If you can manage it, this should be on your "list" of experiences to have in a lifetime!
The wildlife part of the trip was incredible; can't say enough superlatives to describe it. The extra day to Lake Nakuru was a lot of extra driving, but worth it for the rhinoceros. (A 300mm lens on the camera was nice, but the wildlife is so close that you don't always need it!)
This was a budget trip; just to be clear what you would get for your money if you booked something more expensive, it has no impact on your wildlife experience; our guide was incredible; it just means that the accommodation and food are budget, and the vehicle is maybe less comfortable and has more people (and wasn't 4WD, though that didn't impact our experience, even in the rainy season).
My one complaint was that the balance was due in USD on arrival, and they insisted I pay more than the balance because I'd brought the money in 20-dollar bills. I ultimately paid an extra $10 because I didn't feel like arguing; originally they'd wanted $30 more until I suggested I'd go online and wire them the balance, and then they promptly decided that $10 more would be enough. I'd give them 4 stars for that, but the guide was worth 6 stars, so that averages out to 5...

The best experience ever, a must-have!
We had an amazing experience with Beacon Safaris! Communication was super, all of our questions were answered with patience and kindness. We were picked up from the hotel by Ken, who we imagine the best driver and guide in the world. We were in Masai Mara for two days and in Lake Nakuru for one and half day. We saw the big five and pretty much every other animal. I think that we will never forget this adventure. Last day we ended up our trip with a visit to Giraffe Center, which was unforgettable.
The weather often was sunny and a little bit rainy, but it was totally ok. The 2 hotels- Sopa Lodge and Savora- were super and the foods were delicious.

Much more than expected: more wildlife, more adventure, more friendlyness!
I expected to see wildlife from a distance but I was wrong! It was much more than expected or even dreamed of. We were a Little before Peak Season and and had therefore easy access and free spaces in hotels and restaurants. Streets and pathways are in a bad condition but our driver tried everything to make the journey as comfortable as possible.

Best range of Africa safari experiences
This is my first time to safari in Kenya although I’ve done in Namibia, SA, and Botswana before. In other countries I seemed to have a choice of exclusively high end organizers or almost exclusively backpacker trips. In Kenya I found a mix of both.
One thing that was really special about Kenya was being able to see tribal, nomadic culture. Masai in the Masai Mara is well known. But I also went to Samburu and Lake Turkana and got a chance to observe authentic nomadic cultures. These areas don’t have great tourist infrastructure but the opportunity is unique and really worth it.
Nice view and many animals
Even though rain season, we could see the sunrise and sunset. And there were many stars in the sky. Also we saw many lions, buffalos, cheaters and others. The seanery was so great because of the grass of green. We stayed 5 nights at Masai Mara and went 9 game drives. All game drives were perfect for us.
We will come back to Masai Mara!
They made us feel like royals.
The services was overwhelming. Nairobi is a beautiful place, we enjoyed every moment.

We had an amazing experience on safari in Kenya that we will never forget.
We just finished an amazing five day safari that we booked through Wildlife Sun Safari's, and all we can say is WOW! James, the owner of the tour company was quick to answer each and every email and answer all questions that I had. He quoted us a decent price for a private tour which was much more reasonable than other quotes that I received.
Upon arrival at the airport James and our driver Toya where there to meet us and soon after we began our safari. Toya was knowledgeable about Kenya and proved to be an expert at spotting animals along the way. His English was good and he was always eager to accommodate us in any way necessary throughout the tour. We appreciated his good driving, even on wet roads and in heavy traffic. He was extremely patient even when roads were washed out along the way and he had to find an alternate route to get us to our destination.
The accommodations included in this tour were all first class and the food served at each one was delicious and presented beautifully.
We were thrilled at the amount of wildlife that we saw during our safari and the scenery in the parks was breathtaking. Even though we were here for rainy season, we managed to have good weather with little rain along the way. Our experience with Wildlife Sun Safari's was impressive and we would not hesitate to do another safari with them or recommend them to others. We are already thinking about returning for another safari in the near future since we enjoyed this one so much!
