Tanzania private safari Tour 5 days
We booked a 5 days private safari trip at the last moment. In one night the company organized everything, they are very professional. The car was very good. We had an excellent cook and guide. We saw a lot of animals and the guide explained the story of Tanzania.
It was a lodge and camping tour. For the camping in ngorongoto we advice you to take warm clothes as night is cold.
We recommend this company for safari tour. They are well organized, very kind and available.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Maren McBride
The government roads were impassable because of all the rain and the subsequent mud. The Masai people are amazing in their own right, but they blocked and then "taxed" us at EVERY turn to get through their land so we could get to our camp. It felt a little sketchy after a while and made me nervous about getting into where we were staying and especially getting out of the Masai Mara at the conclusion of the safari.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Carlos Andres Solis V
I like the fact that the reserve has no fences so the animals roam freely, the wildlife seems to be in good health and is abundant, so you can see almost all the animals you are willing to see. I came back home only missing rhinos.

A trip of a lifetime...worth every penny.
We had a most pleasurable 6 day Safari experience with Beacon Safaris. Beacon Safaris was easy to work with and worked out an itinerary to suit our individual needs. Robert was quick to respond and took away any unease we might have felt booking such a vacation from such a distance. Our accommodations were comfortable and offered conveniences we had not expected. The food at each of our accommodation spots was satisfactory. The variety and quality of the food varied with each accommodation destination with some being better quality than others. At each destination, the service staff were outstanding. Our guide/driver Kennedy was friendly, knowledgeable and fun to be with for the duration of the trip. We had the chance to view each and every animal we had named to Kennedy that we wished to see. The scenery, the animals and the people of Kenya will always be memorable.

My experience was ideal.
We had a wonderful experience. There were three of us in the party. Our driver was experienced, knowledgable, professional, and friendly. The safari was booked through Buymore Safari. They were willing to work with my pick up and drop off in different locations with no issue. They made sure we were well taken care of. We stayed at Fisi Camp. This is a 10 tent camp with very personable owners who keep the camp small so that the bush feel is maintained. I loved it. The food was good, the tents and beds were comfortable, and the overall service was perfect for what we were doing. There are never any guarantees when it comes to the wildlife, but our driver did his best to give us the best experience possible in our wildlife finding and viewing. We got lucky with the migration timing, and the sight of wildebeests and zebras dotting the land for miles was awesome.

One of my best experiences in life
Kenya was amazing from day 1 until the end, and of course the visit to Masai Mara was the highest point of my trip. Everything was well organized, the camp was better than expected, clean tents, private bathroom, good food and very friendly staff.
I was lucky enough to see the begginning of the migration and that was superb! During my 4 days in Mara I had two guides and both of them were nice, helpful and friendly, stopping for pictures and activelly searching for animals.

Lifetime experiece to see the wild animals so close in their natural habitat!
The land of natural wonders.
I did a 4 day safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro and was able to spot all the animals very close except rhino. But is understandable that due to illegal poaching their numbers have been significantly reduced and according to our guide there were just 10-20 Rhinos left in the area. As they are also shy creatures, we were just able to witness one sleeping in the grass. Apart from that, we crossed numerous pride of linos, herds of elephants, crash of hippos, cape buffaloes and a couple of leopards.
If you ever think of a safari trip, Serengeti is a must!

beautiful trip
Peter was our first contact and kept a close eye all along, greatly appreciated. Did Kilimanjaro 1 day climb with guide Tibit, a very good guide and the 6 days 5 nights to Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and enjoyed every minutes if it. Our guide Jackson was knowledgeable, funny and delightful. Saw all animals, visited a Maasai village. Lunches were very good and dinners always accompanied with a recap of the day with planning for the next one. Transportation was very good. Accommodations were good with a plus for Kilimanjaro Wonders Hotel and Tukaone camps. Very nice and friendly staff at Octogone Lodge. Overall a wonderful experience. A really good group. Thanks to all!!!!

High quality and supportive staff
Geophery worked with us to schedule and customize our safari to Amboseli and Tsavo West, customizing it to end at Mtito Andei train station so we could continue on to Mombasa at the conclusion of the tour. Julius, our driver, was sharp eyed and helpful. We had a little cabin in Amboseli and a nice room at Tuskers Lodge in Tsavo West. kenan Tours is about the best bang for the buck in Kenya...

Incredible adventure!
It was my first safari! I very like animals and always wanted to visit famous Tanzanian parks. Although the trip was definetely not hakuna matata-style, it was GREAT! Mudy was a good organiser. He wasn't too intrusive and didn't make me to take decision and pay as soon as possible. Instead he answered ALL my numerous questions. When I arrived, he took me from the airport and explained a lot of things regarding Tanzania and safari.
For the first day in Tarangire we had 7 people in the car + guide, but it was OK since the car is very big. After Tarangire 2 people left, and for the rest of the trip we were 5 + guide and cook. The first night was in the campsite near the lake Manyara and it was a great place! We had small houses instead of tents and a majestic view of the lake. The rest 2 nights were in tents. Hot water was only in Ngorongoro, where the weather was cold like in my native country:D The food was great, everyday we felt like in restaurant! Tents were quite good, only sleeping bags were a bit cold. But Mudy awared me that I should take a warm jacket. I did so and was happy. The hardest night was the second one, which we spent in Serengeti, because we got into rain and I got some cold. Plus there was a hyena, wandering around our camp and it was quite scary to sleep, but now I understand that it was so adventurous! True joining with nature!:D
And of course, all the animals were just amazing!!! Huge thanks to our guide Rashid, who found all of them and told so much to us about them! In Tarangire we have seen 3 herds of elephants, numerous cute youngs and one very old clever female. In Serengeri we have seen my favorite cheetahs - a huge family of 1 female with 5 children. And of course lions were just our stars! We have seen them every day. In Serengeti we've seen 4 young lions, which were eating zebra. Next morning we woke up before the sunrise and managed to see a huge pride of 10+ females and one male, tearing apart poor wildebeest. We were just 10 meters away from them It was unspeakably scary and awesome! I did amazing photos!!! Thanks everyone for organizing my safari!
