We used Bench Africa for our first trip to Africa, travelling to South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mauritius. Everything was taken care of by our travel consultant, transfers, accomodation, extra activities at Vic Falls. The personal knowledge our consultant had was integral to planning our trip and we had the best experience at Pom Pom Camp in the Okavango Delta. It was such a personal, interactive stay as close to nature and the animals as you can get. Our next stop was Muchenje Safari Lodge which was a really beautiful place and we went on Safari in the Chobe National Park and were witness to over 200 elephants visiting the Chobe River. We stayed at Batonka Guest Lodge in Vic Falls which was again a lovely place within walking distance of the town. Vic Falls was amazing with lots to do and my kids loved the adrenalin activities. Lux Belle Mare in Mauritius was our last stop and OMG it was amazing. What a resort this is! We chose all-inclusive which made it so much easier with the kids able to do their own thing with meals and drinks during the day. The dining options were vast and varied catering to every desire. The kids club was a lot of fun for my 8 yr old whereas the teens had options and water sports to keep them busy. The rooms were great and we had interconnecting which was ideal. I can’t thank them enough for ensuring our once in a lifetime trip was just perfect. Thank you Bench Africa. I hope we can get back there again one day.
