Exceptional Wildlife Encounters in Samburu..
Samburu National Reserve was a hidden gem! With the expert guidance of Timothy, we explored unique wildlife, including Grevy’s zebras and Somali ostriches, and admired stunning landscapes. The lodges were luxurious, and every detail was well-planned by Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris. This safari is a must-do for nature enthusiasts!

Really awesome will go back again..
We booked a luxury safari and beach combo with Shavi Tours, and it was worth every penny. Our guide, Jones, had an encyclopedic knowledge of the wildlife and ecosystems, which made the game drives educational and exciting. Afterward, we relaxed at a stunning beach resort in Pemba Island, where we enjoyed crystal-clear waters and delicious local cuisine. Shavi Tours truly provides an unforgettable African travel experience.

Chris is a friendly attentive and knowledgeable driver
Having biked the tour in the uk we were extremely pleased with overall experience. Our driver (Chris) was reliable, attentive and very knowledgeable. The route was long but we had plenty of stops and information regularly shared by Chris helped the time pass quickly. He was also flexible and adjusted the route at times to take into account the desires of the passengers.

Megan's expertise shone through in her meticulous scheduling and incredible responsiveness
We had the absolute best experience with Megan from Discover Africa during our two-week journey through Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. From the moment we began planning our trip, Megan demonstrated an extraordinary level of professionalism and dedication that transformed our vacation into a truly magical experience.

At all times, I was made to feel safe and in the know, with every detail of my trip cared for.
This was my 3rd trip using Trots & Safari Uganda. Year after year, from planning to execution, my trip has been handled personally and professionally. I appreciate all of their team's good communication, timely counsel, and friendly staff. I have covered a lot of miles in Western Uganda, and will continue to entrust my travel and arrangments to Trots for years to come!

Trip of a lifetime
We arranged a 4 day/ 3 night safari with Joagro and from first contact until Anuar dropped us at the airport, it was a brilliant experience. I had lots of queries initially but nothing fazed Jonas and he always replied promptly to my messages. One of my big concerns was food for my coeliac husband but he assured me that would be no problem.
We started from our hotel in Arusha and visited Tarangire and Serengeti national parks and Ngorongoro conservation area and crater over the 4 days and each was breathtaking. Ultimately, the trip was made extra special by our wonderful guide Anuar , who’s knowledge and enthusiasm was extensive and his patience with all our questions was brilliant. We stayed 2 of the 3 nights in tented safari accommodation and on these nights we ate together which really enhanced the trip.
The jeep was great, plenty of water available at all times, and each day followed the plan Anuar set out. The accommodation was all super with lovely staff and great food and no problem to get gluten free options.
On returning to our hotel, we commented that we had the whole of the next day with nothing to do and Anuar suggested a walking tour of Arusha which Joagro arranged for us and they also dropped us at the airport - all arranged at short notice for a great price.
I would highly recommend Joagro to anyone thinking of a safari in this area.

Courteous and well thought out communication.
Ben was a pleasure to deal with, from the conversations on the phone during quoting to the multiple steps troubleshooting payment (issues on my end and not with Banok).
Most importantly, Ben had every single detail planned for my wife and I. He put us together with a Masai guide (James) for our safari drives and we managed to spot the big 5 in our first drive. There were moments where I had thought I had missed something (transportation from the air strip in the Masai Mara to our camp for example), but Ben had thought of that even though I never asked him about it.
I cannot recommend Banok enough, and will certainly be advising family and friends to use Banok Safari for when they visit Kenya.

Amazing tour with the incredible Kikitu
We had the best 3 day tour with our guide Kikitu in the Masai Mara. We were picked up from the airport in Nairobi on day one, dropped off at Jocky Tours office to pay the final balance (bring cash to avoid a 3% card fee). Once the bill was settled we met our group and guides ready for a 6/7 hour drive to the Masai Mara. Once arriving we had lunch at Enkorok camp (which was great) and then went out for our first 3 hour drive in the park. On day 2, we had a full game drive all day and transferred back to our hotel in Nairobi on day 3 following a visit to the Masai village which was incredibly interesting. Kikitu was extremely knowledgeable about the Masai Mara and was able to use his vast knowledge of the park to tell us all about the animals. He made sure we were safe at all times and even when getting stuck in a huge pothole still having fun! We went in low season in November which was great as we weren’t following any others cars and therefore really felt like such an authentic adventure. A couple of highlights were giraffes walking incredibly close to the car, a lion taking a nap after a kill and spotting a leopard in a tree! Thank you kikitu for making our trip to the Masai Mara so memorable and we would highly recommend booking with him for an exciting and unforgettable experience!
