Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater - Great experience with Benson Safari and our Guide Zablon
The overall experience with Benson Safari was perfect. Starting with sending offers in a very short time, consulting and finally the whole trip from A to Z. Special thanks to our guide Zablon who did a great job, was very kind, share a lot of insights/knowledge about the wildlife. We can highly recommand Benson Safari and will book definitely again if we travel again to Tanzania.

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.

Wonderfull
We chose Benson Safari for our safari and we can only congratulate ourselves because it is a very trustworthy and serious agency, Benson and Judith were able to meet our requirements and were very very patient both for the lodges and for the visits parks. The communication was very responsive they have always listened to us the rates are very competitive on an equal comparison with other agencies. Our safari went without the slightest problem from our reception at Kilimanjaro airport until our departure from Arusha airport to reach Zanzibar. We had asked for a driver guide who spoke French who was very professional and with very safe driving. In short, an extraordinary experience that we have seen in the wonderful moments and grace to all of Benson's team.

More than perfect
My father and I climbed the Kilimanjaro with Benson. Organisation more than perfect. At the airport a driver picked us up on time and brought us to Ilburu lodge. The next day at 8 am a Pullman was waiting for us at the hotel. We left and we went at Lemosho gate, to start the climb of Kilimanjaro. It has been a 7 days tour.
We always overnighted in camps, in tends. The crew has been amazing: porters really friendly and they did a great job. They carried a lot of stuff and they've always worked perfectly. Chef was insane. He literally cooked really tasty food at 4000 metres, which isn't obvious at all!
The guides are super professional and skilled. We spoke a lot and enjoyed the time with them.
On the 6th we started the ascent to the summit. Everything went smooth and we reached it, thanks to the crew, the organisation, and the staff of Benson safaris.
Returning back, my father was left on time at the airport and everything went as scheduled.
We have to sincerely thank Benson safaris for this tour. We made and amazing trip, seeing marvellous landscapes and interacting with a lot of people.
I would definitely recommend Benson safaris for this kind of experience. Everything will be great and you will for sure enjoy as much as possible the trip.
Thanks.
P.s. in our crew there was also a women. We deeply appreciated that. It's comforting to see that women are included in this kind of journey.
