The travel agency arranged a driver, and the tour guide was very attentive.
The biggest takeaways from this trip were from three people: the driver and the two tour guides. Their meticulous explanations and attentive care throughout the journey made it hard for us to leave this country. We would like to express our sincere gratitude once again to the travel agency for their arrangements.

Value for money
8D/7N safari + SGR train tickets to Mombasa. Communication with Franklin was very swift but a bit lacking with final confirmations (like that third was to be paid in cash). I was surprised when transferred/sold to another company, is this tour operator or travel agency? The other company however was excellent so no complaints there.
In the end everything went well except a small detour that I asked and was accepted, then later revoked with a bit shady "official letter" and in hindsight I can't see how it would have fitted in our program. Simple apology when plans changed would've sufficed since this was a budget trip.
Thank you for a memorable safari!

excellent!
We had excellent and professional service from Benson Safaris. Our driver and guide made sure we had everything possible to facilitate our stay throughout the trip. Even when we had some travel hiccups at the end of our trip (NOT Benson's fault), the company worked with us directly to develop alternative plans - always keeping our safety and enjoyment first.
Our trip was spectacular from start to finish. The accommodations were beautiful and truly more luxurious than I could have expected. The daily visits in the incredible parks were filled with animals and finding and spotting interesting creatures was a special talent of our guide, Zablon. We always felt very well taken care of. The overall experience was a fantastic one - highly recommend this tour and Benson's Safaris for your next trip!

Peferct operator for a perfect place on the Earth
Going to Kilimanjaro had been my dream for many years, thus having a great amount of expectation. The spirit of kilimanjaro team and guide Rama together met my expectation fully, and made the trip memorable and successfull at the same time.
From the beginning, they answered my inquries with such details, got me ready for the adventure. It would have not been possible for me to reach the top without their support and help. Food was enough and good, my tent was always ready in advance, equipments were adequate.
Rama was such an experienced guide who knew know to deal the difficult situation, and tried to communicated with me as often as possible to ensure I was doing alright. We had good conversations along the way!
I am so thankful for their making my trip worthwhile, and definately recommand them.

Excellent, Communicative, Flexible
An affordable yet high-quality experience. Our tour guide / driver was wonderful, the accommodations were good and we certainly enjoyed seeing all the animals! We appreciated the flexibility when we added extra days before & after, and when we wanted to add an additional stop to our package.

Exceptionally planned, robust and thrilling experience
This was my and my wife's first southern African experience and it far exceeded our expectations. Our Discover Africa coordinator, Cayleigh, was an effective listener in planning our 3-week expedition and easily accommodated any changes that we requested. Cayleigh was responsive and easily accessible through various communication methods. The safari experience itself was, at times, simply jaw-dropping in seeing the megafauna, birds, insects, and reptiles. We experienced seeing more than 55 different animals and over 100 birds. We traveled by land, water and air. Seeing the big 5 was truly special!! Our accommodations met or exceeded all that we could hope for, including more food than we could consume! Our guides were very knowledgeable and engaging. A truly special and life-enriching experience, one of my two "bucket list" excursions. I highly recommend engaging Discover Africa for your safari planning needs. Thanks so much Cayleigh!

Incredible safari with Mara Triangle
Lucy with Mara Triangle Safaris planned an incredible 17-day safari and beach trip for me and my husband at a very reasonable price! Lucy was so helpful in answering our many questions and handling all of the details. In every respect (including our guide Kevin, accommodations, animal sightings, ease of travel), it was well beyond what we could’ve hoped for. I highly recommend Mara Triangle and would certainly book with them again.

Grand Gorillas and Clever Chimpanzees Fly-in Tour
Four day fabulous trekking and tracking tour. Nicholas provided us with a seamless itinerary filled with amazing lodges, food and sights. He was respectful, cooperative and super helpful. He went out of his way to help ship a lost item of ours
James the Incredible guided us through Uganda with kindness, compassion and an extensive knowledge of the local culture.
The mountain gorillas were astounding and peaceful. We are in our late 50s. The trek was steep but manageable and beautiful.
The chimpanzee tracking was exhilarating and exciting.
I strongly recommend this tour and hope to do it again some day😊

Our tour guide, Dalson, started as our guide and became our friend.
In September, 2025, we finally had the opportunity to experience Africa. It was definitely a long time dream. Our trip included time in Tanzania and Uganda. While in Uganda, we had Dalson as our guide. Our activities included safaris through a few different parks, including, Queen Elizabeth, Murchison Falls, and Mauro. We also visited the Zika Rhino Sanctuary, and did Chimp trekking in Kibale and Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi. I was fortunate enough to have a close encounter with a chimp who wanted to play, though I know that isn’t the norm, and will forever remember it. We also visited Bigodi Swamp and the local community. Every moment was amazing. Every time we started the day we could see the wildlife at a distance, but somehow the day always ended with the experience up close. Our guide seemed eagle eyed because he caught sight of everything and got us as close as we could each time. We even got up close to the elusive leopard and somehow he spotted a dung beetle crossing our path, which are definitely fun to se at work. Faldo helped us feel safe and taken care of the whole time. Uganda made up 10 days of our journey, so it was a lot of time spent together. I highly recommend Dalson for your trip if looking at Uganda, or anywhere else they can take you.

A top rate tour operator made our trip 5 stars
My husband and I wanted to visit Rwanda to see the gorillas, monkeys, and explore the country. After much research, we found New Horizon Africa Safaris. We contacted Emmanuel and told him what we wanted to see, and asked him to suggest any additional places we shouldn’t miss while in Rwanda. He provided a thoughtful list of destinations and experiences, and we quickly agreed on the perfect itinerary.
Booking with New Horizon Africa Safaris was an exceptional experience from the very beginning. Their website is easy to navigate, beautifully organized, and made planning our trip effortless. Communication was prompt, friendly, and incredibly professional — every question we had was answered clearly and quickly.
Emmanuel, our tour leader, was outstanding. He answered all of our questions in advance and made sure our 10 days were packed with unforgettable experiences. His professionalism, deep knowledge of Rwanda’s wildlife, landscapes, and culture, and his warm, engaging personality made every moment special. Emmanuel’s attention to detail, patience, and ability to anticipate our needs elevated the entire journey. He created an atmosphere that was both adventurous and incredibly comfortable, and his passion for sharing Africa’s beauty was truly inspiring.
New Horizon Africa Safaris delivers outstanding service, customized itineraries, and an authentic, thoughtful approach to travel — and Emmanuel truly embodies all of these qualities. I couldn’t imagine a better guide or a more memorable experience.
Highly recommended for anyone dreaming of a once-in-a-lifetime Rwandan adventure.
