An incredible experience with a small downside
Our 7-day adventure was truly unforgettable, featuring waterfalls, ponds, lakes, a safari, a hot air balloon ride, and even flights and boat trips. The highlights of our safari included Ngorongoro Crater, Central Serengeti, and Northern Serengeti, which were absolutely breathtaking.
Benson Safaris did a fantastic job organizing the entire trip and making sure everything went smoothly. A special thanks to Zablon, our tour guide, who was more than just a guide—he was an adventure partner! He was kind, attentive, and instrumental in ensuring we saw the Big Five, along with countless other amazing animals. We celebrated together, shared meals, and enjoyed beers under the African sky. It was a fantastic experience, and Zablon played a huge role in making it special.
The only downside was the flight from Serengeti (Seronera airstrip) to Zanzibar. Despite our early planning and multiple communications well in advance, the flight tickets were purchased too close to the departure date. As a result, we had to take three separate flights on the same day, instead of the direct flight we had hoped for. This added unnecessary stress and made our journey to Zanzibar more tiring than expected. We essentially lost almost an entire day in transit, which was frustrating, especially after such an exciting safari.
But all in all, it was an incredible trip. The minor flight issue didn’t overshadow the incredible experiences we had. Highly recommend Benson Safaris for anyone looking to explore the wonders of Tanzania!

Exceptional
My husband and I had the most amazing experience in Tanzania. Benson and his team took care of all the details. We just had to show up, relax, and enjoy. We are very particular about our accommodations and every location exceeded our expectations. Our driver, Francis, made the experience "next level". He was knowledgeable with identifying the animals, providing historical context of the regions and culture. He also had a keen eye for spotting animals. Most importantly, he was very patient and expertly navigated the rugged terrain in a safe way.
In addition to the safari, Benson organized our stay in Zanzibar. Again, he connected us with excellent drivers and tour guides who made our beach stay enjoyable. We ran into a small challenge at the hotel in Zanzibar and we called Benson. He took care of it and it was a huge relief for us.
We highly recommend Benson Safaris.

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.
