A professional operator with the ability to arrange bespoke safari tours
I can unreservedly recommend Beacon Safaris. We selected the company based on previous client reviews and I can endorse all the positive comments that others have made.
Our safari objective was not the usual one. We wanted to visit Amboseli National Park, off course to see the magnificent tuskers and other animals, but to focus more specifically on experiencing the park's bird life. We had prompt responses to our requests for information and the company accommodated our specific requests around our budget and for a guide with birding knowledge. Robert's administrative skills ensured things went smoothly. Beacon did all the donkey work, arranging travel, park fees and accommodation. We just pitched up and enjoyed the ride. Thank you, Robert.
I would like to single out Alex, our guide. He was professional, service-orientated and proved to be a valuable resource. He got the little things right. In particular, he struck a good balance between viewing animals and birds, thus ensuring we made the most of our trip and fulfilled our objectives. Alex knew from experience where certain birds were likely to be found and ensured that we covered the different habitats within the park. We ended up birding as a team and the result was most satisfactory. Alex was ideally suited for a bespoke birding safari like the one we had requested.
Being hosted by Beacon was a pleasurable experience. I have already given friends the company's contact details with our endorsement.

The adventure of a lifetime
We are absolutely delighted with our safari. From the very beginning, communication with the company was flawless. Our guide, Harum, was always punctual and professional. We felt very comfortable in his company. He was truly dedicated to making sure we saw all the animals, and he shared fascinating facts about each one of them. We will never forget these 7 days. We highly recommend this company and this guide to everyone!

An exceptional agency whose highly knowledgeable guides transformed our Masai Mara trip
An Unforgettable Masai Mara Adventure, Highly Recommend Beacon Safaris and Jamlick!
The quality of the entire tour from the well maintained safari vehicle to the excellent lodge selection far exceeded our expectations for the price.
The true highlight of our tour was our incredible guide, Jamlick. We cannot recommend him highly enough! Jamlick’s wildlife tracking skills, deep knowledge of the Masai Mara ecosystem, and innate understanding of animal behavior meant we saw things we never thought possible. Beyond his expertise, his warm personality, endless patience, and dedication to ensuring we had the best possible experience made our trip truly magical.

Efficient & Reliable
It was my first Safari experience. I booked months in advance. Winfred was reachable, communication was efficient. Everything worked out without surprises. Lukas was an awesome driver and guide. My stay at Praro Amboseli was very pleasant and comfortable. Would book again.

Very reliable, caring and safe.
We booked the 6-day Kenyan Premier Safari and it was amazing! Our Guide Harun was liable, overly punctual and cared about our safety outside and inside the national parks. We saw more animals that we coould imagine and even the big 5. Our highlights were the baby lions and the big elephant herds crossing the streets.
The accomandations were all nice and cozy but the second one (Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge) took our breath away!
We would recommend the tour operator, the accomandations and also all three parks (Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli).

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