camps, and park gates were seamless, punctual, and remarkably well organized, making the entire journey smooth and stress-free. Every planned activity was well-paced and exceeded our expectations.
We were incredibly lucky on our game drives, getting front-row views of the big cats in action—including lions, a stunning leopard, and cheetahs. A huge credit goes to our two guides, who were not only exceptionally knowledgeable and sharp-eyed spotters, but also genuinely kind, warm, and attentive to every detail throughout the trip.
I couldn't recommend this tour more highly to anyone looking to experience the best of Kenya’s wildlife.

Professional and Intuitive
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Sunway Safaris on the Rainbow Route, and a huge part of what made the trip so special was our amazing guides, Fundi and Marcus.
From the very beginning, both of them were incredibly friendly, professional, knowledgeable and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves.
One of the things we really appreciated was the teamwork involved in preparing our meals. We would help Fundi and Marcus prepare lunch together, and they also cooked dinner for us on certain evenings. It really added to the experience and gave the whole group a wonderful feeling of being part of a team rather than simply being passengers on a tour.
They were always attentive to the group, kept everything organised and created a great atmosphere throughout the trip. Their personalities, humour and dedication made the long days, drives and activities even more enjoyable.
A massive thank you to Fundi and Marcus for making our journey so memorable. They are a real credit to Sunway Safaris, and we would happily travel with them again.
Highly recommended! 🇿🇦❤️

Perfect from start to finish
We have just finished our once in a lifetime 4 day African Safari trip to the magnificent Kruger National Park. It’s a huge decision when spending the amount of money on such a trip that you get the right travel company to deal with. We finally decided on Nhlalala after our questions were answered and we felt comfortable that they were the right fit for us and we were so glad we made this decision. We dealt with Norman who put our minds at ease, paid our deposit and waited patiently for our trip.
We were paired with a fabulous driver/guide Khongi, what a genuinely lovely man who we connected with immediately. He really cares and ensures you have a fabulous time and go home with amazing memories.
We spent 3 nights at the Kruger Gate Hotel in a luxury room and couldn’t fault this place from the minute we arrived till we left, amazing food, lovely staff, beautiful clean rooms, comfortable beds and great showers after long days on Safari.
Khongi ensured our timings were perfect with safaris booked which were amazing (we seen the big 5 after our second drive) and all went smoothly. He also took us on a day trip of the Panorama Route which was filled with stunning scenery and great stops. I have a knee injury and he was very caring and ensured our route was accessible for me.
I also left my reading glasses in the back of Khongi’s car after our trip and he is so kind to have them posted to me back to my home address in Australia, once again showing kindness and care for his customers.
Norman also came and personally introduced himself to us at our farewell from the hotel which was lovely.
We also had Khongi take us on a full day tour in Johannesburg the day prior to our tour which was also fabulous! We learnt and seen so many places of interest in and around the city.
We now have wonderful lifelong memories of our fabulous African Safari and are so thankful we chose the right company to make our dreams come true. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Konghi, Norman and Nhlalala travel and we highly recommend this company to others looking for a fabulous service and memories.

An unforgettable safari – all Big Five spotted!
We had a wonderful safari with Jungleroam Safaris! Our guide, Jimmy, was excellent and took great care of us throughout the trip. He was always attentive and made us feel comfortable and well looked after.
We even managed to see all the Big Five, which made the experience even more special! The accommodation was also very good, with comfortable places to relax after each day on safari.
An unforgettable experience. We would definitely recommend Jungleroam Safaris, and a special thank you to Jimmy for making our trip so memorable!

Outstanding safari — Herman and Josh made it unforgettable
We booked with Hadzabe Safari Adventures and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Herman organized everything down to the last detail, and what stood out most was how much he listened. Every idea or wish we brought up was taken seriously, and he stayed flexible throughout, adjusting the itinerary until we were completely happy with it.
A special shoutout goes to our driver and guide, Josh. We can't thank him enough for making this trip so special. He was happy to shift departure times and accommodate spontaneous changes to the plan, and he made sure we didn't miss a single game viewing opportunity — all while respecting park rules and keeping a responsible distance from the animals. His patience and knowledge made every drive something to look forward to.
If you're considering a safari in Tanzania, we highly recommend Hadzabe Safari Adventures. Thank you Herman and Josh for an experience we'll remember for a long time.

An unforgettable day in Mikumi – simply amazing!
Our one-day private safari in Mikumi National Park was an absolutely unforgettable experience and definitely the highlights of our holiday on Zanzibar!
We saw lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, gazelles, impalas, hippos, crocodiles and many more animals – some of them incredibly close. Seeing these beautiful animals in the wild was simply breathtaking. The attached pictures of the safari speak for themselves.
A huge thank you to our fantastic guide Jonathan! He is an excellent driver, knows Mikumi extremely well and always seemed to know where to find the animals. On top of that, he shared so much interesting information about the wildlife with us. We couldn’t have wished for a better guide!
The whole organisation by Telly African Safaris was excellent too. From the booking process to the information before our trip and the support throughout, everything was professional and perfectly organised. Special thanks to Catherine Mchau for taking such good care of us.
5 stars for the safari, 5 stars for the organisation and a very clear recommendation from us!
Thank you Jonathan and Catherine for this wonderful experience. We will remember this day for a very long time!

Amazing
Our experience with Wild Uganda was absolutely incredible! The wildlife sightings were simply out of this world. We saw so many amazing animals in the wild and had experiences that we will never forget.
A huge part of what made the trip so special was Andrew, our guide. He was honestly the best guide I have ever had! His knowledge, experience, and incredible ability to spot animals made every game drive an unforgettable experience. On top of that, he was extremely friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what he does.
If you want to experience Uganda at its best, I can highly recommend Wild Uganda. And if you’re lucky enough to have Andrew as your guide, you’re in for something truly special. I would absolutely travel with them again! 🦍

Professional cost effective well planned operator
Hi had a wonderful experience with Africa Tours adventures.
They offer a brilliant price point and great itinerary.
I felt very safe as a solo female driver, and enjoyed the company of my wonderful guide Levan. I visited both Uganda and Rwanda, and the hotels selected for the mid range option was fantastic! As a vegan Levan always made sure I had something to eat.
The mode of transport is a Land Cruiser, so perfect to get around across the many nationals parks and with great views.
African adventure tours were even flexible enough to amend my itinerary mid journey, to align to my preferences.
I highly recommend this company. Great value and service!!

The Best Safari
Although we chose Rwanda for the gorilla trek, our visit to Akagera turned out to a highlight of our visit. We had previously visited Kruger National Park in S. Africa but our guide Isaac gave us an experience we will never forget. We saw wart hogs up close (I never knew they knelt on their front legs to graze), an elephant at 5m, and even awakened some rhinos sleeping on the road at 6:00 AM. Isaac spotted a lioness early one morning at a great distance and our patience was rewarded as she led a group of 3 more lionesses and 3 lions right by our vehicle. Magnificent animals. All in all a fantastic experience and I can’t recommend Isaac at Wild Sage as a guide- informative personable and a good sense of humour. Great accommodations also.
5 stars!
