Reviews
The safari was magic, and our guide (Kenneth) has a lot of knowlegde, always smiling and helpful.
It was a wonderful holiday.
A lot of driving, but when we arrived at the park every mile was forgotten.
And all the magnificent animals.
Our guide (Kenneth) is a very nice, polite and smiling man.

Safari lived fully up to our expectations due to excellent guide Antony
The reservation process with Beacon Safaris went smoothly, feedback was swift and complete. The Toyota Landcruiser used for the safari was only one year old and well maintained.
The tented camps, where we stayed during the 7 day safari, were luxurious, clean and the food was good.
Our guide Antony was punctual, friendly, very knowledgeable and a safe driver.
We truly had a great safari and can heartily recommend him as well as Beacon Safaris.

Beyond our expectations!
My husband and I booked a safari trip, but also requested a few add ons. Robert did a great job organizing everything on our trip and came to greet us at the airport and say bye before we departed. Our driver Ashton was fabulous ... Always on time, informative, friendly, and even helped us sort out a banking issue. Had a great time and my next trip to Kenya will be handled by Beacon Safaris again and hopefully we'll get Ashton again.
Highly recommended!

Amazing Kenya Safari Experience
The trip was everything we expected and more. As a photographer I wanted to experience the true nature of Kenya and Beacon looked after everything to make our experience truly unique. Robert booked all our hotels and organized the trips and accommodations, he also made great recommendations for us on the trip. Johnny our driver was awesome and he always got us to the animals fast so we got to spot lions, leopards and everything else almost daily. He knew the park roads well and accommodated our needs at all times. I would definitely recommend Beacon for anyone considering a Safari with a trusted company. Also consider flying into some of the parks as the roads can be very long and are rough, a short flight from Maasai Mara back to Nairobi was well worth the extra costs.

Amazing knowledge, professionalism, service, and accommodations while viewing incredible animals.
I had a wonderful experience with Beacon Safari and have already recommended them to several close friends planning trips to Kenya/Tanzania. The staff, led by Robert, was very knowledgeable, professional and flexible with my schedule and interests. By very prompt emails, Robert worked with to me design a safari that fit my wishes for the trip and my budget. After some discussion, I ended up doing a private safari so that I could be sure to see and do exactly what I wanted. Josh, my guide on the safari, was very friendly and fun to be around and had an extensive knowledge of the animals in the Maasai Mara. He never rushed or pressured me and was very accommodating to what I wanted to see and do in the park. At my request, he took me to visit a Maasai tribe village which was incredibly interesting and not touristy like I expected. The mid-range priced lodge (Mara Sopa Lodge) I stayed in was also very nice. I was very surprised by how luxurious it was and it had great food, a pool, entertainment, etc. I really was so pleased with the entire experience and amazed by all the animals we were able to see in just a 3 day safari. My safari was during the migration so, we literally saw thousands of zebra, wildebeest, impala, water buffalo, etc. We also saw giraffes, lions, hippos, crocodiles. I was amazed by how close our Jeep got to the animals. It was a life changing experience.
Josh and Robert were two of the kindest and most fun people I met in Kenya. I cannot recommend Beacon Safaris more highly!

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!!!

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.

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.

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!

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.
