Very good operator! You can trust!
4/5

We went for a 3 days / 2 nights Safaris in the Mara at Basecamp Explorer. Beacon Safaris have planned all the trip for us! We had a great experience with everything (accommodation, meals, etc.) The driver (Antony) is Excellent! He was explaining us a lot about the animals, the Mara, The Maasai people, etc. We really appreciated that he took time to explain us a lot of things during the Safaris!

Good experience with Beacon Safaris
4/5

We had a good experience with Beacon Safaris for a Masai Mara 3-days Safari. The exchanges with Robert during the preparation of the journey were very easy. Our driver and guide Daniel was also very professional and flexible.

Generally good
4/5

Everything is good we saw lots of diferentes kinds of animel. Btw there is a problem of explanation of the fee of restaurant service. It will be better if the restaurant told us what is not included first.

Great experience with a great guide but too high expectations due to safari description
4/5

4 day safari Massai Mara & Lake Nakuru
Sekenani Camp
Flamingo Hill Camp
Safari Van

+ Amazing guide (Eustace) super friendly, super knowledgable, super driver, great personality
+ Everything went according to plan, very reliable
+ Great selection of lodges
+ Clean and tidy vehicle (especially in comparison to some others we saw)

- With the safari description guaranteeing the encounter with all of the big five, our expectations were extremely high and we did end up quite disappointed after not having seen all promised animals. We would recommend some changes to the safari description!

they provide the best service even some problems happened.next time please organised best to avoid.
4/5

we think this safari tour can provide the best arragements for us according our requests. and can communicate us very quickly.but some problems should avoid next time.one is the conflict between the booking domestic flight time and our departure time to Seychelles for the last day. another is the Enkorok Mara Camp booking for us is short of water for 2 days and we can not bear it for 2 days without taking a shower. however they changed a camp finally.

Great Safari
4/5

Great communication before our arrival. During safari the communication with our guide was sometimes difficult, he was more calling with the phone than talking to us. On questions we asked him, he gave us short and not very informative answers.
The accomodations were very good. Perfect hotels with great food.
During the whole tour we felt very secure. Good driver.

2 day tour in Amboseli
4/5

We had a 2 days tour in amboseli from Nairobi. the tour was really nice and everything that was promised when we booked. we managed to see a lot of animals and our driver was very knowledgeable (John).
Don't underestimate the drive when you go there from Nairobi, it's pretty long especially if you arrive back in Nairobi around 5-6pm when the trafic is crazy. The Lodge where we stayed was amazing, Kibo Safari Camp (we enjoyed a lot the staff and the swimming pool).

Safe and Competent Guide

The safari company answered our questions before arrival quickly and throughly. Our guide Ken was extremely knowledgable and an expert on the area. He asked us our expectations and was able to deliver a great safari experience.

Awesome Kenyan safari experience
4/5

We had a private customized 9-day Kenyan safari starting in the last week of June . Visited Samburu, Ol Pajeta, Aberdares, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara. Accomodation (in tented camps & lodges) and vehicle (4 x 4 with hatch top) were good.(excepting some minor house-keeping issues at Ashnil Mara). We are deeply appreciative of Mr. Robert(who communicated and co-ordinated the itinerary efficiently) and especially to our guide cum-driver-- Mr. Anthony Gitau (who was knowledgeable, lively, cheerful, prompt, adaptive and skillful) for giving us an awesome , safe and enjoyable trip and helping us to see the beauty of Africa at it's best. We were fortunate to witness the wilderbeest migration and crossing of the Mara river, the Big Five and a host of other birds and animals thanks to Anthony's sharp and swift tracking skills. We highly recommend Beacon safaris.

tour was successful due to Robert professionalism & David as very good guide making all efforts
4/5

Communications - Robert was prompt though occasionally had to remind about changed itinerary & dates.
Commercial Dealing - Professional & fair .
Accommodation - All accommodations were as per commitment as per expectations . For Arc lodge ; rooms could have been close to observation deck .
Vehicle - Could have been more comfortable with adjustable seats & good upholstery.
Guide - David is good driver . Makes all efforts . Disciplined. Has knowledge about animals , birds .
Overall Safari tour was up to expectation except that we did not get chance to see a leopard though David made efforts .
While planning tour to Kenya ; one may avoid going Lake Nakaru . One must take tour at Lake Naivasha .
