Outstanding Safari to Masai-Mara
I made a last-minute decision to go on a safari to Kenya. After inquiring with several companies, I decided to use Beacon Safaris because Robert was very fast to reply to my emails and made sure to mold my solo trip to my needs. Upon arrival, I was met by John at the airport. John made sure my trip was was outstanding. He knows what he is doing! His knowledge of the animals, birds, and plants is amazing. Masai-Mara is a special place. You will not forget the first time you see a lion just ten feet away from you. Bring plenty of memory for your camera. I knew before I left that I will be returning to Masai-Mara and I will be using Beacon Safaris. I will also be requesting that John takes me on my next trip. I have several friends and relatives that want to go with me next time.

This was an amazing and totally awesome and unforgettable experience
From my first inquiry, Robert was absolutely wonderful. Even when I changed the date, he was most accommodating. He was patient with waiting for my deposit until a secure portal was available. I simply could not have asked for better service. The safari itself was the best the four of us have ever been on. Eustus was by far an amazing guide. We saw the big five the first day. He spotted animals from such a long distance that to us it seemed humanly impossible, but time and time again he did it. It was an unforgettable time.

3 Day Taste of Masai Mara Safarie
Greetings. I wanted to give a big shout out to Beacon Safaris and our awesome guide John Jackson. We were 2 ladies traveling alone from the USA. Every part of the safari exceeded our expectations. From Robert helping book & select our tour to John being a very fun and an informative guide. We felt 100% satisfied with our accommodations, 100% safe and 100% over joyed with every minute we spent in the Masai. John suggested for us to take the hot air balloon ride, it was the pentacle of our trip!! Very few times do I want to return to a vacation spot....but Kenya and all its beauty & lovely people make me want to plan another trip as soon as I can!!! Blessing to all at Beacon Safaris!

Kenya Unveiled - at the heart of the people and wildlife
You know when you have made the right decision when your 12 and 14 year old sons on day 2 say to you..."mum this is the best holiday ever!!!" This was in the middle of the Masai Mara up close and personal with the raw wildlife! Our guide Kenneth from Beacon Safaris was fantastic! From the moment we met him at Nariobi Airport and he gave us a welcoming friendly big smile I knew we were in good hands. Not only did we feel safe throughout the whole 7 day safari but Kenneth was a fountain of knowledge and information which really enriched our experience. We chose the Kenyan Premier Safari - 6 nights across 3 of the best Safari Parks in Kenya including the Masai Mara, Lake Nakura and Amboselli - a great mix of differences between the parks and the variety of animals plus a great way to really see the diversity of the Kenyan countryside from dry plains to wet hills to the many lakes. For our family this was a brilliant, raw and non-manufactured or commerical safari experience, one we will never forget!!! Thankyou Beacon Safaris and Kenneth our guide for taking us on this great adventure - we were blown away!

9 Day Magical Kenya
My husband and I just returned on Sunday from Africa and are already missing it. At the end of May-June 6th we were with Kenneth and had the best time. We visited Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli, and Tsavo (east and west). Each park was wonderful in different ways, and Ken did an amazing job of telling us about the parks, animals, and getting us to amazing spots. We saw SO MANY elephants, zebras, giraffe, hippos, Topi, Impala and even several Lions. The best was seeing two leopards, a herd of Rhino, and a few cheetahs. I even left my Ipad at the hotel in Nairobi and Robert and his team were able to get it back to me! Robert was quick and responsive with emails and the itinerary was great. Some of the hotels were only okay, but that was due more to a constraint on our budget as opposed to their planning. If you can spend a little more to stay in a place better than the Voi Safari Lodge, I would. I would (and already have) recommended going to Kenya and using Beacon.

Go on Safari with Anthony from Beacon
We love Anthony!! we have had the very best experience with Beacon safaris. Anthony picked us up right on time and we drove all the way to the Massai Mara. The car was very comfortable and Anthony is very safe and excellent driver. Our itinerary was massai Mara national Park, Amboseli National park and Lake Nakuru national Park. We stayed in wonderful hotels with breathtaking views which was just amazing. Anthony made sure we saw all big five and much, much more. He’s very smart and experienced and told us all about the animals what we wanted to know. We found out he was very well-connected to the other guides so whenever there was an animal spotted, they talk with walkie-talkies to each other, and Anthony brought us there to see the animals. My brother and my soon to be sister-in-law got engaged in the Massai Mara and Anthony organized some flowers on the bed in the hotel for them which was very kind. We have had truly the best experience with beacon, and especially with Anthony and we are so very lucky to have had the time of our lives with him. Make sure to book with Beacon Safari and don’t forget a good tip.
Thanks again and we can’t recommend this experience enough .

The whole schedule and experience is very good!
The whole trip was great! There were some small problems in communication because of the poor level of English. But our guide was very patient and professional and showed us a lot of animals!

Excellent Safari! Excellent Guide!
I selected and compared several safaris companies at very first, like one month before departure. After reviewing the itinerary and comparing the price and accommodation and etc. , I decided to choose Beacon. I did make a wise decision.
Robert always replied me quickly and answered my questions clearly and thoroughly. He provided me a quite good price compared with other companies.
Daniel was chosen to be our 6-day tour's guide and we were very lucky to have Daniel to be our guide. He is quite kind, friendly, enthusiastic and professional. During 6 days, he tried his best to let us to see many many animals, including big five! Especially at Masai Mara, he drove over 50km to Masai Triangle for taking us to see leopard, which is very very rare. Also he would like to hear what we want to do and try to make our trip flexible. Many thanks to Daniel and he gave us a wonderful Kenyan Safari tour. I definitely recommend him to be your Safari guide.

Perfect Support in planning and even with our Visa troubles. Many thanks to Robert for that.
Also the Tour was perfectly organised and we had wonderful Lodges. Daniel, our Guide was very engaged and got the best out of our trip. He did a great job. He also listened to our wishes and showed us Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru National Parks.
We do recommend Beacon Safaris to any persons interested in an exciting Safari with excellent Organisation.
