Reviews
Climbing the Kilimanjaro
We climbed the Kilimanjaro with Benson Safaris Tanzania. We had a great guide, everything was very well arranged and we had a great time. Before climbing Benson replied very quickly to all our questions and we could even borrow a headlight that we lost somewhere in Tanzania. In short, very good communication and service.

Life changing experience
Some close friends, my wife and I were seeking an adventure this year. There were tons of choices available when we decided to go with safari and climbing kiliminjaro. After much research we settled on Benson Safari and couldn't be happier. Our safari guide, as well as the owner Benson, were incredibly good and accommodating. Peter, our safari guide, was extremely kind, knowledgeable and professional. We can't say enough good things about him. Tomorrow we are going to attempt kiliminajro and we are super confident thanks to Benson and our head guide :)

awesome guide awespme safari
7 day safari with 5 days in the parks. Saw everything we asked for and everything. We told our guide Issa what we wanted to see and we saw it that day, Rhino, Leopard, even Hippos in the middle of the dry Seregeti. Was able to answer all questions about Flora and Fauna, only had to refer to his book one time. The accomadations all had wonderfull attentive service. The Kati Kati camp, without asking, even hand washed our dirty clothes while we were out for the day. Appreciated the box lunches and also Benson's variety of beverages as most safari companies were only offering water while out for the day. Great experience with a great company. Would recommend an African safari and an African safari with Benson safaris to anyone.

It was a great experience and I enjoyed seeing the animals in their natural habitat.
Benson's Safaris met my expectations on every level. Esa the driver/guide was informative, friendly and made sure we saw as many animals as possible. Benson's Safaris made my first Safari experience a great one. If I have the opportunity to go on one again, I would definitely go through Benson's Safaris Tanzania again. I would recommend Benson's Safaris to family and friends.

So much fun!!!
Picking Benson Safaris was the perfect way to start our trip. First of all, Benson never sleeps. He is very on top of his business, which instantly attracted us to this company. We booked our safari only a few weeks before we were to arrive and still Benson worked with our last minute plans and crafted an amazing package for us. He answered all of my questions but gently reminded me that I needed to get moving on my booking to reserve some of the lodges that we preferred. He came to say hi and meet us before we took off for our first day on safari, which was so nice to meet the man behind the emails. Benson even stored my wedding dress and husband's suit in his office so we wouldn't have to worry about transporting them during our safari
Our guide, Max, was so much fun and very knowledgeable about everything. He really loves birds and kept trying to get us interested in them too. It didn't quite work, but his attempts were really funny. Max is the social butterfly of the safari world. The man knows everyone. We really enjoyed riding with him. We laughed the whole 5 days. Max was dedicated to ensuring we saw the Big 5 and he did not disappoint (although I still question whether we saw a rhino or a big rock far in the distance painted with a horn). The car was stocked with wine, beer, water and sodas. They really ensured we were comfortable and well cared for. I could not sing enough praises about this company. I love that they are a local Tanzanian company and just really down to earth people. We had the time of our lives. We will definitely be back and will book again with Benson.

Fabulous Safari & Fantastic Guide
We booked with Benson to do a 4 day/5 night private safari for my husband and I in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The first thing I was impressed about was that Benson never took more than 24hrs to respond to my emails during the quote and booking process - most of the time he took even less time than this! Our guide Issa was incredible, so friendly and knowledgeable about the animals and where to find them. I am still so impressed about how he was able to spot the animals from miles away! The vehicle we had was very clean and comfortable with water, soft drinks and beers on tap. Issa even had folding chairs and a table for our packed lunches which I thought was a nice touch. Overall, extremely pleased with the service Benson (and Issa) provided and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone!
