Beacon Safaris gave us an excellent experience at Masai Mara with great accomodations and guiding
Anthony was our guide for the 3 day adventure in the Masai Mara. He made sure we were safe, comfortable and able to see the big 5 animal groups. He went out of his way to meet our individual needs and expectations. His degree of knowledge regarding the various animals in the park was superb. His networking skills enabled us to arrive just in time to see cheetahs on a hunt and lion cubs at play. We were very pleased with the accommodations for two nights at the Mara Sopa Lodge. The Masai décor, friendly service and African cuisine was great. We highly recommend this tour.

Just Perfect
We did 2 nights in the Masai Mara and 1 night in the Lake Nakuru, staying in the Sarova Lodges.
It was beyond our expectation.
First of all, Anthony our driver was great.
Uber friendly, smart, good driver and most importantly a perfect guide.
Always on the look out for rare animals, our game drives were magical, and a big part is thanks to Anthony. Finally he is very informed and could replied to all our questions about each animal.
About the area, MM is a must see, we saw 4/5 big fives (nobody in the hotel saw the leopard during our stay).
In LN we saw less animals, but when we did it was from closer than in the MM.
To conclude, I really recommend Beacon Safari and more particularly Anthony, for your upcoming Safari.
Enjoy!

This was an amazing and totally awesome and unforgettable experience
From my first inquiry, Robert was absolutely wonderful. Even when I changed the date, he was most accommodating. He was patient with waiting for my deposit until a secure portal was available. I simply could not have asked for better service. The safari itself was the best the four of us have ever been on. Eustus was by far an amazing guide. We saw the big five the first day. He spotted animals from such a long distance that to us it seemed humanly impossible, but time and time again he did it. It was an unforgettable time.

Amazing experience, excellent team, highly recommended!
My friend and I, being two girls, were very careful when organising our trip to Kenya. We were interested in a 3-day safari and reached out to Beacon Safaris because it was highly rated and offered interesting and well priced packages. To our pleasant surprise, they also turned out to be very fast to respond to our original query, and to all our follow-up questions.
Our guide and driver, John, was a real expert in the Safari experience and an excellent driver across the Masai Mara park, taking us to places where we were sure to see the most interesting sights. With his help, we managed to see tons of animals, including all the big five, lion cubs, baby elephants and baby giraffes! Very polite and fun, he was very keen to talk to us about the different animals we would see, their characteristics, habits and particularities, making our trip all the more interesting!
The accommodation was also excellent, with super-polite staff, really good facilities and meals. Its set up allowed for a real safari feel, given that the lights were out at 11pm, that we slept in highly catered tents and were guarded by Masai people.
Overall, Beacon Safaris has been an excellent choice for our safari, what has been an unforgettable experience which we are keen to repeat!

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.
