  Bike to Hell's Gate to see zebras and impalas up close, then take a boat ride to Lake Naivasha to see hippos - it was all amazing. We're so excited to see the White Rhino at Lake Nakuru's Game Drive! The guide was very knowledgeable and helpful, both the car and the accommodation were comfortable. And the food was pretty good too. Small trip but completely filled with safari. It's easy to bring the family. Thank you so much Bencia Africa Adventure. Of course I'll be back!Show more

  Absolutely fantastic short safari! We did this 2-day trip as a family with kids and it exceeded all our expectations. Cycling through Hell's Gate with zebras and impalas running right beside us was such a unique and thrilling experience – completely different from the usual jeep safaris. The guide was knowledgeable, patient, and made sure everyone felt safe. Lake Nakuru game drive the next day was incredible – we saw white rhinos, lots of flamingos, and many other animals. Accommodation was comfortable, food was tasty and fresh, and the whole organization was smooth from pickup in Nairobi to drop-off. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a quick but memorable Kenyan wildlife adventure!Show more

  I was very excited since I booked this tour and it was actually much better than I expected. We started our journey from Nairobi in a very comfortable car. The first day we went to **Hell's Gate National Park**. It was a great experience to get out of the car and ride a bike. Cycling through high mountains and wild animals on both sides of the road is really exciting. The natural scenery was spectacular. Then we went to **Crescent Island**. The boat ride was beautiful as well. We walked instead of the car. I got a chance to get up close and take pictures of giraffes, zebras and different deer, which is not possible in any other national park. The guide explained everything to us. The next day we went to **Lake Nakuru National Park**. We saw a lot of *flamingos* here, the whole lake turned pink. Our guide was very efficient, he showed us the *White Rhino* and the *Horned Rhino* that were very close to the car. We also saw *baboons* and *wild boars*. The hotel was very clean and the food was excellent. I would like to recommend this tour to everyone.Show more

  Our family and I took a two-day private vacation. The team at Bencia Africa Adventure and Safaris is truly amazing. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly - while cycling at Hell's Gate, I met giraffes, zebras and warthogs up close, I saw hot springs and felt like I was on another planet! After a boat ride in Lake Naivasha, seeing hippos and birds, then seeing rhinos in Lake Nakuru filled my heart. The food was good, the lodge comfortable, and best of all was the patience of the guide and finding the photo spot. Completely organized, timely and safe. I want more adventures like this!Show more

  I've been on safari many times, but this experience in Hell's Gate National Park was completely different. Where we usually see animals in a jeep, we cycled through chameleon-colored mountains, gurgling gorges, and open nature trails. Zebras and impalas walked side by side - as if they were walking with us! During the boat ride on Lake Naivasha, we saw hippos from close quarters, and the chorus of white herons and mallards seemed to create a strange calm. Lake Nakuru was the final destination of the trip - there were rows of giant flamingos, and we were lucky enough to see two white rhinos. All in all, this two-day trip gave me a new insight into the beauty of nature and the speed of life. The trip was organized by Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris.Show more

  My entire safari experience with Bencia Africa was nothing short of amazing. Everything was so well planned that we just had a good time. On the first day, we had a beautiful picnic lunch set up in the open savannah. The open sky, the serene surroundings and the vast green fields in front - the experience was like a dream. The three of us were very excited, and the food was clean and modest. The atmosphere is like taking a picture - the design of the clouds in the sky, the view of the savannah behind. The most memorable moment was at Lake Nakuru National Park, when a mother rhinoceros and her baby were slowly crossing the road in front of our jeep. I've only seen moments like this on TV-now it's right before my eyes! The guide kept us at a safe distance and explained everything very patiently. I also saw many antelopes, zebras, and many birds. Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris has made the whole trip a unique experience for us. If you want to get lost in nature, see from the animals, and alsowant a little comfort and care, then this company may be helpful for you.Show more

  During the boat trip to Lake Naivasha, we saw the hippos up close - a little scared, but all was well because of the experienced guide Ben. The roaring cliffs and wide wilderness of Hell's Gate, and the deer and flamingos in Lake Nakuru the next day, made me feel like I had opened the pages of a picture book. These two days helped me to realize the beauty of life in a new way.Show more

  I have rarely had a trip that was so perfect and fulfilling. We started from Nairobi and first went to Hell's Gate National Park. Our guide was very sincere in explaining everything along the way - about nature, animals, and local culture. I got a chance to bike ride and hike in Hell's Gate Park, which was a completely different experience. The high mountains around, the roaring gorges, and the occasional sight of wild animals - it was truly beautiful! Then Lake Naivasha - the boat trip there was simply amazing. As we moved forward on the waterway, I saw hippopotamuses up close. The different calls of birds and the touch of the wind made the mind even more peaceful. The second day of the trip was Lake Nakuru National Park. We left in the morning and arrived right on time. The experience that day was truly unparalleled - on one side there were countless flamingos, and on the other our jeep was moving slowly, and we got to see giraffes, zebras, gazelles, and even a pair of white rhinos up close! At one point a lion walked right past our jeep - a moment I will remember forever. In terms of accommodation, everything was of a very high standard. The food was delicious, with local flavors as well as international options. Our guide and driver were very professional, friendly, and always ready to ensure safety. This short two-day trip will remain in my memory forever. If you love nature and want to have a great experience in a short time, then this tour is definitely suitable. I am looking forward to going again!Show more

  All of this was really great! All of this was really great! Starting the journey from Nairobi, visiting Hell's Gate and Lake Nakuru National Park, every moment was thrilling and amazing. The breathtaking scenery and cycling experience at Hell's Gate National Park was quite different. It is indeed a rare experience to see wild animals on high cliffs, hot springs, and open wilderness. Then a flock of thousands of flamingos and the movement of rhinos in Lake Nakuru was a sight to behold. The 4x4 Land Cruiser Jeep was undoubtedly the best for the game drive, giving us a great travel experience. Night camping was also great—the sky-high stars and the tranquility of nature made the whole experience even more exciting. All in all, it was a great trip! This is definitely an ideal trip for those who love adventure travel in the midst of nature and wildlife.Show more

  I couldn't have hoped for a better experience as a low-budget visitor. Under the direction of the passionate guide Joseph French, Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris organized a fantastic camping safari. It was a wonderful experience to explore Masai Mara in a 4x4 Land Cruiser Jeep and sleep under the stars in well-maintained campsites. George, our cook, made excellent dinners, and everything was perfectly organized. Strongly advised for travelers on a tight budget!Show more
