Beyond the Plains Kenya Safaris was founded in 2021 with a vision to create unforgettable, personalized safari experiences that connect travelers to the incredible wildlife and rich cultures of East Africa. With my partner, John Dante, a seasoned safari guide with years of experience, we combined our passion for adventure and deep knowledge of the region to build a company beyond traditional safaris. Our aim has always been to provide travelers with authentic, transformative journeys through the heart of Kenya and Tanzania, while promoting sustainable and community-driven tourism.
What makes Beyond the Plains stand
Our commitment is to offering bespoke, intimate safari experiences. Unlike one-size-fits-all tours, we pride ourselves on crafting customized itineraries allowing guests to explore the wilderness at their own pace. Whether it’s witnessing the incredible Great Migration, tracking the Big Five, or uncovering the hidden gems of Kenya and Tanzania, we design each safari to suit our clients’ unique interests and preferences. We also believe that an authentic safari is about more than just wildlife—it’s about truly connecting with the land and its people. That’s why we incorporate cultural experiences into our safaris, offering travelers the chance to engage with local communities, learn from indigenous cultures, and gain a deeper understanding of East Africa. Our guests don’t just see the wildlife; they experience the traditions and daily lives of the Maasai and other communities, enriching their journey in ways that go beyond the typical safari.
Our safaris span some of the most iconic destinations in Kenya and Tanzania.
In Kenya, we take our guests to renowned national parks like the Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Tsavo, and Samburu, where they can witness the spectacle of the Great Migration or marvel at the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro. In Tanzania, we explore legendary locations such as the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire, providing a perfect blend of classic savannah landscapes and remote wilderness experiences. What truly sets us apart, however, is our personalized service. At Beyond the Plains, no two safaris are the same. We tailor every itinerary to fit our clients’ desires, whether they are looking for a family adventure, a romantic honeymoon, a solo escape, or a photography-focused trip. With John Dante leading our team of expert guides, our travelers benefit from unmatched local knowledge, ensuring they have a richer, more immersive experience. Our guides’ passion for the land, wildlife, and cultures adds a unique depth to every journey.
We are also proud to offer women-focused safaris.
Designed to create a safe and empowering environment for female travelers. These safaris allow women to connect with each other while exploring the beauty of Kenya and Tanzania, and they emphasize personal growth through travel and adventure.
Sustainability is at the core of our philosophy.
We are deeply committed to eco-conscious travel, ensuring that our safaris minimize environmental impact while supporting local conservation initiatives and communities. Additionally, we offer both luxury and mid-range options, allowing travelers to experience the magic of East Africa in exclusive lodges, eco-friendly camps, or luxurious tents that combine comfort with an authentic safari feel. At Beyond the Plains Kenya Safaris, our mission is to ensure that every traveler leaves with unforgettable memories and a lasting connection to the land, its people, and its wildlife. We are passionate about showcasing the beauty and diversity of Kenya and Tanzania, and we strive to create experiences that resonate on a personal level, making every journey genuinely exceptional.
