Had the best time in Tanzania and Kenya.From first speaking with Maria about a year ago to getting home safe and sound and very happy with our experience.The guides the accommodation the animals the people, everything was more than we expected.
Very experienced in African Travel, tailored our trip to our likes and dislikes, pricing was also matched to our budget.Everything went to plan, no hidden surprises, all tour companies used in Africa were experienced and reliable.Accommodation chosen was superb.
Hi Maria we are in Perth waiting for our last connection after a wonderful and perfect holiday!!!Dulini was as great as ever. We loved the River lodge being visited by elephants who wallowed in the water while we ate lunch, 2 leopards during an evening meal and even a pride of 4 lions while we sipped coffee waiting for morning game drive. We had seen the Big 5 within the first 2 game drives. We were spoilt by having our Ranger Fred Smith from our first visit and also met our original tracker Martin.Botswana was excellent. We loved the delta. The water experiences were great including bumping into another pride of lions 25 metres away while on a walk following our mokoro experience. We saw wild dog, mating lions and 2 week old leopard cubs.Mauritus was a nice relaxing way to end the trip. We loved lounging by the pool and snorkelling. We spent a day exploring the island with a private driver visiting a botanical garden, 7 coloured earths, a waterfall, Hindu temples and rumery.Thank you so much for helping put our itinerary together and making our trip possible!thanks again!
All dealings with Bench have been very positive; all requirements for our tailor-made South African holiday were met to a high standard. The representatives on the ground were professional and caring, as well as very informative.We will definitely be using Bench Africa again for our African holiday next year!
Booked our honeymoon to South Africa and Mauritius and could not have been happier. Had the right mix of group and guided tours, hotels were of a very high standard and the whole trip felt integrated with not a single part feeling out of place.
We have recently returned from Africa and absolutely loved it.This was in spite of a poorly prepared itinerary which wasted days sitting around airports and hotels with ill timed connections. Our Drive Safari through Tanzania and Kenya was arduous, with most days driving for over six to seven hours to reach new destinations - one day we travelled for over 12 hours reaching the campsite after dark.None of this was stated in the shiny brochure, and only referred lightly in the travel documents that you receive two weeks prior to your trip and after you have paid the full amount.I would not recommend this travel company.Ann.
We have used Bench for three trips to Africa covering South Africa, Botswana,Namibia, Zimbabwe,Zambia ,Tanzania and Kenya.They have produced a tailor made itinerary for us each time.All our arrangements have been excellent. I would not travel to Africa without them.
Bench were fantastic from start to finish. They arranged my husbands 30th birthday present for me which was a trip to Cape town and then Safari, both hotels they chose were lovely with fantastic staff and amazing locations. Emails were replied to extremely quickly and professionally. We had the best trip with no stress and everything went perfectly - Thank you Bench
