Excellent guide, amazing food and great wildlife
These 7 Days Samburu, Aberdares (Treetops) Lake Nakuru & Masai Mara Safari will be truly memorable for us. From the beginning, our guide Joseph took care of everything very carefully. Because of his experience, I was able to see rare wildlife in Samburu such as Reticulated Giraffe and Grevy's Zebra from close quarters.
Aberdares (Treetops) - Sitting in front of the lodge at night, it was like magic to see animals coming from inside the forest. And let's talk about everyday food separately - the food cooked by our Radhuni completely forgot the exhaustion of the safari. Always warm, homey and delicious.
The rhino and the flamingo in Lake Nakuru, and finally the Big Five in Masai Mara - all together, Bencia Africa Adventure and Safaris has given us a wonderful experience.
A Very Well-Planned Safari
Our 5 day safari trip with Bencia Africa Adventure and Safaris was very well done. First of all, going to the Ol Pejeta Conservancy and seeing the northern white rhino was a really different experience. A visit to Sweetwater's Chimpanzee Sanctuary is also a must.
Then the sighting of numerous flamingos and rhinos in Lake Nakuru was the major attraction of the trip. Spending the last days at Masai Mara was the best part of the safari - I got to see the lion, elephant and giraffe up close. Accommodations were clean and the food was good. The entire trip was hassle-free.
Good guide, beautiful park and comfortable ride
Our 5-day safari trip was beautifully organized from start to finish. Seeing the elephant herd in Amboseli, the movement of zebras and wildebeest - I could see everything very clearly.
After going to Tsavo East, it was nice to see the large open area of the park and the red-dust elephants. And a visit to the inner Mzima Springs in Tsavo West was a unique experience - it was great to see hippos in the clear water.
The guide was very knowledgeable and made the game drive on time every day. The safari was very comfortable and stress-free. I will definitely recommend this package.
Дводневни сафари на језеру Мањара–Нгоронгоро: Сваки тренутак је био вау!
Ова два дана ће ми остати у веома лепом сећању. На путу из Аруше ка језеру Мањара, водич је на одличан начин објашњавао целу руту. Заиста сам био импресиониран када сам видео слонове, жирафе и бројне фламингосе у језеру Мањара. Смештај и храна су били веома удобни. Следећег јутра у кратеру Нгоронгоро, отишао сам у други свет - изблиза сам видео лавове, мајмуне, зебре, па чак и носороге. Цело путовање је било на време, а Bencia Africa Adventure and Safaris је савршено организовала цело путовање.

A challenging but great experience
The 5-day hike to Mount Kenya was truly unforgettable for me. The first few days on the Sirimon Trail I enjoyed walking through the dry forest and the big trees. Due to the rocky terrain on the way we had to walk a little slower in some places, but the views make us forget the fatigue.After reaching the Mackinders Valley, the whole place looks like a new world – a calm, cool and wonderful landscape. When descending the Chogoria route I was really impressed by the green bamboo zone, the waterfalls and the Gorges Valley. The guide was very patient and helpful, so the entire trip was safe and comfortable.

My family and I went on a safari through them, an experience not to be missed! Accommodation, food, transport, everything was perfect. We saw a lot of animals. Bencia Africa Adventure and Safaris is a truly reliable travel company.
Perfect for First-Time Safari Travelers
This 2 day safari has become very memorable for us. As soon as I entered Lake Manyara, I saw monkeys and elephants, later the moment of seeing flamingos near the lake was very beautiful.The day at the Ngorongoro Crater was the highlight of the entire trip - it was a truly extraordinary feeling to see so many animals close up at the bottom of the crater. Our guide was very experienced and handled everything comfortably throughout the trip. It's a very good safari for a short time.

Great Midrange Safari Experience
We stayed for 4 days and really enjoyed it. Since the departure from Nairobi, the guide explained everything in a very friendly way. In the first game drive in Masai Mara, we saw lions and elephants - it was a big surprise for us.
The lodge was also cozy, and I enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere while sitting outside in the evening. It is worth remembering the moment of having lunch next to the Mara River. Another highlight of the trip was the sighting of flamingos and rhinos at Lake Nakuru. Everything was well organized throughout the trip.
ΠELEPHANT EXPERIENCE FIVE DAYΠ
The 5-day Tsavo West, Amboseli & Tsavo East safari was a great experience.I love the views of Tsavo West and Mzima Springs.Seeing the herd of elephants in front of Kilimanjaro in Amboseli - the best moment of the trip.In the end, the days have been more enjoyable to see a lot of wildlife in Tsavo East.A perfect break from Mombasa.

Luxury Private Masai Mara and Great Wildebeest Migration!
When it was said "private safari, only you and the guide," even then I did not understand how luxurious it could be. The 4 × 4 Jeep that came from Nairobi, I understood that this time it will be a different level of experience. Our guide was Samuel - calm, impossibly wise and always smiling. For four days it was just the two of us and Samuel - no crowds, no rush.As soon as I stepped into Masai Mara, I felt like I was on the set of the biggest film in the world. Thousands of wildebeest and zebra-like black-and-white waves are playing in the sea of golden grass. Samuel took us to the Mara River. Standing there, I saw thousands of wildebeest crossing the river - crocodiles leaping, dust flying, the sky and the air shaking with roars and screams. When you see this scene in front of your eyes, you stop talking.On the first morning, we took a hot air balloon ride. We got up at 5 am and saw the entire Masai Mara at sunrise – the fields covered in red light, herds of wildebeest below and the shadow of Kilimanjaro in the distance. Luxury Private doesn't just mean comfort, it means being alone with nature in your own way. These 4 days are the most precious memories of my life. It's more than the happiness that money can buy. I'll go again – maybe on my honeymoon this time!

First time on a Kenyan safari, and that too with Bencia Africa
This 5-day tour of Amboseli, Tsavo West and Tsavo East was truly incredible. The first day at Amboseli was filled with the sight of a huge herd of elephants in the backdrop of Kilimanjaro. Then seeing hippos and fish under the crystal clear waters of Mzima Springs in Tsavo West, and the black volcanic landscape of the Shetani Lava Flow - it was like being on another planet! The red soil of Tsavo East and the herds of red elephants have impressed one and all.
Guide Richard is amazing - he used to tell the names of every animal, habits, even small stories so beautifully that it never felt boring. Beds and car were very comfortable and the food was excellent. The team at Bencia Africa planned everything so perfectly that we just won. For those who want to see real nature and wildlife, this tour is perfect.
The two-day safari was absolutely perfect!
Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater!Joseph, our driver-guide, picked us up from our hotel in Arusha on time.He has the eyes of an eagle! Showing tree-climbing lions at Lake Manyara (I thought it was only in the picture!) A large family of elephants is drinking water by the lake, giraffes around, thousands of flamingos. The forest and the hot springs were beautiful.On the second day the Ngorongoro Crater was full of magic. At 6:30 a.m., the first jeep down, the first hour at the crater, was almost ours. The Big Five (including two black rhino cubs!) Hyena's baby, the golden jackal, and a giant male lion walked just 5 meters away from our jeep - the moment of awakening! Don't miss a picnic lunch between hippos and birds near Ngoitoktok Springs.We opted for budget camping at the Panorama campsite - the tents are simple but clean, dinner and breakfast are good, and the sunset views from the crater rim are spectacular. Bencia Africa has delivered more than it promised. Brilliant staff, great service and great value for money. In the meantime, I'm planning Kenya next time with them!

Reticulated Giraffe and Crocodiles of Ewaso Nyiro – Dream Trip with Bencia
I had the opportunity to go on a 3-day Samburu Safari organized by Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris Ltd from Nairobi last month. It was truly one of the most exciting trips of my life. Our guide was Joseph - a very experienced, patient and cheerful man. He explained the names, behavior, history of each animal and place so well that it seemed that we were not only on safari, but also deeply connected with the nature of Samburu.When we reached the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River in the morning, the water of the river was glistening in the light of the sunrise and the reticulated giraffes were eating the leaves of the tree with long necks. Then I saw the Long-Necked Gerenuk - they seemed to pick up food from the high branches of the tree, it was amazing! Large crocodiles were basking in the sun along the river, and Joseph showed us everything from a safe distance.Lunch was under the roof of the lodge - fresh fruit, hot bread, grilled meat and salad. Everything was so carefully prepared that the fatigue wore off in an instant. Game drive again in the afternoon - this time I saw elephants, zebras, oryx and a cheetah in the distance! At night, sitting by the campfire, Joseph talked about the culture of the Samburu tribe.Accommodation was comfortable, clean and close to nature. Overall, the management of Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris Ltd. was perfect. It was a privilege to have a guide like Joseph. Samburu Safari is a must for those who love nature and wildlife.

Flamingo dreams with the Big Five – 4-day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru magic!
The car picked us up from our hotel in Nairobi in the morning. Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris Ltd’s 4-day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru safari started with a smile on the face of driver David. David is not just a driver, he is like a running GPS and a friend of wildlife! Along the way, he told stories about Maasai culture, and in the blink of an eye, he identified a herd of zebras in the distance.My heart skipped a beat as soon as I set foot in Masai Mara. Vast fields, acacia trees in the distance and suddenly an elephant’s call! Golden grasslands, a sky touching the horizon and the roar of a lion! David took us to a pride – a mother lioness lying in the sun with her cubs, and in the distance a cheetah sitting on a tree branch waiting for prey. In the afternoon, we saw the great migration of thousands of wildebeest – an earth-shaking sight!The food prepared by chef James was magical. Crispy chicken, fresh salad and grilled goat meat for dinner. Everyone sat down to eat together, it felt like a family picnic.Day 3 Lake Nakuru. The lake is pink with millions of flamingos! David took us to the rhino sanctuary – two white rhinos with their mothers eating grass. Hippos were submerged in the water by the lake, occasionally yawning. Baboons were jumping from trees and looking at our picnic basket – David said with a laugh, “They are smarter than us!”The accommodation was comfortable, clean and in the lap of nature. David would call us every morning with hot coffee, “Let’s go, we will see leopards today!” And James’s dessert – chocolate cake and fruit salad – was unforgettable. Bencia’s car, punctuality, security – everything was perfect. I saw four of the Big Five in 4 days, and the sea of flamingos cannot be erased from my mind. I will go again – maybe this time in the rainy season!

Thank you bencia.
I am very happy with the experience with bencia. We told them what parks we wanted to see and in what order, and they have managed airport pickup, park-to-park journeys, and lodgings. The driver george has got us an unforgettable experience. He has taken us through all the parks. He has driven all hours of the day to make our trip unforgettable. And he's got us to see absolutely every aninal. A spectacular dedication. when the 4x4 suffered a small breakdown, he quickly managed a mechanic so we would not waste time leaving. George, I give you a 10/10. And what to say about george the cook, who has taken care of us as if we were his family. A humble, close worker, and good professional. George, I'm giving you a 10/10 too. You've made my family and I a happy memory forever.

A beautiful and peaceful safari trip
The 3-day Samburu Safari from Nairobi was a great experience for me. Everything was well organized by Bencia Africa. It was nice to see the pineapple fields and green villages on the way. Reached Samburu and saw the reticulated Giraffe, Gerenuk and Grevy's Zebra - absolutely real life National Geographic! It was very exciting to see crocodiles and elephants along the Ewaso Nyiro River. The view of the sunset behind the mountain in the evening is really touching. The guide was very friendly and explained everything with a smile.

We took a 6-day, 7-night safari through the best parks in Kenya: Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Amboseli and Tsavo West. We were lucky to see and complete the Big Five! 🐘🦁🐆🐃🦏Our driver George was amazing. He did his best to make us enjoy the safari to the fullest: he stopped whenever we saw any animals and let us watch them as long as we wanted. Thanks to him, we live unforgettable moments.The cook, George 2, was also outstanding. He tried very hard at every meal and always attended with a smile any request we made.They are both wonderful people who made us feel at home throughout the week.

It was a perfect experience in Amboseli National Park. Everything went perfectly. I can rate the company, with which I've been on safari three times, as good and trustworthy. Thank you.
Nice Safari Experience in Amboseli
From Nairobi, we spent three days at Amboseli Safari. The trip was beautiful. The guide took his time and showed patience everywhere. On the first day, I saw a lot of elephants, giraffes and zebras. When the sun rises in the morning, Kilimanjaro mountain can be seen, it looks very beautiful. The meals were tasty and the lodging was tidy and cozy. The entire trip was peaceful and well-organized.
Dream Safari with Kilimanjaro Views
It was an amazing three-day safari. Elephants were so serene and majestic that we spotted a lot of them on the first day! The sight of a group of elephants walking in the background of Mount Kilimanjaro is still visible today. Everyone in our small group was friendly, and the guide was very patient and explained everything. On the afternoon of the second day, we saw the resting scene of a lion family - it was incredibly close. The sound of the fox around the lodge at night, and the golden light when the sun rises in the morning - all in all a movie-like atmosphere. This well-organized safari will make a place in anyone's mind.
