The whole trip was sensational, from go to whoa. All the arrangements happened with a minimum of fuss and the hotels were top notch and the people involved in the whole exercise were very good. I would recommend that anyone who is going on this trip ask for Emanuel, a guide/driver with Leopard Tours. His knowledge and experience were exceptional. I was also very impressed with the work of Hank who kept an eye on things for my entire trip, even to the point of picking up that one flight had been changed, meaning I would have missed a connecting flight home and the noticing that another flight had been inexplicably cancelled. It was good to know that I had that level of backup. I cannot recommend Bench highly enough and would go with them again without hesitation.
