All good!
It started with a very close follow up with all necessary details provided by Jessica, even for entering the country. We had no issues but several other travellers needed to buy visa on arrival, not us since we were well informed upfront. The driver picked us up as agreed at the hotel and delivered us after the safari. In addition a local representative met us at the airport in Zanzibar at departure and arrival to ensure all went well. Our driver, Erick, was the driver that found lions first by looking after foot prints etc. A very gentle and nice guide/driver. We were very happy with the whole process!!!

Elephant kingdom in Amboseli and a three-day jeep adventure in the shadow of Kilimanjaro..
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.

Wonderful Kruger Experience
I booked the Kruger 3n/4d tour from Cape Town. The person I dealt with mostly was Rishen. He was very responsive and helpful. An excellent communicator. Thank you Rishen!
As it is a budget tour, we stayed at Dumela Tented Camp. It was comfortable and clean, with a large bed, air cond, and attached bathroom. In the night, dinner was around a camp fire. The food was simple (do not expect a full buffet) but very tasty. The camp is inside a private game reserve, so we could see impalas walking by and hear the hyenas in the night. And on a clear night, the stars above.
The safari rides were in jeeps, once in a private game reserve, and a full day in Kruger. We saw most of the wildlife we set out to see, so we were happy. Although as I have experienced safaris in Kenya, I found the Kenyan guides more knowledgeable and passionate about wildlife compared to the ones around Kruger (I felt it was more commercialized in Kruger). Do not miss out the panorama tour as the views were fantastic. Here, I would like to recommend Eddy the Happy Chappy as your driver and guide, as he is an absolute great company.
Overall, this tour is of great value and we got to meet some really nice guests as well.
Thank you MoAfrika for a wonderful holiday!

They were always on point, excellent service and knowledgeable guide
We were very impressed with their services we enjoyed the tour of the falls, game drive and the sundowner cruise. The transfers were booked as private with no extra cost. It was really very nice of them

Superb in every way!
I booked a 4 day tour with Customise Tours and Travel from Victoria Falls to Hwange National Park, staying at Ivory Lodge, a concession on the outskirts of the park, inclusive of all accomodation, food and drink, transfers, game drives, Zambezi dinner cruise.....and the service was excellent throughout, I cannot fault it. All of my requirements were more than met, with many additional touches at no extra cost. Everyone I met during the tour could not do enough to make me comfortable, and provide insights into this wonderful country, it's people and it's wildlife. Phenomenal.

Unforgettable 2 day Mikumi safari organized by Plex and Abel
My girlfriend and I had an amazing 2 day Safari with Plex tours.
Their professionality, flexibility and reliability are worth mentioning.
As I was on a standby, I only knew last minute (10 minutes before departure) if I would make it to Dar es Salaam. Which meant I could only confirm our trip last minute. Plex was so kind to accommodate this unusual request, taking a risk with reserving space on the Safari tour.
From beginning to end we had a smooth, and exciting trip. Plex responds fast and clear. Everything was taken care of (tickets, ranger, hotel, lunch diner etc) and still left room for wishes or suggestions from our end. Accordingly, we only needed to sit and enjoy. It was a long journey from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi but our enthusiastic ranger Abel, who picked us up at the train station in Mogoro, was very welcoming, helpful and explained a lot about the park, Tanzania, the safari and much more.
Abel is a professional, knowledgeable, friendly and sharp ranger with great sense of humor. If he didn’t discover an amazing spot himself (Lions with cubs and a fresh pray, the alert baboons that lead us to a leopard) he made sure we were one of the first at the spot found by other rangers. He also looked after us for the lunch breaks and made sure the check in at the lodge was smooth. He even arranged a nice bottle of wine at our dinner table for us to enjoy whilst processing the day full of experiences and close encounters with elephants, giraffes, buffalos, zebras, lions etc.
We highly recommend Plex tours and Abel as the ranger. A winning combination for an unforgettable experience in Tanzania.

He was an amazing and friendly tour guide that did his job most professionally
Our tour with Lucas was legendary. He knew the park very well. He was professional, friendly and proficient. The tour was exciting, the park and tent experience was positively enduring, and the reception and Sendforth by the massai warriors was the icing on the cake. Experience of a life time. A dream come true.

Adventure of a Lifetime
This is my first time in Africa. Everlasting African Adventure ensure we have a smooth, nice journey. The staff, Kibena, is very friendly and helpful, preparing things before we even arrived in Africa. Kibena and Godi helped me with a transfer back to Nairobi when the bus that I booked made an uncomfortable reschedule. It wasn’t even in the job desc. The safari was adventurous with flat tires and stuck in the swamp, but we survived and it turned out to be the best adventure of a lifetime. Our guide, Mike, is the best. He took care every one of us and has great knowledge about the animals. Victor, the chef, prepared only the best meal and he even cooked us Indonesian meal for the last day and make us feel at home.
We are also lucky enough to be in the same group with nice ladies from Sweden and Chile. It’s the best experience ever. If I ever go back to Tanzania, Everlasting will be the first to contact.
Asante Everlasting African Safari.

A very nice person who explained a lot to us and was always for fun
We were able to see the big five in the 2 days and that even though we only had a tiny chance! The tour guide did everything to ensure that we could get to the right places and take pictures. It was a lot of fun and it was an incredibly great time!
Also the food and the general supply was great! There were no problems and we always had a contact person. Finally, we were even allowed to try red bananas on the return trip, which our guide had bought for us :)
