Touching the soul in five days - a great budget trip):
5/5

Tow of my friends and I took part in this 5-day group safari, and Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris opened a new world of experiences for us. Philip, our guide at Masai Mara, was explaining the way of life of each animal, as if a live natural history class was going on.

The highlight was taking pictures next to the flamingos and rhinos in Lake Nakuru! But the most unique experience was riding a bicycle in Hell's Gate through the roaring canyons and rock caves. It's a different kind of safari.

A kind of friendship developed in the group with everyone; the trip became more colorful with night bonfires and stories. Budget-friendly, but the service was excellent.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your incredible experience with Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris! We're thrilled to hear that you and your friends had such a memorable 5-day journey with us.

Philip will be delighted to know his knowledge and storytelling brought the wildlife of Masai Mara to life like a live natural history class that's exactly the immersive experience we strive to provide.

It’s wonderful that Lake Nakuru’s flamingos and rhinos made such a lasting impression, and we're especially glad you enjoyed the unique adventure of cycling through Hell’s Gate's dramatic landscapes. That combination of wildlife, scenery, and activity is what makes Kenya so unforgettable.

We're also happy to hear about the friendships that blossomed during the safari and the special memories created around the night bonfires. Your words remind us why we do what we do.

Thank you again for choosing us. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon.

Excellent local agency !
5/5

We did an 8 day safari (3 days Masaai Mara, 2 days Lake Nakuru, 2 days Amboseli and 1 day Tsavo West): Everything was perfect! Joseph, our guide, was able to show us many animals thanks to his excellent knowledge of all the parks, The accommodations were very nice and close to the parks, the meals were very good... in short, nothing to complain about in the organization or the running of the event! Many thanks to Joseph (French speaker) for his explanations, his kindness and his suggestions for activities in addition to the established schedule (typical lunch in a village, excursion to Lake Naivasha, etc.).

Face to Face with the Wildlife.
5/5

When I saw the lioness up close through the open roof of the car, I understood why African safaris are so famous. Zebra, giraffe, cheetah, ostrich - nothing was left out during the entire trip.
The team at Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris organized everything perfectly; even the food and lodging were of excellent quality.
In a word - the best five-day safari!

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.

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