Reviews
Amboseli park and Kibo camp
This was my first time visiting Amboseli, and my first time staying at a luxury camp (Kibo) with Bencia. I absolutely loved Kibo!! Amazing food and very comfortable in every sense. Our game drives were great, with George as driver/guide who is amazing!! We also got lucky with the weather and were able to see Mt. Kilimanjaro every day! The night sky/stars were also the best I’ve ever seen in Kenya. We visited a Maasai tribe nearby as well. Highly recommend the entire experience. This was also an appropriate amount of time to spend at this park - I wouldn’t recommend more days unless you wanted more time to relax at the beautiful Kibo camp, use their pool, etc.

Good budget adventure
We had a 3 day trip with Bencia over the easter weekend to Nakuru-Naivasha and Hells gate. We were pleased overall with everything, all the things promised were delivered upon, we had a great game drive in Nakuru, as well as a really nice bike trip in Hells gate. One thing which was disappointing was the boat trip on Naivasha - but this was optional and was not organized by Bencia.
We went with an open top minivan, which wasnt exactly the newest, but was comfortable enough and got us where we needed to go. The accommodation was rudimentary and low on comfort, and there are better and more comfortable places to stay - but for the price we paid I think we got what we expected. To note: accommodations were clean, there was hot water so no issues to report there. The second night stands out at Naivasha as the camping spot had a wonderful view and was amazing.
Our guide/driver and cook were both great and very helpful and friendly. Food was great, we had a nice tour of Kenyan cuisine!
All in all, I would recommend Bencia.

Fantastic 3 Days Masai Mara
I booked a 3 day safari with Bencia Africa adventure with my friends. The driver picked as on time and was friendly. The journey to mara was smooth . We got a golden opportunity to see the big five. The camps were simply the best. To top it all it was my birthday and I was surprised with a birthday cake after dinner that was well prepared by chef George.

Very helpful, reliable and excellent value for money
We did a 3 day safari - Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru - with Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris and I can truly say we had a wonderful time.
Alfred, the owner, was extremely helpful right from the beginning and always returned my calls and answered my emails (and I did send him a lot of emails!).
The safari itself was excellent. Our driver, George, was extremely knowledgeable and funny and he went the extra mile to make it a memorable safari. He was very reliable and nothing was too much trouble for him. I have nothing, but praise for him.
The accommodation and the meals were excellent too.
If I do another safari, I will definitely book Bencia and ask for George. I highly recommend them. Thank you to George, Alfred and Prudence from behalf of me and my family for making this a truly unique experience. You deserve to do very well because you truly know what customer service is.

Recommendation x1000: quality of service, top availability and reasonable and consistent price!
An unforgettable experience in Masai Mara and Nairobi National Park.
Magnificent landscapes, lions, cheetahs, leopards, rhinos, giraffes, ... we left with stars in our eyes and memories engraved in our hearts.
An experience that wouldn't have been the same without our great guide, Joseph.
His kindness and his love for his profession and the treasures of his country made our stay sublime!
A big thank you to him and to the whole Bencia team who made our stay easy and comfortable despite the sanitary constraints!

Good budget safari operator, has own chefs and does not sell clients and runs safari even for 2 peop
We booked a 4 day safari and even noone joined it happened as planed. We had a good guide/driver Mourinho and a friendly chef John who cooked us very tasty food. A minibus and places to stay were budget type but good value for money. We saw everthing we wanted even though last day game drive was shorter than expected.
