Absolutely fabulous. Good for the soul!
Kenya is a beautiful country. Everything from the scenery to the diversity of landscapes. Most of all the Kenyans make this a must visit destination. They are warm welcoming and want to help.
Our safari was incredible. The accommodation at the Entim Mara was beautiful. Our safari guide was so knowledgeable. The space, the silence and experience of seeing wildlife on the Mara plains is unique.

It is full of wildlife. A first timer will surely get overwhelmed with sheer numbers.

AN UNFORGETTABLE AND AMAZING EXPERIENCE
If you are hasitating in visiting Kenya on february, do not do it! The weather is perfect, not to hot, with no rain. We could see the big five in the fisrt day, and a lot of other animals. The Masai Mara is wonderful, with great sightseeings, it is not to crowded. All the hotels are really great, the service is impecable, you can see everyone with a smile in their faces. Our tour was wonderful beginning with our guide, that has a lot of experience, always taking care of us, the transport is quite good, we had the car for ourselves. The food is very good.

Amazing safari with Classic Journeys
We were 4 persons and we spent 4 days in Masai Mara. All the 4 days were amazing and the safari agency (Classic Journeys) did a great job organizing for us a unbelievable moment. Everything was better than our expectations: the accommodation , the food and of course the guide. Everyday day of game driving was a surprise and we had the impression being in the scenery of Lion King.
Highly recommended.

Utterly breathtaking. The awe and beauty of Kenya is nothing you can prepare for - unforgettable!

animals up close, but we were in a tented camp where we woke up to warm coffee and the sounds of the hyena, zebra, lions and elephants. We also met the Masai Warriors and Masai ladies - an unforgettable cultural experience that taught us we have so much to learn from all life in Africa and the resiliency of their cultures. The middle 2 days of our trip was spent passing through Lake Naivasha (for a fun boat ride and break from the driving) and then heading up to Lake Nakuru for an evening drive and night at the Sopa Lodge (which was absolutely stunning with its views and accomodations. we should have stayed longer!). We saw both white and black rhino in Lake Nakuru not to mention so many bird species at both lakes. We ended our trip at Amboseli Park with Mt. Kilimanjaro overlooking the ecosystem. On our way down we passed through an amazing carpentry shop and walked out with quite a few souvenirs. We can't thank Peter enough for showing us some of the BEST craftsmanship Kenya has to offer. Arriving at Amboseli Park was a dream. We didn't think the trip could get any better but we were wrong. The elephants, hundreds of elephants, greeted us after a few kms into the park. The grassland, swamps and lake were thriving with life. We encountered so many incredible wildlife moments from baby elephants playing to thousands of flamingos to wildebeest giving birth! it was truly a sight to see all with the magnificent Mt. Kilimanjaro as the backdrop. As if this wasn't long enough... there is even more and it just takes going to get the full experience. We highly recommend Beacon Safaris and Peter as your guide! Whether you are travelling with friends, going on your honeymoon or just on an adventurous trip - this is by far the best deal we found. Every accommodation, meal and activity was planned with this team and we could not be more happy with the price for such an incredible experience.

Amazing safari
1. The car (a safari-vehicle-converted 8-seater Toyota) was comfy and safe.
2. Our driver-guide Sam was nice, polite and always able to spot the animals. He was flexible and knowledgeable. He cleaned the vehicle daily (as you can imagine, the roads are dusty).
3. We stayed in standard lodges - to be honest, what they call "standard" was already in the luxurious zone for us. But it was worth it as it was only a few dollars more expensive than camps. All the hotels were nice, comfy and fully equipped.
4. The meals

in safari lodges are not Michelin-level, but they are still good. Water, tea and coffee was always provided. Breakfast buffet was satisfactory even for a gluten-free person.5. Our driver provided drinking water for us.
6. If you want to see the big 5, go to Maasai Mara. If you want to enjoy the scenery, go to Amboseli. For this reason I was happy that we decided to do Mara first and Amboseli second - we saw all the animals first and then had fun later.

A life changing experience
This adventure went beyond any of my expectations. Definitiely a lifetime highlight for me and my family, filled with memories that we will cherish for years to come. Everything was taken care of, handled with excellence, and treated with a “touch of class.” I am also glad that we took the coaching on selecting the land cruiser vs the mini-van, thanks Simon. Accommodations, food, and service were wonderful. Can’t wait for the next one.
