Perfect short safari for nature lovers! - Samburu tour as a couple and have no regrets at all.. The landscape was dramatic and beautiful on the way. The guide was very careful for us – he showed us cheetah, Grevy's zebra, oryx, and even lions on the morning and afternoon game drives. Watching the sunset near the river felt like we had entered another world! Accommodation was a comfortable tented camp, the food was delicious in homemade style. The drive was a bit long (from Nairobi), but the guide made stops in between to enjoy the scenery. Value for money is amazing – not as crowded as Masai Mara, so you can see the wildlife closer. Thanks to the Bencia team, everything was perfectly organized. Next time I will take a longer tour with them!

Extraordinary wildlife and a fantastic guide (Joseph) - If you are looking for a quiet and less crowded safari, then the Samburu Safari is a great option. The 3 days passed very quickly. The landscape is varied and there is a chance to see rare wildlife. Our guide Joseph took great care of us throughout the trip. He made the safaris on time and explained each animal in simple terms. Both the vehicle and the accommodation were comfortable. Overall, we were very pleased with this safari with BENCIA AFRICA ADVENTURE & SAFARIS.

Reticulated Giraffe and Crocodiles of Ewaso Nyiro – Dream Trip with Bencia - I had the opportunity to go on a 3-day Samburu Safari organized by Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris Ltd from Nairobi last month. It was truly one of the most exciting trips of my life. Our guide was Joseph - a very experienced, patient and cheerful man. He explained the names, behavior, history of each animal and place so well that it seemed that we were not only on safari, but also deeply connected with the nature of Samburu.
When we reached the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River in the morning, the water of the river was glistening in the light of the sunrise and the reticulated giraffes were eating the leaves of the tree with long necks. Then I saw the Long-Necked Gerenuk - they seemed to pick up food from the high branches of the tree, it was amazing! Large crocodiles were basking in the sun along the river, and Joseph showed us everything from a safe distance.
Lunch was under the roof of the lodge - fresh fruit, hot bread, grilled meat and salad. Everything was so carefully prepared that the fatigue wore off in an instant. Game drive again in the afternoon - this time I saw elephants, zebras, oryx and a cheetah in the distance! At night, sitting by the campfire, Joseph talked about the culture of the Samburu tribe.
Accommodation was comfortable, clean and close to nature. Overall, the management of Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris Ltd. was perfect. It was a privilege to have a guide like Joseph. Samburu Safari is a must for those who love nature and wildlife.

A beautiful and peaceful safari trip - The 3-day Samburu Safari from Nairobi was a great experience for me. Everything was well organized by Bencia Africa. It was nice to see the pineapple fields and green villages on the way. Reached Samburu and saw the reticulated Giraffe, Gerenuk and Grevy's Zebra - absolutely real life National Geographic! It was very exciting to see crocodiles and elephants along the Ewaso Nyiro River. The view of the sunset behind the mountain in the evening is really touching. The guide was very friendly and explained everything with a smile.

A different safari experience - This 3-day Samburu Safari was a completely new experience for us. Starting the journey from Nairobi, the journey through the mountains of the north was thrilling. Tour planner gave all the information in advance. The entire vacation was flawlessly planned, so there was nothing to worry about. James, our guide, was fantastic; he was very patient with the animals and very knowledgeable. He showed us the reticulated Giraffe, the Gerenuk, and even the giant crocodile by the river! Both the food and the service were excellent.

Both the journey and the experience are amazing. 🚙 - The entire trip was very well planned. Although the drive from Nairobi to Samburu was a bit long, the guide stopped in the middle of the road and gave us a chance to enjoy the scenery. The Safarijeep was comfortable enough, and the large windows made it easy to take pictures. Every morning and afternoon game drive has been done, so that different animals can be seen at different times of the day. On the morning of the second day, we saw the lions lying in the shade of the trees in complete silence. I even saw some strange birds whose names I hadn't heard before. At the end of the whole trip, I felt that Samburu is really a hidden gem of Kenya, and I would never have understood it without this tour.

THREE-DAY SAMBURU SAFARI EXPERIENCE): - Our visit to Samburu was a unique experience. As we left the hustle and bustle of the city for northern Kenya, the scene changed. Although the roads were a bit rough, the guide was driving with great care. The famous reticulated giraffe was the first thing I saw when I arrived at the Samburu Reserve! Their design is very different. Then I saw the long-necked gerenuk walk right past our car. The most exciting was the Ewaso Nyiro River. There I saw huge crocodiles sleeping together. It was certainly a great opportunity to see nature up close outside the city.

3 days in the Wild Beauty Samburu: Discovering a Different Kenya. - Three days of adventure in the wild beauty of northern Kenya The most unique and special part of my visit to Kenya was the visit to Samburu. Starting from Nairobi and moving towards the north, the nature has become more rugged and dramatic. But the beauty here is different - I am surprised to see the reticulated giraffe and the long-necked gerenuk! Our guide, Philip, was excellent, explaining the behavior of each animal patiently. And what a strange feeling it is to see crocodiles sitting on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River! Bencia Africa introduces me to another Kenya - it's not just Masai Mara; Samburu is also a great destination.

an extraordinary experience of the amazing beauty and rare wildlife of northern Kenya.. - I took part in a 3-day Samburu Safari with Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris, and honestly, the experience was beyond our expectations. Our guide was very experienced and very well explained about the animals and the environment. We felt safe, comfortable, and well-organized throughout the trip. The Samburu region was quite different—much less crowded, more wild, and with a quietness of nature. It is a unique experience to get a chance to see special wildlife such as the reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, and Grevy's zebra. It was really fascinating to see crocodiles along the Ewaso Nyiro River and enjoy the sunset in that environment. I must say, if you want to taste the lesser-known but extremely rich nature and wildlife of Northern Kenya, then this 3-day Samburu Safari will be an excellent choice for you..
