Benson Safari’s provided us a wonderful experience from arrival to departure.
We are delighted that we chose Benson’s Safaris to guide our Tanzania safari experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our safari through Tanangire, Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater, and Lake Manyara, as well as our cultural experiences with the Maasai, Hadzabe, Datoga, tribes and the Gidangooga blacksmith. We liked the local Mama lunch and agricultural visits in Mto wa Mbu.
Benson was wise and flexible as we fashioned our itinerary. The accommodations he recommended all suited us well and were staffed by friendly and helpful people. We especially enjoyed our stays in the tented camps.
Our driver-guide Paul was fabulous! He knew so much about the animals and skillfully got us to them, often positioning the land cruiser to optimize our camera angle. Paul took great care of us, for examples facilitating our gluten-free eating and helping us get avocado after I injured my knee (as recommended for healing by Tanzanians). He also taught us some Kiswahili, which enriched our connections with the people we met. We enjoyed our conversations with Paul as we journeyed on safari. We also enjoyed conversations with our airport driver Zablon.
Benson Safari’s provided us a wonderful experience from arrival to departure. When you’re planning a trip from 10,000 miles away, it’s important to have local expertise. We wanted to go with a Tanzanian-owned tour operator and we’re happy we chose Benson. We’d go with them again and are already recommending them to our family and friends.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by D. Ex
There's a wider chance of meeting the big five there. We got to see four out of the fives. We were able to follow a lonely lion, watch a leopard (puma)devour his lunch, chat with 2 giraffes and missed our appointment with the rhinos all that before lunch. It's an amazing feeling to be in the wild with all these animals and more.

Review about Amboseli National Park by D. Ex
Ambosseli, has lots of animal herds (zebras, elephants, wilderness,...). The elephants are particularly impressive from close. We saw a few birds and a lion family, in the end stole the show. Wish we had close access to the water points. We spotted some hippos from far, but couldn't be close enough. There's a lot of dust, especially hard when another car passed us by.
What we saw there was picturesque: I took national geographic-like pictures with my phone!

Best family safari.
We are a family of three. We were mesmerized by the sunrise and sundown. We saw the big 5 and more. We were in tents which were really comfortable. The company was Outlook and they did a great job. The food was great, all the guides were really knowledgeable. It was fantastic!
