Generally good
Everything is good we saw lots of diferentes kinds of animel. Btw there is a problem of explanation of the fee of restaurant service. It will be better if the restaurant told us what is not included first.

+ Everything went according to plan, very reliable
+ Great selection of lodges
+ Clean and tidy vehicle (especially in comparison to some others we saw)
- With the safari description guaranteeing the encounter with all of the big five, our expectations were extremely high and we did end up quite disappointed after not having seen all promised animals. We would recommend some changes to the safari description!

they provide the best service even some problems happened.next time please organised best to avoid.
we think this safari tour can provide the best arragements for us according our requests. and can communicate us very quickly.but some problems should avoid next time.one is the conflict between the booking domestic flight time and our departure time to Seychelles for the last day. another is the Enkorok Mara Camp booking for us is short of water for 2 days and we can not bear it for 2 days without taking a shower. however they changed a camp finally.

Great Safari
Great communication before our arrival. During safari the communication with our guide was sometimes difficult, he was more calling with the phone than talking to us. On questions we asked him, he gave us short and not very informative answers.
The accomodations were very good. Perfect hotels with great food.
During the whole tour we felt very secure. Good driver.

2 day tour in Amboseli
We had a 2 days tour in amboseli from Nairobi. the tour was really nice and everything that was promised when we booked. we managed to see a lot of animals and our driver was very knowledgeable (John).
Don't underestimate the drive when you go there from Nairobi, it's pretty long especially if you arrive back in Nairobi around 5-6pm when the trafic is crazy. The Lodge where we stayed was amazing, Kibo Safari Camp (we enjoyed a lot the staff and the swimming pool).

Safe and Competent Guide
The safari company answered our questions before arrival quickly and throughly. Our guide Ken was extremely knowledgable and an expert on the area. He asked us our expectations and was able to deliver a great safari experience.

Awesome Kenyan safari experience
We had a private customized 9-day Kenyan safari starting in the last week of June . Visited Samburu, Ol Pajeta, Aberdares, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara. Accomodation (in tented camps & lodges) and vehicle (4 x 4 with hatch top) were good.(excepting some minor house-keeping issues at Ashnil Mara). We are deeply appreciative of Mr. Robert(who communicated and co-ordinated the itinerary efficiently) and especially to our guide cum-driver-- Mr. Anthony Gitau (who was knowledgeable, lively, cheerful, prompt, adaptive and skillful) for giving us an awesome , safe and enjoyable trip and helping us to see the beauty of Africa at it's best. We were fortunate to witness the wilderbeest migration and crossing of the Mara river, the Big Five and a host of other birds and animals thanks to Anthony's sharp and swift tracking skills. We highly recommend Beacon safaris.

tour was successful due to Robert professionalism & David as very good guide making all efforts
Communications - Robert was prompt though occasionally had to remind about changed itinerary & dates.
Commercial Dealing - Professional & fair .
Accommodation - All accommodations were as per commitment as per expectations . For Arc lodge ; rooms could have been close to observation deck .
Vehicle - Could have been more comfortable with adjustable seats & good upholstery.
Guide - David is good driver . Makes all efforts . Disciplined. Has knowledge about animals , birds .
Overall Safari tour was up to expectation except that we did not get chance to see a leopard though David made efforts .
While planning tour to Kenya ; one may avoid going Lake Nakaru . One must take tour at Lake Naivasha .
Honest and reliable safari operator
Communications with Robert over emails were fast. He patiently answered our many queries and prepared a few detailed itineraries for our selection. As for deposit, he assured us that it was usual practice to place deposit via bank transfer. We attempted with a token amount first, and when it was successfully transferred we made the remaining deposit. The remainig amount was paid in cash to Robert, who personally met us on the morning of our safari trip. The guide assigned to us, Josh, is knowledgeable about animals and has a keen eye to help us spot the animals. We felt comfortable with him throughout the whole 4-day trip.
