We have nothing but the highest praise for Bench Africa. We have travelled to Africa with Bench twice and both times our itinerary has been very thoughtfully planned for us with exceptional insight as to what is available and what would best suit our needs. Both times we travelled independently but the supberb organsiation meant that we never felt alone even when tranferring flights within an airport, we were meet and assisted on to our next leg. Every detail had been considered. On our first trip we encountered some significant personal challenges that had nothing to do with Bench, however they provided us with amazing ongoing support for months after our return which went well beyond their responsibilies or obiligations. We will always remember the human element that defined their service to us. They are far more than just a travel company - they care for their clients. We usually will book and plan our own adventures however Africa is a very complex and overwhelming in choice destination. It is not something we could arrange on our own. We are so grateful that we saw the advertisement for Bench in the paper. They made a our decision making much simplier. We travelled to South Africa, Zimbazee, Botswana and Zambia. So if you are planning to go to Africa we would thoughly recommend using Bench.
