Perfect
5/5

we spent 8 days with Ben as a driver guide for safaris (Nakuru, Masai Mara, Navaisha and Amboseli). Ben is an excellent guide driver, he knows how to adapt to customers, he has a lot of humor, explains a lot about Kenyan life and the reserves. Thanks to him, we were able to see lions, leopards and cheetahs very closely. It was magical, he knows the reservations perfectly. Ben is the best guide

Awesome experience!! Benson is knowledgeable and truly care about the nature
5/5

My husband and I had a fantastic time!! Everything was perfect. Benson was an excellent guide, super reliable, funny, patient, and knowledgeable. He’s passionate about his job, Kenya, wildlife, and I absolutely love him for that! He was also very flexible on the schedule before and during the trip, and always communicated with us and asked for our preferences. You really can feel they put lots of efforts to make sure we have a great time. We went to Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru, and Masaai Mara - great itinerary and we saw every animal we could possibly think of! Benson was very good at getting us to the best spots to observe the animals as well. If you’re still thinking about it, go with Benson and you won’t regret it!

Kind, open, and honest with lots of experience!!
5/5

Our experiences with Benson or top notch from start to finish. First and foremost he is an amazing and thorough communicator. He was able to offer us great flexibility when it came to booking our trip and even made sure that we got into the hotels we wanted to be in and what's flexible enough to add an extra day in the masai mara. He tells you from the beginning of the trip to let him know whatever it is you want to do and want to see, and he means that he really will customize your trip for you. On our trip we saw the big five multiple times each, and even got to see alive cheetah kill of a wildebeest. Most importantly we noticed that Benson was a far more skilled driver than the other drivers we saw on Safari, and his personality and humility makes spending so much time with him a pleasure which was a major cause of concern for me. If you book with this company you will receive great customer service and an amazing tour experience. They come with my highest recommendation.

Experienced, responsive and honest
5/5

My husband and I recently went on a safari organized by Into Adventure Safaris and visited Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Oldepai Gorge and Amboseli. Ben, our guide, was very responsive and accountable. The tour operator was flexible on our choice of accommodations and tried to secure the hotels we requested. I have a gluten allergy and Ben was always very careful to convey this to any hotel we went to and made sure I could eat safely. All our hotels were really nice (except for one, but had changed management recently). It was one in a life time adventure. We enjoyed our journey very much. Benson, our guide, was professional, had excellent interpersonal skills, very knowledgeable of flora and fauna. Benson could recognize any birds and was patient to answer all questions. Ben certainly loves his job and loves to explore the savannah. Robert was our guide in Tanzania and was really sweet and attentive. Are you ready for your next adventure? Hold on tight, as this is definitely the start of a good one!

Professional, friendly and caring service
5/5

We had an amazing experience with Into Adventure Safaris and our wonderful guide Ben.

All of the communication prior to the trip was friendly, informative, punctual and professional.

And our safari was outstanding, Ben was always punctual, very knowledgable, full of energy and very friendly. We all hugely appreciate all of his efforts to make sure we had the best time, and worked tirelessly to make sure we managed to see all of the big 5!

Would highly recommend.

Unforgettable Safari with Ben
5/5

We had an incredible safari with Ben. He was very professional, knowledgeable and fun and we had an amazing experience, seeing the big 5 in a single day!
He recommended a great camp and put together a fantastic itinerary. He worked very hard to ensure we're having a great experience and was always on time.
I left my camera in the 4x4 on the last day and Ben dropped it off at our hotel on his free day. This shows that Ben really goes above and beyond!

It was the greatest time in my life
5/5

Game drive from 25-27.03.2022

Hello together,
On 25th of march, we started our safari trip. We drove with bonfire adventures, and we had the best driver in the world, Ben. It was my first safari trip ever before.
Ben was coming on 6 o´clock am to Nairobi and picked us up to drive to the “MASAI MARA NATIONAL RESERVE”. Then we were navigated for about 6 hours. After we arrived our destination, we got lunch. All time the food was very delicious. After a short break, we went to our first “short” safari trip. On 25th of march we were driving from 3 pm till 7 pm. We saw a lot of animals in this area. We were so happy that we could see so many difference animals at the first day. I like the hippos most. But also, the elephants, zebras and lions were awesome to see. At any time, we had to leave the national park. And on the way we saw a very impressive sunset. And shortly after, it started to rain. 9 o´clock pm we got supper.

On 26th of march the day started at 5:30 am. We got breakfast from 5:30 am till 6:00 am. And the game drive started at 6:15 am. It was a very funny day with all peoples involved. Ben was joking a lot. There was a lot of laughter. We told Ben the German joke “How to get an elephant in a fridge?” This was too much for him. He couldn´t stop laughing.

Great Tour, great Guide, Hakuna Matata
5/5

Me and my family did a 5 day Safari, from Nairobi to sweetwater lake, to lake Nakuru and to Masai mara. Our tour guide was Benson, and he was always trying to make us familiar with the country, the cultures, the history, the language and of course the animals. After we got to know each other there was a very enjoyable atmosphere which has been perfect to go on a safari. Benson always had to tell us a lot about the animals and the surrounding and attempted to make it possible to see every animal (which he managed to do).
I really enjoyed the experience and will definitively come back one day and I think Benson was a main reason we all fell in love with Kenia the way we did.
Some general facts and experiences were for example its always good to take some extra Schillings for Tips around with you and the Into Adventure Safari is very reliable. I'´´ have never felt insecure and we were always on time. Everybody we met and talked to spoke english very well, so you can coma along with anybody. If not, Benson was always a great translator. Do not forget your sunscreen and enjoy your trip!
Thank You Benson or how you would say in Swahili, Asante Sana!
