Extremely fulfilling and exactly what we were hoping for.
The communication was great. They were timely and offered different options as to what we wanted to do and the pace we wanted to go. Our guide was both friendly and helpful.

The most amazing 3 days!
We had the most wonderful 3 day/ 2 night safari with Beacon safaris. From the very start Robert communicated via email very quickly and efficiently. When the time came for the safari, everything was so well planned. From the pick up from our hotel, to the brilliant luxury camping accommodation to the incredible days touring the Masai Mara reserve and seeing such beautiful views and animals. Our driver/ guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and gave us lots of information. We will never forget our experience with beacon safaris and would strongly recommend them to anyone

Masai Mara as its best!
Beacon Safaris provided my family with a first class Masai Mara experience. I requested Ilkeliani Camp hotel and they delivered my request. Robert replied our e-mails in a very timely manner and his answers were clear. My husband and I considered, at the beginning, that pricing was fair but at the end of our trip we thought it was a very good value for the money paid. Josh was assigned to us as our guide and driver; we could not have asked for a better person for the task. We had fun and enjoyed his vast knowledge of the Kenyan Savannah as well as the great radio support group formed by all the guides in the area. Josh was always trying to give us the best experience possible hence we got to see incredible animals, including the migration groups.
On our trip back to Nairobi we could experience a great view of the Rift Valley Region which was breathtaking.
We wanted to do another excursion with Beacon Safaris but our family engagements did not allowed us to do it. Summarizing, we highly recommend Beacon Safaris services for your next visit to Kenya AND we will certainly use their services again on our next trip. Thank you Robert and Josh!!

2 day tour in Amboseli
We had a 2 days tour in amboseli from Nairobi. the tour was really nice and everything that was promised when we booked. we managed to see a lot of animals and our driver was very knowledgeable (John).
Don't underestimate the drive when you go there from Nairobi, it's pretty long especially if you arrive back in Nairobi around 5-6pm when the trafic is crazy. The Lodge where we stayed was amazing, Kibo Safari Camp (we enjoyed a lot the staff and the swimming pool).

Wonderful visit to the Masai Mara
We have just got back from a 3 day Safari with Beacon and it was a great experience.
We were lucky enough to see and photograph all of the "Big 5". Paul our driver was good, quite a character! The Ilkeliani Camp was also incredible, with impeccable service and a lovely setting.

Well organised with great vehicles and the best driver/guides taking us on a fantastic safari
We went with 3 other couples doing a 12 day safari which started in Northern Kenya and went through the Rift Valley ending up with 4 days in Tsavo before returning to Nairobi where it all started. In 2x7 seater 4WDs with the best driver/guides I have had in 15 years of taking clients on Safari. Clients saw all the Big 5, a migration crossing of the Mara river, went on a boat ride on Lake Naivasha, experienced the local culture & cuisine as well as staying in fantastic lodges & camps enjoying great food at all meals served by very friendly locals.

A Masai Mara safari that we’ll never forget!
We had a fantastic experience on our Beacon safari that surpassed our expectations. We went on a private 4-day safari to the Masai Mara and John was our driver and guide. John was a great guide; knowledgeable, experienced, personable, prompt, and overall a lot of fun. John drove us all over the Masai Mara and he had a skill for finding so many different kinds of animals, too many to even count. John clearly went out of his way to get the best possible angles for our photographs, and it was clear with his communications with other drivers that John was one of the most experienced and knowledgeable drivers there about the Masai Mara. We felt so lucky to have had him as our guide!
In the four days we saw ~20 giraffes, elephants (3 to 4 families), ~30 lions, 5 leopards, 8 cheetahs, 3 rhinos, water buffalo, zebras, wildebeest, gazelle, impala, baboons, hippos, crocodiles, ostriches, vultures, other birds, warthogs, and many more that I can’t remember at the moment. We would enthusiastically recommend Beacon and especially our driver/guide John for your safari!
