Awesome
We had such a lovely guide Benjamin who was so enjoyable and have such a great interesting information about animals masai and culture. I recoomend this safari
Bon adventure! You can feel both risks and surprises here!
As most of reviewers' feedback, Robert replied slowly after the deposit. We felt risky and anxious while waiting for his response. But when we arrived at Nairobi, he assigned Ken to meet us in time and all the activities are arranged well.
Ken is really a good guide and driver, he is the big surprise for our safari experience. He knows everything. He can tell all the animals, birds and plants.
If you have a big heart, Beacon is one of choices; if you're interest in animals knowledge, and a well-arranged safari, Ken is the best choice.
Our tour operator was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable.
My husband and I booked a private tour with Beacon Safaris and opted for the safari Land Cruiser and we have no regrets! The driver picked us up from our hotel on time, made sure we had appropriate and safe stops while on the road, and was a great mix of personable and professional.
The hotel lodge that we stayed at on the tour was also exceptional and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there! We felt that the pricing was extremely reasonable for everything that was included in the experience. Would highly recommend and would book with them again.
Recommended guide Anthney
Out of 5 points, 5 points go to Anthney, the driver and guide, he is really nice. And 3 points go to Robert, he often answers questions that are not relevant. And he is very slow to respond, and he was even slower to respond after signing the contract and paying the money. One time, he even took 15 days to answer our question. Moreover, we agreed in the contract that the total fee includes the landing fee of Crescent Island, but when we arrived at Crescent Island, we were still required to pay the landing fee ourselves, which is really too much.
Fantastic once in a lifetime experience!
We initially booked a 4 day / 3 nights Safari with Beacons (Robert was our contact for this) in a private van.
Due to unforeseen industrial action at the airport our arrival flight was unfortunately delayed by a day.
Although we lost an important chunk of the Safari time - Robert and Harun (our guide) were really helpful and helped us make the most out of the shortened experience.
We ended up doing 3 days instead of 4.
We spent 2 days in the Masai Mara at the Mara Sopa lodge and 1 in the lake Nakuru at Nakuru Sopa lodge.
We were super lucky to see many many animals - basically seeing a National Geographic documentary live just a few meters away from us!
Harun was really friendly, great at spotting the animals and making his way through the other cars for us to have a fantastic view.
The lodges were absolutely beautiful too and the staff very welcoming and friendly.
Food was delicious in the Mara Sopa lodge, and a bit less in the lake Nakuru but still good. They had buffet with some local dishes and various options.
Given the circumstances I am glad we went for a private tour in these lodges.
This allowed us to be more flexible with our time (as our delay didn’t impact anyone else) and the lodges were inside the parks - something you may want to consider when you book as the commute is quite long.
Overall I am delighted with this once in a lifetime experience! Truly magical!
