Excellent!!! A+
We had a wonderful 7 days taste of Kenya safari, with our guide Antony. Starting with Masai Mara and ending with Tsavo. Antony spoke very good english and shared a wealth of information about ghe animals and the culture. I would recommend Beacon to anyone and would gladly book again.

Excellent - so much better than expected
Fastest back and forth communication with Beacon safaris vs. other providers.
Great explanations re pros of each camp/ using a 4x4 with no hard upselling which was much appreciated.
Excellent guide!!! Ken was easy to get along with, very polite, chatty when we wanted to chat, without being overly talkative -important as I am quite grumpy in the early morning :)
And most importantly, Ken saw it as a personal mission to get us to see the big cats and more animals. And when we didn't see as much after 1 drive, we could tell he was more disappointed than we were! We were not disappointed at all as we saw 7 cheetahs, 11 lions (male, female & cubs), the wildebeest migration and river crossing, a black rhino, hippos, elephants, zebras, giraffes and 2 live kills. We were admittedly very lucky but we also had an excellent guide.
We have already recommended Beacon Safaris to all our friends!

Execellent
We had a very good experience right from the biggening. The quick response from Robert to our emails prompted us to choose Beacon. Our guide Anthony made the four days trip a rewarding experience. we saw all big five. Infant we encountered 12 lions 9 cheetahs, 2 leopards and black and white Rhinos. Our 5 year old and 10 year old had a lovely experience. The camp stays were comfortable. We highly recommend Anthony as s guide and Beacon as your chosen Safari tour company.

Awesome Kenyan safari experience
We had a private customized 9-day Kenyan safari starting in the last week of June . Visited Samburu, Ol Pajeta, Aberdares, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara. Accomodation (in tented camps & lodges) and vehicle (4 x 4 with hatch top) were good.(excepting some minor house-keeping issues at Ashnil Mara). We are deeply appreciative of Mr. Robert(who communicated and co-ordinated the itinerary efficiently) and especially to our guide cum-driver-- Mr. Anthony Gitau (who was knowledgeable, lively, cheerful, prompt, adaptive and skillful) for giving us an awesome , safe and enjoyable trip and helping us to see the beauty of Africa at it's best. We were fortunate to witness the wilderbeest migration and crossing of the Mara river, the Big Five and a host of other birds and animals thanks to Anthony's sharp and swift tracking skills. We highly recommend Beacon safaris.

Perfect experience
We visited Masai Mara in June 2017 and returned home with fantastic memories.
First of all our driver John was one of the main reasons for our successful trip. Our trip started with a timely pick-up from the hotel. During the trip to Masai Mara and the safari game drives John have been very informative and told us of the fun experiences he had on other game drives, about the animals and Africa in general. He was great at spotting the animals, as well as using walkies to get notified of where the animals were, and racing through Masai Mara to spot them. We were lucky to see all of the big 5 animals and take plenty of pictures. Thank you John! :)
Apart from that we stayed at the great camp, Ashnil Mara. The camp was situated at the heart of Masai Mara, so the game drives started as soon as we drove out of the camp. The camp is located by the Mara river, where we could watch the animals come by. We lived in luxurious tents, which were both beautiful and comfy. The food was great and plenty. In the evenings we could relax outside by the fire and listen to the hippo noises in the Mara river.

Really great safari with great company!
Booked at last minute having been scammed by another company. Robert was an excellent communicator who arranged a 9 day safari in 48 hours! (Fortunately he had availability). Everything about the trip was excellent. Picked up at airport; taken to hotel for one night stay; picked up following morning for magical safari where we saw the big 5 plus much, much more. Driver/guide was Anthony who was excellent. Friendly; well informed on wildlife; very good driver. A pleasure to spend 9 days in his company!
I have no hesitation in recommending Beacon Safaris as a thoroughly professional and competent company and also highly recommend Anthony as an excellent guide!

Magical Kenya truly lived up to its reputation thanks to Beacon
My family and I went on a 6 Day 5 Night safari in Kenya in June 2017. This was the most amazing family trip we have been on from start to finish. Our guide/driver Anthony picked us up from our hotel in Nairobi and we were off on an exciting adventure. He welcomed us with a beautiful song and went over our itinerary so we were ready and prepared for our adventure. He was incredibly knowledgeable, able to answer all of our questions about the parks/animals/Kenya/etc. And our expectations of the trip were met and then some. We were so excited to see all the animals, and we did: elephants, lions, black rhinos, giraffes, cheetahs, leopards, hippos, zebra, etc. Anthony did his absolute best to make sure each game drive was eventful, always keeping his eyes and ears out for animals. We checked the Big 5 off our list within the first day and a half! And the accommodations recommended by Beacon were great. They were luxurious, the rooms were roomy and comfortable, unique decor that was true to the environment, the views incredible, the food very good, and the staff very welcoming and gracious. Our SUV was also a great ride, comfortable, spacious, and affording great views on our game rides. Even in between parks and reserves, Anthony was really great at sticking to his schedule but also building in the appropriate stops. We could not have been happier with our trip and with the services provided by Beacon and Anthony. I'm using so many superlatives because they really are warranted. This was an amazing trip. Choose Beacon Safaris, and ask for Anthony if he's available, you will not be disappointed.
