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!

unforgettable adventure, made even more memorable by the impeccable organization and the outstanding
I recently had the privilege of experiencing a private safari in the Serengeti, and I can honestly say it was an unforgettable adventure, made even more memorable by the impeccable organization and the outstanding service provided!
From the moment I was picked up, everything was taken care of seamlessly. The transportation, tours, and hotel arrangements were all perfectly organized, allowing me to simply enjoy every moment without any worries. I even forgot which day it was 😁
The hotels we stayed in were fantastic, offering a comfortable and luxurious stay after long days of exploring the stunning wilderness.
A special shout-out goes to my tour guide, Zablon. He truly went above and beyond to ensure I had the most incredible experience. His knowledge of the Serengeti’s wildlife and environment was unmatched, and he made sure I had front-row views of all the incredible animals the park has to offer. Zablon’s passion for the land and its creatures was evident in everything he did, and he ensured that every moment of the safari was filled with awe and excitement. Thanks to him, I was able to witness some of the most breathtaking wildlife moments, from lions to a family of elephants passing by, cheetahs with their cubs…
If you're looking to immerse yourself in the magic of the Serengeti, I highly recommend this experience. Zablon and the entire team provided a top-tier adventure that I'll cherish forever ❤️

The best first safari experience!
We took a family trip of five with Benson Safari, and it was filled with joy and wonderful surprises, not only from the breathtaking beauty of Mother Nature, but also from the amazing people we met along the way.
From the very beginning, the booking process was smooth and stress-free. Grace and Benson were both incredibly patient and professional. They carefully listened to our needs and drafted a customized itinerary that perfectly fit our schedule.
Because we traveled across both Kenya and Tanzania, we had different guides in each country, and all of them are nice people to work with. Special thanks to Edmund and Obi, who are both knowledgeable, fun, patient, and wise. If you have the chance, I highly recommend spending as much time with each guide as possible. Through our conversations and shared moments, we came to appreciate not only their skill as guides, but also their depth as individuals. They shared insights that helped us avoid unnecessary hassles, and their exceptional talent for spotting wildlife made every game drive unforgettable.
This was our very first safari, and it truly exceeded our expectations. As we kept saying throughout the trip: we will definitely return for a second safari and when we do, Benson Safari will be our choice again.

The tour operators we had were Zab and Obi and both of them were great!
Our safari trip was a very enjoyable experience thanks to the wonderful tour guides Ob and Zab. They were very friendly and knowledgeable and did their best to ensure that we saw most of the animals. I definitely would definitely recommend Benson Safaris Tanzania!
