Everything well done!
Good communication before travelling.
Our guide/driver (Harun) has been helpfull and kind: moreover he knew all about animals and their behaviour. We watched the "big 5" and many other animals... very close!
We will remember these 8 days of Safari forever!
We recommend this tour operator.

Well organized trip with prompt response.
I had an incredible 8-day safari with Beacon Safari, perfectly tailored to my needs. Before the trip, I was slightly worried—based on some reviews—about whether they could secure the accommodations I wanted on time. I’m happy to say those concerns were completely unnecessary. Robert was promtly responsive via email, even after I paid the deposit, and everything went exactly as planned.
I especially want to recommend our guide, Carlos. He’s cheerful, friendly, open minded, thoughtful and especially a sophisticated “rally”driver. Throughout the trip, he used his experienced safari knowledge for explaining us all the animals we saw, meanwhile he was constantly keeping up with all guides to track the latest animal sightings, going above and beyond to make sure we didn’t miss a thing. Thanks to his dedication and care, our experience was unforgettable. If you’re heading to Kenya, I highly recommend requesting Carlos as your guide!

Wonderful safari!!
Beacon Safari is a great company!
We booked very easily and they have a good price. Because our flight had been cancelled just before depart, our safari had to be adusted.
Elaine from Beacon Safari was easily to contact and she made a new planning for us. So we could have the best safari possible.
Our guide Eustus was amazing! Very friendly and he has learned us so much about Kenya, all the animals and nature. We had the best time possible and a lot of laughs together!
We had a stay in Amboseli Sopa Lodge and this was also very good.
Can recommand Beacon Safari 100% or sure!

5/5 – An unforgettable 4-day Big 5 dream safari in Masai Mara & Lake Nakuru!
My girlfriend and I just returned from a perfect 4-day safari in Kenya, and we are still on cloud nine. This trip exceeded every expectation we had – it was truly magical from start to finish, especially since it felt like the perfect extension of our honeymoon.
We began with the breathtaking landscapes and flamingo-covered shores of Lake Nakuru, where we saw white rhinos, giraffes, tree-climbing lions, and thousands of birds painting the lake pink. Then came the highlight: two full days in the iconic Masai Mara. Over multiple game drives (early mornings, late afternoons, and everything in between), we encountered the Big 5 several times: around 15 lions, enormous elephants, huge buffalo herds, several black rhinos, and – most memorably – two leopards that we spotted together on the honeymoon. Seeing them so close, moving gracefully through the grass side by side, felt incredibly special and intimate – a moment we’ll never forget as a couple.
The sheer abundance of wildlife and the golden savannah scenery were straight out of a dream. We also watched massive hippo pods in the river and crossed paths with countless other incredible animals.
What elevated this experience from great to extraordinary was our fantastic driver/guide Harun. He was simply outstanding: deeply knowledgeable about animal behavior, tracks, and the best vantage points; always patient, cheerful, and incredibly attentive to what we wanted (extra time for photos, toilet breaks, even a lunch picnic). His driving was superb on those rough tracks, he kept us completely safe, and he made every drive fun and personal. Harun turned what could have been “just” an amazing safari into a deeply memorable, heartfelt adventure for us as a couple. We laughed a lot, learned so much, and felt truly looked after the entire time.
The accommodations were comfortable, well-positioned, with excellent food and hot showers after dusty days – exactly what we needed. The vehicle was spotless and reliable, and the whole trip was flawlessly organized.
We can’t recommend this experience (and especially Harun!) highly enough. Thank you for giving us the adventure of a lifetime – we’ll be back!

Professional, flexible, well-organized safari operator.
We had a great time during our 5-day safari in Kenya organized by Beacon Safaris. We stayed at the Serena Lodges in Masai Mara and Amboseli. Beacon Safaris organized everything. We flew to Masa Mara and were received by Anthony. Anthony was a great guide and really showed us everything that the Mara offers. We go out twice a day. Early in the morning and late in the afternoon in Beacon's Land Cruisers. We flew to Amboseli and were received by Daniel, which was also a great guide. Amboseli is different than the Mara, however it has its charm of its own. From Nairobi to the Mara and from the Mara to Amboseli we flew with Mombasa Airlines. Great little planes and you get to see a lot of the countryside. From Amboseli we drove back to Nairobi. We did an additional safari with Beacon to the Nairobi National Park and also had a great guide, Alex. The main attraction is to see the white rhinos, which we saw 10. Overall, a very good experience.

Everything was perfect, from the smooth reservation process to the complete safari experience.
“An amazing experience! The reservation process was easy, with several options to choose from, and payment was made via bank transfer. Special thanks to our guide Alex — the communication was just right: informative and engaging when needed, and at other times he gave us space to relax without being intrusive, which is rare in tourist areas.
The vehicle was clean and well maintained. Alex made a real effort to help us see as much as possible, and we managed to spot a huge variety of animals. Even though he showed us a lot, he never pressured the animals — for example, after showing us a cheetah, he suggested leaving it alone to rest. We truly appreciated this approach.
The hotel was excellent — food, bed, and service were all great. We traveled as a couple on a private tour.”
