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.

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.
