Four Days of Big Five and Beautiful Landscapes - On a 4-day trip to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru. I've seen all of the Big Five at Masai Mara, especially a Pride of the Lions close-up. I was fascinated by the huge flock of flamingos and rhinos in Lake Nakuru. While going on boat safari in Lake Naivasha I saw a marvellous sight of hippos and birds. Private guide James was very experienced and helpful - every morning he would tell in advance which areas would be good for sightseeing. We stayed at the Luxury Camp - the tents were comfortable, the food was excellent and the service was top class. I also added a hot air balloon ride, which is the highlight of the entire trip. Everything was beautifully organized. I would certainly recommend it!

Excellent.... - Everything was perfect from the first day. Our guide, David, was a prodigy - finding big cats (lions, cheetahs), elephants, giraffes, hippos, and many other animals before they were even seen. The game drives in Masai Mara were like a dream. I've been there twice in the morning and I've always found something new. Hippos and birds have been seen very closely on a boat ride in Lake Naivasha. I was fascinated by the rhinos and flamingos in Lake Nakuru. Accommodations were comfortable, the food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The first time I went on a safari in Africa, I had no problems. Those who are going to Kenya, definitely do this tour. It's highly recommended!

Masai Mara Magic and Lake Nakuru Wonders - Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, and Lake Nakuru safari were the best part of our entire trip to Kenya. Everything was beautifully arranged from the time our guide took us from Nairobi. The first two days at Masai Mara were magical. We've seen the Big Five more than once — lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos and bison. Savannah turned golden in the sunlight on the morning game drive. Thousands of flamingos in Lake Nakuru looked like the entire lake had turned pink. White rhinos and giraffes were also seen. The boat ride on Lake Naivasha was very calm and beautiful. I saw the hippo up close and saw many beautiful birds. The accommodations were comfortable, the food was fresh and tasty. Our guide was very knowledgeable, patient and always helpful with binoculars. The car was also clean and suitable for photography. I highly recommend this tour for those who want to go on a safari in Kenya. Every penny has been recovered. I still miss Kenya!

Absolutely unforgettable wildlife adventure! - Exceeded all our expectations! Everything was perfectly organised from the moment we were picked up in Nairobi. The first day at Lake Nakuru was magical – thousands of flamingos turned the lake pink, plus we saw rhinos, lions in trees, and giraffes up close! The next day the boat ride on Lake Naivasha was peaceful and we got to see hippos up close, and even walked among zebras and giraffes on Crescent Island. But the biggest highlight was the full day in the Masai Mara – we saw the Big Five in a matter of hours! Lions with cubs, cheetahs hunting, elephants crossing rivers, and even leopards in trees! Our guides were fantastic – knowledgeable, patient and always found the best photo spots. The accommodation was comfortable (tented camp with great views), the food was delicious and varied, and the 4x4 drive was comfortable. Great value for money and the best way to see the diversity of Kenyan wildlife in just 4 days.

A Perfectly Balanced Safari with Wildlife, Lakes, and Relaxation - This 4-day safari was the most fulfilling part of my trip to Kenya. Bencia Africa arranged the whole trip very nicely from the beginning. Our private guide patiently manages each game drive. On the very first day in Masai Mara National Reserve, the lions and elephants were seen, and the sunset in the middle of the huge meadow was incredible. The highlight of the last day was the sighting of flamingos and rhinoceros in Lake Nakuru. I chose the standard lodge, but there was no shortage of comfort and food.

Three different forms of Africa in one trip - On this 4-day safari, we saw three different forms of Africa: the vast savanna of Masai Mara, the tranquil cruises of Lake Naivasha and the brilliant bird shows of Lake Nakuru. They were all spectacular. The guide was very professional and always made sure we arrived safely and on time at each destination. We also participated in the hot air balloon safari: the sunrise over Masai Mara was magical, in a nutshell. Our accommodations were spotless and the food was varied and fresh. This trip was not only a safari for us, but also an unforgettable memory.

An amazing safari experience in three parks in 4 days - As we first enter the Masai Mara National Reserve, we see huge herds of lions, elephants, zebras, and wildebeest. The guide was very knowledgeable and sincere, he told in detail about the lifestyle of each animal. On the second day we were very happy to see hippos and different species of birds in the boat ride on Lake Naivasha. On Lake Nakuru, we were further enriched by the sight of rhinos and flamingos resting under the trees. It's truly amazing to have such a diverse experience visiting three different parks in a short period of time.

Masai Mara to Lake Nakuru - An Unforgettable 4-Day Safari - Our 4-day Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, and Lake Nakuru Safari was truly amazing. From the beginning, Alfred planned everything very well - from the hotel booking to the jeep to the food. Our guide, Timothy, was very knowledgeable and friendly. In Masai Mara, we saw a whole pride of lions, leopards, and numerous giraffes up close. Then during the boat ride on Lake Naivasha, hippos and numerous birds were seen, which was great. And the experience of seeing pink flamingos and rhinoceros in Lake Nakuru is truly unforgettable. Four days went by in the blink of an eye, but it felt like one of the best moments of my life.

Great plan and incredible animal sightings. - From the airport to the pickup, payment, and the whole trip, it was very well organized by the Bencia Safaris team. Our guide Edwin and driver Joseph were excellent - I enjoyed the whole safari a lot because of them. Thanks to Joseph's great instinct, we reached the place where the wildebeest were crossing the Mara River - a moment that will be remembered for life. The hotel was clean and comfortable, and the planning was on time. The Maasai Village tour was an extra pleasant surprise.

A 4-day dreamy trip amidst nature - When I saw the lion and the elephant together in Masai Mara, I couldn't hold back my tears. Our guide was very knowledgeable and always had a good time. Seeing numerous flamingos and rhinos in Lake Nakuru was a completely different experience. And seeing the hippo so closely during the boat ride in Lake Naivasha, it is shocking to think. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, and the food was very good. Every moment of the entire trip was planned and sweet.
