Best Safari Honest Great People!!!
I love Alfred! He is a super nice and really kind amazing guy. I went on two safaris with Benicia and Alfred's personal help and they were both some of the best experiences of my life. Alfred listened to what I wanted and got me such a great deal in several of the most amazing safari resorts of all time. I think I basically saw every animal I could imagine and the second time I went looking for birds he recommended the best site at crater lake lodge, lake naivasha, and lake nukuru. Totally recommend going with Alfred and Benicia if your in Nairobi- he's not shady or swindely, he's sweet and easy to communicate with, and he's an all around honest dude. Hope to come back soon.
The safari was fantastic.
I booked a safari to Masai Mara with Bencia Africa Adventure & Safari and i enjoyed every bit of it.The safari was awesome and we had the best tour guide who was friendly and knowledgeable.We saw many animals as promised as it was during the great migration of the wildebeest.The meals were good and we slept in one of the best camps.I recommend this company.

Alfred is AWESOME!
I booked two safaris and a Kilimanjaro climb package, with Alfred . He organized everything and things went much better than I had expected. I am a person with very high expectations and Alfred far exceeded my them. I highly recommend Bencia Africa Adventure And Safaris. Book with them and you will not be disappointed.

Very realiable, very dedicated, will always do the best for you. Lot of humor
These guys are nice and easy to communicate with, and they are more than dedicated to find the animals, actually they are almost overdedicated to that part. John is also a good chef. I highly recommend the company

I can recommend Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris
It was amazing safari trip with Bencia Africa Adventure. Their sales manager offered the best price we could find in internet. Special thanks to our guide J. M. Mwau and cook George (they are the best). Tips: try to put Maasai Mara National Park as the last point of your trip in Kenya cause it has everything you can find in other parks

Scammers- AVOID
We booked a car through Bencias office in Nairobi with Kennedy. The car was to take us from Nairobi to Amboseli and then to Emhali for a first class bus to Mombasa.
The car showed up on time in Nairobi and the ride to Amboseli was fine. We had to pay the driver 4000 Ksh to stay in the area for four days and then take us to the bus.
The day the driver was to appear he never did. A call to Ken and another car showed up about two hours later. These guys were locals in Amboseli and drive us to Emhali where we were supposed to get on the "First Class Bus". Of course when we got there they immediately started in on us about how Ken had ripped us off, was not paying them and the bus would not stop in Emhali. We awaited about two hours for the bus all the while listening to them tell us over and over how there was no bus. It was getting late and rather than have to spend the night in a very small and very scary town we agreed to let them drive us to Mtito which was about 90 minutes away at a cost of 9000Ksh. There was a local bus in Mtitto that took us to Mombasa at a cost of 1000 Ksh even though we had already paid Ken 7000 Ksh for a "First Class bus". We had no choice so went. We later found out the same bus stopped in Emhali earlier while we were arguing with the drivers
When we got back to Nairobi we visited Ken at the office and demanded a refund. We went back and forth and he agreed to a partial refund. If you have been keeping up we spent 4000 Ksh to keep the driver around, 7000 Ksh for the bus tickets we didn't use, 9000 Ksh to go to a different town and 2000 for the bus tickets we did use a total of 22,000 Ksh. We got a refund of 7000 Ksh.
These guys are scammers. They seem very nice but in the end they don't deliver.

Posted on Jun 23, 2015Hello sir ,
Sorry for what happened on your trip in kenya , i accept it was our mistake from Kennedy the Sales representative who was handling your booking was not booked the right bus to Mombasa . Kennedy was dismissed from our company as this case you wrote on through safari bookings ...
I assure you good service for next time trip..
Best regards

Wonderful experience on safari with Alfred!
I traveled with my family on a week-long safari with Alfred in 2006 when he was working with a different company, and we found him to be an especially warm, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful person... and a wonderful cook! He is hard-working, creative, energetic, someone who knows how to get things done, and truly a pleasure to spend time with. We had an unforgettable experience traveling with him all over Kenya, and I enthusiastically recommend him and his company.

Very reliable company with great rates - would definitely recommend
I traveled with Bencia Africa Adventures on more than one occasion, both for personal and professional travel. The team has always been extremely efficient, responsive, and offers reasonable rates. The safari operators were also very professional, and contributed to a great experience. I would definitely recommend you travel with these guys while in East Africa!
