Great!
We did a 7 days trip in Kenya and visited Abedare, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli. Our driver Antony was very professional, courteous, very knowledgeable and ready to help. He told us about each place we visited including explaining about each animal we saw.

On the ball, knowledgable, friendly!
Our driver was fantastic, very knowledgable and happy to answer all of our questions. He made sure we didn't miss out on anything - we saw a cheetah within 5 minutes of entering the park, and the big 5 within the first 2 days. Robert was very quick to respond to all of our emails and questions. I would highly recommend these guys to organise all aspects of your holiday, we really felt they went the extra mile for us!

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!!

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!

AMAZING ONCE IN A LIFE SAFARI
For our first time in Kenya we chose Beacon Safari with my girlfriend, following the good reviews on the internet. I really appreciated how Robert was responsive and acurate in the details, by showing us the car we will have, the guide that will do the game drive etc. At no point he put any pressure for the payment or to speed up the process (and of course I was a bit picky..!). He can answer directly on Whatsapp which makes the conversation way quicker. Our driver was there on time to drive us to Masai Mara and Amboselli (trip we personalised, you don't need to do a package), in a nutshell it was AMAZING. Our guide Eustace is passionate,doing his job since 16 years. So friendly and helpful, he never counted the time spent to do the sightseeing or to help with ANY request/help needed. We've seen the big 5 (okay maybe not the shy rhino :) ), he has like a 5th sense about which decision to take to spot animals, and of course he's in touch with the other guides of the reserves to tell each other infos. The vehicle was way more recent than the average other companies. We laughed so much together that it was a real pleasure to wake up each morning to go for the game drive. I will totally recommend this company..

Unforgettable Safari (with big five!)
We looked into 10 (!) different Safari Tout companies while researching the vacation of a lifetime. Beacon Safaris proved to be the best fit for us with flexible budget and the true ability to customize every step of the itinerery.
We were very satisfied with the level of service and communication Beacon Safaris. All our questions were answered quickly and sensibly. Robert is the best! :)
We were on 4 days (private) trip in Masai Mara NR, Lake Naivasha NP and Lake Nakuru NP, but we saw big five on our first full day game drive!
An abundance of wildlife and stunning landscapes made the experience unforgettable! We learnt so much about the country and wildlife.
There were absolutely no surprises on the trip. The accomondations were fabulous (Sopa Lodges). The van was in perfect condition. Off-road overcame perfectly!
Eric, our guide, was very knowledgeable, friendly and eager to please. The ones who were always late were us, but he was always in a good mood :) He also treated our son very well (5 y.o). We didn't need to worry about anything so we could focus on the wonder all around us. Many thanks to him! And i highly recommend him as a guide for all travelers.
We are so grateful to Beacon Safaris for making this dream come true for our family!
Highly recommend the experience provided by BS to anyone planning a Safari trip to Kenya!
ASANTE SANA!
