Better than I could ever imagine!
My boyfriend and I went on a safari with Benson Safaris this past February. From the moment I inquired with them I knew I had to book with them. They were very responsive from the beginning and made sure we had the perfect 7 night itinerary. we had an amazing guide, Amini who was so friendly and knowledgeable throughout our entire trip. The accommodations and food were beyond what we could imagine. I am so grateful to have gone with such a great company. I highly recommend going with Benson Safaris and asking for Amini. Thank you for an incredible adventure!

It is a Great trip to Tarangire and Ngorongoro. We saw many animals. It was good organize trip!
Safari is an old dream, and I was very worried before the vacation so that the realization of this dream would not disappoint me.
There are a large number of offers of safari tours from different companies, prices and conditions are on average the same for all, so it is rather difficult to choose.
I wanted to plan everything in advance to make sure to include the safari in my vacation plan. I have been looking for and talking with managers of different companies for a long time. Nelson was recommended to me by guys who recently went on a safari with his company (I found them in the chat in the telegram).
I was not mistaken in my choice, everything was organized at the highest level - punctually and clearly. We talked a lot on WhatsApp before I arrival, he helped choose the safari program and plan the time of arrival in Arusha.
We arrived a day before the start of the tour. We were met by a car with a driver and taken to the hostel provided by Nelson.
The hostel has small rooms, but delicious dinners.
In the morning, after breakfast and an organizational meeting, we went to Tarangire Park, accompanied by a guide. We spent the second day in Ngorongoro. The impressions are unforgettable, a lot of different animals are very close.
We saw:
Elephants, Giraffes, Zebras, Gehenna, Jackals, Antelope, Wildebeest, Baboons, Ostriches, Warthog, Rhinos, Hippos, Monkey, Buffalo, Gazelles, Water goats, Liones
And a bunch of different birds - pelicans, flamingos
They searched for a lioness for a long time and found it.
The guide knows a lot about local animals, nature and was happy to answer all of our questions.
We spent the night at the Panarama hotel with a stunning view of Lake Manyara.
A delicious dinner was organized, a show program, they greeted us very cordially.
Flew off the day after the tour, Nelson arranged a taxi to the airport.

I highly discourage contact with this company
We took 2 of the same safari Tarangire NgoroNgoro. We talked with Jimmy to agree on the dates and times of arrival, as well as all the details of our safari. On the first day I paid, everything was great. On the second day we were asked to pay an additional $ 300 for Ngoro-Ngoro because they did not find a suitable group for us. Jimmy did not get in touch, an Inno answered the phone. They refused to fulfill their obligations. As a result, in order not to lose the day, I had to go to Lake Manyara. The overall impression is ruined. The money is lost. I highly recommend not contacting this group.
Мы брали 2 же сафари Тарангире + НгороНгоро. Общались с Jimmy согласовали даты и время прилёта, а также все детали нашего сафари. В первый день я внёс оплату, все было замечательно. На второй день нас попросили доплатить 300$ за Нгоро-Нгоро т.к они не нашли подходящую группу для нас. Jimmy не выходил на связь, по телефону отвечал некий Inno. ВыполнТь свои обязательства отказались. В итоге чтобы не потерять день пришлось ехать на озёро Маньяра. Общее впечатление испорчено. Деньги потеряны. Крайне не рекомендую связываться с этой группировкой.

Exciting and unforgettable safari to Selous game reserve
We went on safari with Kihindo Tours and Safaris in February. It was amazing expirience! Our guide and driver vere very professional and attentive. Thanks to them, we saw a lot of animals in Selous, even lions, hyenas and leopard.
The trip from Dar es Salaam was quick and comfortable.
We stayed overnight at Mloka safari lodge. It's cosy and feels like home. The food was great - at was clearly the best meal we got in Tanzania.
Big rhanks to Isaiah, who made our dream trip come true!

Beyond what i expected
In the beginning, I hesitated a lot to book a safari with this company, knowing that it was my first safari trip, as I did not find much reviews for it since it is a new company, but I took the risk because they made a great offer with amazing accommodations with an excellent price, and this was one of my best decisions.
I have contacted several companies and they were offering great offers with a high price, and other companies had offers with a reasonable price, but the accommodations were not good.
I contacted Connect African Safaris and they were very helpful and were very quick to respond in adjusting the safari schedule and accommodations with Hamidu
When we arrived at kilimanjaro Airport, my husband and I met Omar and he explained many things to us about the region, culture and tribes on our way to the hotel and also showed us a wonderful restaurant to have dinner in Arusha
On the second day the adventure started with our driver and guide Hamisi. He is really cool and professional. He was very helpful with us and tried hard to make us enjoy the best game driving and see a lot of animals. We've seen the Big Five
They are a great company and we had the BEST safari experience with them. Thank you guys for the most wonderful trip.

Had an amazing experience
I had an amazing experience on tour, We were picked up promptly from our Airport. The driver who picked us up was friendly and got us to the Katsam office safely. We were then greeted and briefed very perfectly, who was warm and friendly.
Our driver and guide on the tour was awesome. He answered any questions we had, and was very knowledgeable about the park and the game that we saw. We were so lucky to view zebras, giraffes, elephants, hippos, countless antelope and buffalo. The highlight was the pride of lions we were fortunate to observe. An unforgettable experience. He got us a close to the action as possible!
