Rare Wildlife and Incredible Safari Moments - We are very satisfied with this 3-day Samburu Safari. After starting my journey from Nairobi and reaching Samburu National Reserve, I felt like going to another world. I was fascinated by reticulated giraffes, Grévy's zebras and gerenukes - they are rarely seen in other parks. The knowledge and patience of the guide was amazing, he explained the behavior and characteristics of each animal very nicely... The game drive along the Ewaso Nyiro River and the sunset are truly unforgettable. Accommodation was comfortable and the food was good. Due to less crowd, I was able to get closer to the wild animals. This is an excellent option for those who want a quiet and secluded experience.

Unique Safari Beyond the Crowds - Three-day Samburu Safari with Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris was absolutely amazing! We left Nairobi in the morning and reached Samburu in the afternoon. The driver was very professional and safe.
As soon as we entered the reserve, we were fascinated by the unique landscape and rare species of wildlife. We saw reticulated Giraffe, Gerenuk, Grevy's Zebra and Somali ostrich - which are rarely seen in other parks. Game drives along the Ewaso Nyiro River were magical, especially on Sunset Drive, it was beautiful to see crocodiles and elephants drinking water....
Our guide was very knowledgeable, patient and helped to take great pictures. Atmosphere was great, food was good and service was excellent. All went very well from start to finish. Highly recommended for those who want a different kind of safari to avoid the crowds!

Kenya Safari experience in Samburu - We had a great game drive experience at the Samburu National Reserve, especially the drive in the morning of the last day. We saw lions, elephants and crocodiles near the river.
The cultural visit to Samburu village was the most fun part for the children. They were happy to interact with the local people and learn about their way of life and culture.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and knowledgeable. He explained in detail some of the special animals of Samburu National Reserve such as Reticulated Giraffe, Grevy's Zebra and Gerenuk.
The food and accommodation at Samburu Lodge was very good. The long journey from Nairobi to Samburu was a little tiring, but our guide made the journey much more enjoyable by stopping at different places from time to time.

From Nairobi to Samburu: an unforgettable safari trip with friends. - My three best friends and I booked this 3-day Samburu safari from Nairobi with Bencia Africa Adventures, and wow – it was the trip of a lifetime! We were a bit worried about the long drive, but our guide Joseph made it a fun road trip with stops for photos, pineapple fields and epic stories about life in Kenya.
Samburu National Reserve is unreal – less crowded than Masai Mara, so we got super close to net giraffes (those patterns are insane!), Grevy's zebras, gerenuks doing their strange neck poses, a whole pride of lions chilling, elephants by the river, and even crocodiles sunbathing. We screamed like children every time we saw something new! Afternoon safari rides with a golden sunset at the Ewaso Nyiro River – we just sat there with beers (well, soda for some), smiling and taking a million pictures.
The tent camp was comfortable and felt like glamping – hot showers, great food (freshly grilled meat, vegetables, and that Kenyan chai tasted different), and evenings around the campfire sharing jokes and Samburu warrior stories of Joseph. No drama, just pure vibes and bonding. If you're planning a friends' trip and want something adventurous yet relaxing, this is it. 100% recommend to any group – thank you Joseph and the Bencia team for making our memories epic!

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.
