I've been on safari many times, but this experience in Hell's Gate National Park was completely different. Where we usually see animals in a jeep, we cycled through chameleon-colored mountains, gurgling gorges, and open nature trails. Zebras and impalas walked side by side - as if they were walking with us! During the boat ride on Lake Naivasha, we saw hippos from close quarters, and the chorus of white herons and mallards seemed to create a strange calm. Lake Nakuru was the final destination of the trip - there were rows of giant flamingos, and we were lucky enough to see two white rhinos. All in all, this two-day trip gave me a new insight into the beauty of nature and the speed of life. The trip was organized by Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris.

One of the most memorable moments of our 4-day Masai Mara safari was stopping the jeep on the open plains to see a stunning scene - a herd of topi antelope on one side, and a few zebras walking calmly in the middle. It felt like watching a living painting of the African wild. Our guide Michael was excellent - he knew exactly where to stop without disturbing the animals. The luxury accommodation, well-timed game drives, and updates on animal sightings made the trip smooth and enjoyable. Even the food was impressive. Huge thanks to Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris for making this a truly special experience.

Our four-day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru tour was the best experience of a lifetime. From day one, Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris has taken great care of us. In Masai Mara, we were able to see the Big Five, including lions, elephants, and cheetahs, very closely. Guide Joseph was very knowledgeable and always tried to show us the good side. Really surprised to see thousands of flamingos and rhinos in Lake Nakuru. Amazing food, great service, and a great game drive.

This was the first time my friend and I tasted a Kenyan safari. Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris has put in a lot of effort to provide a good experience - that has to be appreciated. John was a guide driver, very patient and experienced with animals. In Amboseli, he showed us an elephant family that was slowly making its way across a water body. After waiting for a long time in Tsavo East, I saw a lion. Our guide told us that their stomachs are full, so they are lying idle in the shade of the trees. Although the experience was memorable, some things need to be improved. At one of our campsites, the water pressure in the toilets was low, and sometimes there was no hot water. One day lunch arrived too late because the car had not left the camp in time. Still, I'd say this trip was a real safari experience - real woods, roughness, and animal touches.

Although I started as a solo traveler, I made new friends on this group tour, which made the whole trip twice as enjoyable. Standing on the shores of Lake Nakuru and watching thousands of flamingos felt like time had stopped. Watching the buffalo and elephants on the game drive in Masai Mara was breathtaking. The trekking part of Hell’s Gate was also amazing. Thanks to Bencia and guide Peter!

As soon as I stepped into Masai Mara, I knew I had entered another world. Guide James was very experienced; I could see a group of lions, cheetahs, and giraffes from close. The most wonderful experience was watching the sunrise floating in a hot air balloon - the most exciting moment!

I went on a 4-day trip with four friends. We have so many memories of traveling together. The guide showed us the places of interest. Masai Mara's game drives were a great experience, and I enjoyed watching the animals in the cool morning air. Accommodation was clean and safe, food was plentiful, and service was as per choice. The atmosphere of Nakuru was comfortable; I was able to capture several moments in the light cloudy sky. This package is suitable for traveling together.

Two of my friends and I took part in this 5-day group safari, and Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris opened a new world of experiences for us. Philip, our guide at Masai Mara, was explaining the way of life of each animal, as if a live natural history class was going on. The highlight was taking pictures next to the flamingos and rhinos in Lake Nakuru! But the most unique experience was riding a bicycle in Hell's Gate through the roaring canyons and rock caves. It's a different kind of safari. A kind of friendship developed in the group with everyone; the trip became more colorful with night bonfires and stories. Budget-friendly, but the service was excellent.

This three-day safari from Mombasa was absolutely cinematic! On the very first day, we saw a huge herd of red elephants in Tsavo East. Standing next to the Galana River, for a moment it felt like I was inside a National Geographic show! Bencia's team, especially our guide Philip, was very professional and told a great story. This trip will be truly memorable.

This 4-day Masai Mara safari was one of the best trips of our lives. Guide Simon was extremely experienced and patient, and his knowledge of animals is remarkable. he gave us one great moment after another in every day's game drive. we saw all of the Big Five - especially one morning when we saw a cheetah hunting, which was breathtaking. the experience of staying in the luxury lodge was also very comfortable and enjoyable.....🥱🛌 my family and I will always remember this trip.
