Great Experience!
We went on a week-long safari with Bensons in February and are extremely satisfied! The safari exceeded all our expectations. We saw all the major animal species found there and learned a lot about the animals, nature, and their protection in the national parks. A big thank you goes to Simba, our excellent guide! He knew an incredible amount and answered all our many questions patiently and with a wealth of background knowledge and experience.
The lodges were also great without exception, surrounded by nature, all with Wi-Fi, hot water, mosquito nets in mosquito areas, and comfortable beds. The staff was very attentive and there were usually varied buffets.
Our tour included the Tarangire, Ndutu, and Serengeti National Parks, as well as the Ngorongoro Crater. We highly recommend it all. Bensons put together a great itinerary for us and made all our wishes come true. Thank you very much, we will definitely be back!
Benson, always taking care of clients and fulfill itinerary with love and pleasure.
Me and my friend had an outstanding experience with Bensons Safaris.
From the first contact to the last day, everything was handled professionally. We chose the all inclusive package, and it delivered exactly what was promised. No surprises. No stress. Just a well organized safari where we could focus on the experience.
Our driver, Liberatus, was exceptional, hats off to him. Calm, knowledgeable, and fully in control. He managed expectations well and made sure every day ran smoothly. You could feel his experience. He know when to wait, when to move, sometimes VERY fast but safe, and how to position the vehicle for the best views. That matters.
The stay in Karatu at Eileens Lodge was a five star moment. Service minded staff. Smiling faces. Clean rooms and GREAT food. After a long day out, it was the perfect landing place to recharge.
If you want a safari that is structured, reliable and delivered with care, I can confidently recommend Benson Safaris. They earned full credit. Top notch.

Benson Safari - a dream
We embarked on an 8-day safari with Benson Safari – a trip that couldn't have been more adventurous, exciting, or diverse.
The tour took us to some of Tanzania's most breathtaking regions: Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti, Lake Eyasi, and Lake Manyara. Each stop captivated us with unique landscapes and unforgettable experiences.
We were incredibly fortunate to see the Big Five, cheetahs, and vast herds of wildebeest and zebra. Observing the animals in such diverse landscapes was an incredibly impressive and unique experience.
Another highlight of our safari was undoubtedly visiting two tribes: the Hadzabe and the Datoga. Accompanied by a very friendly and experienced guide, we learned about their different ways of life. We went hunting with the Hadzabe hunters and witnessed how they prepare their game. With the Datoga tribe, we were amazed to see how arrowheads are made from simple nails and how maize flour is produced in their traditional mud huts. The warm hospitality and infectious joy of life we experienced with both tribes were particularly touching. We will always cherish these memories.
The organization of the trip was outstanding. A special thank you goes to Dolphine, who planned the safari with great care, professionalism, and attention to detail. Everything ran smoothly, and we felt perfectly looked after from the very beginning. The lodges and tented lodges she selected for us were wonderful – with breathtaking views, excellent food, and incredibly friendly staff. Our expectations were more than exceeded – everything was perfect from the outset.
We also met Dolphine personally at the end of the safari. She visited us in Arusha upon our departure to ensure that our onward journey to Zanzibar went smoothly and that we left Tanzania with big smiles. In addition, she organized a transfer for us in Zanzibar and promised that we could contact her anytime should we need her help on the island – truly exceptional service.
Thank you so much!
Last but not least: What would a safari be without a good guide? We were incredibly lucky to have Francis with us. He was always friendly, cheerful, patient, and excellent at tracking animals. Right from the start, he taught us some Swahili words, which we happily used when meeting locals. I would also like to mention his excellent driving skills, which he used to get us safely to the lodges on our game drives, even on bumpy and sometimes very muddy tracks. Francis's tireless dedication to meeting our needs played a major role in making this safari unforgettable.
This safari with Benson Safari exceeded our expectations in every way.
We wholeheartedly recommend this agency and would travel with them again in a heartbeat.

excellent!
We had excellent and professional service from Benson Safaris. Our driver and guide made sure we had everything possible to facilitate our stay throughout the trip. Even when we had some travel hiccups at the end of our trip (NOT Benson's fault), the company worked with us directly to develop alternative plans - always keeping our safety and enjoyment first.
Our trip was spectacular from start to finish. The accommodations were beautiful and truly more luxurious than I could have expected. The daily visits in the incredible parks were filled with animals and finding and spotting interesting creatures was a special talent of our guide, Zablon. We always felt very well taken care of. The overall experience was a fantastic one - highly recommend this tour and Benson's Safaris for your next trip!
