excellent adventure
Booking:
The booking process was very smooth. Robert, the manager I believe, was quick to respond to our questions and organize our entire trip.
Trip:
The safari went off without problems. Our driver and guide, Peter, was wonderful. He was knowledgable in the wildlife and shared a lot of other information about Kenyan life, culture, and politics. Peter was with us for the entire trip (except one short leg from our hotel to a meet-up point, where it was a different driver).
As for the actual game drives, it was an amazing experience! We saw pretty much every animal that lives in the region, except the leopard. Regardless, I would recommend this company without hesitation, and am looking forward to the next time I go back!
Fantastic trip with a very friendly and knowledgeable driver (9 Days Magical Kenya)
We booked the 9 Days Magical Kenya trip with Beacon Safaris in July 2018 and can wholeheartedly recommend it.
We spent time in Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Navasha, Amboseli and Tsavo West and Tsavo East and enjoyed every single one of these beautiful places.
The accommodations chosen by Beacon Safaris were excellent. Especially the Kilaguni Lodge in Tsavo West, with the waterhole being visible from the restaurant and bar was a truly magical place. The food was always excellent.
We had the pleasure of having Eric as our guide, whom we also found to be an excellent driver – we always felt very safe. Eric clearly is very knowledgeable and didn’t tire to answer our countless questions, and was generally a very pleasant and friendly person to be around.
The only minor complaint we have was that the boat safari on Lake Navasha turned out to be an optional activity and not included in the package. The price didn’t matter much, in the overall scheme of things, but we had specifically chosen Beacon Safaris because their itineraries didn’t feature optional activities – we had wanted to know exactly how much we’d end up spending for exactly which activities and game drives.

they provide the best service even some problems happened.next time please organised best to avoid.
we think this safari tour can provide the best arragements for us according our requests. and can communicate us very quickly.but some problems should avoid next time.one is the conflict between the booking domestic flight time and our departure time to Seychelles for the last day. another is the Enkorok Mara Camp booking for us is short of water for 2 days and we can not bear it for 2 days without taking a shower. however they changed a camp finally.

Professionally organised safari to Amboseli
Good job.
Clear communication with Robert for preparation. Safari was done by James, nice guy; very friendly. He made very good efforts to let us see the animals that we wanted to see.
My suggestion is to provide more information about the animals and the nature during the safari.

Great Safari
Great communication before our arrival. During safari the communication with our guide was sometimes difficult, he was more calling with the phone than talking to us. On questions we asked him, he gave us short and not very informative answers.
The accomodations were very good. Perfect hotels with great food.
During the whole tour we felt very secure. Good driver.

Amazing Kenya.
We really enjoyed our time in Kenya and hope to be back sometime soon. Kenya is stunning. The parks, hotels and the overall safari experience was amazing. We enjoyed the warm welcome and gracious hospitality extended to us by everyone we met. It made our trip really special.
Our overall experience with Beacon safari was outstanding. Robert, the owner, was very helpful with planning the trip to our specifications. He was prompt with emails and was patient with all the questions I had. Our itinerary included Samburu, the great rift valley and it's beautiful lakes and Maasai Mara. Antony was our guide for the trip.
Antony's a good guide and tried his best to show us the big 5, which we were lucky to find. He was polite and friendly and had no major issues with him.

Spectacular Safari
We went into this vacation not knowing what to expect. Robert of Beacon Safaris was wonderful to deal with, every time we wanted to add, change or just ask a question he was right there with the information and this made the planning phase very easy. Once we arrived in Nairobi we were met at the airport and taken to our hotel. The two days we spent in Nairobi were well planned and we knew just what we were doing at all times.
When it came time to head out on Safari, Ken was our guide and he truly made our vacation fantastic. He was so knowledgeable and always answered all our questions, plus kept us informed as to what we were seeing. We visited Masai Mara National Reserve, Lake Nakuru National Park, Amboseli National Park and Tsavo West National Park. All were great in their own way, different animals and landscape. We were lucky enough to see the big 5 and so much more wildlife. Each day just got better and better! From breakfast with the hippos, a balloon ride over the savanna to watching the sunset from the top of Lion Rock. It was all spectacular! I know I said it once but it bears repeating, Ken was an outstanding guide and you would be lucky to have him lead your Safari. I highly recommend Beacon Safaris.

Experience of a lifetime
My husband and I were slightly apprehensive having never done a safari before but the arrangements and booking process was amazing with Beacon Safaris, Robert made everything so easy. Every single minute was exceptional Antony picked us up at the airport and dropped us off at our hotel and Khan was there bang on time the next morning for our safari to begin. Khan was superb and his knowledge immense, nothing was too much bother. Khan took us to the Sarova at Masi Mari, he was such good company and we learnt such a lot from him, he went out of his way to give us a good experience, an absolute credit to Beacon Safaris who I cannot recommend enough. Sadly when we went to Lake Nakuru Khan was unable to come along, which I understand is very unusual as you normally have the same guide throughout. We had Evans who was also very good. We saw the big 5 and so much more. Don't consider booking with anyone else!

Everything we hoped it would be!
We just completed our 5 day safari in Kenya with our guide Anthony and it was amazing! Anthony is a very experienced guide and did a great job making sure we saw the things we wanted to see. We went with our 8yo and 12 yo boys and they absolutely loved everything about it.
Booking the safari was very easy and we did not have any issues. I confirmed our pickup location and time before leaving the US and everything went exactly as planned. We were happy with the itinerary and our lodgings and definitely would use Beacon and Anthony again in the future.

Great 4 day safari!
We had an amazing experience with Beacon Safaris! Communication with Robert was superb, he answered all of my questions with patience and kindness and suggested a great trip. We were picked up at the airport by Anthony, who I imagine must be the best driver in the world! The roads were rough due to the rains and he didn't have any trouble. We saw the big 5 and pretty much every other animal under the sun thanks to Anthony! It was a spectacular experience I will never forget! We ended our trip to Kenya with a city tour with Victor. We had a great time in Kenya thanks to Beacon Safaris!
