Best Safari Honest Great People!!!
5/5

I love Alfred! He is a super nice and really kind amazing guy. I went on two safaris with Benicia and Alfred's personal help and they were both some of the best experiences of my life. Alfred listened to what I wanted and got me such a great deal in several of the most amazing safari resorts of all time. I think I basically saw every animal I could imagine and the second time I went looking for birds he recommended the best site at crater lake lodge, lake naivasha, and lake nukuru. Totally recommend going with Alfred and Benicia if your in Nairobi- he's not shady or swindely, he's sweet and easy to communicate with, and he's an all around honest dude. Hope to come back soon.

Super
5/5

I would say Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris is the best tour operator in Kenya. They made our Safari successful with their best professional and friendly approach. They placed our comfort before profit and provided services that must have severely limited their profit. Their driver, the vehicle, the hotels and resorts that they provided in the package was worth more than what I paid. Driver Piter is finest drivers on Kenyan roads and in game parks. His knowledge and understanding of wildlife and nature around helps one enjoy the safari and see all that is there on offer. His patience and friendliness is non-comparable. I highly recommend Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris to anyone going to Kenya for a short or long tour. I am sure Alfred will offer you what ever you want and not expensive price.

great safari in Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru
4/5

My daughter and I booked our tour through Viator and were happy to be taken care of by Bencia Africa Adventures and safaris. Our safari in Masai Mara was great and we saw so many wild animals. Lake Nakuru Park seemed small compared to Masai Mara but the lake itself with the flamingos and other birds is worth seeing and we had the chance to see a black rhino. Our driver Morris had very sharp eyes and was able to spot the animals easily. George did nice meals for us (great soups!!). The accommodation was basic, which is OK for young people, but at my age I would have enjoyed more comfort. I would definitely recommend this agency especially if you don't have a big budget.

Unforgettable safari in Masai Mara!
5/5

Due to trouble with our first tour operator (another company), I took contact with Alfred at Bencia just 3 days before our arrival in peak season. We were desperate to find a tour company that were able to help us with such short notice, and they really did everything to assist us!
All of their own Landcruisers was already booked, so they used their connections and found another car and driver/guide from a third party company, which worked great. Our driver/guide was Bernard, an very experienced guide who took very good care of us.

We spent 2 nights in Mara Leisure Camp, which was excellent! Clean and roomy tents, with a terrace viewing over a small lake and the park.

Once back in Nairobi, Ben from their office joined us to the airport to make sure everything worked out for us. This is a really nice and helpful team!

3 days budget safari to masai mara national reserve
5/5

A nice 3 days safari to Masai Mara with Tony our driver in a 7 seater tour van. Saw the big 5 including reticulated giraffes and the good climatic conditions: good temperatures, no rains.
The nights were well spend in Enchoro Wildlife Camp in a single room with flash toilets and hot showers.
The 3 0f us enjoyed much and we felt like it was a family safari. Our cook John was fantastic in preparing the meals. He was friendly, awesome and sociable. The prices offered by Alfred, tour operator, were fair and I recommend him for that.
It was a nice exploration safari with Bencia Africa Adventure and Safari.
