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!!

Meet with expectation
We booked the safari tour from Beacon Safaris in2019 but had to postpone until this year because of covid.
The rescheduling wasn’t too smooth as the contact was not very responsive. We had to keep following up to ensure our confirmation. The total price also went up 19% at the end as we were told the price is adjusted because of covid.
As for the safari tour, we stayed at 4 days at Masai Mara and 1 day at Lake Nakuru. The game drive duration is quite short - we left hotel at 730am most of the days and return before 4pm if we didn't request to stay late. Very luckily we saw Big 5 and a mini migration during our trip. Daniel our driver is nice and will get to the animals asap when he heard the updates from the radio.
The hotel (Mara Kimana Camp) that we stay is nice too - food is good, staff is friendly, room is clean. Just the hot water supply is not stable and yellowish most of the time and the electricity is not stable occasionally as well but it’s understandable.
Overall, the experience is good and we enjoyed the safari tour.

Robert was responsive as we worked on our itinerary. After booking, it was hard to get replies.
We had an amazing time on our 7 day safari with our awesome guide Carlos. We did 2 nights in Amboseli, 1 night in Lake Nakuru, and 3 nights in Masai Mara. Carlos was so kind, patient, informative and was a pleasure to be around. I wish we had opted for the Land Cruiser for a more comfortable ride through the bumpy roads. Our van was quite old and has seen better days for sure. Robert was very responsive via email to answer all my questions and work on our itinerary in the beginning. But after we booked the trip, it became harder to get responses from him. Nevertheless, he was very nice and all went well. We would love to go back and would use Beacon Safari again.

Beautiful, fun safari!
We had a fantastic time on our trip with Beacon Safaris. We did a 6 day safari with two days at Masai Mara, 1 day at Lake Nakuru and 2 days at Amboseli. Each park is unique and incomparable. The lodging and food at each was also fantastic.
Our driver, Ken, was AMAZING. He was friendly with everyone and took excellent care of us. He was so knowledgeable about the area and animals. He answered all our questions. Ken could spot lions and rhinos from the road and got us so close. It was an amazing experience.
Definitely recommend booking with Beacon! The entire process was easy and smooth.

5-Day Masai Mara Lake Nakuru Amboseli Safari
Great experience with Beacon Safaris. This was our first safari and our guide (Alex) did a great job with us. He had a knack for going to where the animals were going, not just where they were at the time. Lodging and meals were great as well. Additionally they were very responsive in answering our questions prior to the trip, which was very comforting.

Amazing adventure with Beacon Safaris
Amazing adventure, Ken our guide / driver was superb. Made everyone relaxed, confident that he had everything under control. He had great rapport with everyone we encountered so was able to get us to the best locations to see all we wanted, elephants, lions, cheetahs, all close up. Left us with memories we will treasure forever.
Beacon Safaris gave very professional and enjoyable experience from booking to lodges to dropping back at the airport
Beacon Safaris were fantastic, Daniel looked after us every step of the way.
Great tour with Beacon Safari’s. Daniel was excellent, we really enjoyed our visit.

He is reliable, experienced and kind.
We had a great time with Carlos, he really knows the best way to get to know the parks. He is a great driver and an experienced tour guide. He showed us everything, he could in 6 days, we will always remember this time, and we’ll take home beautiful memories.

Amazing experience, would highly recommend to all!
From start to finish the tour was fantastic. Even at the booking stage, communication was prompt, efficient and helpful. Actual service from Willie, our safari guide, was outstanding. He was always on time, from first picking us up through to airport drop off again. Great knowledge of the animals and environment; safe and reliable driver. Value for money of the tour was excellent, the lodges booked were great places to stay and the whole safari experience as a whole was amazing. We were lucky enough to see a huge array of wildlife, only animal missing from the “big five” for us was the leopard, but to be fair only spotted on rare occasions. Would definitely recommend this provider to all
