Wonderful, Magical, Big 5 in <24 hours on low season
Daniel was our tour guide and was amazing. I have been on numerous safaris but this was my husband's first safari and he was able to see all of the big five and other big cats within the first 24 hours. Daniel made that happen. The entire experience was the best safari I have done even better than Chobe and Kruger. Thank you so much

An experience that exceeded my expectations. Amazing!
The overall experience was amazing. We arranged everything via email less than two weeks before the start of our trip. The responses to the emails were fast, so the short time before our trip started was not a problem. We had a 5 days / 4 nights safari experience, starting with two nights at Masai Mara, 1 night at Lake Nakuru and 1 night at Lake Naivasha. This felt like a good balance between time on the road, time to relax at the hotel and time for game drives.
Our driver was Alex, it was great having him. He was safe on the road, always on time and very friendly, welcoming us with a big smile every day!
The accommodations on our plan were also great. The hotels had always amazing views and all the amenities necessary. The ambiance was amazing, the food was delicious with lots of options, and all the staff were extremely friendly. We stayed at the Sopa Lodge group on all destinations.
The vehicle that we traveled in was a modified Toyota Land Cruiser. There was lots of room and the vehicle was only 1 year old. We had lots of water available at all times included in the pack and available in the car's fridge.
I would definitely recommend Beacon Safaris to anyone looking for a great experience.

Incredible Safari experience, 5 days 4 nights
My wife and I agreed that this was one of the best vacations we have ever had. The Sopa lodges were wonderful. Our Safari guide, Daniel was incredible. I called him the "Magic Man." First, he is a fantastic driver, navigating on roads that almost shouldn't be called roads. And his determination to find game was apparent when he veered off the dirt road, raced through tall grass and bushes to put us in the middle of a pride of lions. He made sure we saw the big 5. He even found a leopard in a tree, eating a Thompson Gazelle. We got to within 20 feet of the tree. The most amazing pictures. Daniel made the experience truly memorable.

Spectacular 3-day Masai Mara safari with Carlos at Beacon Safaris
CARLOS was our amazing guide on our 3-day safari in Masai Mara. We took his advice and started at 6:30am on the first day. By 7:30am we had seen a leopard, which is usually rare to spot. By 8:30am we had found a cheetah eating its prey and later followed it as it walked through the savanna. The day went by in a daze, as we spotted lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, gazelles, warthogs, baboons... Carlos was always at the right place at the right time and we lost count of the number of lion families we saw. The most amazing part was spending alone time with the lions, 2 to 3 meters from them, the land cruiser's engine off, with noone else around. Our 2nd day started with the unbelievable sight of a lion painstakingly dragging along a cow it had just killed, stopping every 5 or 6 meters to catch its breath. Carlos was enthusiastic and shared loads of interesting facts. We loved the Enkorok lodge and Robert's organization was absolutely perfect. We felt treated as VIPs and the whole experience was unforgettable. I would strongly recommend booking with Robert at Beacon Safaris and asking for Carlos as a guide, for their professionalism, sound advice, good communication and capacity to deliver beyond expectations.

2 day Amboseli Safari
Everything was perfect. Driver/ guide Daniel was very profesional during Safari. Accomodation in SOPA Lodges made possible by Beacon Safari was the best choice. I highly recommend this tour operator

Incredible!
I really enjoyed my trip with Beacon. Our guide John was very kind and gave us a great experience. Robert who was our point of contact before the trip was pretty quick to respond and helped us plan it kind of last minute. I did feel the burden of communication at times and had to reach out multiple instances to ensure they had all the essential info as well as to ensure I did. Despite some communication issues, I would definitely recommend Beacon for a Safari.

professional and responsive tour operator that delivers well-organized, unforgettable tour
I recently had the pleasure of going on a safari trip in Kenya with Beacon Safaris, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! Despite planning my trip just four days before my flight, the company was incredibly responsive, answering my inquiries quickly and clearly while accommodating all my preferences.
Their service was exceptional. From the moment I landed, everything was handled smoothly, with my driver Danial providing unparalleled support throughout the journey. He went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable and worked tirelessly to secure the best spots for capturing stunning wildlife photos.
The value for money was excellent. The selected lodges were top-notch, offering a perfect combination of luxury and immersion in nature. The service at the lodges was equally impressive, making every moment enjoyable and stress-free.
Reliability was another strong point for Beacon Safaris. While one lodge was overbooked due to my last-minute booking, they quickly adjusted the itinerary and made it work seamlessly. Every other aspect of the trip went exactly as planned, from timely pick-ups to the organized game drives.
The highlight of the tour was, of course, the incredible wildlife encounters. The itinerary provided the perfect balance of relaxing moments and thrilling adventures, leaving me in awe of Kenya's natural beauty.
Beacon Safaris delivered a well-rounded, professionally managed safari experience that I will never forget. A big thank you to the team and especially to Danial for making this trip so special!
