Serengeti Smile - Simply Amazing
Our 6-day safari through Tarangire, Central Serengeti, and Northern Serengeti was truly the trip of a lifetime, and our guide, Champion, made it unforgettable.
From the very first day, Champion was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about the wildlife and the Serengeti. Thanks to his expertise, we experienced breathtaking sightings and were fortunate enough to see all of the Big Five, along with countless other incredible moments that exceeded our expectations.
What stood out most was the personal attention Champion gave our group. He always made sure we were in the best position for wildlife viewing and photography, patiently answered every question, and shared fascinating insights about the animals, landscapes, and local ecosystem. His passion, positive spirit, and sense of adventure were contagious and made every game drive exciting.
Champion didn’t just guide us through Tanzania—he created memories that will stay with us for a lifetime.
Serengeti Smile is incredibly fortunate to have a guide like Champion. If you have the opportunity to go on safari with him, consider yourself lucky. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Champion, for an unforgettable adventure and memories we will cherish forever!
Thank you Serengeti Smile. Thank you Champion !

Serengeti Smile exceeded our expectations for an incredible and amazing safari!
Safari Smile was fantastic! Godian was professional, prompt and most helpful before and during our safari in his communication with us, answering all our questions and arranging for all our transfers and needs. We wanted to support a local tour operator but also to receive the benefits of their local knowledge and networking. Champion, our second generation guide, was phenomenal. His ability to spot animals, foresee their movements, his extensive knowledge of the flora, fauna, culture and history, along with his excellent relationship with other guides allowed for an amazing experience. We had fun, felt safe and well taken care of.
The accommodations were comfortable and the staff at each of their lodges and camps were helpful, conscientious and joyful! We loved the singing! We are running out of superlatives to describe our experience!

Absolute Pleasure!
My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Banok Safaris and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.
From the very beginning, Benson was incredibly kind, accommodating, and professional. Everything was handled seamlessly, starting from our pickup in Nairobi, through our Maasai Mara safari, to our final drop-off in Naivasha. Not a single detail was missed, and the entire experience was completely smooth and stress-free. They also offered us very competitive rates, which made the overall experience even better.
A very special mention has to go to James, our guide, who is truly a gem! Being from a Maasai village, he brought an incredible depth of perspective and understanding to the safari. He was extremely thorough and persistent in ensuring that we had the best possible sightings. Thanks to him, we witnessed some splendid views and truly spectacular wildlife sightings.
We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our safari. We would wholeheartedly recommend Benson and Banok Safaris. Hopefully, whenever we return to Kenya, we will absolutely choose them again. A fantastic team and a truly memorable experience!

Five-Star Ethiopia Experience We Will Never Forget⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We are four photographers recently completed an incredible 17-day tour with Kingdom Ethiopia Tours, and it exceeded every expectation we had. from the moment we arrived at Addis Ababa Airport, we were warmly welcomed by the team and transferred to a beautiful five-star hotel, which was the perfect start to our journey.
We enjoyed a fascinating city tour of Addis Ababa before visiting the breathtaking Debre Libanos Monastery. from there, we explored the incredible northern highlights of Ethiopia, including Bahir Dar, Gondar, the Simien Mountains, Lalibela, Abune Yemata Guh, and the unforgettable Danakil Depression. We also traveled to the beautiful Omo Valley in southern Ethiopia, where we experienced unique cultures and amazing photographic opportunities.
As photographers, we were especially impressed by the carefully planned itinerary. Every destination was spectacular, and the schedule was well organized, allowing us to make the most of every day. The team's local knowledge and attention to detail made the entire experience smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free.
The service was outstanding throughout the trip. our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and always eager to help. our driver was highly skilled and made us feel safe on every road, and the 4WD Jeep was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and well maintained, which made the long journeys much more enjoyable.
A special thank you to the owner and the entire team for organizing such a memorable adventure. Your professionalism, hospitality, and dedication made this one of the best travel experiences we have ever had.

Fantastic and very well organized safari.
We had a wonderful safari from Arusha via Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti to Mwanza. Our guide, Karim, was amazing. He did his utmost to let us see the wildlife. In addition, he is simply a very nice guide who also tells a lot about his country.
