Masai Mara as its best!
Beacon Safaris provided my family with a first class Masai Mara experience. I requested Ilkeliani Camp hotel and they delivered my request. Robert replied our e-mails in a very timely manner and his answers were clear. My husband and I considered, at the beginning, that pricing was fair but at the end of our trip we thought it was a very good value for the money paid. Josh was assigned to us as our guide and driver; we could not have asked for a better person for the task. We had fun and enjoyed his vast knowledge of the Kenyan Savannah as well as the great radio support group formed by all the guides in the area. Josh was always trying to give us the best experience possible hence we got to see incredible animals, including the migration groups.
On our trip back to Nairobi we could experience a great view of the Rift Valley Region which was breathtaking.
We wanted to do another excursion with Beacon Safaris but our family engagements did not allowed us to do it. Summarizing, we highly recommend Beacon Safaris services for your next visit to Kenya AND we will certainly use their services again on our next trip. Thank you Robert and Josh!!

2 day tour in Amboseli
We had a 2 days tour in amboseli from Nairobi. the tour was really nice and everything that was promised when we booked. we managed to see a lot of animals and our driver was very knowledgeable (John).
Don't underestimate the drive when you go there from Nairobi, it's pretty long especially if you arrive back in Nairobi around 5-6pm when the trafic is crazy. The Lodge where we stayed was amazing, Kibo Safari Camp (we enjoyed a lot the staff and the swimming pool).

The best experience
I can only recommend Beacon Safaris as we have the best experience in Africa!! Reality surpassed our expectations. The guide was very good, he really knew about the different locations, best spots to see the animals and a total dedication to us. We will a 100% come back with them.

Wonderful visit to the Masai Mara
We have just got back from a 3 day Safari with Beacon and it was a great experience.
We were lucky enough to see and photograph all of the "Big 5". Paul our driver was good, quite a character! The Ilkeliani Camp was also incredible, with impeccable service and a lovely setting.

Well organised with great vehicles and the best driver/guides taking us on a fantastic safari
We went with 3 other couples doing a 12 day safari which started in Northern Kenya and went through the Rift Valley ending up with 4 days in Tsavo before returning to Nairobi where it all started. In 2x7 seater 4WDs with the best driver/guides I have had in 15 years of taking clients on Safari. Clients saw all the Big 5, a migration crossing of the Mara river, went on a boat ride on Lake Naivasha, experienced the local culture & cuisine as well as staying in fantastic lodges & camps enjoying great food at all meals served by very friendly locals.

A Masai Mara safari that we’ll never forget!
We had a fantastic experience on our Beacon safari that surpassed our expectations. We went on a private 4-day safari to the Masai Mara and John was our driver and guide. John was a great guide; knowledgeable, experienced, personable, prompt, and overall a lot of fun. John drove us all over the Masai Mara and he had a skill for finding so many different kinds of animals, too many to even count. John clearly went out of his way to get the best possible angles for our photographs, and it was clear with his communications with other drivers that John was one of the most experienced and knowledgeable drivers there about the Masai Mara. We felt so lucky to have had him as our guide!
In the four days we saw ~20 giraffes, elephants (3 to 4 families), ~30 lions, 5 leopards, 8 cheetahs, 3 rhinos, water buffalo, zebras, wildebeest, gazelle, impala, baboons, hippos, crocodiles, ostriches, vultures, other birds, warthogs, and many more that I can’t remember at the moment. We would enthusiastically recommend Beacon and especially our driver/guide John for your safari!

Awesome Experience
We went to Kenya in the month of August mainly to witness the Great Migration in Masai Mara. After going through the reviews in Safari Bookings, we finalised on Beacon Safaris. Mr.Robert who is in charge of Beacon Safaris was very prompt and diligent with his responses. There was never a delay from his side ever. We stayed in some amazing places at Masai Mara, Amboseli and Lake Nakuru. It was absolutely wonderful. Our guide throughout the journey was Mr.Henderson who was very knowledgeable and kept giving us some many trivia about animals while we were on safari. I would definitely recommend Beacon Safaris anyday. I also felt their prices were reasonable. Plus the experience has just been wonderful!

Fantastic long weekend in the Masai Mara
Fantastic long-weekend with Beacon Safaris. Had 3 nights in the Masai Mara and couldn't fault our adventure. Stayed in Illkiliani Camp, saw all the Big-5 plus more, and also witnessed the migration across the Mara River. Also visited the Masai village which was worth it. Thank you to Beacon who made our adventure so easy.. and a special big thanks to our driver Moses for knowing exactly where to go and how to get there! The 4x4 was perfect and we absolutely loved our stay. Thanks again.

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.
