Our tour more than met our expectations. We received quick responses to our questions prior to the trip. The advice given to us by Julie from Bench Africa when choosing our trip was excellent. We had the trip of a life time.

Documents for itinerary excellent all information was clear and easy to understand. All transfers and activities were well organised and always there and helpful. Services and queries before we left were attended to immediately and effectively. Would recommend them to my friends.

Fantastically well organised and great places to go and stay....at very short notice. Very happy.

Had the best time in Tanzania and Kenya. From first speaking with Maria about a year ago to getting home safe and sound and very happy with our experience. The guides the accommodation the animals the people, everything was more than we expected.

Very experienced in African Travel, tailored our trip to our likes and dislikes, pricing was also matched to our budget. Everything went to plan, no hidden surprises, all tour companies used in Africa were experienced and reliable. Accommodation chosen was superb.

Hi Maria we are in Perth waiting for our last connection after a wonderful and perfect holiday!!! Dulini was as great as ever. We loved the River lodge being visited by elephants who wallowed in the water while we ate lunch, 2 leopards during an evening meal and even a pride of 4 lions while we sipped coffee waiting for morning game drive. We had seen the Big 5 within the first 2 game drives. We were spoilt by having our Ranger Fred Smith from our first visit and also met our original tracker Martin. Botswana was excellent. We loved the delta. The water experiences were great including bumping into another pride of lions 25 metres away while on a walk following our mokoro experience. We saw wild dog, mating lions and 2 week old leopard cubs. Mauritus was a nice relaxing way to end the trip. We loved lounging by the pool and snorkelling. We spent a day exploring the island with a private driver visiting a botanical garden, 7 coloured earths, a waterfall, Hindu temples and rumery. Thank you so much for helping put our itinerary together and making our trip possible! thanks again!

All dealings with Bench have been very positive; all requirements for our tailor-made South African holiday were met to a high standard. The representatives on the ground were professional and caring, as well as very informative. We will definitely be using Bench Africa again for our African holiday next year!

Karen organized a great trip (SA, Zimbabwe, Botswana) for us. I am in a wheelchair and posed some additional challenges for her.

Booked our honeymoon to South Africa and Mauritius and could not have been happier. Had the right mix of group and guided tours, hotels were of a very high standard and the whole trip felt integrated with not a single part feeling out of place.

We have recently returned from Africa and absolutely loved it. This was in spite of a poorly prepared itinerary which wasted days sitting around airports and hotels with ill timed connections. Our Drive Safari through Tanzania and Kenya was arduous, with most days driving for over six to seven hours to reach new destinations - one day we travelled for over 12 hours reaching the campsite after dark. None of this was stated in the shiny brochure, and only referred lightly in the travel documents that you receive two weeks prior to your trip and after you have paid the full amount. I would not recommend this travel company. Ann.
