Amazing safari - saw the big five!
We did a 4 day safari to Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara and it was amazing. Antony was our driver/guide and he was great. He took really good care of us and went out if his way to make sure we saw the big five! Which we did!
Also the communication beforehand with Robert was very good and he was very helpfull.
Thank you Beacon Safari!

Professional Driver, Fastest E-mail Response, Safe
We are a group of 3 people traveling from Thailand. We requested quotes from 3 different companies. Beacon Safaris was the first one that answered. Robert, the administrator, gave us very detailed information of what we were unsure or curious of.
On our first day, Anthony, our private tour driver for the safari, came to pick us up in our hotel in Nairobi in time. He made sure the itinerary was clear to us and encouraged us to ask as many questions as we wanted.
During the game drive, he did his best to lead us to see Big 5. The experience completed our wish and made our trip a memorable one. We surely recommend Beacon Safaris and Antony the driver. When on a safari tour, our tip to you is that make sure your camp, hotel or lodge is located inside the park, not outside.

Amazing safari in Masai Mara in May
Highly recommend!! I’ve spent loads of time researching agencies and options - this is by far the best value for money safari there is considering you have a private land cruizer and a really nice camp in the masai mara - not outside (the majority of agencies have worst camps, are more expensive and yet do not offer a land cruizer or private vehicle). Robert is super professional and always available.
The driver was amazing, knowledgeable and flexible. We saw the big 5, and had a wonderful time.
Highly suggest!!

Incredible! Saw the big 5!
My boyfriend and I had a great 3 day, 2 night experience in the Maasai Mara thanks to Beacon and especially our incredible guide/driver Daniel! He was so kind, knowledgeable and great driver. The 4x4 van was clean and comfortable, and our drive from Nairobi to the Maasai was great. I would definitely recommend Beacon to anyone, and would make sure they request Daniel to be their driver!!

Great 4 day safari!
We had an amazing experience with Beacon Safaris! Communication with Robert was superb, he answered all of my questions with patience and kindness and suggested a great trip. We were picked up at the airport by Anthony, who I imagine must be the best driver in the world! The roads were rough due to the rains and he didn't have any trouble. We saw the big 5 and pretty much every other animal under the sun thanks to Anthony! It was a spectacular experience I will never forget! We ended our trip to Kenya with a city tour with Victor. We had a great time in Kenya thanks to Beacon Safaris!

Everything we hoped it would be!
We just completed our 5 day safari in Kenya with our guide Anthony and it was amazing! Anthony is a very experienced guide and did a great job making sure we saw the things we wanted to see. We went with our 8yo and 12 yo boys and they absolutely loved everything about it.
Booking the safari was very easy and we did not have any issues. I confirmed our pickup location and time before leaving the US and everything went exactly as planned. We were happy with the itinerary and our lodgings and definitely would use Beacon and Anthony again in the future.

Experience of a lifetime
My husband and I were slightly apprehensive having never done a safari before but the arrangements and booking process was amazing with Beacon Safaris, Robert made everything so easy. Every single minute was exceptional Antony picked us up at the airport and dropped us off at our hotel and Khan was there bang on time the next morning for our safari to begin. Khan was superb and his knowledge immense, nothing was too much bother. Khan took us to the Sarova at Masi Mari, he was such good company and we learnt such a lot from him, he went out of his way to give us a good experience, an absolute credit to Beacon Safaris who I cannot recommend enough. Sadly when we went to Lake Nakuru Khan was unable to come along, which I understand is very unusual as you normally have the same guide throughout. We had Evans who was also very good. We saw the big 5 and so much more. Don't consider booking with anyone else!

Spectacular Safari
We went into this vacation not knowing what to expect. Robert of Beacon Safaris was wonderful to deal with, every time we wanted to add, change or just ask a question he was right there with the information and this made the planning phase very easy. Once we arrived in Nairobi we were met at the airport and taken to our hotel. The two days we spent in Nairobi were well planned and we knew just what we were doing at all times.
When it came time to head out on Safari, Ken was our guide and he truly made our vacation fantastic. He was so knowledgeable and always answered all our questions, plus kept us informed as to what we were seeing. We visited Masai Mara National Reserve, Lake Nakuru National Park, Amboseli National Park and Tsavo West National Park. All were great in their own way, different animals and landscape. We were lucky enough to see the big 5 and so much more wildlife. Each day just got better and better! From breakfast with the hippos, a balloon ride over the savanna to watching the sunset from the top of Lion Rock. It was all spectacular! I know I said it once but it bears repeating, Ken was an outstanding guide and you would be lucky to have him lead your Safari. I highly recommend Beacon Safaris.

Amazing Kenya.
We really enjoyed our time in Kenya and hope to be back sometime soon. Kenya is stunning. The parks, hotels and the overall safari experience was amazing. We enjoyed the warm welcome and gracious hospitality extended to us by everyone we met. It made our trip really special.
Our overall experience with Beacon safari was outstanding. Robert, the owner, was very helpful with planning the trip to our specifications. He was prompt with emails and was patient with all the questions I had. Our itinerary included Samburu, the great rift valley and it's beautiful lakes and Maasai Mara. Antony was our guide for the trip.
Antony's a good guide and tried his best to show us the big 5, which we were lucky to find. He was polite and friendly and had no major issues with him.
