Family trip of a lifetime! - My children and l recently returned from a 5-day trip with Benson Safaris and what fun we had! Every detail was taken care of including airport transfers so we could sit back and enjoy the journey. We went to Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park. Tarangire was our favourite as we were able to get up close and personal with so many elephants. We stayed in lodges and it was great to cool off by the pool at the end of each day. The food was great and our Guide Paul made sure they catered for the kids - no request was too big. Paul was so patient and kind and he was always happy to stop for a toilet break or to find ice cream!
When we were making the booking, Peris in the office suggested we add a few extra days in Arusha at the end of our safari and I'm so glad we did. We relaxed at our hotel and enjoyed some day tours and booked a day safari to Arusha National Park. We even got to meet Benson himself as he was at our hotel for a meeting.
Thank you Benson Safaris for the trip of a lifetime. We will be back to explore more of your beautiful country.

Incredible - We had the most amazing time on our 4 day safari with Benson. Leonard, our guide, was nice, helpful and so invested in getting us to see ALL the animals we wanted :). Our luggage did not made it to Tanzania, the company was so quick to help us, and made sure we could stop to shop for necessities before our safari.
We definitely recommend.

Spotted BIG 5, unforgettable experience with Benson Safari - We booked 5 days Safari tour with Benson for our family of 2 in Tarangire, Serengeti and NgoroNgoro. The tour was outatanding and our guide Zablon did his very best to exceed our expectations. We were able to spot all BIG5! Benson tailored our tour as requested and booked our flight from and to Zanzibar with Precision Air.
The car was comfortable and Zablon cleaned it every morning. Lodges were super nice and prepared good lunch boxes for us. In the car we had WiFi, fridge with drinks and binoculars. We also enjoyed open roof very much!
I highly reccomend Benson Safari Team and guide Zablon for unforgettable experience in Tanzania!

Safari Tanzania - Our 5 day safari adventure began at Kilimanjaro airport where we were collected by Jonas our guide for the trip.
Jonas was an exceptional guide with so much knowledge to share, including professional photos! We saw all the big 5 animals on our very first day!
The arrangements, including surprise Birthday cakes and hotels were wonderful. Patricia and all hotel staff were truly wonderful.
Thank you Benson Safaris for the experience of a life time

An Amazing Week in Tanzania - We just returned from our incredible trip with Benson Safaris. Our guide greeted us at the airport with a huge smile to begin our adventure. A 5 day trip is jam packed and a lot of driving, but the experience is once in a lifetime. Our guide made sure we saw everything we wanted (the Big 5 plus cheetahs, lots of hippos, hyenas...), as he was well connected with other guides and knew were all the best sightings were. After talking with other travelers we quickly realized that we were seeing more and WAY closer than most...we could have easily reached out and touched everything. Having everything pre-arranged made the trip seamless and our hotels were fabulous. Our teen sons both raved about the trip and said they would go again (which is high praise).

Unforgettable experience - We went on a 5-day semi-luxury safari with Benson Safaris and what a fantastic trip it was! The Serengeti, the Ngorongoro crater, it was an unforgettable experience. Everything was excellent, the hotels, the safari lodges, the food. Thanks to our wonderful and very friendly guide Jacob, we spot the big 5 and he told us so many interesting things about the wild life.
Thank you so much Benson Safari! We highly recommend you.

Amazing experience - We’ve had the most amazing safari experience with Benson Safaris. The owner took care of every detail and made sure everything went smoothly both before the trip, with good communication, as well as during the trip, with the most comfortable car, hotels, lunches etc and surprises here and there :)
We can’t thank enough Peter, our guide and driver, who took such good care of us. He’s the most kind, knowledgeable and patient companion you could have on a safari. Hakuna Matata all the way! Not to mention his eagle eye. It was hard to say goodbye at the end of the trip.
I wholeheartedly recommend this local company. You can’t top this level of care and attention to detail. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent safari vacation - We are a family of 4, 2 kids 15 and 13.
We just got back from a week long safari in Tanzania organized by Benson safari!
everyone and everything was excellent! our accommodations, iteninary and our guide/driver Goodwin were all exceptional. We got to see 6 separate wildebeest crossings on the Mara river! We covered a lot of ground from Ngorongora crater to central serengeti to the Mara river in 6 days but didn’t feel rushed or exhausted and did not miss out on the best sights in the world. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a once in a lifetime family vacation!!

Stolen our money - Helpful when organising our safari trip. It was an expensive trip for myself and my husband but we were looking forward to it as a celebration treat.
Unfortunately we were advised medically by our Drs that we could not travel before flying, so we notified them as soon as we could. At first they seemed to be helpful mentioning we could delay the trip to the future. We then scheduled calls with Benson and he sat down with us twice over the phone and suddenly claimed the money had been spent. However, eventually after a couple discussions agreed to only refund us half the money which equaled $1,106.65. This was back in early June.. he has since failed to do so and is now ignoring all of my communications.
I find this so frustrating as I had only sent the full amount of the money 5 days before the Drs told me to cancel the trip. If I had not been so keen and excited for the trip I would not be out of pocket now.
Benson seems helpful when talking to him but this seems fake and they are now just after money that doesn't belong to them. We received nothing from them, no safari, no accommodation, no food and no travel or airport collection so Benson Safaris should not be keeping our money.
Beware.
