Becon Safari gave us the best experience ever!
If you are dreaming of going on a safari, I very much recommend, that you let Beacon Safari arrange your trip! You will get the best service of all, and you can tell them, what you prefer to see and do, and you will get it, as you like. I am sure, you also just can give them period and budget, and they will give you the best safari available. With the best guide, ever!
We have just come home to Denmark after a wonderful tour in Kenya. John, our guide, picket us up in Nairobi Airport and was our best friend for the next 6 days, and Beacon Safari had found a perfect place for us to relax for one week after, and then Kenneth, another guide from Beacon Safari, came all the way to that place just to take us safely to the airport – a 2 ½ hours’ drive.
We had a private thing to do in the middle of the safariweek, and Beacon Safari arranged it, so there was time for that also.
Unfortunately, we had to change our planes twice – from March to Maj, and then again from Maj to November, and all that time I had a pleasant mail correspondence with Robert, and during the time, it was as if we became friends.
I can highly reccomend Beacon Safari! We will never forget the expertice and kindness we met during the time we were in contact before the trip, and during the week on safari with our guide.

Best time ever!
We are finished our safari at Masai Mara... Beacon Safari was really really great! I wrote to the owner many times and always get a quickly and generous answer... the arrangments, the hotel, the car, the food and the places was amazing, but maybe the best was the guide! His name is Anthony and we couldn't expect nothing better! All was perfect because him!
If we could came back to Kenya, we definitly call him!

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....
Charlie & Ange.

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.

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.

Better than we could have ever imagined
We came across Beacon safaris while going through the Safaribookings website and decided to use them based on the multiple positive reviews the company had. I'm very glad we did. From the first email I sent, Robert was very responsive and very very helpful. It was our first trip to Kenya so we were very appreciative of his guidance and recommendations. All we had to then do was finalise and provide the confirmation and Robert organised everything for us. When we arrived in Kenya we were met by our safari guide John. It is very important that you have a good guide and John is one of the best. His manner, his knowledge and his humour were brilliant and our safari was made so much better because of him. All in all I highly recommend Beacon Safaris if you are thinking of visiting Kenya and I can guarantee that you will get excellent service. We loved it so much that we are already planning our next trip their and will be asking specifically for John as our guide.

Our safari adventure was a great memory maker for my husband and I.
I would recommend Safari Bookings to my friends. While booking our reservations Roberts kept us well informed and answered any questions we had promptly. Our driver John was prompt, friendly and courteous He gave his best to give us a great safari, which he did. The Sopa Lodge was a quiet, beautiful, out of the was place with staff who were ready to accommodate us with our every need. The safari was everything I hoped for. It was amazing being able to watch the wildebeests cross the Mara River, the big five and all the other animals roam the beautiful African country. The only animal we were unable to spot was a rhino, otherwise we were able to see all the wonderful animals which Africa has to amaze us with. Thanks for helping us to make lifetime memories.

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 ... ?

Amazing 10-Day Magical Kenya Highlights Safari
Booked with Beacon after reading all the reviews. Robert responds very quickly, usually within a few hours, even during the weekend. He was extremely helpful and we enjoyed a perfect organisation of the whole safari trip. So lucky we had John as our driver/guide. He is an amazing driver/guide and we enjoyed his sense of humor as well. On the third day, we had seen already the Big Five. This safari trip was the best I have already experienced. Kenya is truly an amazing country. Thank you Robert and John!!!

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.
