5.00A fantastic 4 day trip. We would highly recommend-George our driver and guide was great and made you feel comfortable and safe and was knowledgeable about wildlife and Kenya history etc. He would also fit in anything you wanted to so - great flexibility and chilled in small group. Highlights were seeing the Rift Valley, Masai Mairi and meeting the Masai tribe - such a unique experience and Lake Nakuru with the pink flamingos. The lodges were all top quality with good food and swimming pools and night entertainment etc. Thank you Benicia Africa Adventure.

4.00This trip is perfect to visit Masai Mara and see all the wild animals living in it, I booked the luxury lodges and for me it’s totally worth it, excellent food, views and beautiful and comfortable rooms just perfect after a long day of safari and travel. Due to changes in the schedule by the tour company I also visited lake Naivasha and the Crescent gardens; in the boat tour you can see hippos and lots of wild birds, and the Gardens it’s ok if you like a private run place with enclosed antelopes and zebras, beautiful animals but not wild enough for my taste. Lake Nakuru national park is totally worth it, we saw rhinos and giraffes among other amazing wildlife, I would have loved to stay longer.
Excellent way to experience the beauty of safari

5.00Going on safari has been a bucket list item and this experience did not disappoint! Our guide was Joseph and he is the reason we had such a great time. Knowledgeable about the plants, animals, birds, customs and best roadside places to eat and more than willing to share that knowledge freely. He went out of his way to make sure that all of us an incredible experience. We saw so many animals, and so close. His relationship with other guides ensured we were “in the know” when an elusive animal was spotted (hello, baby cheetahs!). We saw a white rhino at lake Nakuru, and, as always, Joseph let us dictate how long we spent enjoying seeing him. I could not recommend this safari any higher. The lodges we stayed at were very nice, especially Nakuru Sopa.
Amazing

4.00This tour with Bencia was very professionally run, and would highly recommend to anyone looking to do their first safari.We had 5 people to one minibus, so plenty of space. And we had a driver Morris, and cook John.Morris was a very careful driver, spotted a lot of wildlife and was able to get us very close to lions, cheetahs and many others.John has a great personality and make the group feel very comfortable with great humour, and excellent pancakes.Everyday the tour left on time, and food was ready when expected.The accommodation is basic but adequate and the locations are brilliant, either inside or just outside the two national parks.The additional Masai village experience is slightly hit or miss but it was interesting.Overall a very good experience and would recommend to friends and family.
