Professionally organised safari to Amboseli
Good job.
Clear communication with Robert for preparation. Safari was done by James, nice guy; very friendly. He made very good efforts to let us see the animals that we wanted to see.
My suggestion is to provide more information about the animals and the nature during the safari.
Fantastic trip with a very friendly and knowledgeable driver (9 Days Magical Kenya)
We booked the 9 Days Magical Kenya trip with Beacon Safaris in July 2018 and can wholeheartedly recommend it.
We spent time in Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Navasha, Amboseli and Tsavo West and Tsavo East and enjoyed every single one of these beautiful places.
The accommodations chosen by Beacon Safaris were excellent. Especially the Kilaguni Lodge in Tsavo West, with the waterhole being visible from the restaurant and bar was a truly magical place. The food was always excellent.
We had the pleasure of having Eric as our guide, whom we also found to be an excellent driver – we always felt very safe. Eric clearly is very knowledgeable and didn’t tire to answer our countless questions, and was generally a very pleasant and friendly person to be around.
The only minor complaint we have was that the boat safari on Lake Navasha turned out to be an optional activity and not included in the package. The price didn’t matter much, in the overall scheme of things, but we had specifically chosen Beacon Safaris because their itineraries didn’t feature optional activities – we had wanted to know exactly how much we’d end up spending for exactly which activities and game drives.

excellent adventure
Booking:
The booking process was very smooth. Robert, the manager I believe, was quick to respond to our questions and organize our entire trip.
Trip:
The safari went off without problems. Our driver and guide, Peter, was wonderful. He was knowledgable in the wildlife and shared a lot of other information about Kenyan life, culture, and politics. Peter was with us for the entire trip (except one short leg from our hotel to a meet-up point, where it was a different driver).
As for the actual game drives, it was an amazing experience! We saw pretty much every animal that lives in the region, except the leopard. Regardless, I would recommend this company without hesitation, and am looking forward to the next time I go back!

Everything went according to plan.
Beacon provided what they promised. Harry, our guide, was an excellent driver and made sure that we saw all that Maasi Mara had to offer. He was right on time, could explain interesting information about the animals that we saw, and had good relationships with other guides. The guides have radios and share information about sightings of animals and Harry always seemed to get us to the right spot before the rest of the crowd. The mid-range camp that Beacon uses, Ilkeliani, was beautiful, comfortable and had great food and service. We were right across the river from Maasi Mara and could sit and watch the animals from the viewing platform in the evening. I would recommend both Beacon Safaris and Ilkeliani.

Beacon safari agency and it's people are reliable, knowledgeable and unobtrusive. Great experience!
We've been on our 7-days safari private tour, with Eric as a guide, and it was great! Tour was well planned, we started with Masai Mara, went to Nakuru, Amboseli and ended our tour in Tsawo west-Serena lodges (! which we highly recommend because of a unique view from terrace at wild animals drinking water at nearby lake). Each of those 4 parks is unique and interesting..Eric was great guide, very knowledgeable, unobtrusive and great driver which is very important taking into account Kenyan roads and driving culture. Robert was very responsive upon our arrival and during our stay which made us feel safe an taken care of. Anyway, we will recommend Beacon safari to our dear friends and family planning trip to Kenya..hope we'll come again once our kids will be older...and that says it all!

The Best Safari Tour, it exceeded our expectations
We went on a four day safari tour with Beacon Safaris. We visited lake Nakuru and Maassai Mara. Beacon Safaris made all the arrangements, hotel, car, game drives etc. On the first day, we were picked up from our hotel in Nairobi at 7:00 am and driven Lake Nakuru where we spent our first afternoon, made our first game drive, and spent our first night. The next day we were driven to Maassai Mara where we spent the last three days and went on multiple game drives. At Maassai Mara Beacon Safaris booked us at the Ashnil Mara Camp. An excellent hotel. The highlight of it all were certainly the daily game drives. Our driver, Ken, was fantastic. Thanks to him we managed to see four of the big fives, plus many other animals. He knew were to go to find the animals, and how to position the car to get the best pictures. When we booked the tour we did not expect to see so many animals, and so close to them. Ken is kind, pleasant, patient, accommodating, very knowledgeable, and an excellent driver. Thank you Beacon Safaris for making our safari trip a wonderful and memorable experience.

Beacon Safaris is awesome!
My girlfriend and myself both went on our first Safari and trip to Kenya with Beacon Safaris. What an amazing trip!
We planned our trip with Robert and had a very smooth process figuring out our trip and sending the payment. Once we arrived into Nairobi airport we met our driver for the week Ken.
Ken is undoubtedly the best safari driver and such an awesome human! We saw the entire big five on our 8 day safari and could have easily stayed for another week with Ken and the amazing wildlife. He was able to guide us around the park with ease, teach us about Kenya, and get us in the perfect position for amazing photos.
I would never hesitate to recommended Beacon Safaris and Ken to anyone I know.
Thanks again for the awesome trip,
Andrew & Hillary

Beacon safari did an excellent job making our first trip to Kenya a wonderful time!
First, we were very worried about our first trip to Kenya. However, Beacon safari (and all other safari tours that I requested quotes to) replied quickly and politely which helped me a lot to compare and choose the best tour for me.
The tour service was great, we were able to go to all the places we wanted to go. We were able to see almost all the animal we wanted to see (due to the season, and they’re WILD animals so it can’t be promised that there will all be there). Our tour guide, James ,worked so hard to look for all the animals for us. He also told me a lot of information about Kenya, the animals and the cultures which were very interesting.
I would highly recommend Beacon safari and will use it again if I have another chance to go to Kenya again.

7 Day taste of Kenya
The communication between Beacon Safaris was professional, courteous and efficient. Robert put together several itineraries and we selected one that best suited our needs. The guide and driver Daniel was excellent. I can highly recommend Beacon Safaris.
