Wildlife and emotional excursion in Kenya Mountain, Amboseli, Nakuru, Masaï Mara
We chose Beaconsafaris as our agent for the stay due to their excellent service when designing the trip. A big thank you to Robert and his team for always following up on our queries and responding quickly on all matters with flexibility and keeping a good balance in the schedule. The service during our trip was also excellent with very good support and smooth transition.
The team for the trek were right sized, supporting us with kindness allowing us to succeed to reach the top of the mountain at 4985 meters.
The safari driver and guide, was very friendly and kind and drove us comfortably and safely to interesting watching spots for the animals. He also had very good knowledge of the area and the

animals we saw. He also facilitated contact with a Masai community that we will keep in our memory.We were able to watch the "Big five" and so many other animals. The natural beauty and the "authenticity" of the experience were very different from visiting a zoo. Among others, we will remember the elephants bath in front of the Kilimanjaro at Amboseli, the sunset in Nakuru with the buffalos and rhinoceros, a leopard hunting scene in Masai mara,…
We chose a Toyota Land Cruiser, very much appreciated for his capacity to get through « everywhere » and it is sometimes necessary ;-).
The lodges were very confortable contributing to the very good experience with a special mark for the Flamingo Hill camp in Nakuru.
Overall, we can highly recommend Beaconsafaris as your partner in designing and arranging your Kenya/Safari vacation. If you chose the Kenya mountain trek, do not compromise with the recommended equipments.

Kenya is a good place to visit wildlife
The best of Kenya are its natural parks and its ancestral tribes, it is a country to visit, and safaris are available at good prices.

So happy I had The opportunity to see animals in their natural habitat
This company was fantastic. The price was incredibly reasonable. I only had 2 days available for a safari. So I did the 2 day 1 night safari. However, in hindsite I would have changed my schedule to make it a 2 night 3 day. The guides were fantastic, accommodation great. I am a solo traveler who was in a budget. This exceeded my expecations.

Falling in Love with Kenya
The weather is a bit cooler than we thought, we did not bring enough clothes, so we were freezing in some nights. But generally the hotel will provide enough blankets for us to get thru the night, which is fine.
The accommodations were much better than I thought they would be, and the services were always top notch. All the people in Kenya seems to be happy all the time, we were greeted with big smiles everywhere we go. The food inside the hotel were absolutely amazing!
We went to 4 different places for game drives (Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli) , and they were all pretty good! Although we did not see all the big five (we missed the leopard), but we saw a Cheetah climbing a tree during the sunset time, which

made up the loss we have. And hey, this just gives me an extra reason to come back to Kenya!Our guide Francis was very lovely. He was super attentive, polite, knowledgeable, and have eyesight like eagle. He can spot animals miles away, and we were just so amazed all the time!
A big shout out to our tour operator Heritage of African Jungles Tours & Travel, they were super professional, organized, and attentive. Naomi who was the owner, made sure that we were very well taken care of thru out the tour, and even before our tour started, she was super responsive on e-mails, and is always happy to answer any questions from us.
I'm already planning my next trip to Kenya.

The accommodation and food was great and of a hig standard. We will higly recomend the trip to anyone and would love to do it again in the future.

Safari in Masai Mara and Nakuru
We chose Tekko Tours & Travel as our agent for the stay due to their excellent service when designing the trip. A big thank you to Maggie for always following up on our queries and responding quickly on all matters. The service during our trip was also excellent. We were met at the airport and all practicalities with hotels, lodges and transportation were arranged "invisibly" with no unneccessary waiting time all the way until we headed back home.
The safari driver and guide, Stephen, was very friendly and kind and drove us comfortably and safely to interesting watching spots for the animals. He also had very good knowledge of the area and the animals we saw.
We chose a Toyota Land Cruiser for the game drives and recommend this type of car due to its ability to get through

"everywhere".For our part, four days was fine, as we were able to watch both "Big five" and the other animals we were hoping to see during these days. Both the wildlife and scenery were experiences for lifetime due to the natural beauty and the "authenticity" of the experience - very different from visiting a zoo.
We decided to limit ourselves to Masai Mara and Nakuru. If you decide to include more areas on the same trip, we suggest to carefully consider time balance between game drives and mere transportation.
Overall, we can highly recommend Tekko Tours & Travel as your partner in designing and arranging your Kenya/Safari vacation and if you have the chance, we definitely recommend including game drives and safari on your Bucket list!

Stunning wildlife and scenery
Amazing trip - in 7 days we did Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Hell's Gate and Ambolseli - each park offered different animals and foliage. Trip was the perfect length for what we wanted to cover.
