Meru and Kora National Parks
5/5

I was looking for a very specific safari itinerary in Kenya which had to include a day in the very remote Kora National Park. The reason behind this requirement is of my personal connection with Christian the lion that was bought from Harrods and subsequently rehabilitated into the wild in Kora by George Adamson in the early 1970s.

I had contacted several reputable safari providers with my requirements. Only Banok Safaris were willing and able to meet my needs. Banok answered all my questions promptly and honestly. They provided me with several accommodation options in Meru National Park which would be the base from where I would travel to Kora (there is no accommodation in Kora) and suitable 3 to 5 day itineraries with a fully detailed quote for each.

Having chosen an itinerary and booked flights, Banok also arranged 1 night hotel stay near Nairobi Airport on the day before the start of the safari due to the late arrival into Nairobi which is a 6/7 hour journey to Meru. I was met at Nairobi Airport by a representative of Banok and transferred to the hotel. The next morning I met my Safari guide Jackson, for the journey to Ikweta Safari Lodge in Meru.

Ikweta is a very pleasant and comfortable lodge. My day in Kora was amazing with a visit to Kambi Ya Simba (Camp of the Lions) which is where George Adamson lived and rehabilitated lions including Christian. Visited George Adamsons grave, the Tana River and Kora Inselbergs Rocks.

The other 4 days were spent in bush drives in Meru which is teeming with wild life including the big 5.

I would whole heartedly and without hesitation recommend Banok Safaris. The service provided was outstanding both in listening to my requirements and catering to those requirements and made the whole booking process simple and straightforward. My guide, Jackson was excellent and knowledgeable and made the experience unique.

Perfect 8-day honeymoon safari!
5/5

Very well organised 8 day safari trip. Everything run like clockwork.
From the very beginning, very quick and immediate communication with Benson, at any time of day.

Attentive to our needs and budget capacity, even though we went for mid range accommodation options, everything felt like luxury.

Our driver Eric was easy going, always punctual, and made sure we saw not just all of big 5, but many many other animals and was just great at adjusting the safari car for the perfect picture angle and light, which was a great bonus.

We were pointed to Banok Safari through direct recommendation and would happily recommend them to our friends and family! Thank you for everything, it was a perfect honeymoon safari experience!

Absolute Pleasure!
5/5

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Banok Safaris and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

From the very beginning, Benson was incredibly kind, accommodating, and professional. Everything was handled seamlessly, starting from our pickup in Nairobi, through our Maasai Mara safari, to our final drop-off in Naivasha. Not a single detail was missed, and the entire experience was completely smooth and stress-free. They also offered us very competitive rates, which made the overall experience even better.

A very special mention has to go to James, our guide, who is truly a gem! Being from a Maasai village, he brought an incredible depth of perspective and understanding to the safari. He was extremely thorough and persistent in ensuring that we had the best possible sightings. Thanks to him, we witnessed some splendid views and truly spectacular wildlife sightings.

We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our safari. We would wholeheartedly recommend Benson and Banok Safaris. Hopefully, whenever we return to Kenya, we will absolutely choose them again. A fantastic team and a truly memorable experience!

Fantastic Caring and Attention to detail
5/5

We had a great time with Banok Safaris. Right from customizing the package, they are very adjusting to the customer budget and gave good camp/lodge options within the budget. Benson and Sky helped to curate a good package. We has a 7 night 8 day package and it flew by very quickly.
Tip: Always try to stay as much as possible inside the forest and try to choose Camps than Lodges.

Jackson the guide, the driver, the specialist, the expert, was awesome. He made our game drives fun, thrilling and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend him for the tour.
We saw the big 5 and many others even though we went in the lean season. Even when we had some small issues in the lodges in Nakuru and Naivasha, jackson helped us through the lodge guys to fix everything for us.
All in all a great trup and we will definitely come back and travel again with Banok Safaris.
