Amazing safari - saw the big five!
We did a 4 day safari to Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara and it was amazing. Antony was our driver/guide and he was great. He took really good care of us and went out if his way to make sure we saw the big five! Which we did!
Also the communication beforehand with Robert was very good and he was very helpfull.
Thank you Beacon Safari!

Absolutely Brilliant!
From beginning to end we were VERY well cared for. Email communication was fast, efficient, and thorough as we planned the trip. In country the local manager made sure to greet us in person at the beginning and end of the safari, and also checked in by phone with us during the trip. Our accommodations throughout our 9 day safari were exactly what we wanted, and according to budget.
Safaris in Tanzania are not recommended for people who need everything to go exactly as planned at all times; it's just not realistic. The roads are "washboard style", the vehicles take a beating, the days are long, and the dust is extreme ... stuff happens, so you have to be willing to go with the flow and let it be part of the adventure.
While on safari our guide, Kelvin, was a delight, and very skilled at managing any challenge that presented itself. Funny, bright, knowledgeable, committed to safety, and ever so patient with our endless questions.,, we could not have been happier. One thing we especially appreciated was that he didn't push to make sure we saw "the big five". We wanted to see what we could see, and see it well, but we weren't collecting numbers. In the end, we wound up seeing SO MUCH MORE than we had ever hoped for. He was especially great at helping us identify birds, and letting us watch their behavior for long periods when we desired.

Great trip
I needed to get away from the harsh Toronto winter. Tanzania was the best destination on the equator line. Henry had exceptional service from the airport to the 10 day safari. I will be book the other Henry again next year.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Ilinca
The Lion King now makes so much more sense. Beautiful scenery and we saw the great Migration.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Ilinca
Driving through the Ngorongoro Reservation Area and the Crater was unique. So many different impressions and so many animals. Particularly loved the Hippo Pool.

Beautiful wildlife, lovely people and impressive scenery
We had a great experience with our Safari. David was quick in responding and sending the offer as well as well accessible via Whats App. We were picked up at the Airport and brought to our Hotel and met our Driver, Issa, the next day. He knew a lot about People, animals and where to go and was Kind to inquire about what we wanted to see and made all the efforts to drive us. Issa was not shy to secure us great spots for taking Pictures. We were also lucky and got to see quite a lot of wildlife. The accommodation was great, the first night on Safari was spent in tents in the middle of the Serengeti with delicious dinners and very welcoming staff; the second night we spent in a Lodge at the Ngorongoro Crater. What a unique and great experience. Thank you Issa, for making it work for us so well and thank you David. We can highly recommend it and would book again with them.

AMAZING! Professional from beginning to end. Felt safe and everything was done for us! GREAT SERVICE
Service from African Challenge Safaris was professional, efficient, and FAST from beginning to end. Creating and booking an itinerary was very easy. Options were provided to customize our safari tour. We were picked up at the Nairobi airport and dropped off on our last day. The entire time we were with either Kennedy or Emanuel (our safari guide). They made sure all of our needs were met and they provided excellent customer service! All of the bookings were smooth and we didn't run into any issues our entire time in Kenya. I would HIGHLY recommend requesting Emanuel Njuki as your personal safari guide. He was very friendly and an expert in everything about Kenya! He is also an excellent driver, which makes a big difference on the safari rides! This was a wonderful vacation where we just booked with Kennedy and didn't have to worry about anything after that. He took care of everything and we cannot wait to go back to Kenya! 5 Stars all the way!

3 unforgettable weeks in Kenya & Tanzania: Mt. Kenya, Mt. Kilimanjaro and much more
Thanks to Chris I spent 3 amazing weeks (Dez 17 – Jan 18) in Kenya and Tanzania for an affordable price. He was always available for any questions and had very good recommendations.
Even if I decided only some weeks earlier to spend my vacation in East Africa, Chris answered very quickly to my emails and planned the whole 3 weeks for me. Chris organized everything, from my arrival at the airport in Nairobi until my departure including transfers, hotels, trekking tours, safaris and national parks. During the three weeks I visited for example:
Maasai Mara National Reserve
Mount Kenya National Park climbing successfully Point Lenana (4895m)
Giraffe Centre Nairobi & Nairobi Safari Walk
Kilimanjaro National Park climbing successfully Uhuru Peak (5895m)
Kibera Slum Nairobi
Lake Bogoria & Lake Naivasha
Hell's-Gate-Nationalpark
Kiambethu Tea Farm at Limuru
Because of my last minute booking Chris asked me to pay the full amount in advance. At the beginning I was very skeptical and suspicious about this, because there are a lot of fake tour operators in East Africa. During my tours I got also to know other tourist which have lost a lot of money sending money to fake tour operators. But Chris made a very professional impression to me. He was always reachable via E-Mail/Phone/WhatsApp and responds very quickly. Therefore I paid the full amount in advance and everything was fine.
All in all Chris was a very good single point of contact for me, because with more than 15 years of experience he knows a lot of people and has a very good network for tours and safaris in East Africa. Therefore he is always able to plan an individual vacation for everybody’s needs and to make your vacation an unforgettable experience.
So I highly recommend Chris for all kind of vacation in East Africa. Hiking, Climbing, Safaris, etc. Regardless of whether a long vacation or only 1 tour. Chris will always find the best individual solution.
