Spectacular 3-day Masai Mara safari with Carlos at Beacon Safaris
CARLOS was our amazing guide on our 3-day safari in Masai Mara. We took his advice and started at 6:30am on the first day. By 7:30am we had seen a leopard, which is usually rare to spot. By 8:30am we had found a cheetah eating its prey and later followed it as it walked through the savanna. The day went by in a daze, as we spotted lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, gazelles, warthogs, baboons... Carlos was always at the right place at the right time and we lost count of the number of lion families we saw. The most amazing part was spending alone time with the lions, 2 to 3 meters from them, the land cruiser's engine off, with noone else around. Our 2nd day started with the unbelievable sight of a lion painstakingly dragging along a cow it had just killed, stopping every 5 or 6 meters to catch its breath. Carlos was enthusiastic and shared loads of interesting facts. We loved the Enkorok lodge and Robert's organization was absolutely perfect. We felt treated as VIPs and the whole experience was unforgettable. I would strongly recommend booking with Robert at Beacon Safaris and asking for Carlos as a guide, for their professionalism, sound advice, good communication and capacity to deliver beyond expectations.

Incredible Safari experience, 5 days 4 nights
My wife and I agreed that this was one of the best vacations we have ever had. The Sopa lodges were wonderful. Our Safari guide, Daniel was incredible. I called him the "Magic Man." First, he is a fantastic driver, navigating on roads that almost shouldn't be called roads. And his determination to find game was apparent when he veered off the dirt road, raced through tall grass and bushes to put us in the middle of a pride of lions. He made sure we saw the big 5. He even found a leopard in a tree, eating a Thompson Gazelle. We got to within 20 feet of the tree. The most amazing pictures. Daniel made the experience truly memorable.

An experience that exceeded my expectations. Amazing!
The overall experience was amazing. We arranged everything via email less than two weeks before the start of our trip. The responses to the emails were fast, so the short time before our trip started was not a problem. We had a 5 days / 4 nights safari experience, starting with two nights at Masai Mara, 1 night at Lake Nakuru and 1 night at Lake Naivasha. This felt like a good balance between time on the road, time to relax at the hotel and time for game drives.
Our driver was Alex, it was great having him. He was safe on the road, always on time and very friendly, welcoming us with a big smile every day!
The accommodations on our plan were also great. The hotels had always amazing views and all the amenities necessary. The ambiance was amazing, the food was delicious with lots of options, and all the staff were extremely friendly. We stayed at the Sopa Lodge group on all destinations.
The vehicle that we traveled in was a modified Toyota Land Cruiser. There was lots of room and the vehicle was only 1 year old. We had lots of water available at all times included in the pack and available in the car's fridge.
I would definitely recommend Beacon Safaris to anyone looking for a great experience.

Wonderful, Magical, Big 5 in <24 hours on low season
Daniel was our tour guide and was amazing. I have been on numerous safaris but this was my husband's first safari and he was able to see all of the big five and other big cats within the first 24 hours. Daniel made that happen. The entire experience was the best safari I have done even better than Chobe and Kruger. Thank you so much
