“An amazing tour operator with a friendly and knowledgeable guide who made our safari an unforgettab
My tour guide was Emmanuel. I joined the safari alone, but he always looked out for me and made sure I was comfortable throughout the trip, which I really appreciated. Thank you so much!
Even though I’m usually quite picky with foreign food, I really enjoyed all the meals during the safari.
I was also lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, which made this such a memorable and special experience. I’m very grateful for the wonderful safari!

The team was professional, friendly, and always helpful. Every detail exceeded my expectations, making the entire trip smooth, comfortable, and unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Benson Safaris made our Kenya–Tanzania anniversary trip unforgettable, with amazing stays and guide
We travelled with Benson Safaris for our Kenya and Tanzania trip, and honestly, it was one of the best travel experiences we’ve had.
From the start, the whole trip was very well planned. We crossed the Kenya–Tanzania border and then came back into Kenya, and all the immigration and border formalities were surprisingly smooth. The team was always there to guide us and help whenever needed, which made a big difference.
The accommodations were another highlight. We stayed at some really beautiful places, but Olerai Lodge, Friends Camp and Khumbu Khumbu Luxury Resorts deserve a special mention. Each one had its own charm, and the food throughout the trip was genuinely excellent. After spending hours out on safari, coming back to a good meal and a comfortable place to stay was something we really appreciated.
Our guides, Martin and Zab, were a huge part of what made the trip special. Martin was very knowledgeable and patient, and you could tell that he genuinely enjoyed what he was doing.
And then there was Zab — the Mayor of Serengeti!
Honestly, I’m not sure how the trip would have been without him. He talked constantly, cracked jokes, knew everyone we came across, and somehow always seemed to know where the animals were. But beyond being a great guide, he became a friend during the trip. Some of our best memories are simply from sitting in the jeep listening to Zab talk about life, the Serengeti and pretty much everything else.
He has this wonderful way of looking at life — simple, positive and full of humour. By the end, it felt less like we had hired a guide and more like we were travelling around with a friend who happened to know the Serengeti incredibly well.
The actual safari experience was unbelievable. The Great Migration, the river crossings, lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, zebras, wildebeests, hippos and all the smaller animals in between — there was something new every single day. What I really liked was that the guides didn’t just point out animals; they helped us understand what was happening around us and how the whole ecosystem fits together.
We did this trip to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, so it was already going to be a special trip for us. But Benson Safaris and the team made it much more memorable than we expected.
A big thank you to everyone at Benson Safaris, to Martin, and especially to Zab, the Mayor of Serengeti, for making this such an incredible experience.
We would happily travel with Benson Safaris again. And if we do make it back to the Serengeti someday, I really hope the Mayor is still around to show us around.

Well Organised, Safe And Fun!
I went on a 3 day gorilla safari to Bwindi from Kigali with Nextgen Safaris. Super easy to organise via email. Benson was my guide and I had such a great time. He was very enthusiastic, informative and a very good driver on the uneven roads! I'm already thinking about making another trip back to Uganda to see even more!
Excellent details and service follow through
5 day tour was amazing. Our guide Emmanuel was kind, knowledgeable and accommodating. The animal sightings were beyond expectations. I highly recommend this tour. A huge return on investment. It is a once in a lifetime experience. The lodges booked for us each night were clean and comfortable.

A truly wonderful experience
We had a wonderful trip. We felt well taken care of from start to finish. Everything was very well planned, and whenever we had questions, we got a response very quickly. The guide was super friendly and taught us a lot about the country, the animals, and the culture. I would love to book my next safari trip there again.

Unforgettable short safari in Selous!
We arrived from Zanzibar in the afternoon and immediately enjoyed a beautiful boat safari on the Rufiji River. In total, we spent two nights, one full day, and an afternoon in Selous. We were incredibly lucky to see so many elephants and their babies crossing the river, which was an absolute highlight.
Our guide, Tico, was amazing and very attentive. Thanks to him, we saw many animals up close, but he always respected their space so they felt comfortable. Highly recommended!

The best tour operator ever!
We had an absolutely unforgettable 17-day trip around Madagascar, and we truly feel that we got to experience all the very best that the country has to offer!
A huge, huge thank you to Lova and Zou for creating such an incredible itinerary, which included everything we wanted and even more. The whole trip was so incredibly well planned, making sure we got the very best of both nature and culture.
We felt so well taken care of throughout the entire trip. We truly felt seen and understood when it came to what we wanted, and everything was adapted to our wishes. We always felt that we were getting the absolute best out of every single day.
Lova and Zou are incredibly knowledgeable and answered all the thousands of questions we had about absolutely everything. We really appreciated all the wonderful conversations we had, as well as all the little things they did along the way. For example, they stopped several times so that we could meet and interact with local people. These encounters were not originally part of the plan, but our amazing guides arranged them anyway because they wanted us to have the absolute best experience possible.
Honestly, we could not have asked for anything better. The whole trip was far beyond our expectations. We would recommend I Travel 2 Madagascar to absolutely anyone. Lova and Zou were so incredibly service-minded and made sure we had the best trip we have ever had. Thank you so, so much for an absolutely amazing experience. We honestly cannot put into words how happy and satisfied we are!
