Well Done, Hermosa.
Hermosa Life did a good job with all the trip arrangements.
It was an exciting adventure and I had a wonderful time in Rwanda.

We only saw a small portion but really liked what we did see
We visited 2 areas after crossing in from Tanzania at the Namanga border - Amboseli and Nairobi. Amboseli was spectacular. So very dry but this added to the vibe and feeling, particularly at sunset where we watched elephant herds walking towards Kilimanjaro for the night. After a night here we proceeded to Nairobi and took a great driving tour of the city center and then visited Nairobi National Park where we had spectacular up close views of rhinos and lions. The Giraffe Center to see and feed the Rothchild Giraffes was also very worthwhile.

Trip of a Lifetime with Banok Safaris
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.

Irresponsable
We did the 11-day Kenya and Tanzania safari. The ETA office is actually the Super Eagles office; I believe they are the same agency. The Kenyan driver/guide during the safaris gave us no information about where we were going or what we would do next. He drove aggressively, putting the passengers at risk, and on one occasion, he hit a sheep in the middle of the road. After complaints from all the passengers, they switched to another guide and vehicle; the vehicle was very uncomfortable and the windows didn't work properly. At one lodge, there were mice in the room at night. We found droppings on the bed and our belongings. A mouse tore through the fabric of the backpack, ate some cookies we had inside, and left droppings. Because of this situation, we consulted Derrick about what to do and whether there was a possibility of disease transmission, but we received no response. As we continued our safari in Tanzania, Seven Wonders was in charge of organizing it, and we had no problems with them.

Derrick was cool, but quiet, didn't say much during game drives, and seemed rushed.
Overall, everything went very well. Communication with the agency was excellent, and the staff were friendly. However, the day we left for the park, we left much later than planned and couldn't go to the Maasai Village. Furthermore, we entered the park late and left early on the other two days of the game drive. So we felt like we lost valuable time in the park and the opportunity to see more animals. This wasn't a good thing, considering the monetary cost of hiring a safari service.

They transformed our dream of Africa into an experience that surpassed every expectation.
Thank you so much for your efforts! This week's safari has been absolutely incredible and truly unforgettable! Our guide was also wonderful and worked very hard to find animals for us. Today, we saw a herd of elephants at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. It was spectacular!

Everything was amazing
Amazing Kenya Safari Adventure! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My recent 7-day safari in Kenya was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we left Nairobi to explore the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli, every day was filled with incredible wildlife experiences and breathtaking landscapes.
Highlights of the trip included witnessing two lionesses skillfully hunting a young warthog, seeing a curious baby giraffe approach me just a few meters away, and spotting five cheetahs in Amboseli, which were even larger than the ones I had seen in Maasai Mara! The safari guides were knowledgeable and attentive, making sure we felt safe while getting the most out of each park.
Beyond the wildlife, I loved the serene landscapes, sunsets painting the savanna in pink and dark red hues, and the peaceful moments near the lakes. The combination of nature, adventure, and cultural encounters made this journey truly special.
I highly recommend this safari for anyone who wants to experience the raw beauty of Kenya, get close to wildlife, and create memories that will last a lifetime!
