Banok is Perfection
Banok has been organizing our trips for years and again they came thru flawlessly. From initial planning to end of the tour transfer back to the airport Ben, Operator of Banok, provided excellent service. And, the price isn’t exorbitantly expensive like other tour companies. He is very sensitive with costs that reflects the clients ability to afford it. We were very content with the whole production of the tour. We stayed at luxury camps and they were superb. Our Game drive guide Willie, whom I’ve known for the last 5 years was excellent and bent over backwards to please us with whatever was needed or wanted. Never go wrong with Banok. Thank you so much for our unforgettable trip to Kenya. See you next year.

Spectacular Private Tour with Banok Safari. Driver, Douglas and Guide, Willie aka Double Whisky!
Private Tours, my second with Banok Safaris. We had 12 days of nonstop tours in 4 different Camps! Each day was full of lucky sightings of the Big 5! Exciting and couldn’t get enough of seeing all the best. Ofcourse, it all depends on the knowledge and expertise of the Guide and the operator! I would recommend highly! Kinjo Sister’s.

Top notch and Fantastic Safari Experts!
This was my first safari, invited to join my sisters on an incredible journey of discovery in the wilderness. Words cannot describe how excited and grateful to witness this experience of my lifetime.
The game drives memories were composed of awesome stories especially the time we were stuck in mud, how we managed to get out after 2 or more hours in the sweltering heat. Another time, help came from other jeeps who heard our cry for help thru the walkie talkies and to watch them in astonishment and the rescuers were relentless, as no one was left behind.
I was able to achieve the Big Five sightings in 2 days! I was lucky and thanks to Willie, his spotting expertise and knowledge I can say it was amazing!
Thank you Banok Safaris, I will truly recommend you and return in the future. My 12 days safari was definitely an unforgettable trip to remember forever!!

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.

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
