Booked my recent vacation to Meghalaya and Kaziranga from Ananta & Beyond and it was a lovely experience right from the time I started to talk to them till the time I finished my vacation. During the (Read More)planning, they were genuinely trying to piece things together for us, and were helping coordinate the itinerary as per our needs. During our vacation as well, the driver who was assigned was very professional, and the hotels that were booked were all excellent. And talking about Meghalaya and Kaziranga, they were spectacular. Our first venture to the North east was lovely and left us wanting to explore this more. I will definitely recommend Ananta & Beyond for a personalised vacation and kudos to their entire team.

I traveled with my family recenlty on a 11-day Scandinavia and Arctic journey, curated by Ananta & Beyond. We had a memorable experience and the arrangements were smooth. We went to Bergen, Oslo, Rova (Read More)niemi, stayed in a glass igloo and traveled onward on a train to Helsinki. It was designed perfectly with every element into place. The hotels were well chosen. The coordination of tours and sightseeings including Norway in a Nutshell was seamless. Also the Ananta & Beyond team were always available for communication through out. Their responsiveness made everything feel easier and more manageable. We felt it was so much better organised than our last year's vacation with Thomas Cook. Truly outstanding service, and we look forward to planning more holidays with Ananta & Beyond.

An unforgettable adventure in Kenya! Our family trip to Kenya, planned by Ananta & Beyond, was nothing short of unforgettable. Travelling with my wife, daughter and son, we were lucky to spot all of (Read More)the Big 5—each sighting more breathtaking than the last. Our driver was so friendly and knowledgeable, making every game drive enjoyable. We encountered an issue with our vehicle, the Ananta team resolved it in time ensuring our holiday continued without a hitch. The absolute highlight of our journey was the hot air balloon ride over the Masai Mara—floating over vast plains dotted with wildlife at sunrise truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime moment. In all, we had a beautiful, memorable Kenyan Safari experience for our family - well deserved and long awaited!
