Super-friendly, reliable, flexible and customer-orientated, from 1st email to drop-off after safari
We (mother and daughter) went on a private safari from Nairobi to Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli.
We chose to travel with Beacon Safaris because of their brilliant reviews, the proposed accommodations and the good value for money for the trip.
We must say that we are incredibly happy with our choice. The communication with Robert was always very smooth, and our guide Carlos was just wonderful! He worked tirelessly, navigating the roads and making sure that we got to see all the wonders that Kenyan wildlife has on offer. He was very flexible to accommodate our interests and always made sure that we were safe.
He is very knowledgeable, and he made us feel very much at ease during the entire trip; talking and joking when the mood was right, but also comfortable silences that allowed us to nap or just marvel at the Kenyan countryside passing by, when we were tired.
We felt very safe in his hands, and felt very sad to say goodbye in Nairobi.
We hope that we can return again one day, and we would then definitively choose Beacon Safaris again, and request to travel with Carlos!
Thank you so much for everything!

Most memorable Safari with Anthony!
I’m glad that I came across Beacon Safaris, just right in time, when I had almost confirmed our trip with another agency. But we decided to go with Beacon because of the number of great reviews and the affordability of their packages.
We were in touch with Mr Robert, who was extremely quick and clear in answering our questions and also gave us a discount. He was always available on WhatsApp to help us.
Ours was a private tour on a humongous Land Cruiser, just for the two of us guided by Mr Anthony.
Everything went well right from the beginning until the very end of dropping us back to our hotel in Nairobi.
Now coming to the most important part, our guide Anthony. A guide can make or break your trip and Anthony made sure that we had a great time throughout. He was always there for us, just like a good friend and took us carefully only to clean and safe pitstops on our way to the parks. Right from his friendly nature, great driving skills, punctuality and extensive knowledge about wildlife, to his passion for telling the world about his country, he ticks all the boxes! He made sure that we got to see and click pictures of all the animals in all the places. We personally loved Masai Mara and Amboseli very much! Though Nakuru is one of the most visited places, you might not see as many animals as you would expect. During our entire trip, all the accommodations were just too good with great vegetarians food options too. We totally recommend Beacon and Mr Anthony. Just go for them with no second thoughts!

One of the best tour operators in Nairobi
I had booked a personalised 6N/7D photo tour of Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli National Park in Kenya with Beacon Safaries. Robert was very responsive and he answered all my queries. He took extra pains to make the van spacious by taking out the seats of the van for my eye level shots as per my desire.
The Guide cum Driver, Patrick was an amazing human being, very humble and had excellent knowledge of the parks and the fauna.
All the stay arranged by Robert were very comfortable and clean. Meals served were also very tasty. The airport pickup and drop was also included in my package by Robert which was icing on the cake. Last day in stay in Nairobi was also made very pleasant by Patrick, recommending some of the great pubs.
Overall this bucket list tour of mine was made highly memorable by Beacon Safaries. I highly recommend to hire their services for the Safari tours in Kenya. 😇

Go on Safari with Anthony from Beacon
We love Anthony!! we have had the very best experience with Beacon safaris. Anthony picked us up right on time and we drove all the way to the Massai Mara. The car was very comfortable and Anthony is very safe and excellent driver. Our itinerary was massai Mara national Park, Amboseli National park and Lake Nakuru national Park. We stayed in wonderful hotels with breathtaking views which was just amazing. Anthony made sure we saw all big five and much, much more. He’s very smart and experienced and told us all about the animals what we wanted to know. We found out he was very well-connected to the other guides so whenever there was an animal spotted, they talk with walkie-talkies to each other, and Anthony brought us there to see the animals. My brother and my soon to be sister-in-law got engaged in the Massai Mara and Anthony organized some flowers on the bed in the hotel for them which was very kind. We have had truly the best experience with beacon, and especially with Anthony and we are so very lucky to have had the time of our lives with him. Make sure to book with Beacon Safari and don’t forget a good tip.
Thanks again and we can’t recommend this experience enough .

Best experience with Beacon Safaris!
Our Safari experience was amazing! The booking process was very smooth and Robert answered all our questions very fast. We chose 6 days/5 nights Safari - 2 days Masai Mara, 1 day Lake Nakuru and 2 days Amboseli. Our guide was Daniel, very friendly with perfect driving skills and huge knowledge about wild animals. He tried his best that we would see Big 5 and take the best pictures. Also, the accommodation was great with swimming pools, clean rooms, tasty food and beautiful landscapes. We are very thankful to Daniel and this Safari company for the best experience of our lives.

The whole schedule and experience is very good!
The whole trip was great! There were some small problems in communication because of the poor level of English. But our guide was very patient and professional and showed us a lot of animals!

Amazing 4-day Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara Adventure
We recently went on the most exhilarating 4 day safari organised by Beacon Safari. It was a dream come true! The booking process and email correspondence with Robert was super smooth and friendly and our guide, Daniel, was great and ensured that every moment was filled with excitement and wonder. From the breathtaking landscapes of Lake Nakuru to the majestic wildlife of the Masai Mara, every day was an adventure.
Daniel's knowledge and passion for wildlife was evident as we spotted the Big 5 and so much more! His expertise truly enhanced our experience and made each game drive unforgettable. But we still have to come back for the ostrich :)
The accommodation at Sopa Lodges was first class and the staff were extremely friendly, providing comfort and luxury in the middle of the wilderness. Overall, this safari exceeded all expectations and left us with fond memories and a desire to return. If you're looking for an unforgettable safari experience, look no further than this incredible trip with Beacon Safari and Daniel as your guide!

Easy to deal with and very accommodating.
Our guide Anthony made this experience memorable. He was a true professional, very knowledgeable and highly respected by his peers. The highlights are too numerous to mention but include seeing 4 lions (2 males and 2 females) and 3 cubs on a fresh kill, lionesses suckling their young, baby elephants play fighting and black and white rhinos.
