once-in-a-lifetime experience!
5/5

Visiting Masai Mara was an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience! A huge thank you to Bencia Africa Adventure for taking such great care of me. Special credit goes to Alfred for seamlessly arranging everything, and to my driver-cum-guide, Geoff, for making the journey so special.

From the scenic road trip and thrilling game drives to staying in the eco-camp, visiting the Maasai village, enjoying great food, and having late-night chats—every single moment was pure magic. I truly had the time of my life!

We will never forget this trip in Kenya, wonderful journey with Bencia Africa
5/5

This is our first time travel in Africa, but I always wanted to go. Almost one year ago, I booked this trip with Bencia Africa, and Alfred helped us to settle all the details, very professional sales person.
After we arrived Nairobi, our tour guide George waited us at the exit already , and he is a helpful, warm-hearted, considered guy, since we chose a low season, and we don't want anything very rush, so George made our tour nice and easy. He always finds us nice spot to observe the animals we love, also explains lots of details on the animals and the background of these nice places. On the last day in Kenya, we need to go back to Nairobi from Amboseli, but there was a protest, it was dangerous, however George managed to get us to the airport early and safe, thanks a lot.
We chose Serena masai mara, Nakuru Sopa, Naivasha Sopa and Oltukai lodge, we love all of these hotels, but I think the best value for money would be the Sopa.

We love love this trip in Africa, and for sure, we want to visit Africa again in the near future.

The best safari experience
5/5

Amazing safari! I did 5 days in Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Hell's Gate. It's the perfect amount of days, you see the most important things and you also have time to rest. I reached out to the travel agency, Bencia African Tours and Safari directly and I upgraded the accommodations for premium inside each park. It's much better to stay in nice places after a lot of exploring, trust me!! And in some premium places even the animals come to you. The guides were very nice and the jeeps were super comfortable. Bencia made sure everything was perfect. Thank you!!

Great company, too bad for our driver
4/5

$1700 per person, 6 days
We visited Masai Mara, Hell's Gate & Amboseli.

Cons:
- Scam(ish) behaviour
We were meant to pay $33 to visit Crescent Island and $30 to get there by boat. When we checked our gps, we found out that the boat hadn't taken us to the island, just 1km farther along the shore. We stayed there 10 mins then we were told to go back. I called our driver and told him we refused to pay 63 dollars per person for this, so he agreed to only make us pay for the boat ride. We had only agreed to the boat ride because he'd told me it was the only way to reach the island. We never got to visit the island because there was no more time left.
- Our driver was constantly on his phone.
Not only while driving, but even during safaris he wasn't really looking for animals cause he was staring at his phone. When we did find animals, we obviously tried to be quiet and listen to nature but he'd be watching videos on facebook or talking on the phone and ruin the moment (and the videos we took).
- He would tell us to wake up at 5.30am to leave very early, then show up 30mins late.
- He made a misogynistic comment at us about my friend being the one who should make decisions because I'm a woman, and shaming him for not doing so.

Pros:
- sufficiently trustworthy
- best price we found
- accomodation was GREAT. good food, very good rooms, it felt like we paid for the budget option but got the luxury one.
- we met another staff member, in charge of making us food one night, and he was very very kind and a great cook
- they reply to texts and emails very quickly
- they are readily available if you want to change the arranged schedule in any way.
- there really aren't any additional expenses whatsover except the optional ones that are specified within the program. food, water, car fuel and anything you can think of are included in the agreed price.

second safari
5/5

I went on a safari with my wife and a friend. We loved the safari. We managed to see all of the Big Five and many other animals in a beautiful landscape. The hotels were great and comfortable. Our guide/driver was excellent, never stopping looking for animals and the best angles to admire them and take pictures. This was my second safari and I loved it both times.

I recommend the tour and the company.

Nice Safari Experience in Amboseli
5/5

From Nairobi, we spent three days at Amboseli Safari. The trip was beautiful. The guide took his time and showed patience everywhere. On the first day, I saw a lot of elephants, giraffes and zebras. When the sun rises in the morning, Kilimanjaro mountain can be seen, it looks very beautiful. The meals were tasty and the lodging was tidy and cozy. The entire trip was peaceful and well-organized.

An Unforgettable Kenyan Safari – Highly Recommended!
5/5

I recently completed a 7-day safari tour and I couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience. From start to finish, the journey was thoughtfully organized, rich in wildlife sightings, and full of breathtaking moments.

A special thanks to Mercy Komu, whose support truly made a difference. She was consistently attentive, responsive, and caring—especially when I needed assistance with seating arrangements due to a back condition. Her professionalism and genuine kindness helped make the trip smooth and enjoyable.

I highly recommend this tour company to anyone looking for a reliable and memorable safari in Kenya. Thank you for such an incredible adventure!
