Unforgettable
We took the 7 day Taste of Kenya Safari using a Land cruiser and it was a wonderful experience. Robert was very responsive and helped us decide on the itinerary, replying to every little query through mail/WhatsApp promptly. Arrangements were great and the trip was organized well. And yes, it is better to opt for a land cruiser as compared to a van, We couldn't have asked for a better guide than Antony, a steady driver, hawk eyed where spotting was concerned, a kind human who made us very comfortable and took care to make the safari an unforgettable experience. This despite having to spend Christmas away from family on duty to take us on the safari. Beyond the call of duty, he helped retrieve a personal article which one of us had left behind at one of the resorts, through his network of friends and colleagues. We believe we saw an incredible variety of animals and birds thanks to his experience and timing.
The trip was well curated giving enough time at Masai Mara and Amboseli. Only thing to look out for in case one opts for mid range accommodation like we did is that - in Lake Nakuru if your accommodation is inside the park area, you can go in a second time (next day) with the same entry fee. If not you cannot unless you pay again. So it is advisable to check the itinerary and the location of your hotel. Masai Mara and Amboseli are no problems that way.
Thanks Beacon Safaris for a taste of incredible Kenya in the best way possible. Thanks Robert and Antony. Will surely recommended you guys to friends and family.

Very good operator! You can trust!
We went for a 3 days / 2 nights Safaris in the Mara at Basecamp Explorer. Beacon Safaris have planned all the trip for us! We had a great experience with everything (accommodation, meals, etc.) The driver (Antony) is Excellent! He was explaining us a lot about the animals, the Mara, The Maasai people, etc. We really appreciated that he took time to explain us a lot of things during the Safaris!

Excellent 6-day safari - we recommend
We booked a six day, two person (couple) private safari to Masai mara (2 nights), lake Nakuru (1 night) and Amboselli (2 night) in safari van. Charles was our guide and he could not be more experienced, interesting and knowledgeable, he knows every bit of the parks and works to track down the best sights - we saw a lion kill a buffalo!! The tour was very reliable and well organised, for example the car had a problem with the petrol filter but Charles got it fixed over a lunch break, and Kenyan run which is a plus for us. The only thing I personally would change about our trip is I would skip Lake Nakuru and probably add an extra day in Masai mara, as there was a lot of driving and although the lake was interesting it was the least of the three. We strongly recommend staying in the mara park itself as the unfenced lodges have animals that come in overnight! Having the van to ourselves was also great as you can move around to either side/back/front to see the animals best. We would certainly use Beacon Safaris again if we are able to come back to safari in Kenya.

Great trip and experienced guide
We did a 3 day trip to Amboseli Nationalpark with Beacon Safaris and stayed at Kibo Safari Camp. The communication with Beacon Safaris was very easy and they always responded promptly to any requests and it was even possible to book the hot air balloon Safari last minute. The accommodation was great, staff was very nice and our driver and guide was great. A very experienced and considered guide who always allowed us to take our time to take pictures and it was a very relaxed trip overall.

Beacon works with professionals who are extreamely well organized, punctual and highly skilled.
From the start, our communication with Beacon was easy, we received answers to our questions almost immediately. The program was clear and flexible, always tailored to our requirements. Their offer was fair. Our guide was highly qualified with 23 years experience. He answered all our questions thoroughly and did his best to visit and see maximum animals. If you want an unforgettable experience, without a doubt I recommend Beacon.
