We would thoroughly recommend Bench. Kapama: great accommodation & food, lots of animals Zambezi Sands: great location, friendly staff, great canoe ride with hippos Camelthorn: enjoyed elephant train, great location, friendly staff, amazing game viewing especially from Hide Kuzuma: absolutely amazing, great food & accommodation, heaps of elephants, included day trip to Chobe National Park.(July not a good time to go to see other wildlife because of long grasses) Cape Town: in hindsight should have done first, not last

Our trip to Zimbabwe was the first time dealing with Bench International and were chosen by us because of their good reviews. They didn't dissapoint. The staff are knowledgable and very helpful, the booking process easy and any queries we had were quickly sorted out. Our safari holiday was our first trip to Africa and due to the information and comprehensive itinerary supplied we had no reservations about where we were travelling to it was absolutely amazing. Staying both in Zambezi national park and Hwange National park the lodges were outstanding, beautiful and unique in their own way. The people so friendly and the safari guides exceptional. Everyday saw more animals on mass and up close from the largest to the smallest. As two people travelling on their own we would definitely do it again and would book through Bench simply for the expertise and peace of mind.

Recommendations were 100% perfect and we were gob-smacked everywhere we went. We could not have asked for a better job than Bench provided and that is from an ex travel agent who has some idea of how things work. Accom was superb, time in different areas was perfect and documentation was clear, concise and easy to understand. We will definitely use Maria at Bench again in 2018 for our trip to Tanzania, Kenya and the gorillas.

I have utilised Bench International for many years and being in the industry myself its great to let not only Bench know how good they are but to let all the passengers know how good Bench is as well. Im always asked "and who do you recommend".

We had an outstanding holiday all arranged by Bench. Everything ran very smoothly

WOW, I wanted to thank you for helping me find a game lodge for my trip to South Africa - Kapama Game Reserve is AMAZING!!!! The staff, facilities, food and game drives AMAZING! I will highly recommending them for future bookings and I have passed on my glowing experience to everyone in our store. I will visit Kapama again for sure! I was also able to see all of their other accommodation options which are EXCELLENT! We were so lucky with our game viewing seeing 4 of the big 5 and SO many lions!!! Thank you!

Fantastic service driven by unbelievable product and experience knowledge. Able to assist with any little changes that arose and were more than happy to discuss additions to our trip at any time. Given a long and expensive trip, Bench went above and beyond to ensure we were happy. 100% recommend using them

I had the most magical time in Africa when I traveled there in November 2015 with Bench International. The professionalism and friendliness of the guides and hospitality staff, the excellent standard of accommodation, seamless transportation and the wonderful addition of Bench host Nicky made for an incredible trip. Desert & Delta is a fantastic choice of land operator. I would highly recommend.

An amazing company providing life changing experiences. Life long memories that will never fade. Most beautiful staff who truly care. Another level of customer service that I have never before experienced -- exceptional

amazing trip great service 1
