Amazing, experienced and warm
As a trip of a lifetime for the family, this safari had to be extra special and Benson Safaris ensured that every step of the way we were given one of the most amazing experiences we will ever have. From shaping the right trip for us, to pre-planning check lists to the most wonderfully warm and experienced staff, I cannot speak highly enough of the service we had.
We deliberately chose a local operator, not only to support local businesses but to also have a more personal touch.
Dolphine was always on hand to answer any queries while our guide Liberatus was so friendly and immensely experienced (he's been driving safaris for more than 15 years) - giving us confidence that we would have the best wildlife sightings timed to avoid the larger crowds. He even managed to find us two sightings of leopards, which are notoriously hard to spot!
The children gave up the count of the number of different species we saw at 30 plus but the incredible images and memories of four days on the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater will stay with us forever.

Simba and his team of Zeb, Lebe, Ksey were excellent. They were on time, efficient and super friendly! Our tour criss crossed Tanzania and they were very good on keeping our tour timely. They all shared with us informative backgrounds on the parks, Tanzania and the culture. It was an unbelievable trip and one I will always cherish.

Benson Safaris made our Kenya–Tanzania anniversary trip unforgettable, with amazing guides
We travelled with Benson Safaris for our Kenya and Tanzania trip, and honestly, it was one of the best travel experiences we’ve had.
From the start, the whole trip was very well planned. We crossed the Kenya–Tanzania border and then came back into Kenya, and all the immigration and border formalities were surprisingly smooth. The team was always there to guide us and help whenever needed, which made a big difference.
The accommodations were another highlight. We stayed at some really beautiful places, but Olerai Lodge, Friends Camp and Khumbu Khumbu Luxury Resorts deserve a special mention. Each one had its own charm, and the food throughout the trip was genuinely excellent. After spending hours out on safari, coming back to a good meal and a comfortable place to stay was something we really appreciated.
Our guides, Martin and Zab, were a huge part of what made the trip special. Martin was very knowledgeable and patient, and you could tell that he genuinely enjoyed what he was doing.
And then there was Zab — the Mayor of Serengeti!
Honestly, I’m not sure how the trip would have been without him. He talked constantly, cracked jokes, knew everyone we came across, and somehow always seemed to know where the animals were. But beyond being a great guide, he became a friend during the trip. Some of our best memories are simply from sitting in the jeep listening to Zab talk about life, the Serengeti and pretty much everything else.
He has this wonderful way of looking at life — simple, positive and full of humour. By the end, it felt less like we had hired a guide and more like we were travelling around with a friend who happened to know the Serengeti incredibly well.
The actual safari experience was unbelievable. The Great Migration, the river crossings, lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, zebras, wildebeests, hippos and all the smaller animals in between — there was something new every single day. What I really liked was that the guides didn’t just point out animals; they helped us understand what was happening around us and how the whole ecosystem fits together.
We did this trip to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, so it was already going to be a special trip for us. But Benson Safaris and the team made it much more memorable than we expected.
A big thank you to everyone at Benson Safaris, to Martin, and especially to Zab, the Mayor of Serengeti, for making this such an incredible experience.
We would happily travel with Benson Safaris again. And if we do make it back to the Serengeti someday, I really hope the Mayor is still around to show us around.

Wonderful adventure with A Male Of Serengeti, Zablon！！
I want to say big big thank you to my new brother Zablon. He always thinking about what is the best for the traveler.
I was truly amazed when he took the opposite route from most guides and found so many animals in quiet, deserted places. It's undoubtedly thanks to Zabu that we were able to see all of the Big Five and every aspect of the beautiful yet harsh Serengeti. He believes that nature is something to be felt, not just seen. He also takes care to ensure that everyone in the Serengeti can enjoy it fairly, being considerate of other vehicles and travelers. This is why Zabu is known as "A Male of Serengeti," and he is undoubtedly a professional safari guide.
Also I apprentice to all the members of Benson Safari. They gave me a big welcome from our first contact via e-mail to the final drop-off to the airport.
Dolphine acted as a bridge between me and Benson Safaris, providing 100% support until the very last moment of my trip. Thanks to her kindness, I was able to enjoy the trip with peace of mind until the end. She is definitely a professional agent.
Mr.Benson who is the director of Benson Safari gave me a lot of lessons. Before trip I called Africa, but after trip I call Home. He truly loves nature and taught me to enjoy every single moment of life. He's our best boss.
With Benson and this amazing team, I'm confident everyone can enjoy safaris and life with a smile.
Once again, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to this professional team and end my journey with a big smile. I want to cherish this connection. This time, due to scheduling constraints, I traveled alone, but next time I want to bring my friends from Japan. See you again, Hakuna Matata🤞
