Great Safari with Benson
Rating:

My boyfriend and I took a 5 day safari with Benson during April. Our first trip to Africa and first safari, he answered all of our questions (we had several), gave us great info, and his staff picked us up from the airport. We saw so many wonderful animals (lions, cheetahs, giraffes, the list goes on..) and our guide was an excellent driver. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and ... Read moreLake Manyara. We also did a bike tour through a village and a last minute stop at a Maasai village. The jeep was comfy and enjoyed looking out of the pop-out roof.

Our cook was wonderful as well...and he makes the best soup ever! We were well-fed and well cared-for every step of the way from the moment they picked us up at the airport to the moment they dropped us off. It was an amazing vacation! Thanks so much Benson! And thank you to your amazing team for an experience I'll never forget!

Just lean back, relax and enjoy. Benson do everything so you don't have to worry about a thing during your safari. You can really trust that this safari company give you what they promise you. All aspects of the safari, from the comunication with the owner Benson prepearing your trip, guides, and acomondation, everything is excellent. I did not hesitate to recomend Benson safari when a colleague ... Read morewere going to Tanzania for safari. Her family also had a great safari with Benson. I had a great safari in Ngorongoro. The guide found all the big 5, he was experienced and pleasant. I came back to Arusha the following year. On this trip i got sick, and the only person i trusted to call was Benson. He helped me to find a good hospital and i got the treatment i needed. I have been on safari with another company in the aerea befor, but if I will come back for another safari in the future, I am sure I will book with Benson again. I highly recomend this safari company.

Thank you Benson! I booked when I arrived in Tanzania so I cannot comment on the 'communications' pre-trip. However, during the Safari, the communications between our small group and the driver were excellent. Ringo was calm, really funny, organized, patient, knowledgeable and lots of FUN! The service was (mostly) always excellent! Every day was a 8 or 9/10 on the 'perfect' scale ! Safar ... Read morei tour was beyond ordinary, everyday words. Surreal feelings every minute of the Safari....it was so amazing to think I was living one of my dreams, to be out living with those gorgeous animals and wildlife! Go with Benson Safaris to live out your Safari dream. You won't be disappointed ~ you will return home to want much more! James (Ringo) you were incredible. Thank you for an unforgettable time!

All-Around Impressive and Lovely

We had such an amazing 8-day safari with Benson Safaris. I researched and contacted many operators and knew right away that Benson put a great deal of care and attention to detail to make it a special experience; I'm so happy we went with his company. Every aspect of our trip was top-notch; the safari vehicle was one of the nicest we saw at the parks (very comfortable and clean), the tented lodges ... Read more were luxurious, and our guide (Max) was tremendous. We had so many incredible moments viewing wildlife and Max knew everything there is to know about anything we asked. We're happy we saw Lake Manyara and Tarangire National Parks (which are just stunning) in addition to Ngorongoro and Serengeti. We also loved the beautiful Lake Natron, but it was very warm in October and a long, bumpy journey. We loved meeting Benson both before and after our trip; he is passionate about making your trip to Tanzania once-in-a-lifetime and you will feel very well looked after on his tours. Thank you for an incredible trip, Benson and Max!

6 Day Kilimanjaro Hike
Rating:

We've lived in Tanzania for over 4 years and have used several other safari companies during that time. But, the care and support we got from Benson's was second to none. Before the trip Benson himself answered each of our questions thoughtfully and quickly, and the value for our package was exceptional. All 7 folks in our group were able to summit Kilimanjaro using the Marangu route. Along the wa ... Read morey the guides, porters, chefs, and crew that Benson put together was fantastic. I would highly recommend using Benson's to attempt a Kili climb!

Can't say enough about this trip. Everything went according to plan - including allowing for last minute changes to some activities. We saw an amazing number of animals, stayed in comfortable surroundings, had great food and plenty of it. There was a good mix of things to do and see. Our guides were very professional, knowledgeable and entertaining. Overall brilliant and memorable.
