Quality service and communication
I used Benson Safaris in 2017 when my wife and I did a safari in Tanzania. I told her I wanted to bring the kids some day when there were older. Well that was in Dec. of 2024. I was so happy with Benson Safaris that I reached out to use them again. Benson Safaris did a great job of communicating prior to the trip and the trip itself was grand. The two guides we used (one in Kenya, Edmund, and one for Tanzania, Lebetas) were knowledgeable, courteous and fun. We requested 4 out of 5 star accomodations and the places where we stayed were great. High marks all around.

Kenya and Tanzania with Jaribu Africa
Hey everyone! Just got back from an amazing 10-day trip to Kenya and Tanzania with my husband, and I have to tell you about Jaribu Africa. They really made our trip special.
Right from the start, they were great. Joseph sent us a questionnaire to find out what we liked, and then put together a draft itinerary. The final plan was a super detailed PDF with everything we needed to know. They even gave us a packing list! That was so useful.
Our first stop was Kenya. We had Kamau as our guide in Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru. He knew so much about the place! He was also really patient and helpful, answering all our questions. We had a great time with him.
Then, we went to Tanzania. We crossed the border on January 10th and were in the Serengeti by the 11th! Even though we didn't have much time, Jaribu Africa did it perfectly. Joseph was even in touch with us on WhatsApp during the trip, answering our questions.
In Tanzania, Jacob was our guide for the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire. He was fantastic! He knew all about the animals and was really easy to talk to. We learned so much from him in just a few days. He even arranged a nice picnic lunch for us in the Serengeti. It was a really nice touch.
Overall, we had a wonderful time. Jaribu Africa's planning and their guides made the whole trip smooth and fun. We've already told our friends about them! If you are thinking about going to Kenya or Tanzania, I would really recommend contacting them.

Combined Mt Kenya climb and safari was seamlessly put together, great value, and great guides.
We had a combined Mt Kenya Climb and safari. Keshi Tours was very responsive and easy to work with in getting it all arranged. The logistics were seamless, the guides were very experienced, and both the climb and the safari were tremendous experiences for my sons and I. I highly recommend Keshi Tours for the value and quality of their offerings.

This was a surprising and perfect safari trip
This was a surprising and perfect safari trip, and we have absolutely no regrets about the entire experience. If there’s a next time, we would definitely choose this team again.
There are at least three standout advantages of this safari team:
1. Exceptional Value for Money
We booked a 4-day, 3-night private tour at an unbeatable price that no other safari team could match. Despite the competitive pricing, everything from the vehicle quality to the guide’s expertise in animal spotting and extensive knowledge, as well as the owner’s meticulous control over the itinerary, was first-class.
2. Transparent Costs and Attentive Service
The cost of our safari package was clearly itemized, covering accommodation, park fees, and transportation, with all expenses transparently listed. The team provided heartfelt and professional service, with our two guides fully dedicated to helping us spot animals and ensuring a great experience.
3. High Standards of Quality Control
The safari team maintained strict quality control throughout the trip. We were able to communicate directly with the owner to adjust or add to our itinerary. The owner was highly attentive, providing a detailed briefing before the safari and a comprehensive review session at the end.

Unforgettable, Authentic Tanzanian Safari Experience Tailored to Perfection with Local Expertise.
I recently returned from an unforgettable safari with Benson Safaris Tanzania, and I cannot praise them enough! Their local presence as a Tanzania-based company truly sets them apart, offering unparalleled insight into the region’s culture, landscapes, and wildlife. As a solo traveler, I was impressed by their attentiveness—they carefully listened to my preferences and crafted a perfect itinerary tailored just for me. My journey included the Serengeti National Park, Tarangire National Park, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Crater.
My guide, Zablon, was exceptional in every way. His remarkable skill in spotting wildlife ensured I saw the Big Five and countless other species, exceeding all my expectations. As a local from Arusha, he shared the rich culture of the area, an experience I will always treasure. His knowledge of the best spots for landscape and wildlife photography was invaluable, making the trip even more special as a hobbyist photographer.
Benson Safaris Tanzania’s meticulous planning was flawless. From luxurious tented lodges with incredible food and breathtaking views to unforgettable experiences like a walking safari, night safari drive, and a hot air balloon ride, every detail was handled with care.
One of the most memorable moments was meeting Benson, the company’s owner. His passion for Tanzania and commitment to creating exceptional experiences for his guests were inspiring. Hearing his story was a privilege and a testament to the heart behind the company.
This safari was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and I wholeheartedly recommend Benson Safaris Tanzania to anyone seeking an authentic, personalized, and truly unforgettable experience in Tanzania!

Zulu Nyala: An Unforgettable Adventure
I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the entire team at Zulu Nyala for providing an extraordinary and unforgettable holiday experience. Immersing myself in the serene beauty of nature was truly the highlight of the trip, and every moment will be cherished as a treasured memory.
The outings were exceptional, each surpassing expectations. A special mention goes to James, whose professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail elevated our St. Lucia tour and boat trip to an unforgettable level. His warm demeanor and dedication made every moment special, from the breathtaking views to the thrill of dipping my feet in the sea.
The Lion Safari was another remarkable highlight, fulfilling our lifelong dream. Musa, our ranger, brought an unmatched sense of adventure and humor to the experience. His expertise and sharp eye for spotting wildlife were remarkable, ensuring we didn’t miss a single opportunity for awe-inspiring sightings. Musa’s determination to help us witness a lion up close, combined with his passion for his work, was truly inspiring.
One of the most memorable experiences was the elephant interaction, which was nothing short of magical. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will forever hold a special place in my heart.
The game drives within Zulu Nyala were equally breathtaking. Every detail felt meticulously planned, allowing us to fully appreciate the natural beauty and wildlife of the region.
I would also like to commend the entire Zulu Nyala team for their exceptional hospitality. From Percy’s warm welcome at the airport to the impeccable service throughout our stay, the staff demonstrated professionalism, kindness, and a genuine commitment to ensuring our comfort. Their efforts made the experience seamless and truly extraordinary.
Thank you once again for creating such an incredible adventure. Your dedication to excellence has left me with memories I will cherish for a lifetime.
