5-day Safari in Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru
Me and wife wanted to do something special for our honeymoon and decided to go for a Safari in Kenya and later head to the coast. We live in Finland and firstly thought to organize our honeymoon through local travel agencies. However, since the offers seemed so overpriced we decided to organize it on our own. We went through several trip alternatives and related reviews on Safaribookings and I ended up contacting two safari operators. Robert at Beacon Safaris was very responsive and helpful when we pondered where to go and for how long. Initially, we thought of going to Amboseli and the Tsavos, and end the trip at the coast. This was because we had been told and read online that wildlife is scarce in Maasai Mara in January and because we were going to the coast anyway for the latter part of our trip. Yet, as I told Robert that we were keen to see the Big Five, especially lions, elephants and leopards, Robert encouraged us to go to Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru instead.
And what a great recommendation it was! We definitely got lucky to spot the Big Five 5 already in Maasai Mara, but we also had an excellent tour guide, Eric, who really went the extra mile for us. He genuinely wanted us to see the Big Five and knew where to look for the rarest wildlife, i.e. leopard and black rhino. We also saw cheetahs and hyenas in addition to the more common gazelles, zebras, giraffes, wilderbeest and ostriches. These were then accompanied with spotting the white rhino in Lake Nakuru, several birds and monkeys. In both national reserves we saw lions from close distance and witnessed them passing by our Jeep in Lake Nakuru. Moreover, not only did Eric know where to spot animals, he also knew a ton of facts about them and was very nice, responsive and social throughout the whole trip. And as our Safari came to end he made sure we got into the right plane at Wilson Airport since we had booked that also on our own.
The entire experience with Beacon Safaris was very pleasant and all our queries before booking were answered. The communication also remained on par once he made the initial payments and at no point had we the impression that something would be wrong with our booking. After the safari, we also reached out to Robert to organize a city tour and dinner between our flights on our way home which he also nicely organized.
The Sarova lodges in Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru were nice and the food in both places was delicious.
Finally, the migration to and from Maasai Mara in the european summer months does not mean there are no animals in Maasai Mara, but it mostly concerns the wilderbeest. The big five is there also in the dry season and since the grass is low it is even easier to spot animals. Moreover, there is less water available hence an experecienced tour guide such as Eric knows where animals go for drinking during the day.
We sincerely thank Beacon Safaris for making this a trip to remember! We think we took a risk by organizing the entire trip own on our, but it paid off handsomely!

Odyssey Safari was more than I even hoped for. Every detail was taken care of and excellent!
The Safari from beginning to end was more than I even hoped for. Every detail was taken care of. The staff accommodations and everything in between was first class. As an American it was top of the line in Kenya Africa the way I wanted it to be. The Safaris did not disappoint. Saw all these different animals in their environment which was breathtaking. Many of the animals even crossed our paths.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone that is interested in the Safari. You will not be disappointed in any area of the trip.

Amazing guide
Well organized, the guide (Joshua) we had was amazing. He looked out for any animal out there and was all the time very attentive. The budget option accommodation was a little tent village, value for money. The whole team very understanding about any issued that may arise. Happy with our trip.

A company that provides an excellent service with fantastic personal touch.
Migada Adventures Ltd is a Company that I would always and strongly recommend to anyone wishing to visit Tanzania and other countries in Africa for different safari adventures. The overall management of our safari package was far beyond our expectations. Excellent job, exellent teamwork. In short it was simply fabulous. We had one of the Migada's best Guide/Driver, Mr. Laurence, who made our safari experience unforgottable for the rest of our lives. We thank Migada Adventures Ltd for the bonus Arusha City tour and dinner as well as a close follow up during the whole safari trip. God bless Migada team and I wish you the best in the future.
