In the first two days of climbing the Sirimon route, many giant trees and dry slopes had to be climbed. Although the path was a little difficult, but gradually after reaching Mackinders Valley, the scene changed completely - rocky valleys around and a strange calm environment. The guide was very helpful and briefed us well every day before the walk. At night, the food in the camps is served hot, which is really relaxing in the cold weather.

The start was to walk across the Great Rift Valley - a great view out the window! As soon as I entered Masai Mara, I understood why everyone talks so much - I saw the lion and the elephant in the first afternoon's game drive. The thrill of watching the cheetah hunt the next morning still lingers in the body. On the third day of Lake Nakuru, rows of pink flamingos on the shore of the lake, with rhino - fantastic! At the end, the parade of elephants with Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli National Park in the background - a postcard moment in a word. Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris did everything on time; the jeep is comfortable, the food is good, and the guide, Joseph, is knowledgeable and very polite.

On the first morning of my journey from Nairobi, I felt as if I had stepped into another world. Not only the road, but the villages on both sides of the road, the green valleys and the occasional wild animals - all this seemed to paint a new canvas in the eyes. The moment I entered the Masai Mara, the sight of the endless wilderness came to my mind. On the evening of the second day, as the sun slowly tilted to the west, the entire savanna was filled with golden light - the most magical moment of the trip. The lively narration and safe driving by the guide made the entire trip comfortable.

On the first day, when I set out on my way to Masai Mara in a 4x4 jeep, I felt like stepping into an unknown adventure. Along the way, we saw giraffes, elephants, and even lions resting on the side of the road. Arriving in the afternoon, on the first game drive, I saw three members of the Big Five. On the second day, I was shocked to see the endless stream of wildebeest migration - thousands of animals crossing the river together, and crocodiles waiting nearby. The nights were spent in luxurious lodges, where every room had a view of the stars in the African sky.

Our visit to Samburu was a unique experience. As we left the hustle and bustle of the city for northern Kenya, the scene changed. Although the roads were a bit rough, the guide was driving with great care. The famous reticulated giraffe was the first thing I saw when I arrived at the Samburu Reserve! Their design is very different. Then I saw the long-necked gerenuk walk right past our car. The most exciting was the Ewaso Nyiro River. There I saw huge crocodiles sleeping together. It was certainly a great opportunity to see nature up close outside the city.

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!
