Exceed Expectations
The service was exceptional from the very beginning. I got prompt response after initial contact and all subsequent correspondence were very cordial, helpful, prompt and professional. The safari itself was lots of fun and we had an enlightened patient guide and cautious driver in one person, Mr Omari. He was very experience and competent with good awareness of the local cultures, the various animals and the environment. Accommodations in all three locations were perfect with good food to boost. We were a family of 5 and the children had a blast. Beacon took care of all logistics from the moment we exited the airport to departure out AF Nairobi.

Kenya Unveiled - at the heart of the people and wildlife
You know when you have made the right decision when your 12 and 14 year old sons on day 2 say to you..."mum this is the best holiday ever!!!" This was in the middle of the Masai Mara up close and personal with the raw wildlife! Our guide Kenneth from Beacon Safaris was fantastic! From the moment we met him at Nariobi Airport and he gave us a welcoming friendly big smile I knew we were in good hands. Not only did we feel safe throughout the whole 7 day safari but Kenneth was a fountain of knowledge and information which really enriched our experience. We chose the Kenyan Premier Safari - 6 nights across 3 of the best Safari Parks in Kenya including the Masai Mara, Lake Nakura and Amboselli - a great mix of differences between the parks and the variety of animals plus a great way to really see the diversity of the Kenyan countryside from dry plains to wet hills to the many lakes. For our family this was a brilliant, raw and non-manufactured or commerical safari experience, one we will never forget!!! Thankyou Beacon Safaris and Kenneth our guide for taking us on this great adventure - we were blown away!

Wonderful Safari - Experience of a lifetime
We went on a four day safari of Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru with Beacons Safari. From the beginning, our experience of Beacons Safari has been outstanding. Responses to our emails by Robert were always extremely quick, professional and courteous. He showed great flexibility e.g. greeting and picking us from airport at the early hours of 3.30AM. But the main reason that our Safari was exciting, interesting, fun, informative and an unforgettable experience was our guide John. John was very knowledgeable, very enthusiastic, very keen (and one with a fantastic eye sight!) - making sure that we see, hear and experience the beautiful wildlife of Kenya! We saw the Big Fives, the Cheetahs, the Crocodiles and also the fabulous Wildebeests Migration – the Mara river crossings! Thanks John!! All our logistics and accommodations by Beacons were just perfect – making our Safari truly memorable – the best ever holidays for my family and I.

3 Day Taste of Masai Mara Safarie
Greetings. I wanted to give a big shout out to Beacon Safaris and our awesome guide John Jackson. We were 2 ladies traveling alone from the USA. Every part of the safari exceeded our expectations. From Robert helping book & select our tour to John being a very fun and an informative guide. We felt 100% satisfied with our accommodations, 100% safe and 100% over joyed with every minute we spent in the Masai. John suggested for us to take the hot air balloon ride, it was the pentacle of our trip!! Very few times do I want to return to a vacation spot....but Kenya and all its beauty & lovely people make me want to plan another trip as soon as I can!!! Blessing to all at Beacon Safaris!

Great first safari experience thanks to Beacon Safaris and specially to John, our guide!
I discovered this company in safarybookings.com, I booked with them because of the good reviews I read, and I'm so happy I did it. Since the first email, Robert perfectly adapted the 4 day Massai Mara - Lake Nakuru safari to our needs and acted all the time in a really professional way. And when we arrived we were so lucky to have John as a guide, friendly, informative and so skilled! It was amazing his knwoledge of the parks and the animals, when we asked him to find some animal he always managed to do it, and the best moment was when he took us to the place where we were going to see the great wildeebeest migration crossing the Mara river... We couldn''t know how, he already knew the place were the animals were going to cross, and we were the first ones in the spot, in the best place to see it and take photos...increcible! A experience we won't forget, and we are sure it would not have been the same without John. Thank you Beacon Safaris!

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.

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!!!

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 ... ?

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.
