Beacon Safaris provided us an Amazing trip...Start to finish
From the Arrival to departure Beacon provided all we needed for a most wonderful trip. Ms. Winnie in the office took care of everything from our pickup at our arrival flight, flight between the 2 Parks to booking us a hotel for our last night. She is a great communicator and there was nothing we didnt know about before hand. We were picked up from the airport and our Guide Harun drove us to Amboseli to our accommodations. He was great and took us through Amboseli Park. He was great! The truck was clean and comfortable, he knew where the various wildlife were and we saw 9 Cheetahs during that time aside from many other creatures! We then had a flight to Masai Mara where our Guide Carlos picked us up. He made us feel very comfortable as we toured the Park. It is an incredible place. The wildlife was beautiful from the Lions to a Leopard..the Leopard we saw the very last day sitting in a tree and Carlos found that spot! Carlos is awesome guide! We could not have been in better hands. This was our 50th Anniversary and all those at Beacon made us feel very welcome! Everything was well arranged. The trip was awesome and worth every dollar! we can't thank them enough for this unforgettable adventure!!!!!!

Spot on organisation
“The organization and the trip were arranged wonderfully. All the game drives were truly memorable thanks to our amazing guide Alex, who did his best to show us everything. This is definitely an agency we will travel with again.”
Professional, communicated all very fast and very friendly communication. All requests were fulfiled
Very reliable and professional communication, skilled driver/guide and good vehicles. Value/money good as well. Our guide Karlos really took an effort showing us Massai Mara and Nakuru, and did not make big problem since we were late every day in the morning :)

A Seamless, Spectacular Safari That Surpassed Every Expectation
We are a group of seven ladies who recently completed a tour with Beacon Safari, travelling through the Great Mara, the Mara River, the Mara Triangle overlooking the Serengeti, and onward to Lake Naivasha for a boat and walking safari. From start to finish, this trip surpassed every expectation in every possible way.
Our guide, Alex, was exceptional throughout. He was consistently informative, polite, and attentive, ensuring every detail of our experience was thoughtfully managed. His deep knowledge of the region meant he always knew the best times and the best places to take us, giving us the flexibility to see all the wildlife we hoped for — lions, elephants, rhino, giraffe, zebra, hippo, buffalo, cheetah, and a beautiful variety of antelope, all up close. These unforgettable moments were possible because Alex understands the land and its rhythms with remarkable skill.
The truck was extremely comfortable, making long days in the bush enjoyable and relaxed. The accommodation arranged by Beacon Safari was equally impressive: Sopa Lodge Masai Mara and Sopa Lodge Lake Nakuru were excellent, offering comfort, great service, and stunning views that added so much to the overall experience.
Beacon Safari’s communication was outstanding from beginning to end. Every question was answered promptly, every request handled with care, and every detail organised flawlessly. The company’s attention to detail was evident in every part of the journey — from logistics, to timing, to ensuring we were always comfortable, safe, and well looked after.
Alex himself kept the truck spotlessly clean, took immense pride in his work, and brought warmth and humour to each day. His professionalism, kindness, and patience made us feel completely supported throughout the trip. It is rare to encounter someone who blends expertise and genuine care so seamlessly.
Beacon Safari delivered a safari that was not only memorable, but truly exceptional. The combination of superb guiding, comfortable transport, excellent lodges, flexible planning, and meticulous attention to detail created an experience we will treasure for a lifetime.
We cannot praise Beacon Safari — and especially Alex — highly enough.

An unforgettable adventure - our tailored safari & birdwatching tour was simply fantastic
This was my second trip with Beacon Safaris, this time with my sister and a friend. Communication was easy and Robert had tailored the 8-day-program according to our wishes: from Nairobi to Naivasha, Nakuru, Kakagamega Forest and Masai Mara, including birdwatching. Our guide Alex was amazing! You cannot wish for a better companion on a safari. He is super friendly and knowledgable and was always happy to answer our questions. Alex knows his birds and mammals very well and would always stop and point out animals to us. We easily spotted the Big Five in a week and also well over a hundred bird species. Kakamega Forest is a wonderful place for birding and a local birding guide took us on several walks to see incredible birds such as the Blue Turaco and many more. All our accommodations were really nice, with Mtito Camp and Rondo Retreat sticking out as truly unique. Beautiful locations and very friendly, committed staff. Obviously a tailored safari has its price but the amazing week we spent watching Kenya's marvellous wild- and birdlife with Alex was worth every cent and much more. We will cherish it for the rest of our lives. I can only recommend Beacon Safaris to everyone looking for a perfectly organised safari with a brilliant guide.

Great Safari Experience
My wife and I booked two separate 3 day/2 night Safari’s through Beacon Safaris.
The first Safari was a drive in from Nairobi to Amboseli with our guide, Carlos. Carlos was an excellent driver who seamlessly navigated the park and communicated with other guides to maximize the number and variety of animals we observed within the park. He was also very knowledgeable about the animals and their habits.
Although the roads in Amboseli are quite rough and dusty, we found the experience to be well worth it.
We flew in to our second safari from Nairobi to the Maasi Mara, and were met by our guide, Alex. Alex was also an excellent guide, university, educated in animal tourism, and was very adapted finding the animals which was a bit more challenging than on our previous Safari. We ended up seeing four of the big five as well as the beginning of the great migration of animals coming from Serengeti to the Massi Mara.
We highly recommend Beacon Safaris in their guides as they were competent, knowledgeable, prompt, and very friendly.

Amazing experience
We just returned from an incredible safari adventure booked through BeaconSafari, and the entire experience was flawless from start to finish.
The booking process and communication with Robert were super smooth; he was incredibly professional and ensured every detail was cleared up before we even left, which gave us total peace of mind.
A huge thank you to our guide, Antony, who truly went above and beyond to make this an unforgettable trip. Not only was he a smooth and safe driver, but he was also incredibly mindful of the wildlife and possessed a wealth of knowledge about the animals, Kenyan history, and the local landscape. He even took the time to share helpful tips for our stay at the Sopa Lodge, which really enhanced our experience.
If you are looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring team for your safari, we cannot recommend BeaconSafari highly enough!
