Dream came true
Ibrahim going Tanzania safaris made our dream come true. Normally, I buy the Lonely Planet and am my own tour guide. In this way my son and I have travelled in many countries, with success. But in Tanzania this is not possible, believe me. A visit to a national park is not like going to the zoo. And if you think you yourself can do the driving, well, forget it. After having received a dozen prices for a safari I almost gave up, because I really thought that it was only something for the select club op rich people, which I am not. But then I looked for the best price. I have to admit, it's still a lot of money, but chances are high that this will be our one and only visit to Tanzania. So... We said yes. What we got for the money was great - and, I think the same as the ones who pay ten times more. We were collected early in the morning by a driver, got a breakfast, two other couples joined and off we went. Eli, the driver, was 4 days non stop happy, he knew a lot about almost any species. We first visited Serengeti, had half a day of watching anything. Name it, we saw it. The big 5, gazelles, thousands of zebra's, antilopes, rhinos, monkeys, a crocodile, etc. We doubted quite some time about sleeping in a tent, but we did and it was very comfortable. In terms of how comfortable a tent can be. The shower was cold, but hey, even I, the one who normally won't leave my house without showering or new socks, I could let it go. People won't die of dusty hair. Beware of the fact that the day after you are much closer to the Ngorogoro and temperature drops intensely. It was 9°C and we weren't prepared for that. Well, actually we were. But we didn't listen. So be prepared! That was our second evening, after more Serengeti. Nice as well is the way you eat. Each company has its own chef. Ours was amazing. How can you make bread, bake pizza, cook soup, a stew and french fries on a gas stove? It was not just good. No, it was delicious! Our third day was Ngorogoro. Something completely different than Serengeti. Lush, damp, green. Both were spectacular. Then we headed to Arusha Inn Hostel for the night. Not spectacular, not the rooms, nor the hotel, but we were quite tired and eyes shut the bed felt very comfortable. The day after we visited the
Materuni waterfalls. A long ride, best to make sure you visit Moshi afterwards. Once we arrived we were offered rubber boots, but hey, who needs boots? These Europeans can handle a bit of mud. But the amount of mud is large. It seems like your walking through a bath of chocolate. Or cow poop. We were really glad that our two guides litetally held our handq on the steeper parts. My son brought his swimming pants, well, I brought my bikini too, but... We weren't that brave. Let's say that the beauty of nature was fullfilling enough. One thing is for sure: I'll try to print these 4 days in my long time memory, that's for sure.

Amazing Kenya safari with Benin’s. Once-In-A-Lifetime experience
It’s the first time we have been in Africa. And for sure we have a great one.
First of all, thank you so much for arrangement of a wonderful 10-day safari in Kenya by Benson (Banok Safaris). He plan what we need and what we want according to our budget , his prompt reply solved our query whenever we have.
Accommodations were comfortable with nice surrounding environments.
Eric the perfect guide as driver who took us for an amazing and memorable adventure through out our journey. Samburu special 5 and Africa Big 5 got within 3 days game drive . He always brought us to a best place for nice photo shooting point and introduce us all about animals, landscapes and what we want to know. Our communication was good as friends.
I feel so lucky to witness breathtaking scenery and being touched.
We all satisfied with Banok safaris and hope to have another journey guide by them in future,

Incroyable
We had an excellent safari. We were able to visit the Serengeti (central and northern parts), which allowed us to witness the migration. The Ngorongoro Crater is also magnificent.
A big thank you to Jerome for the organization and support during the months leading up to the safari – he was always available whenever I had questions.
A big thank you as well to Stanley, our driver, who taught us so much about the savannah ecosystem and made this experience so enjoyable.
I highly recommend Meruslopes for organizing your safari.

Safari Honeymoon
We had a wonderful time with Golden Trips Tanzania. Our guide, Edward, was truly outstanding. He was not only extremely knowledgeable and an excellent navigator through challenging terrain, but also a genuinely kind and sincere person. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to see so much wildlife up close, which made the experience unforgettable. Throughout the trip, he went above and beyond to make sure my wife and I were having the best possible time. We learned so much from him and felt well cared for the entire journey. Highly recommend!

Supermen in Kenya
Our guide, Titus, is one of the amazing I’ve ever experienced.
He well managed the whole itinerary, and made some necessary adjustments based on the options we choose, then the schedule won’t be too tiring.
He is off road driving skill is reliable, and he always able to put us in the best spot during the game drive, it’s very because it could be 20+ car fighting, Titus always managed to anticipate the movement 👍👍👍
