Excellent service and communication
Wonderful safari experience. Easy booking and excellent communication. All ran very smoothly. Nothing was too much trouble. All accommodation during the safari was of a high standard (sopa lodges). We booked weeks safari and our guide, Joseph, was brilliant. He was polite, punctual and very knowledgeable. What a fabulous guy. The experience was worth every penny and I highly recommend Beacon Safaris.

Above & beyond Safari experience
What an amazing experience, can’t thank Kanje enough. Brilliantly organised, tailored to our requirements and competitively priced. The hotels were all fantastic, the food amazing and the country stunning. But the biggest accolade was our tour guide Johnson who went above and beyond to make our trip completely perfect. Tirelessly patient with all our chatter and endless questions, he was extraordinarily knowledgeable about wildlife and all things Tanzanian and beyond. He was so friendly, nothing was too much trouble and he shared our excitement at seeing some rare sightings. Request him for your tour, you won’t be disappointed - what a star!
Tanzania certainly lived up to its reputation for having the richest wildlife in Africa; we saw a leopard within the first hour of our first game drive, followed by all the big five numerous times over, every native animal and their babies and many wonderful birds too. Up close and personal with lions 3m from our jeep, elephants surrounding us, curious giraffes in droves, zebras crossing the road in front of us and baboons everywhere, not to mention the incredible wildebeest migration that was just continuous!
Our tour included 3 days in Serengeti, the Ngorongoro crater (highly recommend), lake Manyara, Tarangire and Arusha National Parks. We also did an amazing hot air balloon ride with bush breakfast (highly recommend) and a walking safari. Particularly loved the Lahia hotel in the Serengeti and Maramboi lodge at Lake Manyara, both had stunning settings and were the height of luxury.

My trip was fantastic and first safari experience
My trip was amazing. It was my first time visiting Kenya and as a solo traveler i was a bit nervous about the trip. But Bison Safaris made my trip an easy one. Starting from the airport pick up until the drop off it was smooth and everything was tailored to my liking and needs. The team was amazing during my visit specifically Maggie and my tour guide, they were both helpful, friendly and great people.

David Forbes is a deeply knowledgable, enthusiastic, dedicated, funny, warm, wonderful safari guide!
We had the most amazing five days with David Forbes of Ukhozi Tours in August 2021, first in Kruger National Park and then at a fantastic lodge in a private reserve nearby.
He found the ideal camp in Kruger, catered and cooked our meals and deftly drove us around the park for thrilling wildlife sightings, including a litter of indescribably adorable hyena puppies.
One day he heard a distant trumpeting sound and led us to a stunning standoff between a bloat of 17 hippos and a herd of elephants.
He shared his deep knowledge and appreciation of the natural world and his wonderful sense of humor.
You will have the time of your life if you can take a tour with David.

2 Day Tarangier / Ngorongoro crater safari
Our trip was booked through Herman who was great in sorting out the trip we wanted, We had Joshua as our guide who was very informative throughout our drive, the vehicle was a 4x4 off road that had a roof that lifted and viewing all around, pick up was at 8am as advised from our hotel, we stopped to pick up our pack lunch along the way which was very good, we did a full days game drive before heading to our lodge for the night,
The room was clean and tidy with a double bed, shower and towels,
The food for the evening was was great and lots of it, the following morning we had breakfast at 7:30 which was eggs how ever you wanted them with sausage and local foods, plus fruit, our next drive was another full day before being taken back to our own hotel which arrived aback around 7:30pm, we was extremely lucky during our drives to see the big 5 as well as lots of other animals,
An amazing trip all round thank you :-))
