The Trip of a Lifetime: Uganda, Gorillas, Chimpanzees & Kenya Safari
Our Uganda and Kenya trip was truly the experience of a lifetime. From the very first contact, communication was excellent: all our questions were answered promptly and professionally, and we always felt well informed throughout the planning process.
We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to Ernest, who helped us design and refine the itinerary from the very beginning. His advice, responsiveness, and willingness to adapt the trip to our interests were invaluable. Thanks to his expertise and attention to our preferences, we were able to create an itinerary that perfectly matched what we were looking for and ultimately exceeded our expectations.
The itinerary was perfectly tailored to our interests, combining chimpanzee tracking, gorilla trekking, and an unforgettable safari in Kenya. Every detail was carefully organized, from transfers and accommodations to permits and activities, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the journey.
The service on the ground was outstanding. The guides were exceptional throughout the trip, combining professionalism, friendliness, and a deep knowledge of the local wildlife and environment. We would especially like to thank Amos, our guide in Uganda, who was simply outstanding. He paid attention to every detail, always made sure everything ran smoothly, and shared an impressive knowledge of the country's wildlife, culture, and landscapes. His professionalism, dedication, and passion for his work greatly enhanced our experience and made our time in Uganda even more memorable.
The accommodations were well chosen and perfectly suited to the journey. While some were more modest, they were always comfortable and appropriate for the destinations visited, and a few of them genuinely exceeded our expectations. We also felt that the trip offered very good value for money considering the quality of the lodges, the logistics involved, and the unique wildlife experiences included.
What we appreciated most was the flexibility of the team and their willingness to adapt the trip to our preferences and needs. Throughout both the planning process and the trip itself, we felt listened to and supported, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable.
We would wholeheartedly recommend this operator to anyone looking for a well-organized, personalized, and memorable East African adventure. Thank you for helping us create such amazing memories in Uganda and Kenya.

Friendly and professional
We had a lovely two-day safari thanks to an excellent guide who was both friendly and professional. All the details were so well organised, it all went like clockwork. A comfortable lodge, stunning scenery and up close with so many animals. Picnic and drinks provided.

Langa and Lucky were both amazing, kind and knowledgeable guides who made the Victoria Falls tour on
The views were breathtaking on both sides, but what made it truly special were our guides.
On the Zimbabwe side, our guide Langa was such an amazing, kind and patient lady - she made sure we saw everything and explained everything so beautifully.
On the Zambia side, our guide Lucky was also an amazing guy - very knowledgeable and friendly.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Victoria Falls. Thank you for making it so memorable

Exceptional service! They saved our trip after a flight disaster. Muli & Benard are the best!
We booked a safari with Africa Celebrity Tours and Travels, and it was the best decision we could have made.
Before the trip, Muli (from management) was incredibly patient, answering all my emails promptly and providing all the necessary documents for our eTA visas. However, the true test of their reliability came when disaster struck: our international flight experienced a mid-air mechanical failure and was completely canceled. We were stranded in another country, delayed by days, and our luggage was delayed too!
This is where Muli truly shined. His communication was instant and reassuring. He calmly helped us restructure our entire itinerary at the very last minute and even assisted with our delayed luggage logistics. His professionalism gave us so much peace of mind during a highly stressful time.
Once we finally arrived in Kenya, the safari itself was flawless. Our driver-guide, Benard, was absolutely phenomenal. He is highly experienced, has eagle eyes for spotting wildlife (we saw everything we wanted and more!), and is a very safe driver. The 4x4 Land Cruiser was comfortable, clean, and perfect for the rough terrain. All the lodges they arranged for us (Serena, Sopa, Sarova) were top-notch.
In terms of value for money, honesty, and service, this company exceeded all expectations. They didn't just sell us a tour; they took care of us like family when we needed it most. If you want a trustworthy, highly capable operator in Kenya, look no further. Thank you, Muli and Benard, for an unforgettable African adventure!

Serengeti shall never die!
(I forgot to attach photos last time, so..
We were extremely happy with the entire safari experience. Everything was well organized, from the daily schedule to the game drives, and the whole trip felt smooth, relaxed, and enjoyable. A big part of that was having Abu as our guide.
Abu is a professional, detail-oriented, and wonderfully polished safari guide — basically the kind of person you want to have with you on the safari.
He was always incredibly punctual and managed our daily schedule really well. The safari vehicle was spotless every single day, which made a surprisingly big difference, especially when you’re spending so much time in the car. And yes, the windows were clean enough that taking photos through the glass was absolutely no problem.
What impressed me most was how much he genuinely cares about the animals. He was always respectful of wildlife, and he had a great sense of where an animal might move next and which angle would give us a clearer view. He’s exactly the kind of guide you want to trust — observant, experienced, calm, and always thinking one step ahead.
And if you’re not a very talkative traveler, Abu is still an excellent companion. He has an impressive collection of extremely dry and wonderfully terrible jokes, so he can keep the silence from getting too awkward. 😂
He’s also apparently quite good at sports… see attached photo for evidence. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone planning a safari.

Excellent! Worked with me to put the exact packagr together we wanted, nothing was to much trouble
I contacted Chrizanne after my tour operator in the UK went into liquidation 3 weeks before we were suppose to travel. Asking if you could help me to rebook the Camps, Hotels and As Dunas.
This Lady went above and beyond what you would consider helping nothing was to much trouble, even managing to book two camps in better locations for us.
I will be going back to Africa in either 27 or 28 and I will have no hesitation in contacting Chrizanne to organise my whole trip.
Thank you again.
The whole experience is unbelievable Botswana has to be visited as a destination. Moremi Crossing and Mma Dinare Camps were in different setting and offered a excellent trips out both by vehicle and boat.
Both Camps had excellent facilities, food excellent and the staff were welcoming and nothing was to much trouble.
Leaving the safaris behind we had 5 night at As Dunas Lodge in Mozamique. The Onwers and Management made everything run smoothly, staff again could not help you enough.
The setting of the lodge overlooking the bay is stunning, every morning your voew from you accommodation is breath taking.
The cuisine here it out of this world every day a different 5 course tasting menu.

Musa Ncube is a very attentative & accommodating tour operator. He listened to our requests & did!
A fantastic team! Everyone we deal with was extremely professional and willing to listen to us and then make it happen. If you are looking for a truly unique Victoria Falls experience then this is the tour company for you. We chose a 4 day package covering Victoria Falls, Chobe National Park and Hwange National Park.
Absolutely Fantastic! Mixed with local content it was a truly unique African experience. Walking with elephants was a major highlight arranged for us.

A professional operator with the ability to arrange bespoke safari tours
I can unreservedly recommend Beacon Safaris. We selected the company based on previous client reviews and I can endorse all the positive comments that others have made.
Our safari objective was not the usual one. We wanted to visit Amboseli National Park, off course to see the magnificent tuskers and other animals, but to focus more specifically on experiencing the park's bird life. We had prompt responses to our requests for information and the company accommodated our specific requests around our budget and for a guide with birding knowledge. Robert's administrative skills ensured things went smoothly. Beacon did all the donkey work, arranging travel, park fees and accommodation. We just pitched up and enjoyed the ride. Thank you, Robert.
I would like to single out Alex, our guide. He was professional, service-orientated and proved to be a valuable resource. He got the little things right. In particular, he struck a good balance between viewing animals and birds, thus ensuring we made the most of our trip and fulfilled our objectives. Alex knew from experience where certain birds were likely to be found and ensured that we covered the different habitats within the park. We ended up birding as a team and the result was most satisfactory. Alex was ideally suited for a bespoke birding safari like the one we had requested.
Being hosted by Beacon was a pleasurable experience. I have already given friends the company's contact details with our endorsement.
