Stephanie at Bench created an epic 6 week holiday for myself and 3 friends travelling through eastern and Southern Africa. We threw everything we wanted to do at her - gorillas, migration, desert and dunes, delta, waterfalls and we wanted to see all the animals. Did not want budget, liked nice places but not overly expensive, let's go with quirky and unique accom. Steph put it all together into one amazing holiday with everything looked after from start to finish. All our drivers and guides were fantastic, we were with Leopard Tours in Rwanda and Tanzania, then Jenman Safaris for Sth Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe, finally at Kapama Games Reserve in Greater Kruger NP. At no stage throughout our travels did we feel unsafe. Everything went like clockwork and as per what Steph organised for us.
