Efficient, organised and friendly
This is my second time using Beacon Safaris and Robert and his team exceeded my expectations yet again. The communication is so easy and efficient and when you get there everything is organised so well. Johnny was our guide yet again and his knowledge on the animals and their behaviour still amazes me. More than that however he is a fantastic human being and makes the expirence so much better. I'm sure I will visit Kenya or Tanzania again and will only book with Beacon Safaris. That is guaranteed. Thank you Robert and Johnny for organising a brilliant experience for my family and I.

Great.
Ken, our driver, was really good. He navigated across half of Kenya from memory. He was able to show us all the wildlife and all with professionalism and affability.
All contact, communications and payments went smoothly. The whole experience was delightful.

Everything as Promise
They were amazing from first contact to make reservation (even though our group kept changing from 10 to 9 and finally to 8 people.) The minivans with drivers at 7:00 am sharp as arranged. The drivers/guide very nice, professional but approachable. Great english, great knowledge of Masai Mara animals. We had two vans and two drivers. They made sure we stayed together and strategized when looking for the game. We saw 4 out of the big 5 on our first drive which was the evening drive in day of arrival plus zebras, cheetahs, gazelles, wildebeest, birds, and more. The second day was a full day game drive and managed to witness a wildebeest migration plus saw once again and in different positions the Lion, Elephants and Buffalo. Did not see Leopard again, but saw again cheetahs family, elephant family, girafes, zebras and many more. They were very accommodating and allowed us to take our photos an always tried to place vehicle for best view. We took a package that include tent camp Ilkeliani. The accommodations were amazing. They provided water for us during day and allowed us to take some for our meals as well. Overall a great experience and will recomend them. Our drivers were the best: John and Eustus.

Safe and Competent Guide
The safari company answered our questions before arrival quickly and throughly. Our guide Ken was extremely knowledgable and an expert on the area. He asked us our expectations and was able to deliver a great safari experience.

Suggest a excellent safaris choice
If you can't find the travel agents, I recommend this Beacon Safaris than you.
First, Robert is the fastest reply to my question and outspoken person. Second, the data provided are authentic (including confirmation of hotel). Third, our driver and guide , John, in addition to providing the best viewing points to facilitate outside shooting. His eyes like a Hawk-Eye-like sharp, lion also can see in the yellow jungle.
Although we can't see the great migration, but we see that major wildlife. Thank you Beacon gives a relaxing and fulfilling journey.

Excellent!!! A+
We had a wonderful 7 days taste of Kenya safari, with our guide Antony. Starting with Masai Mara and ending with Tsavo. Antony spoke very good english and shared a wealth of information about ghe animals and the culture. I would recommend Beacon to anyone and would gladly book again.

Excellent - so much better than expected
Fastest back and forth communication with Beacon safaris vs. other providers.
Great explanations re pros of each camp/ using a 4x4 with no hard upselling which was much appreciated.
Excellent guide!!! Ken was easy to get along with, very polite, chatty when we wanted to chat, without being overly talkative -important as I am quite grumpy in the early morning :)
And most importantly, Ken saw it as a personal mission to get us to see the big cats and more animals. And when we didn't see as much after 1 drive, we could tell he was more disappointed than we were! We were not disappointed at all as we saw 7 cheetahs, 11 lions (male, female & cubs), the wildebeest migration and river crossing, a black rhino, hippos, elephants, zebras, giraffes and 2 live kills. We were admittedly very lucky but we also had an excellent guide.
We have already recommended Beacon Safaris to all our friends!

Execellent
We had a very good experience right from the biggening. The quick response from Robert to our emails prompted us to choose Beacon. Our guide Anthony made the four days trip a rewarding experience. we saw all big five. Infant we encountered 12 lions 9 cheetahs, 2 leopards and black and white Rhinos. Our 5 year old and 10 year old had a lovely experience. The camp stays were comfortable. We highly recommend Anthony as s guide and Beacon as your chosen Safari tour company.
