Good staff, wonderful guides !
The staff answered very quickly when I sent messages. I participated in Mt.Meru tour and 2days safari. The guides, porters and drivers were very nice. I could enjoy and learnt something from them.
They arranged everything for us. They also helped me to buy a SIM card.
We enjoyed our holiday with footslopes.

Extremely poor coordination
i booked a safari from Bonfire on 8th September, guide and safari van was ok. the coordination and communication from my agent innocent was pathetic. She was not reachable two days before the safari. Driver and vehicle details were not shared until i made 20 calls to various numbers. finally number was shared on saturday 19.00 hrs for sunday morning safari and to my surprise, the mentioned driver never came instead send some other driver.
this is pathetic and frustrating for the monies paid. i will recommend not to choose bonfire because of very poor customer service.

A LIFETIME MARRIAGE PROPOSAL EXPERIENCE
The weekend was fantastic and fun. A lifetime experience worth to remember.
Ndege was our travel agent who was very professional and helped us with planning for the exciting destination.
We really enjoyed our stay-cation, the proposal surprise was unforgettably awesome, beautiful flower arrangements, candle lit dinner, tasty meals, friendly staff, ambient rooms; everything at was on point. And definitely she said a big yes.
It was a pleasure and hope to share more life memories through Bonfire Adventures.

Had a great safari with Bencia
I was in Arusha having completed a wonderful 6 day Tanzania safari where I saw a lot and was planning to head to Amsterdam the next day when I changed my mind and WhatsApp about 6 safari companies in Kenya . Luckily for me, Alfred of Bencia safari replied immediately with an offer that fitted my tight budget. He was very patient with me as I needed to get my covid pcr test result first before committing myself. I took the comfortable River shuttle in downtown Arusha to Namanga. I was met at the Kenya side at Namanga by Cyprian and Johanas my driver/guide. They brought me to a bank where I could withdraw the maximum of 40000 per transaction per card to pay for my safari. The other guest bailed out and I ended up with a private tour for Amboseli. Johanas was great and I lucked out when Mt Kilimanjaro was not cloud shrouded for about 4 hours the next day during our game drive which started promptly at 6.30 am. I was glad I changed my mind as Amboseli was definitely worth it and I saw more than the famous Amboseli elephants, the largest in the world. After Amboseli, I continued with a 5 night safari which included Lake Naviasha, Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara. I was joined by 3 other individual travelers for the 3 day 2 night Maasai Mara tour, Bencia tours was quick to respond to my questions and made some changes last minute which was appreciated. Highly recommended. You have a choice of a modified van or land cruiser depending on your budget.

Good budget safari operator, has own chefs and does not sell clients and runs safari even for 2 peop
We booked a 4 day safari and even noone joined it happened as planed. We had a good guide/driver Mourinho and a friendly chef John who cooked us very tasty food. A minibus and places to stay were budget type but good value for money. We saw everthing we wanted even though last day game drive was shorter than expected.

Excellent tour organiser and guide, Fantastic Experience
Staying cooped up at home due to the current pandemic had left me roaring for an adventure. So, when the borders opened up again, I booked for Kenya. Get in touch with my wild side and douse my eyes with the uninhibited wilderness of wonderful Africa.
And thanks to my lucky stars, I found the perfect partner in crime, Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris. Alfred is a godsend as he took care of my itinerary quite well and paired me with Philip. All I had to tell him was my kinks, and that was it. It was quite an exhilarating experience and Philip helped keep my energy at peak.
The wildebeests were herding together and migrating. The Big 5 games were such a rarity. Taking a break in the wilderness and camping under the stars while listening to the sweet music of the beast cries was phenomenal.
I have heard my friends mention the guides being robot-like, but again, thanks to my lucky stars, that I found the perfect match. You can never go wrong if you plan with Alfred. I highly recommend them. Cheers!

Excellent Tour and Service
The 3-day tour of Amboseli was just perfect! George was our driver and he took us all the way form Nairobi to Amboseli then drove us all over the park for 3 days. He knew the park roads inside and out and found massive numbers of elephants, zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, impala, cape buffalo, hippos and even a pair of lions.

Very good organizer of safaris
We are very satisfied with organization of our 6 days safari to Masai Mara, Nakuru Lake and Amboseli National Parks. Our guide-driver gave lot of informations, chef cooked good dishes. We can recommend them
