A paradise on Earth
Thanks a lot to the team of Beacon Safaris, my week in Kenya was awesome. I enjoyed EVERY MINUTE OF MY TRIP from the great lodge accommodations in Amboseli (Kibo) and in Tsavo (Kilaguni) and the exciting game drives (thank you John for everything). The perfect end was the 3 days in Diani Beach, a paradise on Earth. I gladly recommend Beacon Safaris for a stress free experience!
It exceeded our expectations
My family and I visited Kenya in early 2018 and we absolutely loved every single bit of it. We went to Masai Mara, Amboseli and Nakuru and got to see all the big five animals multiple times. In fact, we saw most of the wildlife present apart from a cheetah ( which was sad)
Jeoffrey as our guide and travel companion was exceptional and James was a wonderful host. Jeoffrey is very friendly, accommodating and went out of his way to make the trip memorable for us.
I wish I could give a 4.5 rating ! The only reason I wouldn’t give a solid 5 is I wish the windows in the Jeep would have been a bit bigger that would have made watching the game reserve a bit easier !

Perfect break from the city
Was able to see a lot of wildlife in a short time, during a one-night stopover in Nairobi. First idea was Nairobi NP to be a kind of extended zoo, but is really a vast place so close to the city, where you can easily spot wildlife (no elephants). Driver / guide was very flexible.
All-around impeccable holidays
Nature is all around you in Kenya, whose citizens strive from the bottom of their heart to make your trip worthwhile.

Amazing experience to see so many wild animals in a single location.
Like: amazing wildlife, spectacular Kilimanjaro scenery, clear Indian ocean waters with marine life and corrals, competent guides and friendly people, reasonable and clean accommodation;
to be improved: transportation infrastructure (took ages to drive from one part to another, some roads were so poor quality, looked more like off-road rally), excessive pressure on tourists to purchase souvenirs on the beach or national parks entrances

Kenya is a great place to see wildlife of all shape and sizes, people are friendly and open. The landscape is very dieverse cooler in the hills, and arid on the Masai Mara. We have been on safari there twice, and had a fantastic time. Will be going again soon I hope.
Good safari
Good game drive, roads were getting built so quite a bumpy ride

Must see
Our overall experience was really good, but mostly because of the wildlife and the scenery. To be able to meet these georgeus animals in their natural habitat, it is just an amazing experience - without words. Just have to see.
On the other hand, some annoying experience is also followed our trip. For example the daily tricks, frauds - like the immigration officer just put the 50 dollars directly into his pocket, when he realized that we are two of us, and we are paying by cash.
Also was really disappointing to see, that on the private tour - where we pay 150 USD for the trip and for the entry tickets to the national park - our tour operator bought us "children resident tickets".
So instead of paying for the national park 30 USD, he only paid 3 USD and just split the 27 USD with the other guys... And after that, we got a 1 USD meal, without any option to choose.

Amazing experience
It was wonderful to see wildlife in such an amazing scenery!
Really happy about accommodations, I didn't expect such comfort even on 'camping'.
Food was amazing and there was a lot of it ;)
When it comes to transportation and guides, it was good, but because we were a group with different itineraries, we had to change vehicles or someone else joined our vehicle. So at one moment we were completly packed (9 of us including the driver). It would be better if that was explained to us before we left and on the way (aditional changes were made), so we would know what to expect! Lack of information made us feel a little lost at times.
All in all a good experience and would do it again in a heartbeat!!
