Zambia was a delight! It was everything Maria at Bench said it would be and more! .With 12 flights in under 3 weeks there was every opportunity for something to go wrong but it didn't! The camps we went to were divine and the animals... well spectacular. I wouldn't hesitate to use Bench again for our next Africa trip. Thank you for a wonderful experience! Sarah and John

Bench International was amazing to deal with. Stephanie was professional, helpful, knowledgeable and passionate about Africa. Nothing was too much trouble. Our trip to Africa was a trip of a lifetime and it exceeded our expectations

My husband and I have recently been on holidays in Africa first embarking on where to go and what to do I contacted Bench International and was helped greatly by Steph one of their consultants.The holiday we planned together was fantastic, We arrived in Nairobi and was greeted by our guide for the week Kevin , he had a wide knowledge of the people, country and animals and was the nicest man you would every meet we were very sad having to say goodbye. Places we visited was Naivasha and Masai Mara ( Kenya) The accommodation was perfect and the wildlife we encountered was something we will never forget. I would highly recommend anyone thinking about holidaying in Africa and want everything looked after this is the company to do it for you.

As a woman traveling alone I really needed a company that took care of even the small things and Bench did just that. I had 7 flights all up and there was always a smiling face to meet me at every airport. I would recommend Bench to anyone traveling to Africa. .

I was lucky enough to visit Kenya in June 2015 and haven't stopped talking about my many incredible experiences since returning home to Australia. Bench International guided me from Nairobi to Lake Elementaita, Nakuru, Amboseli, and the Masai Mara and simply couldn't have done a better job. There wasn't a question our talented guides didn't have an articulate answer for, and they ensured we experienced some magical things - from seeing lions in a tree, to a pride of lions with cubs, a cheetah, and huge groups of elephants from just metres away. The accommodation was top rate, our 4WD vehicle comfortable and equipped with wifi, and the Kenyan people extremely accommodating. Africa has to be next on your must visit list, and specifically Kenya with Bench.

I recently spent 8 days in Kenya with Bench International and the trip has to be one of the best things I have ever done. Bench were fantastic, the guides had excellent knowledge and taught us so much about the amazing Kenyan wildlife, the accommodation was perfect and the vehicle even had wifi for me to send pics to friends and family back home. If you're thinking of booking a Kenyan holiday with Bench I highly recommend it!

My two sisters and I spent eight nights in South Africa and eight nights in Zimbabwe and all arrangements in Africa were made by Bench.Someone met us everywhere they were supposed to . Moore Quarters in Cape Town had beautiful apartments with plenty of room and hot showers and was in an area that we felt safe to walk around.The daily tours organised by Bench were good and the four day garden route tour was excellent.The properties we stayed in Zimbabwe were special. Bomani is a beautiful tented camp about an hour and a half from the tarred road and thus we only saw one other vehicle in this area of Hwange Park. We stayed about twenty minutes out of Victoria Falls at another beautiful property called Gorges Lodge which sat right on the gorge edge overlooking the Zambezi River. A really spectacular setting. A driver from the lodge took us to the Falls when we wanted. Our last stop was Imbabla which was close to the Botswana border. It is in a more touristy area but there are plenty of animals which do not mind you getting very close to them. We even had lions on the lawn in front of our cabin one night. There was a guard to make sure nothing went wrong. Exciting stuff!!! We had a wonderful time and always felt safe. I have travelled with Bench before so I had high expectations and they were met. If I am lucky enough to get to Africa again I will use Bench to organise everything. Stephanie from Bench made all our arrangements and they went flawlessly

I travelled Nairobi, Lake Elementaita, Nakuru, Amboseli and Masai Mara with Bench in June of 2015 and it could not have been a more magical trip. Everything was planned with careful consideration and nothing was overlooked. Every single activity was amazing and offered up something new to the group; there was a lot to do, but the itinerary still allowed for changes and flexibility. The Bench staff were helpful, friendly and fun. I couldn't imagine traveling Kenya and Africa with a better company!

THis trip was amazing and so much better than I thought it would be. The standard of accommodation, food , service & organization was exceptional. Highlights were the Nottens Bush Camp & staying on a houseboat on the Chobe River.

We spent just under 3 weeks visiting several parks in Kenya From the time we left Sydney everything went like clockwork - we were met and transported around by Southern Cross - the facilities were first class and the level of service second to none I would not hesitate to recommend bench to anyone - Kenya , what a fantastic destination , not commercialized - just down to earth people , amazing locations and fantastic memories
