Banok Safaris Made It Perfect
As a Solo traveler, i could not have asked for a better experience than the 9 days safari organized by Banok Safaris. From the moment i was picked, i felt safe, welcomed and well taken care of. The itinerary was perfectly balanced with exciting game drives, stunning landscapes, and just the right amount of downtime relax and take it all in.
Travelling through different parks, i had incredible wildlife sightings, and each destination had its unique charm. My Guide Eric was exceptional, friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to share insights about animals and history; i never felt alone. The accommodation were comfortable, clean and full of character. As a solo guest, i appreciated the personalized attention and warm hospitality at every stop.
Banok Safaris made this solo journey one of the most memorable experience of my life. If you are traveling alone and dreaming of safari, this is the team you want y your side.

Incredible 6-day kenya safari with Banok safaris
Our 6-day safari with Banok Safaris was nothing short of spectacular! From the breathtaking Masai Mara, where we saw the Big Five, to the stunning Lake Nakuru with its flamingos and rhinos, and the majestic Amboseli with elephants roaming against Mount Kilimanjaro’s backdrop—every moment was unforgettable. The accommodations were comfortable, the itinerary was well-planned, and our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Banok Safaris provided a seamless, well-organized adventure that exceeded all expectations. Highly recommended for an authentic and unforgettable Kenya safari!

10 Days of adventure
A 10 day safari proved to be a once in a lifetime experience. This was our first time in Africa, and we were deeply impressed by the exceptional service, warm hospitality, and attention to details provided throughout the journey. From the beginning Benson made the booking process smooth and reassuring, answering all our questions and ensuring that everything was perfectly arranged. Upon arrival, we were welcomed by our guide Eric, who become not just guide but a true friend over the course of the safari.
Eric deep knowledge of wildlife, nature, and culture made every day fascinating and educational. He always made sure we were safe and enjoying every moment which turned each game drive into exciting adventure.
The service at each lodge and camp Benson booked for us was warm and welcoming giving us true African hospitality.
The entire journey was smooth, safe, and filled with memorable moments. This was more than just a holiday-it was a meaningful adventure that we will cherish forever. We are deeply grateful to Eric, Benson,and the entire Banok Safaris Team.

3 wonderful days in the Masai Mara
I had a wonderful three-day safari in the Masai Mara. The nature is magnificent, and we saw many animals. Our guide, Eric, was very kind and explained everything to us. The lodge was clean and comfortable, and the food was good. I really enjoyed the safaris, especially the morning ones. It was a short trip, but truly special. I hope to come back!

unforgettable 5 days safari experience
We had an amazing experience with Banok Safaris on our 5 days Kenya safari! As a couple, we were looking for adventure and a bit of romance, this trip delivered it all. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, the wildlife sightings were unforgettable (we saw the big five!), and the lodges were beautiful and comfortable. I was happy everything was organized well from start to finish.
Highly recommend Banok Safaris for anyone looking for a seamless safari experience. We will be back!

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.

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!

Exceptional solo safari - highly recommend Banok Safaris
I booked a 3 days solo safari to the Masai Mara with Banok Safaris, and it turned out to be the best travel experiences I have ever had. Everything was well organized, smooth, and tailored to my needs. My guide was incredibly knowledgeable and made sure I never missed a moment. The camp I stayed, Banok booked for me was very cozy and meals food was great. I highly recommend Banok Safaris to any traveler looking for a memorable stress free, and truly magical experience. I will correctly choose them again.

Trip of a Lifetime with Banok Safaris
We recently returned from an unforgettable journey with Banok Safaris, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Benson did a phenomenal job designing and customizing our itinerary to suit our interests and needs perfectly.
Exceptional Accommodations
Each camp and lodge we stayed in was unique and top-notch, offering a beautiful mix of décor, charm, and stunning scenery. The staff were consistently warm, gracious, and attentive—making us feel welcome and cared for throughout our stay.
Outstanding Guide Service
Our guide, Eric, was truly exceptional. From the moment we met him, he was welcoming, knowledgeable, and incredibly thoughtful. His driving skills and wildlife expertise made every game drive exciting and safe. On our very first day, we saw four of the Big Five within just two hours!
Above and Beyond Care
Eric’s kindness stood out when my aunt had difficulty getting in and out of the vehicle due to her knee and hip. Without hesitation, he went out and purchased a step stool to make things easier for her—a gesture that meant the world to us.
If you're considering a safari, we wholeheartedly recommend Banok Safaris. Their attention to detail, personalized service, and genuine care made this a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
