Outstanding customer service, superior guide
When you deal with Beacon, you have the rare opportunity to deal directly with the owner--Robert. He was prompt, patient and deliberate in all our conversations. He went the extra mile with being flexible to accommodate our schedules and put together a perfect safari experience in three national parks making each safari incrementally better. Our hotel accommodations were exceptional and the food was so good.
Our guide, Antony, was superior in his skills, demeanor and knowledge. I told Antony he has the eyes of an eagle, the heart of a lion and the memory of an elephant. Not only did we see all of the big five, but we were often the first on the scene. We saw two lion kills within minutes of their occurrences. We were a few yards from 5 cheetahs and a leopard. We were so close to animals and he was do good about putting up in perfect positions to secure outstanding photographs. The other guides were constantly asking for his assistance. His skills are so exceptional he can find animals others were driving by. He tried so hard to please us and make our experience a once in the lifetime event. It was. The depth of his knowledge is so vast. He will give you facts with stories that only a seasoned professional who loves his job can give. When he doesn't know the answer, he will admit it and promise to get back to you with the correct answer. If you want the best safari--go with Beacon. If you want one the top guides in Kenya--ask for Antony. Our family will love and cherish the fun and excitement for the rest of our lives.

Mugenyi Bob is honest, entertaining, and a very competant driver. We loved his guuide services.
Bob took us to Murchison Falls. and National Park. As a driver, he excells in service. He sized us up and tailored the tour to our interests (photography) (Animals) and our age and physical abilities. He then took great care that we had fun. We felt safe and wonderfully entertained. Bob taught us about the animals, the culture, the history and answered our questions without hesitation. He worked well with the park guide we hired. We had an awesome tour. He also helped us with currency exchange and watched that we were not taken advantage of in purchases. Bob has a great knowledge of all the National Parks and we enjoyed his teaching. He is totally trustworthy.

Wonderful safari experience with Antony!
My family and I went on a 6 day safari through Beacon, and we only have great things to say about the experience! Beacon was helpful and flexible with us during the booking process, and our guide, Antony was excellent. I went on safari with another company recently, and the guide did not even begin to compare to Antony. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly patient. I highly recommend Beacon and suggest you request Antony as your guide!

Richard and Allen created and guided us through 2 weeks of unforgettable experiences.
All of our questions and queries were answered promptly and accurately, and that was before we made our booking. We had lots of questions in the weeks running up to our departure - and nothing was too much for them to bother answering.
We are hugely thankful to Shoebill Safaris for organising and guiding us around an amazing 2 week trip in Uganda. Weeks later we are all still smiling at our memories. Apart from the birding our highlights were the gorillas and leopards - things to remember forever. I remember how delighted we were with the birds we saw in the botanical gardens on our first day - we had no idea what was to come. RIchard can literally charm the birds from the trees. Every day there was something new an wonderful to smile at.
Our accommodation was beautiful - the lodges clean and tidy - all vey different experiences, serving delicious food. 4 of us travelled and no upset tummies.
We will definitely be back. Thank you

Great experience!
We had a great experience, from sorting things out with Lennox - regarding costs, transportation, schedule, services included – to the actual tour. I joined the three-day safari, and everything was great: pick up and drop out on time, food, and the accommodation at Lechanda camp was really clean and comfortable. Our drive, Joshua, was really knowledgeable and patiently answered all of our questions. We managed to see the big five and much more in just one day! I totally recommend!

Exciting and amazing
People's choice is indeed the best choice. My East African tour to Uganda and Zamzibar was a great one. Memories will ever remain. The cool weather in Kabale after gorilla trekking in Bwindi and Mgahinga was great. Eco resort also gave us a conducive atmosphere and made my stay enjoyable. Queen Elizabeth national park has good adventures and once there, you can't think of leaving. Three days there were not enough. Our guide Mr Okoth and Andrew our driver were great friends and we got along with them well. Thank you People's choice tours for the well organized trip. I look forward to come again next year.

Experience of a lifetime
The trip surpassed expectations.
Amazing scenery, horses and staff.
Andrews knowledge and help couldn't have been better. Camp life was so well managed by the girls. But , the stars, are the horses!
I would recommend to any of my horsey friends without hesitation.

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing
My dad and I had the most amazing and unforgettable safari trip in Tanzania and we owe it to SED Adventures! More specifically to Elifasi who helped us plan our trip and to Anton who started out as just our (wonderful) guide but then ended as so much more! We will never forget this trip or you guys. I promise I'll be back!

Professional and always accessible
It can be overwhelming when looking for a company to book a safari, but luckily I read many great reviews on Matoke tours and am very happy I used them for my trip to Tanzania. They are always very quick to respond to any inquiries, check in on you during your safari and everyone on the team was very professional and made you feel like more than just a customer. The tour itself was AMAZING, our tour guide Gabriel was very knowledgeable, taught us not only about wildlife but also culture and the way of life in Tanzania. Accommodations were great, but we especially loved Tortilis camp in the Serengeti, the staff there were fantastic. Thank you Matoke for an unforgettable adventure!
