Goodwin: A good honest man who is very well rounded with the national park
Benson safari team was great. From organizing, friendliness, coordinating and meeting my budget, It was all well worth it. I would be more than happy to recommend their team to others. They are very experienced and have SUV’s you can trust out there.

Excellent and very quick service!
From booking the tour to it's end, I only have praise. Our fluent in German and English tour Driver/ Guide Michael, arrived punctually with a 100% well equipped A/C Jeep. Cold drinks, binoculars, Information guide about wild life and plants we would see, were all part of the amenities. Michael the guide, was "simpatico" and really knowledgeable about wild life and culture in general. He made the experience richer by providing us with very Professional Information. Michael took care of "everything" like the check in at lodges, entries to the national Parks and was a very good driver on some very precarious roads. We booked a 7 day Safari beginning with Manyara Nalt. Park, Norongoro Crater, Serengeti and finishing in Tarengira Nalt. Park. The coronucopia of experiences of seeing all the big 5 animals and a mirade of birds ( Michael was an expert in Bird life) made this tour a "life time memorable experience".
We would highly recommend booking with Benson Safari!

Unforgetable and Amazing Experience
We had booked a safari with Benson Safaris. What a wonderful safari we had. Thanks to Benson and our guide Peter. Peter knows a lot of all the plants and animals in de national parks we visited: Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorogoro crater. Peter is a safe driver and is very focused on the wishes of the costumer. The arrangements and hotels were wonderful, Patricia did a great job too. Our trips during the day well organized and a day after the last trip we already missed Peter. Even when we decided to changed an hotel during the trip, they helped us to have it done.
We had wine provided by peter because he heard my wife doesn't drink beer and he always had a surprise (an animal to be photographed) during the safari. We were really surprised with the safari, one of the best experiences in our life.

Fantastic
I have unforgettable memories of the safari organized by Benson. From the friendly welcome from the airport, then a big thank you to Frank, our pleasant and careful driver. As for the lodges and our safaris in the parks, it was great. I recommend Benson for his patience during our exchanges to organize the safari and then his professionalism throughout the circuit.

Wonderful, most amazing tour operator we’ve had
Our safari with Benson was truly amazing. Their communication upfront is clear and quick, with a clear itinerary, plenty of room for questions and good payment options and confirmations.
Our experience during the safari was simply great. Our guide Peter was the most friendly, attentive, knowledgable and kind person we could have wished for and the owner Benson surprised us on multiple occassions. The itinerary was very well planned, we’ve seen amazing landscapes and animals (guide Peter had a very good eye) and the hotels were very well arranged.
We’d truly like to urge you to consider choosing this locally owned provider, as the thought and effort they put in to make your safari the best is unmatched and you contribute directly to the local community. Thanks Benson and Peter, we really felt like part of the family!

Refueling our souls on safari with Benson's
We were now already for the second time on the road with Benson Safaris (first time in 2019). It was not only about landscapes, animals and impressions. The special challenge: We shot professionally. This only works if safari guide and photographer/filmer form a perfect team. In both cases we were lucky to have Peter as our guide. Very quickly he understood how we think and what we need. Peter's profound knowledge of the Serengeti and the crater gave us lots of great opportunities for sightings and he made (almost) every wish possible with a lot of commitment. Also vehicle and organization of Benson Safaris are perfect. We always felt safe and cared for. Our son learned a lot including some Suaheli. If you wonder when to visit the Serengeti, now is the time, as not too many people were around. We will be back again with pleasure!

Better than I could ever imagine!
My boyfriend and I went on a safari with Benson Safaris this past February. From the moment I inquired with them I knew I had to book with them. They were very responsive from the beginning and made sure we had the perfect 7 night itinerary. we had an amazing guide, Amini who was so friendly and knowledgeable throughout our entire trip. The accommodations and food were beyond what we could imagine. I am so grateful to have gone with such a great company. I highly recommend going with Benson Safaris and asking for Amini. Thank you for an incredible adventure!

Fantastic time in Tanzania.
My husband and I went on an 11 day safari with Benson Safaris. We had a fabulous time! For my first contact with the Benson company to the very last, they were friendly, warm, competent, and professional. We were very well taken care of and never felt unsafe, even though at times we were 5 feet away from Lions. The hotels and tent camps they chose were wonderful. Best of all was our guide, Amini. He did a fabulous job and took great care of us. We had a lot of fun with him and he kept us organized and moving ahead. We saw more animals and then we could even imagine! This is a wonderful company and I highly recommend them. I think that if you choose the Benson company, you will be very happy!

Great time in Tanzania
For my first contact with Benson Safaris, we were met with a friendly, competent, responsive and organized company. Our driver/guide, Amini, was the best. He kept us on track I made sure we saw as many animals as possible, and we saw a huge amount. We always felt safe and taken care of and enjoyed his amiable personality and his knowledge about wildlife. Benson and Pendo in the office were also delightful. This company wants to make sure that you have the best possible time in Tanzania and I think they met that goal!
