Amazing Kenya Safari Experience
The trip was everything we expected and more. As a photographer I wanted to experience the true nature of Kenya and Beacon looked after everything to make our experience truly unique. Robert booked all our hotels and organized the trips and accommodations, he also made great recommendations for us on the trip. Johnny our driver was awesome and he always got us to the animals fast so we got to spot lions, leopards and everything else almost daily. He knew the park roads well and accommodated our needs at all times. I would definitely recommend Beacon for anyone considering a Safari with a trusted company. Also consider flying into some of the parks as the roads can be very long and are rough, a short flight from Maasai Mara back to Nairobi was well worth the extra costs.

Well organised and good follow up.
After an initial glitch where our contact had our dates mixed up, the recovery plan worked well as we stayed in two different lodges in stead of one and were able to see more animals in two different locations.
Having said that the second lodge ( Ashnil Game Camp, our initial plan) was much nicer than the first one (Sarova Mara Game Camp). Ashnil is positioned on the edge of the Mara river and is a great location to view the Migration crossing.
Great experience
Just came back from a 3-day safari in Masai Mara with our friendly guide Anthony. It was an awesome time; saw lots of animals (no leopards or rhinos, though) and had a great experience. Robert was professional, quick to respond to changes in our itinerary and quick to respond to our inquiries. Anthony was friendly, always smiling and knowlegeable about the park, the animals and Kenya in general. Sad to see that so many animals seem to have disappeared compared to 20 yrs ago, but would definitely recommend safari to anyone, especially with Beacon. We stayed at the Sopa lodge, which was luxurious, had great food and drinks! Relaxing to come back to after a day of driving on rough terrain :)

Beyond our expectations!
My husband and I booked a safari trip, but also requested a few add ons. Robert did a great job organizing everything on our trip and came to greet us at the airport and say bye before we departed. Our driver Ashton was fabulous ... Always on time, informative, friendly, and even helped us sort out a banking issue. Had a great time and my next trip to Kenya will be handled by Beacon Safaris again and hopefully we'll get Ashton again.
Highly recommended!

Safari lived fully up to our expectations due to excellent guide Antony
The reservation process with Beacon Safaris went smoothly, feedback was swift and complete. The Toyota Landcruiser used for the safari was only one year old and well maintained.
The tented camps, where we stayed during the 7 day safari, were luxurious, clean and the food was good.
Our guide Antony was punctual, friendly, very knowledgeable and a safe driver.
We truly had a great safari and can heartily recommend him as well as Beacon Safaris.
The safari was magic, and our guide (Kenneth) has a lot of knowlegde, always smiling and helpful.
It was a wonderful holiday.
A lot of driving, but when we arrived at the park every mile was forgotten.
And all the magnificent animals.
Our guide (Kenneth) is a very nice, polite and smiling man.

3-day Kenya Safari - Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru
My 3-day safari was full of fun and I had a great experience! My initial flight was cancelled and I had to book another flight to Nairobi the next day. Robert changed the itinerary immediately when he was notified. John, my safari guide, took extra miles to ensure that I had a great experience. And I did! John is also very knowledgeable and accommodative. I highly recommend Beacon Safaris and John! By the way, I went during the rainy season and saw the big five, including the elusive black rhino! Thanks, John and Robert!

Short April Safari
Everything went well from the pick-up to the drop-off and all in between. The service and lodge were both excellent and we got to see many amazing animals thanks to our top-class guide Anthony who really tried his best throughout the trip. The Mara itself looked great and it was a privilege to spend even a short time there. I would certainly love to see it again in the not too distant future.

A safari to remember for the rest of my life
It was my first time in East Africa, and my first time doing a safari. I found Beacon Safari's by chance online. It was a very last minute decision I made to travel, as I had a few days off in-between changing jobs. From initial email to Robert the owner, and to arriving in Kenya, it was only 3 or 4 days! Robert took care of all accommodation, meals and transfers included in one reasonable price. The camps he selects are the best, not only in quality but also in experience. John the driver was invaluable, he had lots of knowledge of the areas we visited as well as the wildlife, and he worked hard to make sure we saw the Big 5! I would definitely go with Beacon Safari's again.

Amazing first safari w/ Anthony. Would definitely recommend!
My parents and I decided to do our first safari for my mom's 50th birthday. When we arrived in Nairobi, Robert and Anthony picked us up in a beautiful 4x4 to take us on our trip. Throughout the journey, Anthony was the perfect tour guide, smart, funny, and punctual. He knew the park extremely well, so we got to see all of the animals we wanted. Within ten minutes of entering Masai Mara, we saw a leopard! The next day, we saw 4 lions, 5 lion cubs, 6 cheetahs, and more! Anthony recommended we wait by 4 of the cheetahs because it looked like they were about to hunt. He ended up being right: we saw the four attack and kill a gazelle, which was definitely the highlight of the trip.
Would definitely recommend Anthony and Beacon Safaris for an incredible time!
