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

Beacon Safaris provided us an Amazing trip...Start to finish
From the Arrival to departure Beacon provided all we needed for a most wonderful trip. Ms. Winnie in the office took care of everything from our pickup at our arrival flight, flight between the 2 Parks to booking us a hotel for our last night. She is a great communicator and there was nothing we didnt know about before hand. We were picked up from the airport and our Guide Harun drove us to Amboseli to our accommodations. He was great and took us through Amboseli Park. He was great! The truck was clean and comfortable, he knew where the various wildlife were and we saw 9 Cheetahs during that time aside from many other creatures! We then had a flight to Masai Mara where our Guide Carlos picked us up. He made us feel very comfortable as we toured the Park. It is an incredible place. The wildlife was beautiful from the Lions to a Leopard..the Leopard we saw the very last day sitting in a tree and Carlos found that spot! Carlos is awesome guide! We could not have been in better hands. This was our 50th Anniversary and all those at Beacon made us feel very welcome! Everything was well arranged. The trip was awesome and worth every dollar! we can't thank them enough for this unforgettable adventure!!!!!!

Unforgettable Safari Experience - 10/10 with Beacon Safaris
We had a 💯 experience with Beacon Safaris from start to finish.
The booking process was smooth and personal. Elaine took time to understand our needs and tailored our itinerary perfectly. Our tour guide, Carlos, was absolutely amazing. He made the trip exciting, adventurous, and unforgettable.
The wildlife encounters were mind-blowing. We had front-row views of a lioness and her cubs, lions mating, elephants up close, rhinos, leopards, cheetahs, and buffalo in their herds. We also got to see the Big 5 across Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Hell’s Gate National Park.
Beacon Safaris made our stay in Kenya truly beautiful. It was an awesome experience for my wife and me, and one we’ll always cherish. I highly recommend Beacon Safaris for anyone looking for an enriching and well-organized safari.

Highly recommended! Fantastic journey and memorable experience!
This was the first time me and my husband have been to Kenya. We had an amazing 8-days safari with Beacon Safari and our guide Carlos, this journey really worthy and everything was so great. We had travelled several different countries and places, but this trip could list in top 1.
Before the trip, I was little bit worried, due to my preparation time not so enough. I searched on internet and saw different comments. But when Robert gave me the email feedback and gave me the advices based on my thoughts to share the Safari proposal, I believe this is the company I should choose.
I especially want to thank you our guide, Carlos. He is friendly, open mind, considerable. He kept explaining us all the animals related knowledge, and trying to catch all animals that make sure we won't miss anything. Even during the last day, he made it happened that let us saw the Leopard. We didn't expect could see as many animals as we can, because this journey not only about the animals, also about the sights, the culture, the experience of life. Thanks his dedication, appreciated. We had a so exciting trip. For sure, our families and friends, if anyone further will go to Kenya Safari, I will recommend Beacon and Carlos.

You Can't go wrong with Beacon Safaris!!
We returned from our safari a couple of weeks ago and it is still all we can talk about!! 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!!! The booking and quotes went very smoothly. Winfred was very patient with my changes and questions. She was also very prompt about replying to any questions as we waited for our Safari day to arrive. We did have a flight cancelled and we ended up arriving in Nairobi at day late at 1am!! Robert was so helpful and understanding. He told us our guide would be there at 1am and get us caught up on the safari day that we missed.
Alex was there right on time waiting for us! We set out and our AMAZING adventure began! Each experience that we had got better and better! We saw lions the first day! The accommodations that Beacon set up for us were great! Wonderful food, wonderful service and great rooms!!
The best part of the trip? Our guide Alex!! I can not imagine there is a better guide out there! He made sure we saw so many animals and was so patient when I wanted to take my 5000th picture of a giraffe! He was so knowledgeable and gave us information about everything we saw! He also set up special celebrations each night for our 25th wedding anniversary! Best part about Alex? The huge smile on his face when something wonderful happened for us, which was every day!
If you have ever considered a safari, get in touch with Beacon and ask for Alex! You will not regret it!!!

Amazing experience, highly recommend!
Our safari to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru with Beacon Safaris was a fantastic and enriching experience. We had the great pleasure of having Carlos as our guide; a man with a warm personality and infectious laugh who made us feel very safe and well taken care of. Without his driving skills and sharp eyes, we certainly would not have spotted all the amazing animals we’ve seen (lions, cheeta’s, rhino’s, hyena’s and even a leopard). Overall, a 10/10 experience with Beacon Safaris and Carlos!
