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.
Thank you sincerely for your wonderful review.
We are thrilled to know you had an unforgettable safari experience with us. It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and we deeply appreciate your trust in Banok Safaris.
We look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable adventure soon!
Warm regards,
Benson – Banok Safaris

Thank-you Banok Safaris for helping us fulfill a trip of a lifetime. Benson did an amazing job of creating and customizing our trip to our needs and wants.The accommodations were top notch, providing a wide variety of decor, charm and scenery. The staff at the camps and lodges were so kind, gracious and warm.Eric our guide was absolutely wonderful! He was welcoming, caring and an excellent guide and driver. Eric went above and beyond to make sure that we were comfortable and getting the most out of our trip. On day 1, we saw 4 of the Big 5 within the first 2 hours of our game drive. He genuinely cared bout his clients. My aunt struggled with getting in and out of the vehicle due to a bad knee and hip. Eric went out of his way to purchase a step stool to make it easier for her to get in and out of the vehicle.I would highly recommend booking with Banock Safaris.
Great Experience
Banok Safaris was wonderful. Benson did an outstanding job of customizing a trip to Meru National Park, and Alex was an excellent guide.
Hi Ralph,
Thank you for your review! We are glad you enjoyed Kenya and appreciate your recommendation.

Our top guide Eric is professional and friendly. Eric not oly chased big fives by only a few game drives in the first few days, but also drives smoothly and safely. He always try his best to let us have a good position to have a good view and good angle to see the subjects.
The night game drive at Ol Pejeta was amazing. The balloon riding, Bush Breakfast, and Sundowner at Masai Mara were excellent and unforgettable moments.
Thank you Banok Safaris, Benson and Eric for this wonderful experience.
I would recommend Banok Safaris for sure.
Hi Jason,
Thank you for your wonderful review and for trusting Banok Safaris. We are glad you enjoyed your safari, from the Big Five sightings to the balloon ride and sundowner. Eric will be thrilled by your kind words. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to hosting you again.

During dry season, chasing for Africa Big Five is our main goal, We only take a few Game Drives within 3 days and our dream come true, it is not a easy job but the Guide "Eric" is so professional, good experience, service and safety / comfortable driving during our 10 days in Kenya. Not only chasing, he also try his best to let us have a good position to have a good view good angle to see the subjects.
Accommodation is nice, depends on our budget, we are all feel satisfactory, F&B are good at all.

Hi! For anyone looking for a local Safari tour operator, I highly recommend Banok Safaris. My husband and I did a 7 nights - 8 day Safari on our honeymoon and we had a great experience. Eric the guide was an amazing person and took really good care of us. We saw the big 5 and discovered different wildlife parks all around Kenya.
Both, Eric and Ben seem to be very hardworking and honorable people and we are happy we chose them for our experience.
Thank you so much for your kind words and lovely review! We’re so happy to hear that your honeymoon safari was a memorable experience. It was a pleasure to be part of such a special journey. We truly appreciate your trust in us and are delighted that you enjoyed the Big Five and the beauty of Kenya’s parks.
Wishing you a lifetime filled with love and unforgettable adventures. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again someday!

Safari Adventure honeymoon
We chose Banok as our Safari agency for our honeymoon given their fast response over whatsapp, clear and well written detailed itinerary and flexibility with customizing the experience and adapt to our budget.Ben was always responsive and responsible, even while there were some minor inconveniences he honored our initial agreement.Eric was our guide and he is an amazing person, you can tell he cares about the people and the animals and knows his way around. We can proudly say that we saw the big 5 and more. The hotels and parks were amazing and our only complain would be to adjust the transfer time in the itinerary to adjust expectations as they are a couple hours longer given the road conditions. We understood this is out of Ben and Eric’s control.
Our 12 Days Safari
Our 12 days safari with Banok Safaris through Kenya and Tanzania was truly the trip of a lifetime. From the moment we landed, everything was well organized, and we felt completely taken care of. Benson was friendly, and always made sure we were comfortable. We visited amazing places like Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, Tarangire park and Amboseli. Each park was unique and full of wildlife - we saw lions, elephants, giraffes, rhinos, buffaloes, cheetahs and also had a wonderful hot air balloon over Masai Mara. We had the best guides who were very experienced which made every game drive exciting and informative. The accommodations were beautiful and cozy, with lovely views and great food. As a couple we enjoyed the romantic sunsets, peaceful campfires, and private moments in nature. Banok Safaris gave us a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and unforgettable memories. Highly recommend!
Memorable Masai Mara Adventure
Our 4 days fly-in safari masai mara was smooth and relaxing. Benson organized everything very well and we didn't have to worry about a thing. Our stay at Amani Mara Camp was fantastic, with delicious food, attentive staff, and a peaceful environment, complemented by incredible game drive that made the experience even more memorable. The flight was convenient and well coordinated to and from Masai Mara; a perfect way to relax and enjoy nature in comfort. We highly recommend Banok Safaris for a well organized safari experience with excellent service and attention to detail.

I was happy everything was organized well from start to finish.Highly recommend Banok Safaris for anyone looking for a seamless safari experience. We will be back!

The experience was spectacular and indeed when it was my time to go for safari, banok safaris was the ultimate choice. Great customer experience, great safari drivers and affordable rates. Thankyou benson for making our kenyan safari memorable.

We first found Banok Safaris by their inviting online presence. Their safaris offered exactly what we were looking for in a multi-park experience--with an affordable price tag. We cross-checked our initial impression with stellar online reviews. Tour Operator Benson Mutinda was extremely responsive to our questions, and accommodated specific requests with ease. Our guide, Eric, was very knowledgeable about the animals and park rhythms, and facilitated encounters with some of the most significant animal activity at all three parks--Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboselli. We had amazing, up-close views of cheetahs, lions, and leopards, as well as elephants, water buffalo, rhino, zebras, giraffes, jackels, hyenas, at least a half dozen antelope species, as well as key birds for my life list, like flamingos, ostriches, and 5 kinds of storks! Watching a family of big tusker elephants crossing in front of our vehicle with Mt. Kilimanjaro rising behind is an experience that will stay with me always. My husband and I, along with an adult daughter and her partner, enjoyed a private 6-day tour, with awesome scenery and game drives during the day, and relaxing, comfortable lodging at night. We highly recommend this outfit to anyone contemplating a first-time safari adventure or a return to these awe-inspiring landscapes.
Thank you for your excellent review! We're thrilled you had such an unforgettable safari experience with Banok Safaris. We were pleased to tailor your trip and ensure you had incredible wildlife encounters across Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli. We sincerely appreciate your recommendation and would be honored to welcome you on another adventure in the future.

Our 6-day safari with Banok Safaris was nothing short of spectacular! From the breathtaking Masai Mara, where we saw the Big Five, to the stunning Lake Nakuru with its flamingos and rhinos, and the majestic Amboseli with elephants roaming against Mount Kilimanjaro’s backdrop—every moment was unforgettable. The accommodations were comfortable, the itinerary was well-planned, and our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Banok Safaris provided a seamless, well-organized adventure that exceeded all expectations. Highly recommended for an authentic and unforgettable Kenya safari!
