We had a really great time with Elly our guide and driver. He took excellent care of us and showed us some of the beautiful and awe-inspiring nature in Tanzania.

Unforgettable Family Adventure with Benson Safaris in Tanzania!
5/5

My family, including my wife, 12-year-old daughter, and I, embarked on an incredible safari to Tanzania last November with Benson Safaris, and the experience exceeded all our expectations. Our journey took us through the breathtaking landscapes of Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and the Ngorongoro Crater, and our base at Migombani Campsite, overlooking Lake Manyara, provided the perfect setting for an unforgettable adventure.

From the outset, Benson Safaris impressed us with their exceptional service and high standards. Our guide, a seasoned and safe driver, skillfully navigated the diverse terrains, ensuring our safety while enhancing our wildlife encounters. The camping equipment provided was top-notch, and the full-board arrangement, sometimes as a packed meal for early morning park visits, showcased their commitment to making our experience seamless.

Communication with the team was effortless, and they accommodated our food and beverage preferences with enthusiasm. A notable highlight was the in-vehicle fridge that magically produced ice-cold drinks mid-drive—a welcome touch of luxury in the heart of the wilderness.

A safari is always a game of chance, but with Benson Safaris, luck was on our side. Witnessing baby lions with their mother, cheetahs feasting on a recent kill, a thrilling close encounter with a majestic elephant, and a leopard hunting a baboon during a night drive were just a few of the mesmerizing moments that filled our days.

I highly recommend the extra expense to go on a night drive, which is a unique experience. We opted for a night drive in Lake Manyara, and the rewards were beyond our imagination. The nocturnal activities and the chance to witness the park's transformation under the moonlight added a layer of magic to our safari.

Amid rising costs, Benson Safaris' camping accommodation option emerged as a practical and comfortable choice for our small family. The well-organized setup by the dedicated staff allowed us to immerse ourselves in the adventure, and sleeping in tents added an extra element of excitement to our journey.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Benson Safaris to any family seeking to explore the wonders of the African wilderness. Their commitment to excellence, coupled with unforgettable wildlife encounters and a genuine sense of adventure, made our safari an experience of a lifetime. Thank you, Benson Safaris, for crafting memories that will forever hold a special place in our hearts!

Never disappointed with Benson Safaris
5/5

This safari adventure was an absolutely unforgettable experience. Our guide, Liberatus Kessy, who hails from Benson, is not only extremely professional but also boasts over a decade of safari experience. He tirelessly sought out wild animals for us, proving to be the best guide I've ever encountered. His expertise and dedication were evident as we had numerous sightings of lions, as well as the elusive "big five."

As a photographer,I am very eager to take satisfying photos, Liberatus consistently sought out the best angles for me, enabling me to capture many stunning photographs during this tour. The highlights were undoubtedly the breathtaking scenes in Ngorongoro and Ndutu, where the landscapes and wildlife provided a spectacular backdrop for my photography.

I am already looking forward to my next adventure with Benson Safaris and hope to return next year for another incredible experience.

Professional, knowledgeable, experienced, amazing
5/5

We were really surprised to see a negative review recently. We had a 17 day Safari with 7 transfers and everything went like clockwork. We had no problems with transfers, park entry or accommodation. We chose a medium accommodation package and were delighted with the quality of accommodation but were even more thrilled by the welcome of all the staff we met along the way. We had a mix of Safari camps and hotels and enjoyed the settings, food and hospitality of all of them. We spent time communicating with Yvlyn who couldn’t have been more helpful and knowledgeable in putting together our itinerary. It felt a bit more risky booking directly with a Tanzanian company (though an annual insurance policy should cover any problems) but both her and Benson’s professionalism was reassuring, and in doing it this way all the money went into the Tanzanian economy not a UK travel agent. Our trip was amazing, the warm welcome we had from our guide Zablon at Arusha airport was lovely after a long flight. Zablon helped us make the most of each destination, his driving was exceptional and his insights into Tanzania brought the holiday to life. We began with relaxing at Tumbili lodge which was an excellent oasis in Arusha. We began our safari adventure in Tarangire staying at Tortillis camp, then onto the unforgettable Ngorongoro Crater an absolute gem of a place with wildlife galore. From there to the Serengeti and GNU Migration camp where we were the only guests and treated like great friends, even by the local zebra and giraffe population. From the Serengeti on to Lake Natron to see the pink flamingos and trek with a Massai guide, finally ending with a few days of luxury at Lake Manyara best view hotel and a visit to Lake Manyara national park. All in all we could not fault Benson and his staff, we had a truly magical holiday.

Discovering Africa's Beauty and Wildlife
5/5

I recently had the pleasure of traveling with Benson Safaris Tanzania, and I can't express enough how amazing our experience was. We just returned home safely from our unforgettable trip to Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar at the beginning of January. This journey left us with cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

One of the highlights of our trip was visiting the Ndutu National Park. The sheer beauty and serenity of this place left me in awe. We also had the opportunity to explore the Serengeti and Tarangire, both of which were truly magnificent.

What made our experience truly exceptional was the unexpected surprise organized by Benson Safaris of my Boyfriend birthday. We had no idea about their plans, and it turned out to be an incredible surprise. The entire staff at Ndutu Safari Lodge came together to celebrate his birthday with us, and the experience was heartwarming. I was moved to tears by their genuine warmth and the beautiful singing.

Africa has always held a special place in my heart, and this trip reaffirmed my love for this continent. The connection to nature, the wildlife, and the people of Tanzania is something I will forever treasure.

Our guide, Zablon, deserves a special mention. His wealth of knowledge about the wildlife and the local ecosystems added a whole new layer of depth to our safari experience. Zablon's passion for wildlife was evident in every moment we spent with him, and his dedication to ensuring we had the best possible experience was truly commendable.

I would also like to express my gratitude to Benson, the owner of Benson Safaris, for taking the time to personally meet us upon our arrival. His warm welcome and friendly demeanor immediately made us feel like part of the Benson Safaris family. As an extra surprise, he generously gifted us with a kilo of coffee from his own farm. The coffee is not only delicious but also organic, reflecting his commitment to quality and sustainability.

In conclusion, I truly recommendet Benson!
