My first Safari and could not have been a better place to start than in the Amboseli National Park. With Robert's assistance from Beacon, I had no problems with any aspect of the trip. There were numerous animals out and about during every drive we took. Suffice to say that it was an exception to not be able to look around and see an animal somewhere: usually numerous. Beacon Safaris, nor any safari company, can control the condition of the roads in and around the park, which were rough. And I knew I was going before the rainy season started, so there were signs of distress on some of the wildlife. But even with that, the number and variety of animals I was was outstanding. My guide, Charles, was never at a loss for information about anything we saw: I was continually learning and being amazed by how comprehensive his knowledge was about the wildlife, their habits, the park history, and just about any other topic that came up. Kibo Safari Camp is where I spent 3 nights and it provided a very authentic experience, with absolutely great staff. And the meals were terrific.
I would definitely recommend Beacon Safaris.
