Brilliant, better then I expected.
Food and accommodation was amazing. Wildlife, scenery outstanding, much better I expected. We had excellent weather. This was well organised safari, the only thing that did not go well, was that our driver had to leave us half through the safari due to a emergency, and communication was poor. This needs to be improved for the future.

Best Holiday so far!
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!

Amazing
This is my first trip to Kenya . Beside attending training in Nairobi, i took safaris trip in Nairobi National Park and Maasai Mara . To make our trip easier, we should have Mpesa or paypal to Kenya, thankfully i have local friends to help me pay my entry fee to Nairobi park using his Mpesa and contact my agent trip to Maasai Mara for asking payment by cash.
Overall the trip is so fun, the agent very communicative and helpful, the weather is no nice, my tent is so neat and clean, and the best one is Maasai Mara. The Mara is so magical place, better than Nairobi National but if you just have short trip to Kenya, National Park is the best place, because it is nearby capital of Kenya.
Food, i am not into with kind of food there.. but acceptable

Relaxing experience out of the main tracks
Very good and enjoyable experience in less famous and touristic parks.
Food and accommodation were outstanding as so as our guide/driver who drove very safe and ready to satisfy all our needs all the time.
Wildlife was not so abundant and easy to spot as in Masai Mara but we were aware of this so this was not a delusion.
Weather was also good, with occasional evening or night rains.

We enjoyed pretty much everything of this route even though not all is easy - you have to expect waking up very early, eating simple meals, spending most of your

day in a van and staying in simple tents where you hear wildness roaring all night. But once you take all of these "struggles" as a starting point for a breathtaking experience (as we did) you will love it all.

Fabulous is what I can say, Maasai Mara is.
One of the best countries for wildlife viewing. The sheer expanse of Maasai Mara is breathtaking. The number of animals is simply mind numbing

Amazing!!
I visited to Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli. The trip was amazing.
I could see big 5 in one day!!
Animals with sunset and sunrise were beautiful and our guide, Sammy and all of staffs were very nice and friendly.
My flight was delayed and I couldn’t transit to next flight and I had to stay overnight at China, so my arrival date at Nairobi was delayed one day, but my tour company re-arranged my plan.
I really appreciate it.
I recommend Kenya game drive for sure.

Amazing once in a lifetime adventure!
Let me start with a little background. We originally booked with "Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris (KWSS)" in August 2018 for a safari to begin August 22, 2019. Exactly two weeks before our safari, KWSS sent an email saying they were no longer able to provide our requested service. Needless to say we were shocked and angry, and our confidence in booking on line shattered.
This was to be THE trip of our lifetimes, long saved for.
After deliberations we looked for another operator who could fit us in on short notice and conform to our prearranged flights.
It was such that we had the very good fortune to find Starluck!
Not only could Starluck fit us in on our original schedule, they were able to provide a customized

10-day safari superior to what we had originally booked.Given our previous scam we were nervous until we met James in the lobby of our hotel and he gave us a copy of the agreed upon itinerary, our lodge vouchers, and an explanation on how it would all unfold.
We met our driver/guide Kennedy the next morning and left for what would be an absolutely wonderful and amazing experience. We visited Amboseli, Aberdare, Simburu, Lake Nakuru and Masa Mara parks and preserves.
The accommodations were first rate and exceeded our expectations. The rooms were comfortable and the food excellent with much variety to choose from.
Kennedy was a superstar! He not only safely negotiated the chaotic and hectic Kenyan traffic and subpar roads with skill, he was very personable, friendly and courteous, and we learned much about Kenya and its cultures as we traveled.
Kennedy was very knowledgeable about the places we visited and ardently found the wildlife even the harder ones to find such as leopards.
Starluck, James and Kennedy saved our dream trip of our lifetimes and we are deeply indebted to them.

Fantastic experience. wildlife. food and scenery
We really enjoyed and the experience we cannot express in words. Watching the wild animals in their natural habitat was an experience. Weather was nice, food was great, all the accommodations exceeded our expectations especially Tsavo west. The water hole behind our lodge,in Kiluguani lodge, was busy whole night and we did not feel like to go to bed. In Masai Mara, Osero Camp, was inside the park and during night we could hear the killing and the struggle and the fights. Our tour guide Paul, Tukio safaris, was awesome. He took all the troubles to show us all "big five". we were very fortunate to see all only because of Paul. Only regrets is we couldn't see the river crossing.
