Fantastic Caring and Attention to detail
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.

Our unforgettable first safari in Kenya
As a couple travelling to Kenya for the first time, we did not know exactly where to start and what to expect. We decided to contact Banok Safaris to plan our trip, Ben made sure our experience was nothing short of magical. He organized and booked everything very quick, from airport transfers, accommodation, and daily safari schedule/game drives.
We visited the iconic Masai Mara, the game drives were breathtaking. We saw all the bigfive, giraffes grazing gracefully, and even cheetah print in action. Our guide Eric was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing insights about wildlife, and local culture. We loved our stay so much, Governors camp is the best, with stunning views and friendly hospitality.
Banok Safaris did not just take us like clients, but they treated us like family. We highly recommend to any couple or traveler dreaming of a seamless, safe and memorable safari.

Professional and committed to a great safari experience for the guests!
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.

what's a best value of tour package in Kenya through Banok Safaris's organisation
We planned for Kenya Safaris nearly one year, and searching the travel company and guide which suitable for us, after a few chatting with different travel company, Banok is the one who can design and suggest the best itinerary in reasonable value for us, We are impressed which Benson's quick reply, professional opinion and let us enjoy touring in Kenya.
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.
We have night game drive, balloon riding, Bush Breakfast, and Sundowner at Masai Mara, romantic and unforgettable moment.
Without doubt, Banok Safaris is our companion of next trip to Kenya or Serengeti in coming day.
Thank you Banok Safaris, Benson and Eric. see you soon.

Excellent Tour Operator
I found this tour operator on safaribooking and immediately understood exactly what safari I wanted. Benson organized a 10-day safari, including a beach holiday, impeccably. He was always available to answer any of my questions at any time. He also found me an Italian-speaking guide. The accommodations we chose were all perfect. The safari went very well. We saw everything and more, and at a time that wasn't exhausting. We always managed to relax for a few hours by the pool, or for lunch, or after 6 pm. I highly recommend this agency because it's excellent.
