Great Experience
5/5

Every aspect of the experience with Banok Safaris was first rate. Benson did a wonderful job of communicating and planning, even being flexible to accommodate my schedule and preferences in visiting Meru. Alex was an exceptional guide. It was a great experience.

Trip of a Lifetime with Banok Safaris
5/5

We recently returned from an unforgettable journey with Banok Safaris, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Benson did a phenomenal job designing and customizing our itinerary to suit our interests and needs perfectly.

Exceptional Accommodations 

Each camp and lodge we stayed in was unique and top-notch, offering a beautiful mix of décor, charm, and stunning scenery. The staff were consistently warm, gracious, and attentive—making us feel welcome and cared for throughout our stay.

Outstanding Guide Service 

Our guide, Eric, was truly exceptional. From the moment we met him, he was welcoming, knowledgeable, and incredibly thoughtful. His driving skills and wildlife expertise made every game drive exciting and safe. On our very first day, we saw four of the Big Five within just two hours!

Above and Beyond Care 

Eric’s kindness stood out when my aunt had difficulty getting in and out of the vehicle due to her knee and hip. Without hesitation, he went out and purchased a step stool to make things easier for her—a gesture that meant the world to us.

If you're considering a safari, we wholeheartedly recommend Banok Safaris. Their attention to detail, personalized service, and genuine care made this a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Professional and committed to a great safari experience for the guests!
4/5

Thank you to Benson and Eric for a truly memorable safari experience!

My friend and I had a wonderful time on our 4-day private safari with Eric. He was dedicated to making sure we had a full and meaningful experience, and we were able to see everything we were hoping for—animals, the lava flows, Taita Hills, and more. He was kind, knowledgeable, and fun to spend time with; we shared a lot of laughs. I especially appreciated how he went above and beyond, including helping us find extra food and water after some very full days. Thank you, Eric!

We had arranged an “in-between” style safari—staying in our own accommodations and planning to bring extra food to keep costs down. I would imagine that most Banok guests stay in higher-end lodges inside the parks, so at times it was a bit challenging to find our lodgings or locate affordable food options. So in that respect, the experience wasn’t always perfectly aligned with the budget-focused approach we’d requested, but Eric was flexible and adapted to our needs.

Otherwise, the trip was excellent. A big thank-you to Benson for putting together an itinerary that allowed us to experience so much in just 4 days.

Exceptional solo safari - highly recommend Banok Safaris
5/5

I booked a 3 days solo safari to the Masai Mara with Banok Safaris, and it turned out to be the best travel experiences I have ever had. Everything was well organized, smooth, and tailored to my needs. My guide was incredibly knowledgeable and made sure I never missed a moment. The camp I stayed, Banok booked for me was very cozy and meals food was great. I highly recommend Banok Safaris to any traveler looking for a memorable stress free, and truly magical experience. I will correctly choose them again.
