Very professional and well executed.
We had a 5 days safari with Carlos. Everything was perfect.
Carlos was very knowledgable about local culture and also about the different parc and animals.
He’s been doing this for over 13 years and really know his ways around the park and the best place to catch the animals at the right moment. In our short safari we got to see the big 5 and even more. We saw very rare animals sights and carlos was very good a predicting the animal movements according to the time and temperature of the day.
He also caught intererest in our taste of local culture and brought us to some local spots on demand.
The hotels booked by robert were great and greatly situated. The overall was very nice for the price. Everything was very clean and very « luxury » (we had a mid-luxury private package). Communicating with robert was easy and also accomodated us on last minute changes to add an additional park.
Thank you to beacon safaris and especially to our awesome guide Carlos !

Awesome experience
Michele and I really enjoyed a great 7 day safari with Daniel. Comms with Robert setting up our trip was also spot on. Highlights for us were Amboseli and Masai Maara - so much to see. Daniel was superb at getting us up close to animals as well as taking care of the logistics. He was very easy to talk with and we learned so much. We had nothing but positive experiences including accommodation, food and trying a little Swahili with the locals. Totally recommend.

Our Adventure in Kenya
For our safari in Kenya, we chose Beacon Safaris, and we couldn’t have made a better decision. We booked with Robert, who assisted us with great professionalism and care, arranging an itinerary that included Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli.
All the accommodations selected were excellent, comfortable, and perfectly suited to our needs.
A special thanks goes to our driver Daniel, whose professionalism, kindness, and deep knowledge made the journey truly unforgettable. During the game drives, he shared many explanations about the animals’ habits, enriching the experience and allowing us to fully appreciate every encounter. Thanks to him, we managed to see all of the Big 5 and enjoyed moments that will remain in our hearts forever.
We highly recommend Beacon Safaris to anyone looking for an authentic and well-organized experience in Kenya

Wonderful time in Kenya
I took a safari trip for 4 days with my family of 4 and it was an amazing experience. We changed 3 different parks and one private conservancy across different lodges. All high-hand lodges we were offered were amazing, especially Hildana Lodge and Elephant Gorge. Even though the trip itself entailed a lot of time on the road which was very tiring, the overall experience was definitely worth it. Strongly recommended!

Beacon arranged a most memorable safari with great accommodations and a class act guide.
We had an absolutely wonderful time in Kenya. We enjoyed the variety of accommodations and found the staff to be excellent and the food very good at all of them. We really appreciate Beacon organizing this experience. I especially want to express my appreciation for our guide and driver, Alex. His driving skills got us easily through areas where others were getting stuck and his navigation of some of the more challenging roads was quite impressive. His knowledge of the parks and wildlife was incredible. He knew where to best look to ensure that we saw all of the more memorable wildlife and followed leads from others to give us some very incredible sightings. We saw all of the Big 5 and witnessed the flow of the Great Migration from Tanzania into Kenya (including a lion ambushing a zebra as it crossed). He picked up very early in the trip that my wife and I were also interested in birds and he pointed out many of the unique species found in Kenya. I quickly learned to trust his identification of the many mammals and birds that we saw. To sum it up, I can't begin to say enough good things about him. He took what would have been an amazing trip and made it truly unforgettable.

Incredible 4 Day Safari in Masai Mara
It was an incredible Safari for us two with Beacon Safari to Masai Mara. We stayed three nights at the Maisha Camp and it was the best we could do! Everything was perfekt and it was an absolutely outstanding experience!
Our driver Carlos was a great guide with an excellent knowledge about the animals and it was a pleasure to be with him during our journey.
We saw a lot of animals and we could take a lot of great pictures. Especially the baby animals were very cute. We would love to repeat that journey some day.
Thanks to Carlos and also Robert, who organized everything well. It was very uncomplicated to book - we finally paid the journey in the same week the safari started, 3 or 4 days before. That was possible because we transfered the money though an online money transfer service where the money arrives within minutes.
The communication started some month before and it was quick and without problems. Robert gave us a lot of different offers as we asked him for many different lodges in masai mara and also privat conservancies. Everything is possible. Robert will arrange it!
Why we finally chose Beacon?
It is a very serious company, experienced and the prices are totally fair and compared to others even cheap wirhout loosing quality. So we can totally recommend Beacon Safari!

Beacon Safaris were absolutely fantastic, 100% service throughout
From my initial contact email to dropping us back to our hotel the entire process was faultless.
Robert was quick to answer all of our questions and provided everything promised.
We have done safari in Kenya previously but this was a whole new level.
Our driver / guide Alex, driving wether on or off road was chauffeur level, Animal knowledge outstanding and animal spotting unreal. It was almost as if he had a sixth sense, he found everything we asked about, mostly 30-45 mins before anyone else so we enjoyed unique up close personal encounters.
I really can not thank Beacon enough and have no hesitation in recommending them 100%

Fantastic Masai Maara and Lake Nakuru Safari
We did a one night stop in Lake Nakuru reserve and then 3 nights in Masai Maara. Lodges and organisation by beacon safari were very good and the guide Alex was super! We really enjoyed their availability during the planning phase and the precise description of the plan. Price in line with other organisations.
Totally recommended!

Wonderful, Magical, Big 5 in <24 hours on low season
Daniel was our tour guide and was amazing. I have been on numerous safaris but this was my husband's first safari and he was able to see all of the big five and other big cats within the first 24 hours. Daniel made that happen. The entire experience was the best safari I have done even better than Chobe and Kruger. Thank you so much
