very exciting to experience the animals so close
very exciting to visit Kenya and experience the nature, animals and a little bit of Kenyan culture.
the weather was very pleasant, rainy at night and nice warm during the day. we did not experience the major problems with mosquitoes or other insects.
our guide was nice and pleasant and a very good driver. he told a part when we asked him, otherwise he didn't say much.

Amazing to see the big 5 in their habitat.
The wildlife, weather, our guide Stanley from Venture Savannah were excellent. Most of Lodges we stay were great.
The biggest disappointment was to be caught on a FRAUD by the company “Kenya Walking Survivors Ltda”, I paid 50% 4 months in advance , had communication with Mr Otieno but 10 days before my trip all stopped. Ann at Ibis Nairobi help me to rebooked my Safari with Ms Pauline Mwarari from Venture, wonderful lady.
I’m a teacher from NY and love to travel.

Beautiful Kenya.....disgraceful Tukio!
We travelled to Kenya for a safari trip of a life time. We absolutely loved Kenya, it’s wildlife and it’s people.
Kenya is a fabulous country to visit for Safari and seeing the Big Five.
However, just be advised that it is expensive, for example we paid €60 fora bottle of wine in a restaurant and we got the feeling that it was not just the wilder beast that are easy prey but tourists are very much so too.
Our tour company Tukio were good at the planning stage but we were let down very badly by them regarding accommodation. We tried to book a five star lodge which was only available for one night though we wanted two nights, and we offered for the same price, a completely different far inferior lodge in which we felt unsafe and could not even eat the deplorable food which was presented to us. When we wanted to change lodge we got very poor service from Tukio, who did very little to help our situation. We would definitely advise not using this company.

Best place for safari is east africa including Kenya
We visited several African countries and Kenya is one of the best. It beats southern africa with its wildlife, pop-up style vehicles, food and lodges. The Indian vegetarian jnfluence, Belgian and French influence from neighboring countries provides much better food than the souther African British and Dutch style of food. It is easier to fly to and cheaper from US and Europe.

Kenya is self-evidently one of the best destinations in Africa to see wildlife. There are many animals within the large preserves such as Masai Mara National Reserve and the several national parks, and there even is an urban gem of a national park just outside of Nairobi. There are many safari outfitters to choose from, and despite (or because of) the sometimes intimidating levels of security, the experience seems very safe for tourists. It is sad that so much of the country no longer features significant wildlife, but it is fortunate that there are so many game reserves and parks. With prudent prior planning, a visitor can enjoy an amazing safari in Kenya.

Best destination for wildlife safari
It was my first ever safari trip and I must say it was definitely worth it. My husband and I, we both love wildlife and so we planned Kenya trip. Joseph, our tour agent from Mufasa tours is the most genuine tour agent that i have come across. Thanks to his communicative and helpful attitude, he devised the most feasible and best package in our budget.
We spent 7 days covering Masai Mara, Amboseli, Nakuru and Nairobi. At Amboseli the scenic beauty is at its best and Mara is magical. It was overall an exciting and refreshing trip.

Big 5 and many more
Our guide Ayoni went above and beyond and we saw the big 5 in our first few hours of the game drive, this included the black rhino which had not been spotted for a while by anyone. Overall amazing experience and plenty of wildlife to see.

Brilliant, better then I expected.
Food and accommodation was amazing. Wildlife, scenery outstanding, much better I expected. We had excellent weather. This was well organised safari, the only thing that did not go well, was that our driver had to leave us half through the safari due to a emergency, and communication was poor. This needs to be improved for the future.

Best Holiday so far!
Jambo!
We had an absolutely amazing experience in Kenya/Africa with Beacon Safaris.
We booked a 6-day safari tour with them for Masai Mara - Lake Nakuru - Amboseli. Organizing the trip with Robert was a breeze. No delays in response. Very courteous. He arranged a private tour for just me and my girlfriend and provided us with the required upgrades for a more comfortable and exciting experience which is exactly what we wanted. He upgraded our vehicle into a 4x4 free of charge - it was my birthday holiday after all. Many thanks to Robert and the Beacon Safaris team!
Daniel, our guide, was the best. He was one of the friendliest, charming, and good-natured people we ever had the pleasure to meet, and having him is our guide for almost a week just made the total experience the best among all of our holidays ever. He answered every question we had, and he went out of his way to make our Safari experience the best it could be - he always made sure we get to see what we wanted to see and surely he did! Every day of our safari tour always ended in a memorable experience and we owe it all to him. He was always in a fantastically upbeat mood, was always ready for a great conversation, and seemed to greatly value his job. All hands down to Daniel!
Daniel definitely deserves commendation - even a raise/promotion if possibe! He was just an absolute joy to be with and very passionate about his job. We could not recommend anyone else but him! If we ever come back, or if our friends decide to go for a safari in Kenya, we will definitely request and recommend Daniel!
Overall, Beacon Safaris is really the number one choice you should make when you decide to go for that African safari holiday! They're excellent, professional, and extremely wonderful to associate with. Thank you Daniel, Robert, and everyone at Beacon Safaris for making this the trip of our dreams. A big ASANTE SANA to all off you!
Choose Africa, choose Kenya, choose Beacon Safaris!
