Tow days of peace outside the city..
5/5

I was in Kenya for work, and I was looking for some peace during the holidays. This trip was the right decision. My guide Philip was very patient and knowledgeable - he stopped the car at the right place and showed us lions, leopards, hippopotamus and even a herd of deer. The most impressive view in the morning, from my tent to Mt. Kilimanjaro was showing up!
The official trip to Masai Village was a little uncomfortable for me alone, but for those who have never seen anything like this before, it can be a good experience. All in all, it was a perfect weekend getaway.

We came for the animals, stayed for the drama - Masai Mara madness!
5/5

This 4-day Masai Mara safari was one of the best trips of our lives. Guide Simon was extremely experienced and patient, and his knowledge of animals is remarkable. he gave us one great moment after another in every day's game drive. we saw all of the Big Five - especially one morning when we saw a cheetah hunting, which was breathtaking. the experience of staying in the luxury lodge was also very comfortable and enjoyable.....🥱🛌 my family and I will always remember this trip.

Touch of the Wild Beneath the Open Sky.
5/5

This 6 day trip was one of the best experiences of my life. I was able to see four of the Big Five in Masai Mara in one day. The sight of the flamingos of Lake Nakuru and that shimmering lake has touched the heart. And behind Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli National Park, the sight of huge elephants was unforgettable. The Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris team is extremely professional and compassionate. Every day was well planned.

3 Days in the Wild Beauty of Samburu: Discovering a Different Kenya.
5/5

Three days of adventure in the wild beauty of northern Kenya The most unique and special part of my visit to Kenya was the visit to Samburu. Starting from Nairobi and moving towards the north, the nature has become more rugged and dramatic. But the beauty here is different - I am surprised to see the reticulated giraffe and the long-necked gerenuk! Our guide, Philip, was excellent, explaining the behavior of each animal patiently. And what a strange feeling it is to see crocodiles sitting on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River! Bencia Africa introduces me to another Kenya - it's not just Masai Mara; Samburu is also a great destination.

Where every moment becomes memorable..!!
5/5

The 2-day 1-night Amboseli safari from Nairobi was truly a memorable experience. Getting so close to nature while being away from the hustle and bustle of the city was a unique experience. Our driver and guide were very friendly and experienced. He took us to the right places at the right time so that we could see elephants, lions, leopards, giraffes, hippos, and even wildebeests up close. The view of Mt. Kilimanjaro covered in clouds was truly unforgettable! The most amazing moment was when we saw a large group of elephants as the sun rose, and behind them stood a huge.

We stayed in a mid-budget lodge, which was located inside the park. From the lodge, we could see the animals roaming the open plains right from the windows. The food was delicious, and the service was simply excellent. Even though this was a short safari, the experience will be one of the best memories of our lives. For those who are short on time but want to see nature up close, this is a perfect tour. Many thanks to the Bencia team.

Elephant kingdom in Amboseli and a three-day jeep adventure in the shadow of Kilimanjaro..
5/5

As we set out from the hustle and bustle of Nairobi, only one thought crossed my mind - spend a few days in the midst of nature in Amboseli National Park, and if the mood is good, the snowy peaks of Kilimanjaro can also be seen!

I loved the private safari, and Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris did just that. The car arrived on time, and the driver and guide, Joseph, were very sincere and experienced. On the first day itself, we saw a huge herd of elephants, who were walking slowly on the dusty path together - that scene still floats in my eyes.

My stay was in a beautiful lodge - quiet, comfortable, and surrounded by greenery. The food was excellent - a great mix of local cuisine and Western dishes.

Every morning and afternoon, Joseph would take us out on a game drive. I didn't know how to fly when I saw hyenas, cheetahs, giraffes, and colorful birds". One evening the guide said," "Keep your eyes on the left,"" and what a surprise - a family of lions was lounging... Read more comfortably on the side of the road"!

The best moment was in the morning, sitting with coffee in hand and looking at Kilimanjaro. The top of the mountain was slowly glowing with golden light. It was one of the most peaceful moments of my life.

Those three days were like a dream. Bencia Africa's team has designed the entire experience to perfection. If you want to experience the real beauty, wildlife, and pure nature of Africa for once in your life, then choose this 3-Day Amboseli Jeep Safari-Tie.

I'm sure I'll be back - maybe in another park, but the guide and the company will be the same: Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris.

The perfect blend of wildlife, nature, and peace.
5/5

I had a wonderful 7-day trip to Kenya. The tour started from Nairobi, then went around Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and finally Amboseli National Park, Every Place was a different experience.

Lake Naivasha was a peaceful paradise for me. We had the opportunity to stay at the Lake Naivasha Country Club, and to be honest, it was the perfect place to relax and unwind. Sitting on the bank of the lake, listening to the chirping of the birds, time seemed to have stopped. When I saw the pelicans and hippopotamuses so closely on the boat ride, it felt like I was in the middle of a documentary.

Masai Mara was the highlight of the trip! I saw numerous lions, elephants, giraffes, and even cheetahs up close. Our guide was very knowledgeable and explained everything to us.

The experience of seeing pink flamingos and rhinoceroses in Lake Nakuru was memorable. The last days were spent in Amboseli; the sight of elephants in the background of Kilimanjaro became a picture.

The... Read more entire trip was of high quality - from the vehicle, guide, food, and accommodation. Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris organized the entire trip very efficiently.

an extraordinary experience of the amazing beauty and rare wildlife of northern Kenya
5/5

I took part in a 3-day Samburu Safari with Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris, and honestly, the experience was beyond our expectations. Our guide was very experienced and very well explained about the animals and the environment. We felt safe, comfortable, and well-organized throughout the trip. The Samburu region was quite different—much less crowded, more wild, and with a quietness of nature. It is a unique experience to get a chance to see special wildlife such as the reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, and Grevy's zebra. It was really fascinating to see crocodiles along the Ewaso Nyiro River and enjoy the sunset in that environment. I must say, if you want to taste the lesser-known but extremely rich nature and wildlife of Northern Kenya, then this 3-day Samburu Safari will be an excellent choice for you..

Unforgettable experience in Tsavo West, Amboseli and Tsavo East!
5/5

We recently booked a five day Tsavo West, Amboseli, and Tsavo East safari through Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris, and it was simply amazing!

Our trip began in Mombasa, and from there it was like entering a new world. The vast savannah of Tsavo West the amazing Mzima Springs, and the presence of countless wildlife amaze us. After reaching Amboseli National Park, the view of Kilimanjaro made our experience even more dreamy. The view from the huge herd of elephants, zebras, giraffes, and lions here was truly incredible. Then a group of elephants roaming on the red soil in Tsavo East looked like a picture!

Our guide explained in detail about each animal and their behavior; he was very efficient and knowledgeable. Every moment of the safari was enjoyable, and everything was so well organized that we did not have any problems..
