Great time, great guide Francis, Thanks Fortune for organizing, we made memories of a lifetime
We decided to book our honeymoon with Benson Safaris (8 days of safari, 4 days in Zanizbar)
Everything was perfectly prepared. All chosen lodges were clean and comfortable. The days were well organized and planned. Our guide Francis was so dedicated and knowledgeable, because of him we managed to have so many beautiful experiences and see wildlife in action. Our operator Fortune was also very good and professional, responsive and was helplful from the day we started planning till the day we came back. Very very recommended to go with Benson Safaris

Staff gives excellent service; our driver and guide went the extra mile to cater to our needs
There were 6 of us in the safari tour: our ages were late 50s to early 80s. I had problems in ambulation as I have two prosthetic lower limbs. From the airport pickup in Kilimanjaro up to airport sendoff to the Seronera Airstrip in the Serengeti, our able and efficient driver and tour guide, ZABLON, took care of us, going the extra mile to care for our needs. He provided a footstool so as I will have less difficulty in climbing up the safari vehicle. He made sure everyone is feeling all right during the beginning of the day and at the end of our adventures in the evening. Zablon made sure I will walk less by driving nearer washrooms or to our designated camp tents. Those little things really mattered a lot. Zablon also proved that he is an expert in the national parks, as he was patient to point out and explain the wild animals to us. He took a lot of time exploring the Tangire National Parks, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater. I highly recommend Benson Safaris to anyone who is interested in having a great once-in-a-lifetime experience.

We had a great experience with Benson Safaris. Our safari driver, Zablon was so caring and helpful to our senior citizens group. We highly recommend this company. We had an experience of a life time. Thank you Benson, Zablon for your excellent services. Rakesh Minocha

Outstanding Tanzania safari - 6 days
Thanks to Benson Safari for making this happen. Appreciate the prompt communication prior to our trip and willingness to work with me in building a customized itinerary to meet our needs. Thanks to Mr Benson, Grace and Paul Balthasar Ngoty, our driver and guide. 1) Witnessed absolute magic at Mara River in Northern Serengeti. Saw multiple wildebeest crossings across the river on Aug 20 and 21. From Kenya back to Tanzania. Early for this time of year. Great stay at Aurari tented camp, about 45 minutes from the river (will post separate review under Aurari). 2) Enjoyed our stay at Serena lodge in Central Serengeti, 3) Miracle Air balloon ride was fantastic….saw lions, elephants and lots of deer and zebras (will try to post separate review). 4) Magic again inside Ngorongoro crater (witnessed a lioness kill a wildebeest) with a 2 day stay at Serena in Ngorongoro (will try to post separate review), 4) Finally stopped by at a Masai village (will try to post separate review if possible under Paulo Emanyata, name of village, with young Chief Paulo giving us a grand tour) on the way back to Arusha and onto Kilimanjaro.
Make sure you have a good pair of binoculars and a good camera w a powerful zoom lens (400mm).
Vegetarian food is not an issue at all the lodges and camps. The Chefs were extremely flexible and worked with us to provide great Indian vegetarian food.; even food without garlic if that’s in line with your liking.
Be prepared for rugged terrain (bouncy) with a lot of dust.
Have a lot of patience and rise up early and be prompt with your multiple game drives. Request lodges to pack lunch daily for you; this way you maximize your time spent on watching the crossings or going on game drives.
Great country - Tanzania and great people. Loved every day of our stay.
Finally don’t forget to buy Napenda (“ I like” in Swahili) coffee from Mr Benson. He owns a coffee farm.
Asante sana ( picked up some Swahili and people thought I was a local.)

GREAT AND BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE
We’ve traveled with Benson Safaris twice now, and both times were absolutely wonderful. Everything went exactly as planned. Our guide, Liberatus was friendly, experienced, and incredibly skilled at spotting wildlife. He patiently showed us all kinds of animals and made the experience unforgettable.
The accommodations were excellent, and we were always served delicious meals. Everything was reliable and perfectly organized. I can wholeheartedly recommend Benson Safaris to anyone looking for a memorable adventure.
Thanks to Benson, we now have beautiful memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you!
