Beyond the Plains Kenya Safaris

Based in Kenya

Signature of comfort safaris

As the CEO of Beyond the Plains Kenya Safaris, my approach to women’s travel is deeply rooted in empowerment, safety, and creating life-changing experiences. I believe travel offers women a unique opportunity to step away from their everyday roles and responsibilities, immerse themselves in new environments, and connect not only with other cultures but with themselves and like-minded travelers. At Beyond the Plains, we are dedicated to ensuring that our safaris provide a safe, enriching, and transformative experience for women, one that fosters personal growth and empowerment.

Women’s travel is of great importance to our business because it aligns with the growing trend of women seeking travel experiences that offer both adventure and personal fulfillment. Safaris offer a rare opportunity for women to step out of their comfort zones, embrace adventure, and gain a deeper sense of confidence. By offering tailored safari experiences, we provide women with a space to not only explore the wild beauty of Kenya but also to discover new strengths within themselves. This is at the heart of a larger movement in which women are increasingly taking the lead in travel for self-discovery and growth.

Moreover, travel fosters deep connections, and for many women, these connections are one of the most rewarding aspects of their journeys. Our group tours offer women the chance to meet fellow adventurers, share experiences, and create lasting bonds. These connections often go beyond the safari itself, leading to enduring friendships and a shared sense of community, which is a powerful form of empowerment in its own right.

Safety is another key element of our philosophy. We understand that women, particularly solo travelers, prioritize safety when choosing travel experiences. At Beyond the Plains, we ensure that every aspect of our safaris—from accommodation and transportation to our expert guides—is designed with women’s safety in mind. We aim to create a welcoming, inclusive environment where women can explore confidently and freely, knowing they are in good hands.

Supporting women’s travel also allows us to uplift local communities. We actively collaborate with women-led businesses and cooperatives, ensuring that our operations benefit Kenyan women directly. By working with female artisans, guides, and entrepreneurs, we contribute to the economic empowerment of women in rural communities, helping to create lasting change in the regions we visit.

Finally, women who travel inspire others. By focusing on women’s travel, Beyond the Plains helps to inspire future generations of female explorers and leaders. Our safaris serve as a reminder that women can be adventurers, decision-makers, and change agents, not only in their personal lives but on the global stage.

Championing women’s travel is more than just a business strategy for us—it’s a commitment to making a positive impact. By offering incredible wildlife experiences while empowering women both locally and globally, we are proud to be part of a broader movement that promotes female empowerment through the transformative power of travel.

Dorah Joan,

Owner

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.
