South America
By: Stars
Reviewed on: 08 Feb 2020
It is not South Africa but South America. The guides were efficient and friendly. The connecting flight from Buenos Aires to Lima was cancelled and on the next day was delayed for 3 hours on the tarmac. This then meant that we did not get to see Lima and reached very late the following day. We had 3 hours before we had to be at the airport again to catch our flight to Cusco. The agent who came to pick us up was superb. She got us to rest for two hours and organised our breakfast to go and got our bag tags ready do we can have an extra hour to rest as we had a horrible experience travelling on Argentina Arrolineas. In times of trouble they handled very well the situation. Very happy to recommend them to others.

And Beyond is RIGHT

There couldn't be a better name for this company. Ever experience we had on our Kenya Safari honeymoon was above... and beyond. From our tented camp experience at Kishwa Tembo, to the service we received at the camp, to the game drives themselves... the only word i can think of is MAGICAL. Yes, being in the Masai Mara would have been great in any situation, but it wouldn't have been magical like it was with andBeyond. they knew how to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
And to that point... we had assumed that our safari was a bucket list thing... we were wrong. We'll be doing it for the rest of our lives. And we won't be safari-ing with anyone else. Thank you andBeyond!!

andBeyond were our ground operator arranged via Ariana Wong Travel. We found there organisation and personnel to be pleasant and efficient. The Co. has a large network and is the owner of various Safari Lodges. We found andBeyond to be efficient across the varied areas of its operation and the countries in which it provide services. Our trip was enjoyable and credit must also go to andBeyond. We would have no problem recommending the Co. to other travelers.

Great trip! The days were filling, and the experience was incredible. The tour group leader in each city and overall were absolutely fantastic, very knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with. I've been on trips with other tour groups, specifically, Tauck and Abercrombie and Kent, And beyond was far superior.

safari

Terrific A 10 out of a ten. The Tengile River Lodge was a gem I would return again should we do another safari trip. Pack light which we learned after the fact. The accommodations were 5 star as was the food. The air trip is easy and direct and the lodge, staff and transport take over once you land. The One and Only hotel in Cape town was a rare find. Near great food and great shopping. You need 3 days in Cape town before a safari and 1 day after especially if you are cruising.

we were extremely satisfied with our guide. He was prompt, knowledgeable, caring, listened to our likes, dislikes, helped without being intrusive. I would recommend that he be allowed to teach other guides how to be a top notch guide. All our guides on this trip were good, but andBeyond’s guide was exceptional!

The representatives and the management for this company were amazing! Somehow, they were always there at our every turn. They knew our plans better than we did and were “spot on” for all pick-ups, transportation and anything else we needed.
We had forgotten a package at the Hemingway in Nairobi, and Daniel, our guide there was kind enough to retrieve it for us and deliver to us when we returned 10 days later. He, and all the others, were always prompt and responsible, as well as being friendly. They were just great!

Bucket trip to Africa
By: Patti
Reviewed on: 06 Dec 2025
andBeyond has traveling on vacation in Africa down to a science, I was solo and never felt that I was not safe getting from one location to another, There was always someone to meet me at airports and get me to my next airplane or hotel. Their lodges are superb and their staff is even better. My guide in Rwanda was a woman named Rugero who wanted me to make it to Dian Fossey’s grave site that she came with me. And there was Calvin Williams who wanted me to have good snokeling experience so much that he took me out on his day off as he was getting ready to fly home to South Africa. I would recommend them highly and use them again if I decided that I wanted to do another trip there.

Unmatched Safari Experience & Seamless Luxury Service
By: Mallory
Reviewed on: 23 Apr 2026
Our experience with andBeyond South Africa was absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, everything felt seamless, elevated, and thoughtfully coordinated. We were picked up in beautiful, high-end vehicles and every transition was handled flawlessly. The level of service from the guides and staff was exceptional - knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely invested in making the experience special.
The safari itself exceeded every expectation. Every game drive was exciting and unique, and the attention to detail, from the lodge accommodations to the food to the overall guest experience, was unmatched. It truly felt like everything was taken care of from A–Z, allowing us to fully relax and be present.
This was easily the highlight of our trip and one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had. I would highly recommend andBeyond to anyone looking for a premium, once-in-a-lifetime safari experience.

Sustainability
Our Commitment
For over 30 years, every decision that &Beyond makes, from our greater conservation model to the tiniest details of the activities that take place across our tour operations, revolves around our core ethic of Care of the Land, Wildlife and People. These values have become an intuitive part of the way that we operate and are an integral element of our guest experience. We believe in taking less and giving more, and we let this belief shape the everyday choices we make at each of our 29 lodges and 18 on-site offices.
Through these choices and with the support of our guests, we have been building a vision that allows us to run sustainable operations in natural places that need to be preserved. This vision is guided by the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and underpins our goal for 2030, which is to scale our impact by increasing our protected biospheres and wildlife eco-systems from 9M acres to 50M acres – 25M of directly controlled/managed land & 25M of managed land influenced by our impact coalitions- and by empowering and creating shared value with the surrounding communities. This will be funded by doubling our revenue and tripling our profit through the delivery of extraordinary guest experiences that go beyond the expected in Africa, Asia and South America.
