Our safari trip with Benjamin was an incredible and unforgettable experience. There were just the three of us girls on the tour and we felt completely safe and well taken care of, which is truly important when traveling in foreign countries. Benjamin did everything he could to make sure we saw as many animals as possible. He gave us plenty of time with each one so we could calmly admire them, take photos and record videos. He also shared many fascinating facts and stories about the animals and the plants on the safari, which made the trip both interesting and educational. The entire experience was very well organized - from the pick-up directly at our hotel reception to the drive during which we were already learning interesting facts about Kenya. The atmosphere throughout the trip was warm and friendly. Benjamin is extremely dedicated, professional, experienced and caring. I honestly wouldn’t want to visit a safari with any guide other than him! We saw countless elephants, and when Benjamin heard how much we love cats and how badly we wanted to see the big ones in the wild, he did everything in his power to make it happen. He made our dream come true and turned the trip into a memory we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you and hopefully see you again soon! I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to all travelers, you definitely won’t come back disappointed! :)

Seeing wild animals in person is an incredible experience, and that alone was a great part of the trip, but our guide, Benjamin, also made the time even more enjoyable. His stories about the animals were very interesting, and you learned a lot! He ensured our comfort and did everything he could to ensure we saw and photographed the animals from the best possible perspective. Very professional and experienced, I highly recommend him! And the number of zebras was countless.

“It was an amazing adventure. I finally fulfilled my biggest dream of seeing wild animals in their natural environment. Our guide Benjamin was the best guide I could have wished for. He made sure I got the best view of every wild animal, and most importantly, I saw the queen of the jungle and the king of the jungle! Thank you, and see you again next time for sure!”

Traveling solo, it wasnt easy to find a Safari i could do without joining another group, so i was happy to find this Tour. The Tour was planned very well. On the Drive from Diani to Tsavo my guide Benjamin already explained a Lot and was more than willing to answer all the questions i had. Over all He was very knowledgeable and comfortable to be around. The Lodge is beautiful, i was lucky to have a room with direct view of the water hole , where there were always animals to be Seen. Would definitely recommend. I only did 2 days, next time i would do at least 3, as the Park is very big .

I struggled to find a company did only accept one participant, so I was grateful when I found this one. My experience was wonderful I wish I had done more days but next time, my guide (Benjiman) was the absolute best. He took his time to explain everything to me. He also made sure I was able to see as much animals as possible. My heart is full from this experience having a guide like (Benjiman) made it even more pleasant.

Booked the Safari overnight stay for my husband’s birthday, a day before got a WhatsApp message to say we were on the waiting list & the lodge was fully booked, it would have been nice have been when I booked and made payment that we were on a waiting list. This was disappointing. Alternative accommodation was offered, which was very comfortable, great friendly staff and good food. The Safari experience was amazing, our guide Benjamin was the best, he was very professional and he took the extra steps to ensure that we had the best experience. His knowledge on the animals was next to none, he promised Lions and he came through, he has am eagle eye for spotting the animals, would definitely recommend this safari, if you can ask for Benjamin.

We booked the trip in advance in Germany a long time ago and used the option "pay later". After we arrived at the hotel came the booking confirmation of the excursion. Shortly afterwards came a WhatsApp with the welcome and unfortunately the hint that the planned appointment could only take place with overnight stay in an alternative hotel. However, I was also offered two alternate dates for the overnight stay at SaltLick Lodge, which I also chose. So the safari was a day earlier than planned. What I'm saying is that even if something doesn't go according to plan, there is a lot of effort being made to find alternatives! The journey itself was outstanding. Our guide Badru was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Told us a lot and also told us a lot of questions about Kenya and its culture along the way. He also knows the roads to the nature reserve very well, so we were able to bypass all traffic jams even if that means driving off-road for a short time! Just before we even got to dad nature reserve, there was an elephant standing on the side of the road and here too he has already stopped for photos and information about the animal. The rest of the ride was quieter. The lodge itself into a dream! I'm infinitely glad I didn't have to stay outside. In the evening, the elephants came to about 1 meter before one and drank water. Many zebras and antelopes were also visible at the waterhole. And then to be woken up at 3 a.m. with a lion's roar. These also came to the waterhole. And right at 6am we started looking for the lions. There were a lot of radio messages where the lions could be but following those radio cues didn't do any good. Then Badru ignored the radio sense and drove the route on his own over another route and lo and behold - we discovered the lions! It has been an incredible highlight to be the first to find the lions. Something I'll never forget. For this rethink and take initiative I simply have to thank Badru again here! When we had to say goodbye to the lodge, it was already emotional for me. On the way back we also stopped at a Masai village which showed us their culture and dance. Of course this was a small extra charge but this half hour in her village was beautiful and shows the simplicity in Kenyan life. This ride is more than just recommended!

I booked this trip from the Uk so absolutely had no clue how accurate the description to the trip would be. It was spot on ! I had a courtesy message the night before as a reminder then on the morning of the trip Benjamin texted to confirm his arrival at the hotel. From the get go he was informative of what we were to expect and made sure we were comfortable well hydrated and looked after on the whole of our trip nothing was too much trouble at all ! The wealth of knowledge he has for the animals as to finding them in the park and in general facts about them was really good we even saw a Leopard and the close up lion was also something that will stay with us forever We had the best time and it was really was due to Benjamin being such a great guide and going above and beyond thank you ! Salt lick lodge on check in the room wasn’t a great view however we asked to be moved and it was fabulous and it was no trouble it was very busy when we were at breakfast lunch dinner (there was vegetarian options and soya milk labelled )however this is the only time we felt this in reflection the park you could go miles not seeing another vehicle for ages i absolutely would recommend the private tour it suited us really well as it was tailored to us and at our pace :-) If I could make one suggestion I would say the stop off on the way back could do with some labels on their food for the lunch Thanks again Benjamin the best time !

It was an all-round successful excursion! From the 1st to the last minute just wonderful. The staff at the lodge were super friendly, the lodge itself a dream. Our guide made everything possible to show us as many animals as possible, which worked out! Just everything perfect!

Absolute perfect Safari, we have Seen so many different Animals and so close…!! Our driver and Guide Benjamin was wonderful: Kind, polite and with so much Information. He had the Knowledge and Instinkt to Drive is to the Spots before the crowd Showed up. I was here 6 month ago with another organization so I can compare: this was really Great experience!
