After reading all the reviews why haven’t you booked?
This was an amazing experience! The driver Elas was very knowledgeable of the area and had a great eye! Just in two days we saw everything Serengeti had to offer with wild life. Then there was the food… it was amazing! We had full course meals when other groups had box lunches haha. The camping was clean and we even were visited by zebras the last night. I had booked this as an add on after Kilimanjaro and this was such a surprise. I’ll definitely be coming back for a larger safari with this company.
Outside of the safari I was given a 1:1 briefing where they came to my hotel I was staying at. I didn’t have binoculars so my briefer John picked up a rental for me to use. I misjudged how far Moshi was to Arusha so decided to get a hotel here vs the one I booked in Moshi. The team was very helpful and got me a room and arranged my airport travel the next day.

An adventure to remember.
From start to finish Lulu from Sacred Wilderness took care of everything. Even though she remained in Arusha, behind the scenes she made sure everything was okay. Our game rangers looked after us so well too. After a hard drive, at times very dusty, you will find a clean vehicle the next morning and always enough water on board. For future travellers- be prepared for an adventure but also for some long days in the seat. The latter can be rewarded with amazing wildlife sightings, but bare in mind- it is not a zoo. Anyone with an adventurous spirit will have a wonderful time.

Excellent communication and planning both before and during the tour
Simbaland was very well organized and responsive to all questions. Their communication was superb both before and during the tour. They were also very flexible when plans changed. Abdul was an excellent, experienced and knowledgeable tour guide who I could tell was passionate about leading safaris. The accommodations were also very nice and comfortable. The tour was excellent value for the money. I highly recommend Simbaland for safari tours.

Professional with a pretty timely communication record
It was wonderful. My group was able to see what we sought out to!! - a lot of credit given to Inspired feet. I.F/Joseph (our driver) took us to all the places where the big 5 animals would be found along with a perfect trip cap (and coincidentally a mountain cap)…seeing Mount Kilimanjaro! While the camps weren’t the most luxurious, they are a perfect representation of what you pay for. Also, in order to get the true safari experience, inspired feet sets you up in camps where you live with just enough resources to feel like you are camping with a combination of safety and contentment. The only thing I will say, and I don’t know or think this is an inspired feet doing, be prepared to do a lot of boring sitting in the car traveling between parks.

A fantastic trip
A grand adventure we had for 19 days with Julius. We chose to do a mid price accommodation tour that involved over 7 parks and circumnavigating Uganda. All accommodations were beautiful and safe. The hosts were gracious and very helpful. I cannot speak highly enough of Julius. He was kind, very knowledgeable and incredibly patient. Despite some literal bumps in the road he was always calm and willing to make adjustments, a great representative of the company. We had a fantastic time, some great laughs and even better memories. Thank you DAV

Great Safari Deal
Shaban is an amazing guide. He was totally focused on our comfort and what we wanted throughout the trip. He was always punctual, treated us kindly and professionally. The 4x4 offroad vehicle was comfortable and suitable for a safari as it had good clearance, great suspension, working AC, wide view windows, a pop roof and really comfortable seats for the offroad.
The animals, landscapes and nature were fantastic. We were also very happy with the accommodations and meals and the quality of service in the lodges that we stayed in.
It's a really a great deal for my family.

A truly unforgettable 6-day safari
From the start, Elijah was incredibly helpful and responsive. He took great care to tailor the trip to our needs, from working within our budget to accommodating lodge changes. His clear communication and flexibility made the whole planning process feel easy and reassuring.
But it was our guide Alex who truly made the trip extraordinary. From day one, he welcomed us with warmth and enthusiasm. Over the course of six days, he became so much more than a guide; he was a teacher, storyteller, and wonderful travel companion. He shared not only his deep knowledge of wildlife but also gave us insight into Kenyan culture, its people, and even taught (read, tried to teach) us a few words of Swahili.
He went above and beyond to make sure we got the most out of every day adjusting the itinerary as we went to suit our pace, interests, and energy. His kindness, curiosity, and good humour made every moment feel meaningful. He brought so much heart to the experience, and we learned more than we ever expected. We feel incredibly lucky to have shared this journey with someone so passionate and generous.
Asante sana, Alex — you’re a kind soul and an amazing guide. We won’t forget you.

Incredible 4 Day Safari in Masai Mara
It was an incredible Safari for us two with Beacon Safari to Masai Mara. We stayed three nights at the Maisha Camp and it was the best we could do! Everything was perfekt and it was an absolutely outstanding experience!
Our driver Carlos was a great guide with an excellent knowledge about the animals and it was a pleasure to be with him during our journey.
We saw a lot of animals and we could take a lot of great pictures. Especially the baby animals were very cute. We would love to repeat that journey some day.
Thanks to Carlos and also Robert, who organized everything well. It was very uncomplicated to book - we finally paid the journey in the same week the safari started, 3 or 4 days before. That was possible because we transfered the money though an online money transfer service where the money arrives within minutes.
The communication started some month before and it was quick and without problems. Robert gave us a lot of different offers as we asked him for many different lodges in masai mara and also privat conservancies. Everything is possible. Robert will arrange it!
Why we finally chose Beacon?
It is a very serious company, experienced and the prices are totally fair and compared to others even cheap wirhout loosing quality. So we can totally recommend Beacon Safari!
