Stunning experience
This trip was our second. Everything about this company is above expectations. The tour guide is one in a million, the tour owner is exceptional, both their knowledge about the trips and the safari tours is out of this world. We saw everything that we thought we would see, the accommodation was above standard the travel was tops. Highly recommend to others. We are now planning another trip.

Wonderful weekend in Khwai
A group of 3 friends and I went with Kaiser for an overnight safari and camping trip in Khwai, out of Maun. It was an incredible experience and the service was wonderful. Kaiser is an expert at tracking animals and we saw more than our fair share of elephants, lions, hippos, and various antelopes. To top it off we even came across wild dogs and hyenas in the evening! The hospitality of Kaiser and his staff was very much appreciated; we had delicious meals and comfortable tent set ups. I will definitely be recommending his guide service to others looking to go on an amazing safari for an affordable price.

Much thanks to Maggie and James for everything they helped us. Well organised trip and great comunication.
We will recomend this company to our friends 100% and we hope to do this trip again soon.

By far the best safari I have ever been on, with superb attention to small details.
Dealing with Sammy from All Time Safaris was a pleasure from word go. He was recommended by Entim camp in the Mara where I had visited before, so I was confident in his abilities. My husband was amazed with his patience, as I sent numerous emails which were all answered promptly and with a smile.I was arranging a safari for myself and three Canadian girlfriends, so certainly felt the pressure to produce the goods! I needn't have worried as the trip felt effortless and we all had the time of our lives.
We visited Entim camp in the mara......where I lost my soul.....what a very special place; followed by a trip to the Serengeti and the Ngorogoro crater. I had to keep telling my friends how unbelievably lucky we were, as, besides the seemingly constant, incredible sightings, we saw leopard every day of our 16 day trip, bar one.We were privileged to see a leopard, cheetah and lion kill and spent time with a mother leopard and her cub, as well as a lioness with 4 very tiny cubs when driving through Ndutu game reserve en route to the crater.
The quality of the drivers and guides (Henry Asadera and Fidi) was top notch and their abilities, skills and personalities definitely went a long way to making the trip the success it was.
Sammy went above and beyond, arranging visits to the Nairobi national park, the elephant orphanage, the giraffe sanctuary and the 'meat ' restaurant on our first day and on our last day, instead of spending hours sitting at the airport, Titus entertained us by showing us a small part of his home town and giving us girls the time for some shopping.The gifts we were given on our departure were thoughtful and a great surprise.....the icing on an already awesome cake!
It was with no hesitation that I recommended 'All Time safaris' to my friends ,who have also had nothing but the highest praise for the trips that have been arranged for them.

Pearl of Africa Tailor Made
Other reviews have already mentioned the main points that should be covered in any review of this excellent company, but at the risk of repetition I will add my penny's worth!
1. Personal service by someone who knows the country and how to get the best out of the time available for each client.
2. Excellent personal itinerary. Well paced and comprehensive.
3. Great guides, tailored to your characteristics, i.e, funny and jovial, excellent bird identifier.
4. Karibu guest house was a great starting point. Close to airport, small, personal, excellent cottage rooms and great, friendly staff. Food was fantastic.
5. Itinerary explained in detail by operations manager before setting off .
6. Standard of lodges used very high.
7. Vehicles of good standard and comfort.
8. Internal flights comfortable and on time, saving on long road transfers.
9. Gorilla permits obtained well ahead of time (a year in our case) and groups chosen with care. Suggestion of two treks was the right one.
10. Suggestion of Golden Monkey trek in Mgahinga NP was a brilliant one and gave a completely different dimension to trip.
11. Personal contact from Kevin Nicholson throughout planning stages and during tour was excellent and he constantly sort feedback, both positive or not to improve future trips for other clients.
In summary, don't hesitate to use this company. they are professional and very good value for money as on all inclusive basis once in the country and they were significantly cheaper than a UK based firm offering an inferior trip!

Amazing wildlife and culture experience
As soon as we got picked up at the airport, our trip kept getting better. Amazing doesn’t begin to describe the outstanding wildlife viewings we had when on our 10 day trip with Benson Safari. Our excellent tour guide Amani took us up close to the animals and we had amazing experiences we never dreamed of. Elephants, lions, zebras, (even a leopard!) we saw it all. The cultural experiences were a great alternative to the safari that we definitely enjoyed and will cherish forever. We’d like to especially recommend our tour guide Amani who is not only a great, hard-working man but is patient, knowledgeable and fun to be around for an extended amount of time. I’d recommend Benson Safaris to anyone as they provided us with an experience we will never forget.

A week with the best eyes of the bush ;-)
We have spent an incredible week visiting the National Parks of Selous, Mikumi and Ruaha with our guide Richard Thomas Boniventure.
We have greatly valued his thorough knowledge of the area, his accute sense of observation and his highly reliable driving. He has always given us all the time we wished to admire the species we had already taken pictures of so many times !
Aside from all the animals we have seen, the highlights of our safari were the chance to get a very close look to a cheeta and to see a leopard go down from a tree after having been waked by the distant noise of our vehicule during his nap. The incredible starry sky we have seen at Ruaha is another wonderful memory.
The journey from one park to the other has given us the opportunity to discover beautiful landscapes and to get an idea the local population's life. The lodges where we stayed (Selous Kingalodge, Vuma Hills, Ruaha River Lodge) is everything one can dream of.
We can warmly recommend Richard's services and wish to thank him once again for his excellent job.
