Reviews
Smooth! The crew was very attentive and present!
Fantastic experience! My wife and I reviewed many available options and ultimately decided on the "10 Days Incredible Midrange Kenya & Tanzania combined wildlife safari."
We took it as a private tour (just the two of us and our guide), and it was a home run.
Throughout the trip, we visited Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and Amboseli park. We saw Rhinos, Giraffes, Zebras, Pumbas, Hippos, Gazelles, Lions, Cheetahs, Ostriches, Buffaloes, Leopards, Baboons, Elands, Elephants, Hyenas, Vervet Monkeys, and even a Monitor Lizard. We literally saw everything we had hoped to see and many things numerous times.
While we were in Kenya, Eric was our guide, and he was awesome. He met us at the airport, took us to our nearby hotel for a day of rest (much needed after the long flights), and was with us throughout our time, providing insight, background, and information about the parks and animals. When we did not understand something, he clarified it in terms that we understood. Additionally, he is highly skilled at driving through the rough terrain of the parks (lots of soft, deep mud), so we never lost time due to being stuck in the mud, like many others did.
When we got to the Tanzania border, we met up with Godffrey, who took care of us during our times in the parks there. Like Jacob, he was a skilled driver and had a knack for finding the elusive animals (including the Leopard).
Both George and Jacob spoke English well, and they were there with us at each border crossing (from Kenya to Tanzania, then back to Kenya) to make sure things went smoothly. (Note: make sure you have your yellow International Vaccine Card that shows you've been vaccinated for Yellow Fever.)
For accommodations, we stayed in midrange tents (except the first hotel and the Rhino Lodge atop the rim of Ngorongoro Crater), and the tents were all comfortable with contained bathrooms that had hot/cold water. The tents ARE in the parks, so wildlife is all around, in a few, travel to/from your tents is only authorized with a Maasai warrior as your escort (they're awesome).
As a general comment, I'll say you should be prepared to be tired at the end of each day. This was a surprise to me, but something about the bouncing around in the safari vehicle all day is just tiring. Sounds ridiculous, but it's true.
Overall, the safari was pretty close to perfect. I cannot think of anything I'd change, and I hope to do it again in the future!

Thank you Kelvin, Richard and Beast Spoor.
We spent 7 days in Masai Mara, Nakuru, and Amboseli with our guide Richard. It was an incredible experience. Richard was extremely profesional, and an amazing driver. His best skill was getting us into the perfect spot to see the animals, all while making sure to respect their space and not getting in their way.
I would highly recommend for anyone who wants to get an authentic animal experience and see how they truly interact with each other in nature.

Excellent service.
I just completed my 10 day Budget Kenya - Tanzania Wild Safari with a Hot Air Ballon Safari add on with Beast Spoor Safaris.
I can’t express well enough how happy I am with all the services that Beast Spoor Safaris provided me. Right at the beginning of my inquiry, they were very prompt in answering all my questions . The brochures and proposed Safari schedule were very clear and very detailed with complete pictures and descriptions. Above all, they were all fulfilled and exceeded all of my expectations at the end.
The budget accommodations were all comfortable and adequate plus they gave me some free upgrade surprises too which was really nice.
The food were delicious and nutritious and gave me energy that I need to enjoy all my Safaris. The chef/cook at each venue were all very accommodating to special dietary requirements ( I don’t have one but the other people I am travelling with had some). They also provide bottled drinking water all throughout the travel and Safaris.
The staff who works in each venues were all very friendly and they smile a lot too. Please be generous with them, they all work hard and long hours.
About the animals and events that happened during our game drive (Hyena chasing a Wilder-beast and many more) were spectacular. All the National Parks in Kenya and Tanzania are teeming with many many wild life. Plus the landscape here are very special and unique.
Regarding my itinerary, it was excellent. I was joined with other people with some shorter and longer itineraries, but their network made all the transitions very smooth and well organized. Even at the border, the have reps to help me through the process while I am at the border (by the way don’t forget to bring proof of your Yellow Fever Vaccination, they will ask for it at the border. I got a scanned copy saved on my phone).
But regarding the Safari drive itself , it’s was rough but so much fun. Our pop up roof van was a 4x4 (jeep in Tanzania) but that thing went through mud, rivers of water, moon crater of dirt road - but those are all part of the fun experience of the Safaris here. But in fairness, when some of the tourist requests for the driver to slow down - all the drivers obliged.
But above all, the one stands out the most is that Kelvin at Beast Spoor Safaris , he would send me a text message from time to time to check up on me … that is very rare these days and quite impressive to provide that extra service specially for a solo traveler like me.
Also, their driver Duke , was also excellent. He was professional, on time and drives very safe on the road. Beast Spoor Safaris also provided me with free airport - hotel transfers , outside of my 10 day itinerary which I thought was very generous and a nice extra bonus.
I would rate this company , excellent, 10 of 10 and 5 star rating. I would not hesitate to give them recommendations and referrals and would definitely use them again in the future.
Congratulations to the team of Beast Spoor Safaris !

What an experience! Kudos Beast Spoor!
BEAST SPOOR SAFARIS: This I would call the most convenient reliable, accomodating, flexible travel agency I have travelled with till date. In short "IT IS THE BEST" Mr Kelvin was extremely approachable and helped in my trip planning which had its own hurdles.
I moved from Jinja to Nairobi by Panther travels. The bus got late by whopping 5hrs. Mr Kelvin arranged transport which picked us up mid way and married up with our Safari team.
Our tour Guide Mr Moses was a cool calm guy, a lovely cross-country driver.
Accommodation: The accommodation gives a true feel of living in the midst of mother nature, with tasty food and 24 hrs hot water.
Staff: All the staff in the team are very friendly and approachable.
The safari itself: With a well connected radio network there is minimal of chances of missing a sight. The lions with pubs, a hippo fight. Our team was the happiest as we had witnessed more than what we had expected.
Masai Village: The visit to a Masai village was a experience of its own, we danced and enjoyed in their cultural attire.
KUDOS to Beast Spoor Safaris... It is the best team to enjoy the nature and animals with!

Beast Spoor Safaris is the best!!
Bottom line: Excellent overall experience – would highly recommend Beast Spoor Safaris to my friends and family – in fact, I already have done so for friends thinking to visiting!
Have recently returned from our week-long safari, I have nothing but the highest praises for the entire Beast Spoor Safaris experience. Working with Linda to plan our trip was a comfortable and confidence inducing effort. I had been to Kenya 31 years earlier and was excited to take family members back to experience the grandeur of Kenya for themselves. Based on my prior experience, I had specific things I wanted to accomplish. Linda helped structure the trip so it was efficient and covered the areas I was most interested in visiting, and book accommodations that were in line with our budget, style and expectations. She was knowledgeable and responded to all my inquiries and changes very promptly and with great customer service.
Based on my prior visit, many (31) years ago, I knew the importance of working with a reputable tour company, especially one that had “in field” support from the head office and other vehicles in the parks. After doing my research, Beast Spoor Safaris seemed to fit the criteria.
We were picked from the airport and safely driven to our hotel and picked up the following morning right on time, taken to the office and thoroughly briefed.
Our tour started and from start to finish, we were all smiles enjoying every bit of our safari.
There were no inconveniences, no disappointments and I have to admit, I did feel proud for recommending Beast spoor safaris.
Peter was a very knowledgeable guide and found us EVERYTHING we wanted to see on our game list. He was flexible to fit in special requests we had and was resourceful to help accommodate some off the beaten path requests, like a custom fishing trip, stop at a Maasai school, a second trip to the Giraffe Centre in Nairobi to let us feed the giraffes (again), and a special dinner in Nairobi on our return.
Many, many thanks to Linda, Kelvin and Peter.

Exceeded our expectations! Amazing safari and value for money!!
Our experience with Beast Spoor Safaris exceeded our expectations on every level. Our experienced guide/driver, James, was incredible, top notch! We enjoyed learning from him, joking around, and sharing stories. Asante, Asante John! We spent 2 nights in the Maasai Mara at the Jambo Mara Safari Lodge and 1 night at Lake Nakuru Lodge- would highly recommend both, they were amazing. We booked with Linda and from the very beginning, communication and customer service was clear and timely. The Beast Spoor team was committed to making sure our trip was perfect. We are finished with the 4 day safari and have begun the second part of our trip- 3 nights at Diani Sea Resort. All arranged by Beast Spoor Safaris. Our trip has been incredible and I would highly recommend using this company for a Kenyan safari. If you’re lucky, James will be your guide/driver!

Professional and well knowledgeable
We (4 Spanish men ) searched the internet carefully for an organization that we could confidently estimate would make us a good offer for a 13-day safari in Kenya and Tanzania: (Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, Lake Manyara, Tarangire and Amboseli). We have had previous contact with several operators.
Kelvin from Beast Spoor Safaris made us an attractive and relatively affordable offer. It could also be adjusted to our wishes. Communication via WhatsApp was extremely fast. Kelvin arranges and decides immediately. We saw much more than we could have imagined beforehand. Many times the big 5 and beautiful other animals and birds in very different landscapes. The guides/drivers were very knowledgeable and correct. Nelson, our guide became our favorite, what a passion that man has.
We thought the camps we stayed in were fantastic.
In short, we enjoyed it immensely.

Amazing 10 day safari with exceptional guides
We had an amazing time on our Kenia safari! We visited Masai Mara National Reserve, Lake Nakuru National park and Amboseli National park. We saw so many animals and the scenery was gorgeous. All our budget accommodations were great and we were happy with the food too. Very good communication with Beast Spoor Safaris via email, they were happy to answer any questions. Our guide Eddy was great and he even organised a cake and song for my sister's birthday.
We really had a memorable safari. The Beast Spoor Safaris' expert guide helped me see the majestic African elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, rhinos, stunning giraffes and many other animals and birds. Booking with them made my safari wishlist fulfilled. I recommend this best company to anyone wishing to visit Kenya. And I hope to book with Beast Spoor Safaris for the best combined Kenya and Tanzania Safari package next time I visit Africa.

Amazing
I booked a Kenya and Tanzania combined safari (budget) with Beast Spoor Safaris. I was a little worried to begin with as I have never been to Africa before. Jack was very helpful, made me feel so much better months before the trip, up until the day it started.
Given that I was solo traveler, I was not even asked to pay twice as much like the other safari companies on the internet. All the same great price.
Kenya part of the safari was perfect. I loved every second of it.
All the staff involved were very friendly, the landscapes were to die for, the food was lovely, journeys from one park to another were as enjoyable.
I saw all big five and more...
As for my guide/driver Eric (in Kenya Part) ; he is one of the nicest, kindest persons I have ever had the privilege of meeting.
He is very professional, knowledgeable, very helpful and of course one of the best drivers I have seen. He went above and beyond to ensure I saw all big five. I will definitely ask for him to be my guide again when I get back...
I cannot wait to book my next African adventure next year or so and I definitely would go for Beast Spoor Safaris again.
Highly recommend it.

A once in a lifetime experience
Eric was our assigned driver for our safari starting in Masai Mara and ending in Amboseli. He was not only courteous, informative and professional, but went out of his way to ensure we were safe, comfortable and well taken care of. His knowledge on the flora and fauna was extremely extensive, he had an answer to all our questions! Eric ensured that we had the best views of the animals and stayed for as long as we needed to capture the best shots, whilst also ensuring we reached our next destination at the right time - not an easy task!
By the end of our trip we became firm friends and wouldn’t hesitate to ask for Eric personally, if we come back!
He took a great deal of care of the Land Cruiser, ensuring it was clean and well maintained. There was plenty of mineral water provided in the vehicle.
The camps themselves were very well equipped and clean, and the food was excellent throughout our stay. The whole safari experience was enhanced by Eric, and we ticked off more than the Big Five off our list. We would definitely use Beast Spoor Safaris in the future.
