Review Time
We travelled to Africa in June 2018 and it was the best holiday I have had! Everything ran like clockwork. When we were to be met, out driver/guide was there, all our tours were fantastic, all our accommodation was clean and very comfortable. We felt well prepared thanks to all the pre-departure information supplied. By far the highlight of the trip was our safari experience with Kevin. We felt very safe at all times, he is very knowledgeable about his country and all things safari. He was helpful and friendly and we really enjoyed his company. I wish that we could return this year but we will have to wait till 2020 0r 2021 because of other commitments. Africa has got right under our skin and into our hearts.
LIFE CHANGINGOur Bench Africa safari in Kenya was everything we hoped for and more. Highly recommend Bench Africa if you’re thinking about an African adventure- nothing was any trouble at all. Even if you’re not thinking about an African adventure (and I wasn’t!) you really should. Truly amazing life changing memories.
I had no major issues with Bench. But did they wow me? Go the extra mile to get a 5 star rating? No. There were no major issues, but a few minor ones, which makes me give them 4 star rather than 5. Would I use them again? Probably, but I also might look at some of the other operators.
Thank you Lyndal - you gave us the perfect holiday with all your suggestions & recommendations. Loved the accommodation superb in four locations - transfers all worked well giving you the experience to remember for life. Thoroughly recommend Bench for a brilliant tailor-made holiday.
The lodges were all perfectly chosen to give us a great cross section of terrain & animals. All our accommodation was luxurious & extremely comfortable. The food was great & the staff at every single lodge was beyond outstanding. All transfers were seamless & made easy. Lots of wonderful surprises along the way too, like breakfast in the trees. If you have one trip in your lifetime, this is the one.
We booked our Honeymoon Safari with Bench Africa. The entire process was a delight and so seamless from booking, to the itinerary booklet to the actual safari. The holiday was perfectly planned out to suit us and made for memories of a lifetime. We started in Tanzania for a safari through the Serengeti, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater, and finished up in Zanzibar. All accommodation and food was perfection!
