4 Days Masai Mara - Lake Nakuru Tour
We had a great time on a 4 day safari for two with Beacon Safaris and would definitely recommend to others. Robert was always very quick to reply and helpful with responses to our questions during the arranging of the tour. Being able to pay by PayPal was also a big plus for us. Eustus was our guide for the tour and we thought he was excellent, always on time, always helpful and knowledgeable in answering our questions and a lovely guy. He was brilliant at spotting the wildlife and working our way around the park on our own rather than with lots of other vehicles meaning we saw a lot of the wildlife without other vehicles around. The accommodation and food was very nice and everything went very smoothly. Overall we were very happy with our experience with Beacon Safaris.

Great first safari experience thanks to Beacon Safaris and specially to John, our guide!
I discovered this company in safarybookings.com, I booked with them because of the good reviews I read, and I'm so happy I did it. Since the first email, Robert perfectly adapted the 4 day Massai Mara - Lake Nakuru safari to our needs and acted all the time in a really professional way. And when we arrived we were so lucky to have John as a guide, friendly, informative and so skilled! It was amazing his knwoledge of the parks and the animals, when we asked him to find some animal he always managed to do it, and the best moment was when he took us to the place where we were going to see the great wildeebeest migration crossing the Mara river... We couldn''t know how, he already knew the place were the animals were going to cross, and we were the first ones in the spot, in the best place to see it and take photos...increcible! A experience we won't forget, and we are sure it would not have been the same without John. Thank you Beacon Safaris!

Wonderful Safari - Experience of a lifetime
We went on a four day safari of Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru with Beacons Safari. From the beginning, our experience of Beacons Safari has been outstanding. Responses to our emails by Robert were always extremely quick, professional and courteous. He showed great flexibility e.g. greeting and picking us from airport at the early hours of 3.30AM. But the main reason that our Safari was exciting, interesting, fun, informative and an unforgettable experience was our guide John. John was very knowledgeable, very enthusiastic, very keen (and one with a fantastic eye sight!) - making sure that we see, hear and experience the beautiful wildlife of Kenya! We saw the Big Fives, the Cheetahs, the Crocodiles and also the fabulous Wildebeests Migration – the Mara river crossings! Thanks John!! All our logistics and accommodations by Beacons were just perfect – making our Safari truly memorable – the best ever holidays for my family and I.

Exceed Expectations
The service was exceptional from the very beginning. I got prompt response after initial contact and all subsequent correspondence were very cordial, helpful, prompt and professional. The safari itself was lots of fun and we had an enlightened patient guide and cautious driver in one person, Mr Omari. He was very experience and competent with good awareness of the local cultures, the various animals and the environment. Accommodations in all three locations were perfect with good food to boost. We were a family of 5 and the children had a blast. Beacon took care of all logistics from the moment we exited the airport to departure out AF Nairobi.

3 Day Masai Mara
Booked a last minute 3 day Masai Mara trip with Beacon Safari. They were absolutely wonderful. Did a great job of building a custom safari around what we wanted. Namely all day safari drives instead of just a morning and afternoon drive and a more camp like resort. We went with IIKeliani and we were the only people there for 1 night and there were 2 other couples there the other night. The camp was wonderful and took care of all of our needs. Beacon Safari and David our amazing guide were top notch. We saw 4 of the big 5 only missing the Rhino. David seemed like a lead guide out there with other guides always asking him where to find things and which direction the animals were moving. Seeing a cheetah eating a jackal in a tree was amazing. We were the only ones there. David made sure we got all the pictures we wanted before informing the other guides of where this was. We were also the first to find a male lion napping on the Mara and a family of 3 female lions and their 6 baby lions. Just an amazing experience overall. You should book with Beacon if you want an amazing experience. I will be booking with them again on our next safari.
The best tour operator I have ever been with
I had wanted to go on a safari since I was a boy and had never been to Kenya before.
I therefore did a lot of research on which company to use and chose Beacon Safaris. Robert answered all my many questions quickly and comprehensively. His suggestions worked out brilliantly and these, together with the enthusiastic guiding and driving by Anthony, made sure that I saw far more than I expected. Indeed Anthony took on my requests as a personal mission to fulfill and fulfill them he did.
The 8 day safari worked like clockwork and my wife and I felt safe and secure the whole time.
I cannot recommend Beacon Safaris highly enough and this is the easiest 5 out of 5 I have ever given.

Great Experience in Nairobi National Park
I'm in Kenya for a short work trip and was connected with Robert and Beacon Safaris to arrange an excursion in Nairobi National Park and the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage. Robert and guide/driver John picked me up in the early morning in a cool, customized van (roof pops up so that you can stand, spot wildlife and take pictures). Robert was truly professional and John very knowledgeable about the animals in the park. We arrived at the park just before 6:30 am and I would recommend that anyone else do the same; it's harder to see any animals after around 9:30. We spotted rhinos, hartebeest, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, gazelle, impala, elan, lions, and lots of various birds including ostriches. It was exciting bounding around the park with John and Robert when animal sightings came across the radio. The elephant orphanage is also an essential life experience. Beacon was professional, punctual, and courteous, I would happily book another tour with them in the future.

Simply Amazing, the best vacation we ever had !
From the first moment I made contact with the owner Robert, his professionalism and attention to detail was superb. I gave him my hopes and wishes for our first Safari, he returned with multiple intelligent ideas to maximize our time and maintain our budget.
From the moment we were met at the airport in Nairobi ,everything was perfectly executed as planned.
Our guide for the safari , Antony was cheerful, intelligent, punctual and safe. He is mainly the reason why I think we had such a great time. His professionalism and ability to really understand what we wanted from our first Safari made our experience Amazing ! We were sitting by a cheetah and her two cubs 10 minutes after being picked up from the Masi Mara airstrip, and the adventure never stopped . The ability to chat with Antony and tell him what we wanted everyday and his expert knowledge and passion to share his beautiful country with us was priceless.
I cannot say enough great things about Beacon Safaris. Everything was Perfect !
Communication- Excellent
Customer Service- Excellent
Budget - on target
One of my biggest demands is punctuality, and this trip was like a well orchestrated theater production.
Was better than we imagined !
Thank you Beacon Safaris
