Awesome Safari experience
We loved the 5-day-Safari to Masai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha and Hell‘s Gate! It was our first Safari and it couldn‘t have been better! We already saw the big 5 after day 3 but all of the days were packed with amazing moments! The hotel choice of Bencia was outstanding and the food at the Lodges just excellent! Our driver George did a great job and always drove safely!

Efficient and cooperative
Hi, I'm from Costa Rica.
The customer service from this company was wonderful. They always cared about every detail.
Through WhatsApp, the managers of the company follow up on you, but it is not necessary because everything happens as agreed.
My guide was George, who was always on the lookout until he opened the door for me. We made some changes to the itinerary based on how tired we were, but all agenda items were always met (just order changes).
Despite it being low season, we saw all five big animals.
I chose the budget option, so the accommodations weren't luxurious, but they have what it takes to sleep and leave the next day.
I recommend you bring:
Water and additional snacks (it is a long trip).
Mosquito repellent.
Disinfectant wipes to clean the sandals that they give you in the bathrooms (they can also be used to clean the toilet bowl in public bathrooms).
Paper tissues in case you have to go to the bathroom in the park (we are in the middle of the jungle, so there are no restrooms).
If you are picky, like me, you can bring your own cloth or towel, because the ones in the lodges don't look so new.
Mask to cover the light (if you sleep in tents, it will be dark, but if it is a hotel, light can enter).
Thank you Alfred, George and John, I was really happy during my trip. I hope you can have more clients from Costa Rica and Latin America in the future. You will enjoy it too.

Highly recommend
Initially I booked a 2 days/1 night safari to the Maasai Mara through WhatsApp (awesome and easy way to do it I must add) I was picked up on time by my fantastic guide, dropped off at BAAS offices to finalize my booking and for payment. Unfortunately (not really in the end) another of my tours got cancelled and I was convinced by the very helpful guys at BAAS to book an extra day, which I did. Best decision I made, because the second day we did a full day safari and we basically saw all the wildlife possible. Absolutely amazing experience with an even more amazing guide (some top notch driving was displayed). Overnight stay at the camp in “tents” was above expectations (hot showers and electricity). Also super flexible at fitting a safari tour to everyone’s needs, which sometimes makes it all a little chaotic (different agencies, companies use the same camp/guides to do the tour, so people might have different itineraries), but the guide was very flexible and wanted to give everyone the best possible safari experience, so we came to a decision as a group. Would definitely book with these guys again, highly recommend.

Amazing staff
We have a great time with this Safari Agency. They are very professional. They take care of you as a mother would do. We have been extremely happy. Philip , the driver makes the best for us too see the animals and you will feel absolutely safe with him. Bernard is the teacher that you need when you're in the middle of the savanna. He takes care of you in all the details. George , the chef, cooks meals as you were in a good restaurant of Nairobi, even though you are in the middle of nowhere. And finally Mimo, who is the smile of Kenya, and will make you feel at home.
What's more for a very good price. We will choose this agency again in
If we travel again to Kenya. Thanks guys for everything.

Amazing adventure!!
We booked four days Safari with Bencia (3 nights/4 days MasaiMara+ Lake Nakuru) and the whole experience was really fascinating.
Communication with the company was very easy, and safari experience was superb. Our driver was Joseph and our cook was John. We think It might be very difficult to find two people as good as them and as professional as them to travel around Kenia.
Joseph did his best to show us all the animals in both Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru and John cooked for us delicious food and made us feel really special. He is so a nice man. Joseph is also so kind and friendly and tried to answer all questions we asked him. He is an amazing driver and the best at finding animals (we met the Big five!) Thank you very much Joseph and John. See you Soon Bencia!!!!
