Bench Africa Opiniones 

We used Bench Africa for our first trip to Africa, travelling to South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mauritius. Everything was taken care of by our travel consultant, transfers, accomodation, extra activities at Vic Falls. The personal knowledge our consultant had was integral to planning our trip and we had the best experience at Pom Pom Camp in the Okavango Delta. It was such a personal, interactive stay as close to nature and the animals as you can get. Our next stop was Muchenje Safari Lodge which was a really beautiful place and we went on Safari in the Chobe National Park and were witness to over 200 elephants visiting the Chobe River. We stayed at Batonka Guest Lodge in Vic Falls which was again a lovely place within walking distance of the town. Vic Falls was amazing with lots to do and my kids loved the adrenalin activities. Lux Belle Mare in Mauritius was our last stop and OMG it was amazing. What a resort this is! We chose all-inclusive which made it so much easier with the kids able to do their own thing with meals and drinks during the day. The dining options were vast and varied catering to every desire. The kids club was a lot of fun for my 8 yr old whereas the teens had options and water sports to keep them busy. The rooms were great and we had interconnecting which was ideal. I can’t thank them enough for ensuring our once in a lifetime trip was just perfect. Thank you Bench Africa. I hope we can get back there again one day.

We had the most amazing experience due to the wonderful staff at Bench Africa.
Our time was limited so our travel person suggested quality over quantity.

We had a few days in Cape Town, extremely happy with accomodation and
transfers.Everything went smoothly and efficiently.

Both our game parks were amazing, Kings Camp and Leopard Hills. I could not be happier with the experience we had in both camps.
Each one did have something that stood out more than the other, but we were overjoyed with our experiences in both.
The safari's exceeded our expectations, and my biggest thrill was when my husband, who NEVER wanted to go to SA, said very quietly to me..."I am so pleased you MADE.. me come".
Mind you, that was the game parks only.

Wonderful experience, definitely would return for more, and certainly Bench would be my go to for advice and bookings.

Bench Africa provided prompt response when looking at booking the climb at Mount Kilimanjaro. Even after the booking was made, they provided a quick response when questions were provided. The company that bench Africa use to complete the trek were also great.

Would like to see the packages that are sent and provided to clients be sent in the mail earlier than current procedures as we were already away and missed the itinerary and information that was inside these packs.

A list of helpful items would be great to send to clients heading on the trek as this would be useful for those who haven't done much trekking before. It is lucky we contacted a friend who had completed the climb before and told us some important items to take, which we would have not thought of taking.

Bench Africa delivered an amazing travel experience. From start to finish there was nothing to be faulted.
Kevin, our guide was extremely knowledgeable, safe and accommodating and made the whole experience fun, entertaining and educational.
The properties we stayed in were wonderful - the staff were extremely friendly and no request was ever too difficult.
Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge was one of the most beautifully scenic places I've stayed at - the rooms had the most incredible view of the Lake and Valley and it was the most incredible view to wake up too.
Sweetwaters Tented Camp also provided a flawless and accommodating environment. The tented rooms were amazing from the spaciousness to the comfort, to the slippers! The camp itself also had a large range of extra activities - the spa treatments are definitely recommended.
The National Parks we visited provided us with sightings of a large range of wildlife - the knowledge our guide Kevin had was next level - what an amazing and enjoyable trip - something I will remember forever and happily recommend to anyone wanting to visit Kenya. Thanks Bench Africa!

Bench Travel arranged not only a 21 day Safari Tour with Jenman but also my flights and accommodation on either side of this tour to perfection. All accommodation was excellent (more that what I'm used to actually) and I was met at airports and taken to lodges on time every time. Our African tour guides were very knowledgeable about local flora and fauna and peoples, locations, etc and were excellent in dealing with 10-12 sometimes complaining people. They were very integrous and I can't speak highly enough of them nor of Bench Travel. I felt safe at all times in such a new and unknown environment.

My Diverse Namibia journey with Wilderness Safaris, booked with Bench Africa, was absolutely fantastic, a very good knowledgeable guide/driver, excellent camps, great variation of scenery and activities. Great adventure and lots of fun.

Thank you to Karen from Bench who did a fantastic job organising our tour, had a great time, The rooms in Amalinda Lodge was amazing and the view from the pool spectacular.
Our driver/guide Dumi such a gentleman and genuine nice guy, felt safe all the time.
Egypt and Jordan welcome the tourists and so much security you have nothing to worry about.
Thanks again Karen !!!!!!!!!!!!

Very happy with the service and knowledge of Julie who helped me organise a family trip for 14 members of our family. Organising for so many, ranging in age from 7 to 66 was no easy task.
A wonderful time was had by all and the organisation was first class.
Would definitely use Bench Africa again.

Bench Africa know Africa front and back and if you want a stress free journey of a life time they are the way to go...

Absolutely amazing!

Some of the hotels could use a bit of a spice up but apart from that it was just amazing!!

Awesome tour. Will absolutely be recommending the tour to my clients.

Thankyou Bench for taking care of all of the fine details and arrangements so that we could enjoy the most magnificent trip! So many incredible, unforgettable experiences!

One of the best experiences of my life, would happily recommend Bench, the trip was amazing and our tour operator Maria was perfect!

One of the best weeks of my life! Crew were great, accommodation fantastic and I loved how it was all inclusive. Food was exceptional.

All the arrangements made by Bench within Africa were excellent, our connections and pick ups were where we were told to expect them and it was friendly professional service.

Most amazing trip ever. Every little thing was thought of and the full experience was amazing. I would travel again with Bench in a heartbeat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bench Africa were amazing! Travelling through Botswana with three young children was always going to be tough, but the Bench team had everything organised and chose the most suitable camps for a family like ours. The all inclusive activities were brilliant, especially the doors free helicopter ride over the Okavango Delta. We felt so spoiled the whole way.

Tanzania:
Our Leopard Tours driver/guide in Tanzania, Michael Lucas was outstanding - very knowledgable, thoughtful, helpful, accomodating, good sense of humour & all round nice guy. We were all very sad to say good bye at the Kenya border!

The standard of accomodation overall was fantastic! Mount Meru Hotel, Ngorongoro Farm House, Serengeti Sopa lodge all excellent but the tented camps were our favourites! Kirumuru was just great but the Satao Elerai Camp blew our minds - probably our favourite accomodation anywhere in the world!

Kenya:
Again, our Southern Cross Tours driver/guide in Kenya, Freddie was outstanding - very knowledgable, thoughtful, helpful, accomodating, good sense of humour & all round nice guy. We were all very sad to say good bye at the the end of the safari.

The only massive disappointment for the trip was arriving late in the day at Satao Elerai & not having any real time to enjoy this fabulous camp. We definitely should have stayed an absolute minimum of 2 nights but were rushed away straight after an early breakfast to transit to the next overnight stop at down town Nairobi! We just could not understand why we would suffer hours of peak hour traffic & a huge day in the car, only to end up in a hotel room in a major city - not what we came for at all! There appears to be no rational reason to go through Nairobi at all. All of us would much rather have spent an extra night at Satao Elerai, enjoyed the sunset cocktails on the deck chairs & and some chill out time around the pool & found another route to Masai Mara - avoiding Nairobi at all costs (even if this meant adding an extra night to the package).

Masai Mara Game Reserve was amazing as was Lake Nakuru. The Masai Mara Sopa Lodge was a bit of a disappointment (very tired & in need of a major refurbishment) but the Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge was absolutely fabulous - could easily have spent another night there also!

Overall, we loved the trip but if the above mentioned changes could be made to the itinerary, it would be absolutely outstanding
