Excellent customer care!
I booked a two days safari (Tarangire and Ngorongoro. The trip was amazing, our guide an excellent driver with a great knowledge of the animals, the overnight stay in a lodge with nice view of lake Manyara perfectly organised. As I was intending to continue my travels on the following day, Idrissah took care of me personally: he picked me up after the safari, brought me to a hotel that he had booked for me and even drove me to the bus station on the next day in the early morning to make sure I was safe and on the right bus. I felt treated like a friend and not a customer! Idrissah has a lot of experience in organising tours and a great passion for his job - I highly recommend travelling with his company!

Trip of a Lifetime
We booked Tazama Africa Holidays after I read the wonderful reviews. I'm so glad we did. Antony was our guide and really made the whole trip everything we dreamed about. His communication during the planning process was excellent and very timely, so that gave me a sense of relief. He picked us up right on time at our hotel, and we headed out to the Maasai Mara. Please note that the roads are not all paved so it can be a bumpy ride. As we arrived, everyone greeted him and he knew so many people and other guides. This is highly important because guides share information with each other on sightings. You want someone who knows where the animals tend to be and has a great relationship with other guides so that they share info on special sightings. We told him that we were especially interested in the big cats, and he went out of his way to make sure that we got to see them and got great photos. My camera battery died in the middle of a drive and fortunately, he had the same brand and lent me his. Antony shared information about Kenya and the Maasai Mara and was interested in learning about the USA as well. He is a very kind, caring soul and was fully invested in making sure we got what we wanted out of this trip. We saw lions, cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, elephants, zebras, water buffalos, hippos, and so much more. On the way back home and before our flight, he took us to the restaurant Carnivore which was absolutely delicious. Antony is a gentlemen through and through and you can't go wrong booking this tour company.

Trip of a Lifetime
My experience with Benson was first rate from the moment I requested a quote till I was dropped off at the airport. I was a little leery dealing with a company a continent away but Pendo was fantastic answering all my questions and altering the itinerary (10 Day Complete Tanzania) to suit my needs and always responding within a day despite the time difference. I chose the mid-level accommodations and they were fantastic. I can't imagine how much better the luxury level could be. A few of the camps were in the parks and the animals, particularly lions, could be heard at night. Richard, our guide, was excellent. He found all I wanted to see and we were often very close to the action and he gave us all the time we wanted to view before moving on.
I can't recommend Benson enough to someone considering a Tanzanian adventure.

Amazing 7 days! Highly recommend!
I took my 2 teenage girls and my parents on the 7 day Kenya's Finest Safari. We saw Samburu, Ol Pajeta, Nakuru and the Masai Mara. Every location took our breath away! From the moment we were picked up at the airport by Peter, everything was handled!! Peter was so nice and knowledgeable. He really loves his job and wanted us to have a great time. He was taking pics right along with us, as he loves the animals so much!
Robert was great to work with from the moment I sent the first email.
Highly recommend this company!!!

Great family Safari
We did an 8-day Serengeti Ngorongoro Safari with Shadows of Africa. Everything went completely as planned and we saw so many animals... Great guide, we always felt safe and well taken care of.
We are a family of 2 adults and 4 kids.

Good service, trust-able, reliable
It is good that the driver has all of the experiences. Recommended for solo traveler since it's allow you to be on the safari trip alone. Enjoy the time there.
