best experience: full recommendation for Beacon, especially driver Carlos!
5/5

Whilst planning our safari and selecting the parks we wanted to visit, Beacon was always very responsive and helpful in tailoring our trip to our individual needs, proving us with clear recommendations and honest advise on what would and wouldn't be worthwhile. Ultimately we were thrilled and impressed by the wildlife sightings, the lodges and friendliness of everyone involved throughout the entire journey.
Carlos was the best driver we could have ever wished for. We always felt safe and very well looked after with him. He has the gift of always knowing where the animals would be heading, which gave us unique perspectives on the animals and a truely personalised experience.
100% recommendation for Beacon and 1000% recommendation for Carlos as a driver he is the absolut best!!

Beacon created the perfect tailormade safari for us
5/5

We had been on safari before and had therefore special requests regarding lodges and parks in Kenya. They were all fulfilled to perfection. Our guide picked us up in Mombasa right on time, and lead the way through Tsavo East, Tsavo West, Amboseli, Ol Pejeta, Buffalo Springs, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara in 13 days. We experienced the great variety of Nature and wildlife from East to North and South West of this fantastic country. Our guide had great knowledge and was an excellent driver and a skilled spotter. He never got tired of all our questions and he did a great effort to show us all the different species and to put the car in just the right position for good photos. He cooporated very well with other drivers in the parks and never gave up trying to find this or that particular animal. As a resultat we had the most amazing wildlife experiences such as following a leopard to his kill in a tree, driving alongside a walking lion couple on their honeymoon - we even saw them mating. We also saw rhinos close up and playing in a mud hole. We saw lions in a coorporated hunt, cheetas, elephants, buffalos, and all the antilopes and gazelles. And all the birds, of course. Besides all this we had such fun. We certainly had good company, and we could not have asked for a better safari than this.

Always Available and helpful
5/5

The tour was absolutely amazing! Our expectations were already high, and they were exceeded in every way.

A big part of this was thanks to our guide, Alex. He is a very respectful, professional, attentive, and kind person. He made us feel extremely comfortable and safe throughout the four days he accompanied us.

The tour itself was very well organised. Even though we only had a few days, we felt that we were able to see, experience, and truly enjoy so much. Everything was well planned, allowing us to make the most of our time.

As for the food, although it was simple, we found it very tasty and comforting, with that lovely homemade feeling that made us feel at home.

Without a doubt, an unforgettable experience that we highly recommend! ❤️

Anthony went above and beyond as he was knowledgeable, patient & good at finding animals.
5/5

Beacon Safaris surpassed our expectations in all aspects! This experience was so organized from beginning to end, and it was extremely worth it for the price we paid. It was very easy to communicate with the team before we embarked on our safari, especially when we faced a trip delay and they were able to make accommodations for us. The entire team was very reliable and would always respond in a timely manner. During the tour, we were highly impressed with the vehicle and the expertise of our tour operator, Anthony. Both made the experience extremely worthwhile as we were able to navigate smoothly through the parks, see lots of wildlife and also learn a lot about Kenyan culture. We highly recommend Beacon Safaris if you want a fulfilling safari experience!

A complex trip made completely effortless
5/5

We had a very positive experience with Beacon Safaris and would happily travel with them again.

Our itinerary was quite complex, involving international arrival in Nairobi, a transfer to Wilson Airport, domestic flights, several different camps and hotels, safari arrangements in different areas, and finally a few days on the coast in Diani. Before the trip, we naturally wondered whether all these connections would work smoothly in practice. Once the journey began, however, everything felt remarkably seamless. We rarely had to think about logistics ourselves, which gave us a real sense of security and allowed us to simply enjoy the trip.

From the moment we arrived in Nairobi, the arrangements worked well. A driver met us and transferred us to Wilson Airport, our domestic flight was properly arranged, and when the flight was delayed by several hours, our guide Alex was still waiting for us when we finally arrived in the Mara.

Alex was one of the highlights of our safari. He was not simply a good driver, but a genuinely professional and knowledgeable safari guide. He understood wildlife behaviour very well, knew the area, drove extremely safely and steadily, and always showed real respect for the animals. We never felt that he was chasing sightings just for the sake of getting closer. He was patient, honest and very attentive to what we were interested in seeing, and he helped us experience many memorable wildlife moments. We also felt very comfortable with him personally, which matters a great deal when spending so many hours together on game drives. If we travel with Beacon again on an itinerary where they provide the guide, we would absolutely be happy to request Alex again.

The accommodation choices were also excellent. Neptune Mara Rianta and Saruni Mara offered two very different safari experiences, and both were memorable in their own way. Later, our stay in Diani was another wonderful part of the trip. The transitions between different parts of the itinerary were handled smoothly, and we always knew what was happening next.

We were also impressed by how Beacon handled changes along the way. Our final domestic flight time was changed, and we were informed promptly so the rest of the arrangements could be adjusted accordingly. These details may sound small, but on a multi-stop trip they make a huge difference.

What impressed us most in the end was Beacon's reliability. Pre-trip communication could occasionally have been a little smoother, but once we were in Kenya, the actual execution of the trip was excellent. Everything connected, we felt well looked after, and at no point did we feel we had to solve logistical problems ourselves.

For us, that is one of the most valuable things a safari operator can provide: not just a good itinerary on paper, but the confidence that the whole journey will actually work when you are there.

We came away feeling that Beacon Safaris is a company we can trust, and we would be very happy to travel with them again.
