Incredible Safari experience, 5 days 4 nights
My wife and I agreed that this was one of the best vacations we have ever had. The Sopa lodges were wonderful. Our Safari guide, Daniel was incredible. I called him the "Magic Man." First, he is a fantastic driver, navigating on roads that almost shouldn't be called roads. And his determination to find game was apparent when he veered off the dirt road, raced through tall grass and bushes to put us in the middle of a pride of lions. He made sure we saw the big 5. He even found a leopard in a tree, eating a Thompson Gazelle. We got to within 20 feet of the tree. The most amazing pictures. Daniel made the experience truly memorable.

Spectacular 3-day Masai Mara safari with Carlos at Beacon Safaris
CARLOS was our amazing guide on our 3-day safari in Masai Mara. We took his advice and started at 6:30am on the first day. By 7:30am we had seen a leopard, which is usually rare to spot. By 8:30am we had found a cheetah eating its prey and later followed it as it walked through the savanna. The day went by in a daze, as we spotted lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, gazelles, warthogs, baboons... Carlos was always at the right place at the right time and we lost count of the number of lion families we saw. The most amazing part was spending alone time with the lions, 2 to 3 meters from them, the land cruiser's engine off, with noone else around. Our 2nd day started with the unbelievable sight of a lion painstakingly dragging along a cow it had just killed, stopping every 5 or 6 meters to catch its breath. Carlos was enthusiastic and shared loads of interesting facts. We loved the Enkorok lodge and Robert's organization was absolutely perfect. We felt treated as VIPs and the whole experience was unforgettable. I would strongly recommend booking with Robert at Beacon Safaris and asking for Carlos as a guide, for their professionalism, sound advice, good communication and capacity to deliver beyond expectations.

2 day Amboseli Safari
Everything was perfect. Driver/ guide Daniel was very profesional during Safari. Accomodation in SOPA Lodges made possible by Beacon Safari was the best choice. I highly recommend this tour operator

professional and responsive tour operator that delivers well-organized, unforgettable tour
I recently had the pleasure of going on a safari trip in Kenya with Beacon Safaris, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! Despite planning my trip just four days before my flight, the company was incredibly responsive, answering my inquiries quickly and clearly while accommodating all my preferences.
Their service was exceptional. From the moment I landed, everything was handled smoothly, with my driver Danial providing unparalleled support throughout the journey. He went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable and worked tirelessly to secure the best spots for capturing stunning wildlife photos.
The value for money was excellent. The selected lodges were top-notch, offering a perfect combination of luxury and immersion in nature. The service at the lodges was equally impressive, making every moment enjoyable and stress-free.
Reliability was another strong point for Beacon Safaris. While one lodge was overbooked due to my last-minute booking, they quickly adjusted the itinerary and made it work seamlessly. Every other aspect of the trip went exactly as planned, from timely pick-ups to the organized game drives.
The highlight of the tour was, of course, the incredible wildlife encounters. The itinerary provided the perfect balance of relaxing moments and thrilling adventures, leaving me in awe of Kenya's natural beauty.
Beacon Safaris delivered a well-rounded, professionally managed safari experience that I will never forget. A big thank you to the team and especially to Danial for making this trip so special!
I will add some photos from my trip on my Instagram account @ali.almahari

Daniel is the best!
We had an incredible experience on our safari thanks to our guide, Daniel. He was absolutely excellent! From start to finish, he went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience. He made sure we saw a wide variety of animals, including some that are harder to spot, and his knowledge about the wildlife and environment was impressive.
Not only was he a safe and skilled driver, but he was also flexible with our schedule, accommodating our requests and making adjustments to enhance our experience. His professionalism, attention to detail, and enthusiasm truly made this safari unforgettable. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch guide!
We couldn’t have asked for a better guide, and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-tier safari experience. Thank you for making our trip so memorable!
Asante Sana, Daniel. You are the best! :-)

Amazing memories
I whole heartedly recommend Beacon Safaris: we made an a la carte itinerary and they were very accomodating and at a reasonable price. We visited 3 locations in Kenya (Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and Maasai Mara) and had an amazing experience in all of them. Our guide Carlos was very nice and gave us interesting insights on local wildlife. Thank you for these beautiful memories!

Absolutely Amazing Experience!
We had an absolute blast on our Safari trip with Beacon Safaris. Everything was smooth, we got picked up right on time at the location we shared ahead of the trip and from there our driver Yustas (spelling might be off) ensured everything went without a hitch!
We went to Hells Gate and did a biking Safari + hiking, ending the night with a boat ride on Lake Naivasha. The next day we went to Masai Mara where we got to see all the animals real close! Including lions, jaguars, cheetahs, buffalo, giraffes, etc... and came back to Nairobi 2 days later feeling more than satisfied. Cannot recommend enough! The lodging was very nice and all the meals provided were great too. But what really made the trip worth it was our driver. He was nice, fun and had sooo much knowledge about the animals that he shared with us throughout the trip. We really felt we could trust him and he did not disappoint. We will be back for more!
