  We really enjoyed this 7 day budget safari! Starting from Nairobi, walking to Hell's Gate on Lake Naivasha, seeing the Big Five in Masai Mara, flamingos and rhinos on Lake Nakuru, and a herd of elephants at sunrise in Amboseli with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background – everything was incredibly beautiful. The guide (Joseph) was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The daily game drives were never tiring. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable despite being on a budget. The food was homely and delicious, especially the picnic lunches. The transport was also good, 3 liters of water were provided daily. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone going on an African safari for the first time. Many thanks to the team at Bencia Africa Adventure! ❤️Show more

  It's been an incredible journey for us! From Nairobi to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli - the wildlife was amazing everywhere. Seeing flamingos and rhinos in Lake Nakuru, cheetahs and lion families in Masai Mara - all will be remembered forever. The highlight was a photo of elephants in front of Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli. The guide and driver were very helpful and knowledgeable, showing a lot in each game drive. As a budget safari, the accommodation and food were very good - homely feel, tasty Kenyan food. I'll be back againShow more

  I have completed Bencia's 7 Days Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Naivasha & Amboseli Budget Safari. Booking with Alfred was easy - he answered every email and call quickly, and even suggested the best photo spots for the season. Our driver-guide, Joseph, was outstanding: sharing interesting facts about wildlife, passion, animals, and Maasai culture, and spotting a leopard on a tree branch at sunset! The highlights were endless - huge herds of elephants in front of snow-capped Kilimanjaro in Amboseli, and white rhinos, hippos and birds in Lake Naivasha, and lions, cheetahs in the Mara Plains. The budget accommodation was well-maintained (good beds, clean facilities, power points) and the food was plentiful and delicious - breakfast buffet, packed lunch, and dinner barbecue under the stars. The group size was perfect for building friendships, and the pace was active but not exhausting. Bencia offers really good value - professional, fun and unforgettable.Show more

  The tour was very good, but I have to say that it was sometimes a bit chaotic due to different drivers. The order of my stops was decided shortly before departure. I was accompanied by a very nice and smart woman who was constantly in touch via WhatsApp. The hotels were all in very good condition and had friendly staff.Show more

  Starting from Nairobi this journey of seven days was an incredible experience. Both our guide and driver were very friendly and knowledgeable - thanks to them we got to see almost all of the Big Five at Masai Mara up close. The calm environment of the flamingos and Naivasha of Nakuru lake give a balanced look to the whole journey. Arriving at Amboseli, Kilimanjaro had a magical view of the sunset. Although a budget safari, each stay was clean, and the food was homely and delicious. In fact, this safari provides a rare opportunity to experience the beauty of Africa together.Show more

  Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris has given us a memorable trip. Every day of the week was exciting. It was a great surprise to see the zebra, cheetah, and elephant together at Masai Mara. Pelican, hippo, and boat trips on Lake Naivasha made our trip peaceful and relaxing. At sunrise in Amboseli, the elephants behind Kilimanjaro looked like they had emerged from a painting.Show more

  This seven-day trip was one of the best experiences of my life. One morning at Masai Mara, we saw a cheetah hunt - one that will always be remembered! The sight of rhinos in Lake Nakuru and the colorful spread wings of flamingos are still vivid in my mind. At the Lake Naivasha Country Club, I spent time just sitting by the lake and listening to the birds sing. In the end, Mount Kilimanjaro in the background of Amboseli and the herd of elephants in front - in a word, incomparable. Our guide Joseph was a very experienced and cheerful man. Thank you to the Benfica team!Show more

  Starting the New Year with one of the best experiences of my life - 7 days Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli Safari. The entire trip was organized by Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris, and from start to finish, everything was wonderfully planned. Seeing the Big Five at Masai Mara, flamingos and rhinos at Lake Nakuru, and quiet afternoons by the lake at Lake Naivasha Country Club - all add up to a heartwarming experience. In the end, seeing a group of elephants behind Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli was like a dream. Accommodation, food, and service were excellent. This trip will always be in my heart. For African safaris, Bencia can be trusted with your eyes closed.Show more

  I had a wonderful 7-day trip to Kenya. The tour started from Nairobi, then went around Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and finally Amboseli National Park. Every place was a different experience. Lake Naivasha was a peaceful paradise for me. We had the opportunity to stay at the Lake Naivasha Country Club, and to be honest, it was the perfect place to relax and unwind. Sitting on the bank of the lake, listening to the chirping of the birds, time seemed to have stopped. When I saw the pelicans and hippopotamuses so closely on the boat ride, it felt like I was in the middle of a documentary. Masai Mara was the highlight of the trip! I saw numerous lions, elephants, giraffes, and even cheetahs up close. Our guide was very knowledgeable and explained everything to us. The experience of seeing pink flamingos and rhinoceroses in Lake Nakuru was memorable. The last days were spent in Amboseli; the sight of elephants in the background of Kilimanjaro became a picture. The entire trip was of high quality - from the vehicle, guide, food, and accommodation. Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris organized the entire trip very efficiently.Show more

From the peaceful serenity of Lake Naivasha, where you could relax by the water and enjoy the birdlife, to the incredible wildlife encounters in Masai Mara, it sounds like you truly immersed yourself in the beauty of Kenya’s diverse landscapes and wildlife. The close-up views of pelicans and hippopotamuses on the boat ride must have been magical, and we’re so glad you had the chance to enjoy that unique experience. Masai Mara is indeed a highlight, and we're thrilled you had the opportunity to see so many iconic animals up close, from lions to cheetahs. It’s fantastic to know that your guide’s knowledge and explanations made the experience even more enriching.

Amboseli’s iconic backdrop with elephants and the mighty Kilimanjaro is truly one of the most stunning sights, and we’re so glad you captured that magic. We’re also pleased to hear that the entire trip — from the vehicle, food, accommodations, and organization — exceeded your expectations.
