Great experience, highly recommend!
Initial communication with Robert at Beacon Safaris was very good. He accommodated all our requests prior to booking. However, it took a few emails literally 6 days before we travelled to confirm the payment balance and pick up from our hotel. We were so relieved to see Peter our tour guide in reception waiting for us! Peter was great, super knowledgeable and really friendly. He went out of his way to ensure we had the best safari experience…and we did! We saw lions, a cheetah enjoying its catch and lots of rhinos, giraffes, elephants, hippos and zebra. As we were suffering badly from a stomach bug, he ensured we were comfortable and had plenty of water and washroom stops. It was such a great personal service, I wouldn’t hesitate to use Beacon Safaris again

Thank you for the great week that we spent
We organized our safari trip quickly and easily. Robert responded to all our questions, and we booked the Bacon Safari based on its price, trip organization, and attitude.
But mostly, we are very pleased with our guide, Mambo (Anthony).
He knows national parks by heart. He spots the right locations for taking great pictures, and thanks to him, we were able to see everything we wanted, including hunting cats.
Our time was well spent, and we enjoyed all the Sopa lodges for our accommodation.

Perfect organization, very good driver - guide Ken
We have spent one week in Kenya on the safaris organized by Beacon Safaris. Everything went very well. We visited Mt. Kenya national park, Ol Pejeta Conservation, Lake Namuru, Masai Mara and Lake Naivasha. We have seen a lot of animals including lions mainly due to our driver Ken. His driving skills in sometimes difficult conditions were the object of our admiration. Always helpful and friendly. Thank you very much for the exiting exerience.

Ken is the BEST! Amazing experience!
6 of us took the taste of Kenya 7 day Safari with Ken! Please request him if you want joy, enthusiasm, knowledge and a great driver. We were in Masai Mara, lake Nakuru, lake naivsha and lake Amboseli. All are unique and interesting. Great animal sittings at all places. At lake naivsha we did the hells gate biking and trail walk. Both were wonderful. Animals right up close and beautiful scenery. It was a welcome change. All the drives Ken took care of us and make sure we had the perfect angle to photos and all the time we needed to soak in the Majesty of Kenya. Hotels were nice and the food was good, something for everyone!

Professional and went beyond to give us the best vacation we have ever had
Robert helped us with all the questions we had prior to arriving in Nairobi. In Nairobi Bonnie met us at the airport and gave us an extraordinary experience where he asked us what we wanted as we went through the parks and saw the big 5 and much more. It felt very safe and relaxed from the first minute in Kenya

Do it. it‘s the best you can get!
Perfect Support in planning and even with our Visa troubles. Many thanks to Robert for that.
Also the Tour was perfectly organised and we had wonderful Lodges. Daniel, our Guide was very engaged and got the best out of our trip. He did a great job. He also listened to our wishes and showed us Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru National Parks.
We do recommend Beacon Safaris to any persons interested in an exciting Safari with excellent Organisation.
This flexibility, the professional support the experience and the affordable price are only some points why we would come back again and book with Beacon Safaris.
Thank you for an unforgettable adventure.

Perfectly Customized Safari and a Fantastic Driver!!
We found Robert and Beacon Safaris through SafariBookings. Based on my initial inputs he sent us a proposed itinerary. We went back and forth for a couple months as we worked out the details for the start date, length of stay, hotels, and parks to visit. Robert did a great job being a single point of contact, answering all my questions, and arranging all the details.
We ended up going with a seven day safari for a family of five to include a 6 year old, 3 year old, and a 1 year old. Overall it was a fantastic and unforgettable experience.
Ken picked us up from our hotel near the airport and was a genuinely hospitable host for the reminder of our safari. He went out of his way to ensure the kids had a great time and could see out of the top which they absolutely loved (and so did we because we didnt have to hold them up).
Highly recommend the 4x4 land cruiser as the little ones had plenty of room to bouce/climb around, see out the windows if they want to sit, they can see out of the top to get a much better view of the animals, and easily nap on the longer car rides between parks.
We spent two days in three differnt parks and saw everything we could have ever of wished for from entire prides of lions to herds of elephants and everything in between.
Again, wonderful experience for our entire young family. Sopa hotel hospitality was great, our driver and wildlife extraordinaire Ken is the best host there is (multiple other drivers and staff went out of their way to tell us), and we are all sad to leave (but pretty exhausted as well).
Lastly, we selected to pay with credit card for added security and Robert sent us Pesapal links to my email. We paid 40% up from and 60% just before we arrived. No issues whatsoever.
If you are debating which company to chose for your safari, go with Beacon Safaris. Promise you wont regret it.
Thank you Robert and huge thank you to Ken for taking such great care of us!!!! You guys are the best.

Amazing safari experience
We had an amazing safari with Beacon Safaris!
Thank to Robert for quick responses and recommendations. And especially we would like to thank our guide Daniel for professional guiding and driving, he was always trying to show us the best in Masai mara.
Land cruiser 4*4 was comfortable enough and I'm sure it's much more better than van during rainy season in may. Although rain was only once at night.
Ashnil mara camp is perfect - the staff was polite and welcoming, location inside the park is very convenient for safari and food was very good.
The price for our safari was quite reasonable.
We are totally satisfied with the trip, we enjoyed our vacations in Masai mara very much!

Fantastic Safari with Beacon!
We took a 6 day safari through Beacon Safaris in March of 2023. We visited Masai Mara, Nakuru, and Amboseli National Parks. Overall, the safari was well organized and Beacon Safaris maintained excellent communication with us. They were willing to customize our tour to meet exactly what we were hoping for. Our driver, Daniel, was engaging and knowledgeable about the animals we saw. We saw many different varieties of animals and Daniel always positioned us in a great spot for viewing and allowed the animals to travel past our Land Cruiser. We chose the luxury tent option and the camps chosen by Beacon were excellent, especially Entim Mara! This safari exceeded our expectations and we certainly can’t wait to book another safari through Beacon Safaris.

A Chance of a life time trip!
If I could give 10 stars, I would. Beacon Safari is an excellent company that takes every measure to provide safety, adventure, excellent staffing and relaxation. The delux tents offered a high quality bed and personal bathroom with a shower included. One of the highlights was sitting on the front porch watching Mt. Kilamajoro in the background while the monkeys and boboons explore all around my husband and I. Shout out to THEE BEST safari driver/host DANIEL! From the on time pick up at our hotel in Nairobi, to the drop off at the camp site in Mansai, to the masterful hunt for wildlife in the safari, to the experinced driving 5 hours back to our hotel- Daniel was always there for us. Thank you so much Daniel for your personal touch! Daniel was kind, thoughtful, reliable, flexible and extrememly knowledgeable. My family will be back!
