Fantastic Tour with a Fantastic Guide! Ask for Zoblan!
We had a fantastic time with Benson's Safari; I can't say enough good things about our guide Zoblan. He cared for us and ensured that people weren't ripping us off or overcharging us. Zoblan was always on time when picking us up, which was nice as some people can be on African Time and run late. Zoblan provided tons of information about the animals, how they live, and their migration. We drove up close to them and could see them in great detail. We stayed at the Four Seasons Serengeti, and the hotel was stunning. On our first night, right after checking in, a herd of elephants walked by our room at the hotel; it was one of the most amazing experiences. Again, if you want to have a great time, ask for Zoblan. He comes from a family of safari drivers and has so much knowledge to share. We hope to book another safari with Benson's and will definitely be asking for Zoblan again. -- Alfredo, Natalie, and "Daniella" :)

Exceptional
Our 5 day Safari in Tanzania began 2nd March 2023 where we were collected at Kilimanjaro airport by Jonas, our guide for the week.
Jonas was an exceptional guide with so much knowledge to share, including amazing photography of our trip! We saw the big 5 animals on our very first day.
The arrangements, including surprise birthday cakes and hotels were wonderful, Patricia and all hotel staff were truly fantastic.
Thank you Benson Safaris Tanzania for the experience of a life time

An Amazing Week in Tanzania.
We just returned from our incredible trip with Benson Safaris. Our guide greeted us at the airport with a huge smile to begin our adventure. A 5 day trip is jam packed and a lot of driving, but the experience is once in a lifetime. Our guide made sure we saw everything we wanted (the Big 5 plus cheetahs, lots of hippos, hyenas...), as he was well connected with other guides and knew were all the best sightings were. After talking with other travelers we quickly realized that we were seeing more and WAY closer than most...we could have easily reached out and touched everything. Having everything pre-arranged made the trip seamless and our hotels were fabulous. Our teen sons both raved about the trip and said they would go again (which is high praise).

Excellent and very quick service!
From booking the tour to it's end, I only have praise. Our fluent in German and English tour Driver/ Guide Michael, arrived punctually with a 100% well equipped A/C Jeep. Cold drinks, binoculars, Information guide about wild life and plants we would see, were all part of the amenities. Michael the guide, was "simpatico" and really knowledgeable about wild life and culture in general. He made the experience richer by providing us with very Professional Information. Michael took care of "everything" like the check in at lodges, entries to the national Parks and was a very good driver on some very precarious roads. We booked a 7 day Safari beginning with Manyara Nalt. Park, Norongoro Crater, Serengeti and finishing in Tarengira Nalt. Park. The coronucopia of experiences of seeing all the big 5 animals and a mirade of birds ( Michael was an expert in Bird life) made this tour a "life time memorable experience".
We would highly recommend booking with Benson Safari!

Unforgetable and Amazing Experience
We had booked a safari with Benson Safaris. What a wonderful safari we had. Thanks to Benson and our guide Peter. Peter knows a lot of all the plants and animals in de national parks we visited: Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorogoro crater. Peter is a safe driver and is very focused on the wishes of the costumer. The arrangements and hotels were wonderful, Patricia did a great job too. Our trips during the day well organized and a day after the last trip we already missed Peter. Even when we decided to changed an hotel during the trip, they helped us to have it done.
We had wine provided by peter because he heard my wife doesn't drink beer and he always had a surprise (an animal to be photographed) during the safari. We were really surprised with the safari, one of the best experiences in our life.

Fantastic
I have unforgettable memories of the safari organized by Benson. From the friendly welcome from the airport, then a big thank you to Frank, our pleasant and careful driver. As for the lodges and our safaris in the parks, it was great. I recommend Benson for his patience during our exchanges to organize the safari and then his professionalism throughout the circuit.

Fantastic experience!!!
Benson was professional, attentive, knowledgeable, generous, and enjoys me to work with. Highly recommend. Our group enjoyed an incredible Kili climb as well as a day trip to Ngorongoro Crater. Can’t wait to go back. I’ll definitely hire Benson again!!
