Vast information on all the animals, as well as on all the unbelievable birds in the vicinity. Our guide Marc kept us all interested, involving the children at all times where possible. We are going to miss the African bush and the experience, but we will be back.

Best Holiday so far!
Jambo!
We had an absolutely amazing experience in Kenya/Africa with Beacon Safaris.
We booked a 6-day safari tour with them for Masai Mara - Lake Nakuru - Amboseli. Organizing the trip with Robert was a breeze. No delays in response. Very courteous. He arranged a private tour for just me and my girlfriend and provided us with the required upgrades for a more comfortable and exciting experience which is exactly what we wanted. He upgraded our vehicle into a 4x4 free of charge - it was my birthday holiday after all. Many thanks to Robert and the Beacon Safaris team!
Daniel, our guide, was the best. He was one of the friendliest, charming, and good-natured people we ever had the pleasure to meet, and having him is our guide for almost a week just made the total experience the best among all of our holidays ever. He answered every question we had, and he went out of his way to make our Safari experience the best it could be - he always made sure we get to see what we wanted to see and surely he did! Every day of our safari tour always ended in a memorable experience and we owe it all to him. He was always in a fantastically upbeat mood, was always ready for a great conversation, and seemed to greatly value his job. All hands down to Daniel!
Daniel definitely deserves commendation - even a raise/promotion if possibe! He was just an absolute joy to be with and very passionate about his job. We could not recommend anyone else but him! If we ever come back, or if our friends decide to go for a safari in Kenya, we will definitely request and recommend Daniel!
Overall, Beacon Safaris is really the number one choice you should make when you decide to go for that African safari holiday! They're excellent, professional, and extremely wonderful to associate with. Thank you Daniel, Robert, and everyone at Beacon Safaris for making this the trip of our dreams. A big ASANTE SANA to all off you!
Choose Africa, choose Kenya, choose Beacon Safaris!

Perfect honeymoon
We have just returned from an amazing honeymoon organised by The Luxury Safari Company. As first-timers to Africa we had no idea what to expect and were overwhelmed with the wonderful experience on safari in Sabi Sands. Rose recommended Savanna Private Game Reserve and it was perfect - we loved the staff, food and, of course, the game drives. Our guides and tracker were so knowledgeable and really enhanced the experience. We finished off our honeymoon with a few days on the beach of Bazaruto Island, Mozambique. The Anantara was lovely and relaxing, once again with good service and food.
We were also impressed with the transfers organised by The Luxury Safari Company as the drivers were always punctual and extremely courteous. We have honestly never had such a smooth experience with hotel transfers and internal flights.
The communication from Rose was professional and she always promptly responded to any questions, including arranging an itinerary perfectly around international flights that we had booked separately. The lovely surprises like a bottle of champagne, rose petal filled bubble bath or private dinner in our suite organised by Rose made our holiday feel like a real honeymoon. We will definitely use this company again for our next African holiday.

I HIGHLY recommend booking a safari experience with African Bush Lovers!
My sisters and I booked a 5 night/6 day safari in Botswana with African Bush Lovers (for a party of 6 people). The entire experience from inquiry, to booking, to arriving, to game driving was magically organized and perfectly executed!
Before we committed to booking with African Bush Lovers, we were in touch with Kenewang (goes by Kenny), the co-owner of the company. From the moment of first contact, we knew we found the PERFECT safari company. African Bush Lovers is locally owned and operated by Kenny and her husband, Stanza (more to come on this GEM of a human!). Both Kenny and Stanza are natives of Botswana and they are super helpful and very friendly.
In late May, our party of 6 flew into Maun to meet up with the African Bush Lovers team. The moment we got through customs, we were greeted by our fearless Professional Nature Guide, Stanza. Stanza is a veteran nature guide with over 10 years of safari experience. Our group wholeheartedly agreed, Stanza was the BEST guide and we trusted him with our lives.
During our safari experience, we went to the Moremi Game Reserve, Savuti and Chobe National Park. Stanza’s safari vehicle (lovingly named the “Gods Must Be Crazy”) was incredibly comfortable and spacious. In addition, Stanza’s off-road driving skills were impressively good!
Stanza WOWED us daily with his knowledge about all of the nature and wildlife. The volume of wildlife we saw during our game drives exceeded ALL of our expectations. Some highlights include: 1 male leopard, 4 male lions, a pride of female lions (on a hunt!!), a handful of crocodiles, dozens of giraffes, a couple herds of zebras, at least 50 hippos, and at least 500 elephants. By the end of the safari, we were all convinced that Stanza was part eagle due to his amazing long-distance eye sight. Also, his ability to identify tracks/dung/bird calls was next level! In addition to the wildlife, Stanza shared a lot of information and great stories about the history, culture and people of Botswana. Such a treat!
Stanza and his team were quick to accommodate every need and desire we had while on safari. We had great camp sites, comfortable camping equipment (we opted for the semi-luxury accommodations), AND plenty of drinks and delicious food. Stanza and his team even included a tea time during our game drives! They planned for EVERYTHING. For meals, our chef Moffatt and his sous chef, Simba, prepared delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner meals. Every dinner was a decadent multi-course meal. It seemed like Moffatt was on a mission to make us gain weight

Awesome safari with a company that really cares about the environment, the wildlife and the people.
We had an incredible safari, surpassing our expectations. We saw everything. Our driver/guide James was perfect, had a great nose for sniffing out special sightings and was a mine of information for birds. We saw 181 bird species, 44 animals. Lions and Leopards mating, cheetah cubs, a black rhino, it was just one thing after another and the accommodation was fantastic every night. When Richard got sick and had to be taken to hospital it was no trouble for Simon and James to extend and change the itinerary. Simon looked after all our hotel and bus bookings. The only thing we would not recommend is the Impala shuttle bus to and from Nairobi. They provide a poor service but that was not Simon's fault.

Amazing experience, incredible wildlife
Incredibly easy to see most of the big fives (we missed the rhino)
Sceneries are amazing, although possibly not as good as Namibia or Kenya
Food was always alright
Transportation, guide and accommodation always met expectations or more

Review about a 5 day safari (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro)
I was on a 5 day safari including Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro in August, 2014.
I had a wonderful time on the safari. I was completely satisfied with our driver,Hassani and our cook, Pius. They both made the trip unforgettable, with their knowledge, sense of humor and kindness. Hassani proved to be a wonderful driver and guide, who knew everything about wildlife and always found the animals we were looking for.
Pius concocted the most amazing and tasty foods there are!
The luxury tents just outside of Tarangire were fabulous, and i loved sleeping in our tents in Serengeti and Nngorongoro.
The national parks were amazing and we were lucky enough to see the big 5!
Thank you for your professionalism Hassani, Pius and everybody at Northern Circuit Adventure, who made this trip amazing! I would highly recommend this outfit to anybody!
