Unforgettable moment with the elephant team
What I found in this 4-day private safari is beyond my imagination. The most magical experience of the safari was when we stopped our jeep and saw a huge herd of elephants. Small baby elephants in front, adult elephants standing guard on the side - the whole scene looked like a movie. The guide patiently showed us how they move with each other, take care of the children. At that moment, I felt very close to nature. The quality of the accommodation was excellent - each night was a unique experience to sleep in the luxurious lodge listening to the sounds of the jungle. The guide was very experienced, ensuring safety and comfort at every moment.

Organized, helpful & chill
The flight transfers and meet-ups all went smoothly. The staff were very friendly and helped me buy a phone card quickly. The meals cooked by the chef traveling with the vehicle exceeded expectations—they were heartfelt home-cooked dishes.
I got to see all the animals. Although I didn’t witness any hunting scenes, I saw the large-scale migration of wildebeests, lions passing by at close range, and the thrilling moment when a rhinoceros chased the car.
We also took an extra boat trip on Lake Naivasha. The unique scenery there makes it well worth a visit.
I booked a Budget Safari. The accommodation conditions in Masai Mara were indeed very poor—only cold water for showers and dim lighting. When we arrived in Nakuru, we stayed in a small house, but unfortunately, the power went out as soon as we checked in and didn’t come back on even when we checked out the next day. I have no complaints, but it was a bit amusing yet frustrating.

It's great to know you appreciated the friendly staff, the seamless transfers, and especially the delicious meals prepared by our traveling chef home-cooked food on the road really does hit differently!
It sounds like you had some unforgettable wildlife moments seeing the wildebeest migration, lions up close, and even a rhino chase is truly something to remember. We're also glad you enjoyed the boat trip on Lake Naivasha it's definitely a special place.
We do appreciate your understanding regarding the budget accommodation in Masai Mara and Nakuru. While we aim to keep costs low for our Budget Safari guests, we recognize that facilities can be quite basic and local infrastructure (like power outages) may sometimes fall short. That said, your good humor and positive spirit really shine through, and we’re grateful for your open-mindedness.
Thanks again for traveling with us we hope to welcome you on another adventure in the future, maybe with an upgraded package next time for added comfort.

A beautiful moment in nature - Masai Mara
I'll never forget one moment of our 4 day safari at Masai Mara - we jeep-stopped on the open grassy plains. The scene in front of us was like a living painting of an African safari.
On one side was a large group of topi antelope - their bright brown skin and slender antlers glistening in the sun. Right in the middle, a few zebras were walking comfortably. Seeing these two different species of animals so close was an unprecedented experience.
Our guide Michael is so experienced that he had already guessed that animals could be seen in this place. He stopped the jeep in such a way that we could see from the very front while not disturbing the animals.
The best part of the trip was the luxurious accommodations, the daily timed game drives, and always being informed of what animals were being spotted. The food was also good quality.
Masai Mara reminds one of such a peaceful place, yet it is full of the rhythm of the jungle - how balanced and beautiful nature can be.
Many thanks to Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris for such an experience.

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

It’s also great to know that you felt safe and well taken care of throughout the journey. Your description of the peaceful landscapes and sunsets by the Ewaso Nyiro River paints such a vivid picture. Definitely sounds like a must-do for anyone looking to explore the hidden gems of Northern Kenya.

Unforgettable experience in Tsavo West, Amboseli and Tsavo East!
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..

Incredible 3-day Amboseli Safari - Great scenery and wildlife experience!
Recently I went on a 3-day Amboseli Jeep safari from Nairobi; the whole trip was beautifully organized from the moment I left the city, and it was an unforgettable experience. We stopped at some nice places. And the road trip to Amboseli was also wonderful.
We opted for the private safari and stayed in a wonderful lodge. The lodge staff was hospitable, the food was delicious, and the whole atmosphere was ideal for relaxing after a very peaceful day of exciting game drives. From where a beautiful view of Mount Kilimanjaro could be enjoyed.
Amboseli is famous for its huge elephant herd, and we saw the elephants up close, moving slowly against the backdrop of Kilimanjaro—a truly magical moment! The most interesting aspect of the safari was the game drive. In addition, we saw lions, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, and numerous colorful birds. Our guide was excellent; he was very experienced, patient, and ensured that we had the best photo opportunities.
Amboseli's sunrise and sunset were like a dream. When the golden light was spreading across the entire landscape and the wildlife was moving around silently, the moment was truly heart-touching.

Hell's Gate and Lake Nakuru Safari-an unforgettable experience!! 😍😊😊
All of this was really great! Starting the journey from Nairobi, visiting Hell's Gate and Lake Nakuru National Park, every moment was thrilling and amazing. The breathtaking scenery and cycling experience at Hell's Gate National Park was quite different. It is indeed a rare experience to see wild animals on high cliffs, hot springs, and open wilderness. Then a flock of thousands of flamingos and the movement of rhinos in Lake Nakuru was a sight to behold. The 4x4 Land Cruiser Jeep was undoubtedly the best for the game drive, giving us a great travel experience. Night camping was also great—the sky-high stars and the tranquility of nature made the whole experience even more exciting. All in all, it was a great trip! This is definitely an ideal trip for those who love adventure travel in the midst of nature and wildlife.

Don't hesitate, Just go!
Great Company!!
went solo to a 3 day safari to Masai Mara (Budget). Communication before the trip was detailed and fast, and although it's a joined tour, they are very flexible at customizing the tour to help with your travel plans- with various lodging options, pick up/drop off points which are not necessarily Nairobi, and adding game drives. So you get great guides (ours was Jeff), very trustworthy and helpful company (I communicated with Alfred- who was amazing) and an almost personalized budget join safari to one of the most amazing NP.
I strongly advise adding another game drive on your last day, to maximize the sightings in this wonderful park ( I was lucky enough to see a group of 5 cheetahs, the 12 lioness pride preparing to hunt, numerous lions, hyenas, jackals and of course elephants, impalas, topi , zebras and giraffes- all with young. Great sightings of interaction and play).
