Experienced, with a great sense of humor, kind-hearted, and supportive of others.
Fest is incredibly knowledgeable, and thanks to his many years of experience, he took us to so many places where we could see animals. Whenever a car got stuck on a dirt road, he didn’t hesitate to go and help. He would even stay until another vehicle arrived to pick them up. He is truly kind and always looks out for others.
He has a great sense of humor, which made the trip so much fun. He’s simply the best!!

Seamless from start to finish!!!!
Coming from the UK, we had very little knowledge about Kenya before this trip. This is why we decided to use Beyond The Plains to help us plan, book and guide us through our 7 day safari visit. This was a trip of a lifetime for us and so it was really important we could trust the company we were going with. Our dedicated point of contact was extremely responsive and made me feel at complete ease leading up to the start date.
From the first conversation and agenda planning right until the end of the trip, everything with BTP was so easy and seamless and the team ensured that everything was perfect. It was our birthdays during the trip and the team had even let the hotels know, who then planned cakes and little surprises for us - that made it extra special! Our tour guide Moses - wow! He was phenomenal and we had the best week. He was extremely knowledgeable about Kenya and the parks we visited, and always knew where to take us to get the best photos and to see the big 5! He was a great laugh as well as great at making us feel super safe at all times.
Overall this company provided us an experience which exceeded our expectations - we will be back!!!

A wonderful safari with an outstanding guide who truly made the difference.
Our safari with Sunstrip Africa Safaris was an unforgettable experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our absolutely outstanding guide Bony. His knowledge of wildlife and nature was remarkable, his dedication was evident every single day, and his passion for what he does made every moment special. He went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience — we cannot praise him highly enough.
The accommodations throughout the trip were also excellent — comfortable, well-chosen, and a perfect place to rest after each exciting day in the bush.
However, we were disappointed by the communication regarding payment. We were told in advance to bring cash for the safari. When we asked if euros were acceptable, they confirmed this — but upon arrival, they applied an unfavorable dollar-to-euro exchange rate that was significantly worse than the standard online rate, without having informed us beforehand. As a result, we ended up paying more than 10% above the expected amount. Interestingly, we were then able to pay the remaining difference by card, which raises the question of why card payment was not offered from the start. We would strongly encourage the operator to communicate payment conditions and exchange rates clearly in advance.

Very well organized and very attentive service.
I was traveling alone and had a few days to spare before meetings. Knap Tours helped organise the perfect 3-day safari with seamless pick-up and drop off from Johannesburg. The accommodation on camp and the guides and vehicles for the safari were all outstanding. I had such an easy few days and managed to see more wildlife than I anticipated. Highly recommended.

The entire experience was perfect and impresive.
Looking back at photos and videos from my African safari with JungleRoam Safaris (January 9–15, 2025), I still miss this unforgettable trip deeply, even after a whole year.
The entire experience was perfect and seamless. Chesi was incredibly patient and attentive in pre-trip arrangements, and our guide Juli was professional, humorous, and extremely knowledgeable about wildlife and the ecosystem. With his sharp eyes, he helped us spot the Big Five and countless incredible moments. He was always gentle and patient with all our questions and photo requests, making us feel safe and well taken care of.
Every detail was thoughtfully arranged—smooth transfers, comfortable accommodation, and a well-organized itinerary. We could fully immerse ourselves in the wild beauty of Africa without any worries.
Highly recommend JungleRoam Safaris to anyone planning an African adventure. Thank you for such an amazing, comfortable, and memorable journey!

A wonderful wildlife experience & Dickson was great
A very memorable time seeing lion, cheetah, elephant and much more in the Maasai Mara. Dickson, our guide, was great - he knew good spots to encounter the wildlife, provided lots of info, and all in all made it a fun experience! Highly recommend.

Perfect Safaris all the time!
I’ve been going to safaris organized by Ben for the last four years and sometimes twice a year. I remember one year my luggage didn’t reach Nairobi. I went ahead and left for Lewa Valley as scheduled. The following day, Ben personally picked up my luggage and brought it to Wilson airport, the domestic airport. It arrived in Lewa and a personnel from our Lewa camp went to pick up my luggage from the air strip. Ben will make any wrong right. He communicates with my guide everyday to ensure that everything is flowing nicely. I’ve never been disappointed with Banok Safaris. They understand your needs, your preference and connects you with the right guide. My sister and I have already booked our migration safari in July and we are looking forward to it. You won’t regret booking your safari with Banok. Thank you Ben!

Perfect safari experience !
We are a group of 8 adults from Belgium, and we would like to express how amazing our safari experience in Kenya was.
Everything was absolutely perfect and very well organized from start to finish. The guide was fantastic, professional, flexible, trustworthy, and always punctual. He made us feel safe and comfortable at all times, and adapted to our needs throughout the trip.
The communication with Sam NTG was excellent. He was always responsive, clear, and attentive, making the entire planning process smooth and stress-free.
They responded to all our needs and expectations, including a special request we had to organize a birthday surprise during the safari, which was handled perfectly and made the celebration truly unforgettable.
We highly recommend them without any doubt. Thank you for this incredible experience!
