"It could not have been better! All your arrangements worked like clock work with no hassles whatsoever. Both Okuti and Kanana lodges were outstanding, lovely rooms, good food, amazing service with wonderful and very pleasant staff from the guide to the room maid. It could not have been better! I can not fault anything and highly recommend the trip. I was able to see some wonderful wildlife, birds and animals. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and great company. Thanks so much for organising this wonderful adventure!"

"Back home from Africa and just wanted to let you know we had a fabulous trip and my grandson appreciated the whole experience immensely. As he was invariably the youngest person by far in any group or situation he enjoyed a lot of attention and being a young man in Africa was very popular with the local people. They treated him like a son which was very special to us.

Thank you for organising the trip so well and accommodating the changes we made to fine tune everything. Everything went absolutely perfectly to plan. Everybody was on time, nobody let us down, everybody was nice, helpful and friendly. Very stress free holiday which left us with energy to devote to things like waking at 5.30am for a game drive or quad biking for three hours on the dunes around Swakopmund.

On the food front we both came home with a few extra kilos. The food out of the camp kitchen at Chobe under Canvas was fantastic and would put a few other places with much more sophisticated facilities to shame. Thanks once again for organising such a wonderful holiday for us."

"We had the most wonderful holiday experience; one we'll never forget. Everyday was a new adventure, and we have no hesitation in recommending Bench Africa to our family and friends. Arrangements and pickups were always reliable and prompt. We appreciated the consideration and thoughtfulness of Bench when we had a slight hiccup in our travel plans in South Africa. Our holiday experience certainly exceeded our expectations!"
