Benson was professional, knowledgeable, flexible, and a great communicator.
My husband and I went on a 2 week safari in Kenya and Tanzania. Benson put together an amazing itinerary and fulfilled our every need. Would definitely recommend Banok Safaris to all our friends and family.

Banok is the best safari tour company.
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!!

Just Excellent Service
Trip of a lifetime! We had an amazing honeymoon in Kenya thanks to Banok Safaris team. This was our first trip to Africa, my husband and I had no idea how to even start planning our trip and we are so thankful for the guidance thank Benson and the team provided. Itinerary was perfect and we covered the best part of Kenya including Ol Pejeta, Nakuru, Masai Mara and Amboseli for ten days safari. We felt the cost was well worth how much we got to see and do.
Our guide Willie was fantastic and knowledgeable about wildlife, great spotter of animals, very funny and friendly, he really made our honeymoon unforgettable.
We stayed in a great range of tented camps and hotels with amazing properties - all had wonderful staff that made our trip so memorable.
We really fulfilled a bucket list dream vacation, and e can't thank them enough for their personal attention to detail in making sure we were not just happy but delighted! Asante sana.

Outstanding Experience
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.

From planning to execution Banok was perfect!
Tour operator, Ben of Banok Safari Tours organized our Kenya tour of 13 days to Amboselli Natl Park, Samburu Reserve, Mt. Kenya Park, Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Naivosha Lake Park and the Masai Mara National Reserve with guide, Willie. I’ve gone on tours with Willie four times now. He is an excellent safari guide who has eyes like a hawk and spots animals so well. Willie knows my interests in big cats like lions, cheetahs and leopards. Banok called Willie everyday to check how our tour was going. They will make any wrong right and their tour price is very reasonable staying at luxury tents and camps. I’m planning another tour with them next year. Thank you Banok and thank you Willie!

Good and Reliable Company
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

Very professional, excellent service
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.

Banok Safaris is a flexible & 100% reliable Partner. Ben is per Whats App 24/7 available to support
We had an amazing Honeymoon Safari in Masai Mara. Ben from Banok Safafi made us an incredible offer i couldnt match with my own search. We stayed 4 Days and 3 Nights at Amani Mara Camp, an absolut TOP NOTCH Camp.. expensive but it was definately worth it... the staff adapted everything acording our wishes and the camp is located at an incredible spot with a stunning view in the savanne. Right in front of the camp are about 70 Hippo's in the River and also a few Crocodiles. Foodies will love the amazing 3-4 course menues of high quality food... my wife is vegetarian and i'm a meat lover. As important as the Camp is the Tour guide ... James (A local Massai) drove us with his OPEN SIDED Offroad Land Cruiser through the huge Mara theretory. He was well experienced and knew litterly all spots.. we saw lots of Lions mating, the Lapard and also the Cheetas hunting. Ben also orgsnized us a Fly IN/Out package... which saves you 6hours of exhausting driving from Nairobi to the Mara.. absolutely worth. All in all it was just amazing... PS: Ben is available per Whats App 24/7 to support... and also picks you up from Hotel to the airport... it was a end to end full service package...

They are knowledgeable about everything A to Z that you may need to enjoy your vacation.
We had a great 5 day family trip/birthday trip to the Sandies Tropical beach, for a very affordable price. Everything was taken care of by the amaizing staff of Banok Safaris, all we had to do is show up, sit back, relax and enjoy the amaizing services at the resort. Surely would recommend their services to anyone.
