Banok Safaris Limited Reviews 9

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.

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 Amboseli. 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.

I asked Ben at Banok Safari Tours to organize a very exclusive tour for us. They were all luxurious camps you can only get there by flying in a small plane. I never got my luggage from the US to Nairobi. Qatar finally delivered to the hotel we were staying but it got there the day we flew to Amboselli two days later. Ben personally contacted the airport initially and followed up on every detail. He picked up the two luggage that was delivered to the hotel, and took it to the regional airport and to the Safari Link desk. And, also convinced them to not charge the luggage fee. Great work! Ben, very meticulously handled this issue. Wow, I was impressed. Then a Camp personnel picked the luggage up when the plane landed in Amboselli. Ben actually followed up almost everyday to make sure we were happy and satisfied the entire 10 days tour. I’ve booked Banok before so know his working style. He’s a perfectionist and very reliable. I would recommend Banok to anyone who is thinking of doing a Kenya Safari. You will not regret it.

The safari was absolutely amazing. Our traveling with the company was well organized and fast than we ever thought. We did six days Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli and accommodation was well booked. The food was very good and our guide was perfect, we enjoyed our holiday very much such that i was able to recommend my friends who were planning for their trip next year to choose Banok Safaris.

Magnificent beaches with a perfect combination of sand and clear blue water. Enjoyed every second of everyday. we did the stone town tour and prison island tour. everything was so dreamy. I will never forget Burigi Chato Safaris for this good services.

Me and my Friend went on a nine day trip in Kenya that started in Nairobi. It was supposed to be 8 days but because we had an extra day at the end of the trip, Mr. Benson suggested we make it nine days safari.

We visited Samburu, ol Pejeta sweetwaters, lake nakuru, lake naivasha and masai mara. We had a really great time. Our driver Paul was very great, good communication and knowledgeable about all the areas and the animals. Mr. Benson is a very nice guy, very helpful and quick to response. The land transport were organized and the hotels were more than we expected. The lodges were comfortable and beautiful.

If i go back to Kenya, i would not doubt in booking my safari again with Banok Safaris

Everything was perfect from start to end! We were a group of 5 people who planned this trip over a year in advance and we wanted a good safari for 8 days during Christmas season.

Mr. Benson from Banok Safaris was very patient with our requests, providing a very personalized experience. We had a wonderful time visiting Masai mara, lake Nakuru, Amboseli and tsavo west with our guide David who was superb on his Job. Our sightings included a leopard eating a gazelle in a tree, lions eating a zebra, lions mating, White rhinos at Lake Nakuru, Elephant herds, and lots of vultures and other birds and also not forgetting a visit to Natural spring water at Mzima springs.

All hotels were clean and well appointed: hot showers, great food and awesome staff.

We enjoyed a lot our experience. We are planning in returning in Kenya in the future and definitely we are going to contact again Banok Safaris, I also hope to see Mr. Benson and his great team in the future. I recommend Banok Safaris, book with them.

I had a great 5 Days Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru Safari with Banok Safaris. Ben was very quick on arranging our Safari. We were able to get a good customized itinerary which met all our needs.

We slept at good lodges with friendly staff and delicious food. Our guide during 5 days was superb, showed us alot of animals, including all the big four, we were not lucky to see leopard, but he tried alot.

I would recommend Banok Safaris for everything looking to visit Kenya. They are the best.
