Excellent way to experience the beauty of safari - Going on safari has been a bucket list item and this experience did not disappoint! Our guide was Joseph and he is the reason we had such a great time. Knowledgeable about the plants, animals, birds, customs and best roadside places to eat and more than willing to share that knowledge freely. He went out of his way to make sure that all of us an incredible experience. We saw so many animals, and so close. His relationship with other guides ensured we were “in the know” when an elusive animal was spotted (hello, baby cheetahs!). We saw a white rhino at lake Nakuru, and, as always, Joseph let us dictate how long we spent enjoying seeing him. I could not recommend this safari any higher. The lodges we stayed at were very nice, especially Nakuru Sopa.

Superb Proffessional - If I compare this company with other safaries which I have an experience (2 other), this is definitely the best. Main reasons: good and fast communication, time responsibility and responsibility at all. We have a very successful trip to Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli. Special thanks is for guide and driver Edward. He's really professional guide and driver. He has a big knowledge about african nature. He can easily explain you every question you have about it because it's also his hobby. For birdwatchers like me I definitely recommended to take this guide. He is also very responsible driver. We've seen many safari cars stuck in the mud because of big rain. Once he helped one car to put out from the mud. Many times went through much more muddy roads and we didn't stuck. He kept the car clear after every dirty driving. He went to preventing check the car for avoid a problem. He drove more than 8 hours in this horrible kenyan traffic situation, no problem, hakuna matata.

10 days tour in Kenya - We had a very fancy journey with this company in January 2024. That was perfect. Our tour for 3 person's was for 10 days we visited Masai mara, Naivasha y very another placed in kenya. Our driver came to the airport an ex pick off us and then with the safari car (land cruiser) visited a lot of places. The name of our guide and drivrr was Gorge. He was very nice and professional and I advise that take tour with him. Another advise is that Masai Mara and Naivasha are the best we were three 2 night in Masai Mara that was enough but just one night in Naivasha that was not enough time because the soap hotel in Naivasha was perfect

Best Safari in Kenya - Bencia really responded to our request. We had a tight budget and we were still able to do the Masai Mara and Nakuru Park. Georges the guide and George the cook were great! It was wonderful !

Amazing Wildlife and beautiful lodges - This trip is perfect to visit Masai Mara and see all the wild animals living in it, I booked the luxury lodges and for me it’s totally worth it, excellent food, views and beautiful and comfortable rooms just perfect after a long day of safari and travel. Due to changes in the schedule by the tour company I also visited lake Naivasha and the Crescent gardens; in the boat tour you can see hippos and lots of wild birds, and the Gardens it’s ok if you like a private run place with enclosed antelopes and zebras, beautiful animals but not wild enough for my taste. Lake Nakuru national park is totally worth it, we saw rhinos and giraffes among other amazing wildlife, I would have loved to stay longer.

Great Safari with tedious end - On Day 1, we were picked up at our hotel in Nairobi and drove about 5 1/2 hours to our accommodation, close to the gate of the Masai Mara. Even in the afternoon we had our first game drive where we could discover the first zebras, wildebeest, giraffes,.... The day ended with a beautiful sunset in the national park. The accommodation was as expected simple. The staff was very nice and the food delicious. Day 2 began in the early hours of the morning. We spent the whole day in Masai Mara National Park and could see an indescribable variety of animals. Driver Ronald was in constant contact with other drivers and drove us to the most amazing places. On day 3 we made our way to Lake Nakuru. On the way we stopped at Lake Naivasha to take a one-hour boat ride there for an additional fee of $20 per person. Further to Lake Nakuru we only moved into our hotel, which exceeded our expectations. I expected a Tendet Camp, but we moved into a hotel with a pool. On day 4 we spent the morning in Lake Nakuru National Park where we could once again observe a variety of animals - including even rhinos! The rest of the day we spent in the car to drive back to Nairobi. We, and another couple, told our driver that we had to go to the airport and the couple to a nearby airport hotel. He then called his boss, who informed him that the airport transfer was not included. All passengers were amazed as the drop-off point airport or hotel within Nairobi was included in the price. He called his boss again and gave me the phone to talk to him. He told me the same thing and until the City Market there was radio silence. The driver dropped us off in the middle of the road, no longer felt responsible for us and drove. A little later came a nice lady from caribou safaris, but none of Bencia Safaris was there. The lady from Karibu Safaris contacted Bencia Safaris and after some time we finally met a contact person who finally organized an airport taxi. Fortunately, Bencia Safaris commented and made us an offer to make amends.
