Good arrangement and experienced guide !
Our guide Ken is very experienced, and he took very good care of us during the trip. We could see big 5 + crossing within two days! We had a good trip with him and 100% recommend booking with Beacon.

Great tour!!
My husband and I had such a great time in Kenya! The 7 day safari was perfect for us as we wanted to visit Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru & Masai Mara.
Our guide/driver, Charles was very knowledgeable, he told us a lot about the animals and answered to all the questions we asked during the tour. And he tried everything so we could see all the Big5!
One small disappointment about the company was that there was a change in the itinerary(hotel) without prior notice. We were excited to stay at a resort where hippos come for food & water... but the alternate lodge was also nice.
We chose 4×4 land cruisers for our drive with some extra cost, and it was worth the money as the road was extremely bumpy. The car was very clean and comfy!
Also I recommend private tour instead of the group ones!
Overall, it was an amazing experience and we will definitely choose Beacon Safaris again when we go back!!

Super-friendly, reliable, flexible and customer-orientated, from 1st email to drop-off after safari
We (mother and daughter) went on a private safari from Nairobi to Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli.
We chose to travel with Beacon Safaris because of their brilliant reviews, the proposed accommodations and the good value for money for the trip.
We must say that we are incredibly happy with our choice. The communication with Robert was always very smooth, and our guide Carlos was just wonderful! He worked tirelessly, navigating the roads and making sure that we got to see all the wonders that Kenyan wildlife has on offer. He was very flexible to accommodate our interests and always made sure that we were safe.
He is very knowledgeable, and he made us feel very much at ease during the entire trip; talking and joking when the mood was right, but also comfortable silences that allowed us to nap or just marvel at the Kenyan countryside passing by, when we were tired.
We felt very safe in his hands, and felt very sad to say goodbye in Nairobi.
We hope that we can return again one day, and we would then definitively choose Beacon Safaris again, and request to travel with Carlos!
Thank you so much for everything!

Go on Safari with Anthony from Beacon
We love Anthony!! we have had the very best experience with Beacon safaris. Anthony picked us up right on time and we drove all the way to the Massai Mara. The car was very comfortable and Anthony is very safe and excellent driver. Our itinerary was massai Mara national Park, Amboseli National park and Lake Nakuru national Park. We stayed in wonderful hotels with breathtaking views which was just amazing. Anthony made sure we saw all big five and much, much more. He’s very smart and experienced and told us all about the animals what we wanted to know. We found out he was very well-connected to the other guides so whenever there was an animal spotted, they talk with walkie-talkies to each other, and Anthony brought us there to see the animals. My brother and my soon to be sister-in-law got engaged in the Massai Mara and Anthony organized some flowers on the bed in the hotel for them which was very kind. We have had truly the best experience with beacon, and especially with Anthony and we are so very lucky to have had the time of our lives with him. Make sure to book with Beacon Safari and don’t forget a good tip.
Thanks again and we can’t recommend this experience enough .

The whole schedule and experience is very good!
The whole trip was great! There were some small problems in communication because of the poor level of English. But our guide was very patient and professional and showed us a lot of animals!

Excellent Safari! Excellent Guide!
I selected and compared several safaris companies at very first, like one month before departure. After reviewing the itinerary and comparing the price and accommodation and etc. , I decided to choose Beacon. I did make a wise decision.
Robert always replied me quickly and answered my questions clearly and thoroughly. He provided me a quite good price compared with other companies.
Daniel was chosen to be our 6-day tour's guide and we were very lucky to have Daniel to be our guide. He is quite kind, friendly, enthusiastic and professional. During 6 days, he tried his best to let us to see many many animals, including big five! Especially at Masai Mara, he drove over 50km to Masai Triangle for taking us to see leopard, which is very very rare. Also he would like to hear what we want to do and try to make our trip flexible. Many thanks to Daniel and he gave us a wonderful Kenyan Safari tour. I definitely recommend him to be your Safari guide.

Do it. it‘s the best you can get!
Perfect Support in planning and even with our Visa troubles. Many thanks to Robert for that.
Also the Tour was perfectly organised and we had wonderful Lodges. Daniel, our Guide was very engaged and got the best out of our trip. He did a great job. He also listened to our wishes and showed us Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru National Parks.
We do recommend Beacon Safaris to any persons interested in an exciting Safari with excellent Organisation.
This flexibility, the professional support the experience and the affordable price are only some points why we would come back again and book with Beacon Safaris.
Thank you for an unforgettable adventure.

Excellent 6-day safari - we recommend
We booked a six day, two person (couple) private safari to Masai mara (2 nights), lake Nakuru (1 night) and Amboselli (2 night) in safari van. Charles was our guide and he could not be more experienced, interesting and knowledgeable, he knows every bit of the parks and works to track down the best sights - we saw a lion kill a buffalo!! The tour was very reliable and well organised, for example the car had a problem with the petrol filter but Charles got it fixed over a lunch break, and Kenyan run which is a plus for us. The only thing I personally would change about our trip is I would skip Lake Nakuru and probably add an extra day in Masai mara, as there was a lot of driving and although the lake was interesting it was the least of the three. We strongly recommend staying in the mara park itself as the unfenced lodges have animals that come in overnight! Having the van to ourselves was also great as you can move around to either side/back/front to see the animals best. We would certainly use Beacon Safaris again if we are able to come back to safari in Kenya.

3 Day Masai Mara Safari. Most incredible experience of my life
I visited Kenya on a solo trip with the sole intent of doing safari. I booked my safari in Masai Mara with Beacon after seeing other people have good experiences with them. I dealt with Robert through email and text to set the trip up. Robert was excellent about getting back to me despite the 8 hour difference in time. Once I was there I didn’t have to worry about a single thing as Robert and Beacon Safaris had everything arranged for me. I was picked up by a guide by the name of Ken who I highly recommend. I spent basically 3 full days with him and he was nothing but great. He made the entire experience that much more enjoyable. He was very knowledgeable about the everything from the Kenyan culture to details about all the animals we came across. I would 100% recommend booking a safari through Beacon Safaris!
