Chris organised out safari which was way above our expectations in both accomadation and excitement
Our driver was Johna he was easy to get on with and great sense of humour,great in getting us close to the action and good photo positions.Driving through towns and small villages was very interesting seeing how locals live.Ol Ppajeta,Sambura,Aberdares were all great with excellent game drives seeing big five the number one for my wife and i was Maasai Mara this place is unbelievable and a must see with lion prides,leopards,cheetas,black and white rhino ect in great numbers. the road being rough in parts is well worth it.So thank you Beacon Safari and Johna for giving us an adventure we will never forget. Thankyou

Great first safari experience thanks to Beacon Safaris and specially to John, our guide!
I discovered this company in safarybookings.com, I booked with them because of the good reviews I read, and I'm so happy I did it. Since the first email, Robert perfectly adapted the 4 day Massai Mara - Lake Nakuru safari to our needs and acted all the time in a really professional way. And when we arrived we were so lucky to have John as a guide, friendly, informative and so skilled! It was amazing his knwoledge of the parks and the animals, when we asked him to find some animal he always managed to do it, and the best moment was when he took us to the place where we were going to see the great wildeebeest migration crossing the Mara river... We couldn''t know how, he already knew the place were the animals were going to cross, and we were the first ones in the spot, in the best place to see it and take photos...increcible! A experience we won't forget, and we are sure it would not have been the same without John. Thank you Beacon Safaris!

4 Days Masai Mara - Lake Nakuru Tour
We had a great time on a 4 day safari for two with Beacon Safaris and would definitely recommend to others. Robert was always very quick to reply and helpful with responses to our questions during the arranging of the tour. Being able to pay by PayPal was also a big plus for us. Eustus was our guide for the tour and we thought he was excellent, always on time, always helpful and knowledgeable in answering our questions and a lovely guy. He was brilliant at spotting the wildlife and working our way around the park on our own rather than with lots of other vehicles meaning we saw a lot of the wildlife without other vehicles around. The accommodation and food was very nice and everything went very smoothly. Overall we were very happy with our experience with Beacon Safaris.

Amazing 10-Day Magical Kenya Highlights Safari
First of all I want to thank Robert for his friendliness and especially the help with my medical issues during our magnificant safari. Thx Robert, electricity has been arranged in all the lodges/tented camps we visited. Thx as well to our driver/guide John who did his best to give us the best spots, the best angles to take pictures/movies. After visiting Tanzania and Botswana, Kenia is farout the most beautifull African country I have ever visited. We have seen so much amazing sceneries, animals, birds ... overwelming experience. Thx guys for everything, it has been our most beautifull experience ever. Only one minor negatif point, why didn't we do the safari as programmed on the last day, knowing our plane was only late at night. But that's just a detail, as said, this holiday was super! To end, my neighbour (remember John) asked if I would do it all over, as he is very intrested after all my stories. So perhaps ... next year ... ?

Exotic Safari Tour and Excellent Service
My wife and I took 7 Day Taste safari tour in Kenya in September 2016, which was offered by Beacon Safaris. In Masai Mana, Lake Lakuru, Amboseli and Tsavo West we saw a lot of different wild animals and stayed in very good lodges.
Our guide, Eustus, is a friendly guy and an experienced wildlife traceboy. We felt happy with him in the 7 days. I would like to appreciate Robert also, he always replyed to my email immediately before our departure for Kenya.
A little bit of regret is that September might be late and therefore we had not got the scene of wildbeest crossing Massai Mana River. June, July and August shoul be best for safari tour if you want to see the scene.

Everyone should experience this journey
In our Kenya safari trip, Beacon Safaris was our agency. All services that we had were excellent. Our game drive operator was Kenneth. He is a professional, decent and informative tour operator. Everything was well organised especially in Masai Mara. I strongly recommend beacon to everybody who are seeking for a well planned safari tour.

Absolutely fantastic - better than ever hoped for!!
We went for the taste of Kenya staying in masi Mara, sweetwaters, Nakuru (flamingo camp) and samburu...
I had no idea who to go with and somewhat blindly picked beacon.... Luckily it was the best decision ever. Our guide was Eustace - what an absolutely perfect gentleman. Always well turned out, amazingly knowledgeable, totally engaging, a true pleasure to spend time with. Nothing was too much trouble for him...
Our safari vehicle was fab, but there were only the two of us so tons and tons of room - great for the long journeys.
We saw everything, and I mean everything... Loads of lions (in all parks), 3 leopards (samburu and masi), elephants, hippos, crocs, buffalo, gnu, 14 rhino (both black and white (sweetwaters and Nakuru)), I won't list everything but I can't think of a species missing from the checklist and most were up close. Eustace got us everywhere and generally ahead of the masses.... I'd done Kenya before but not like this.
Robert sorts everything so easily that you worry if things have actually happened, but have faith - everything is sorted - thank you Robert, we never even got to meet you.
I honestly can't say enough good stuff about Eustace - we'd go back to see him again any day....
Do go to the trout tree restaurant if passing nanyuki, monkey attacks and hyraxes were favourites and the food is great....
Just be careful where you stay on the first night, paying a few extra quid at the airport is well worth it for a better room....
Robert, Eustace, thanks again.... We will be back....

Thank you for a flawless safari!
Beacon Safaris was excellent to work with from start to finish. Communication was quick and efficient. We had to make some changes in plans while we were in Kenya regarding pick-up. Thank you, Robert, for suggesting you send a driver to Kakamega to pick us up. The additional cost was reasonable and Josh actually found us in our somewhat rural and remote Kakamega home! Our Masai Mara experience was fabulous. We loved Ilkeliani Camp and were most happy with our guide and driver, Josh. We saw four of the big five! We had seen rhino the previous week at Ol Pejeta, so we weren't disappointed in not seeing one at Masai Mara. I would highly recommend Beacon Safaris.
Surreal amazing experience
My partner and I went on a 3 day Masai Mara Safari for the first time and I must say it was an absolutely out of this world experience, it was surreal. The team at Beacon Safari was very helpful and the communication was straight forward and precise from the beginning with our inquiry until the end of our Safari trip, they where also able to make special arrangements for us and willing to do whatever it took to make our Safari trip very enjoyable and I must say they've achieved this with flying colours, me and my partner have been overwhelmed by the whole experience and the services that Beacon Safari was able to offer us.
I'll like to thank Robert who was able to guide me and assist me through the whole process and went the extra mile to help us with our needs and also I'll like to thank John our Safari tour guide he was absolutely brilliant and very knowledgeable he made our entire Safari experience an amazing experience, it was a joy having him as our tour guide, he went out of his way to cater for our every needs he was excellent. Beacon Safaris is highly recommended 10 out of 10 score for their exceptional services provided we will definitely be recommending them to family and friends. Thanks again to the staffs at Beacon Safaris keep up the excellent work, absolutely without a doubt best of the rest.

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!!
