I travelled in May with Bench to …
I travelled in May with Bench to Victoria Falls and Hwange National Park. The trip was perfectly planned, full of animal sightings and unforgettable. The staff and drivers were so knowledgable and fun while still making sure we were safe. We stayed at the Zambezi Sands River Camp and also Gorges Lodge in Victoria Falls. In Hwange National Park we stayed Camelthorn, Bomani and Nehimba Lodges. While the whole experience and all of the lodges were incredible, I would definitely recommend Nehimba, where you get up close with the animals while still at the lodge. If you have the chance to do the walking safari you will not be disappointed.
Meagan HallidayExceptionally efficient, professional and helpful.
We had a trip organised by Stephanie Osorio and found her very helpful and friendly. Everything planned went smoothly which added to our enjoyment of the trip. The end itinerary package was just amazing, something to keep and show friends. I will most certainly recommend Bench International and intend to have another trip organised in the future together with friends.

The best holiday ever.
We would thoroughly recommend Bench.
Kapama: great accommodation & food, lots of animals
Zambezi Sands: great location, friendly staff, great canoe ride with hippos
Camelthorn: enjoyed elephant train, great location, friendly staff, amazing game viewing especially from Hide
Kuzuma: absolutely amazing, great food & accommodation, heaps of elephants, included day trip to Chobe National Park.(July not a good time to go to see other wildlife because of long grasses)
Cape Town: in hindsight should have done first, not last
Well organised, classy, memorable and worth every cent paid.
Everything worked like clockwork. With the exception of one meeting, all pick-ups were on time and all drivers pleasant and helpful.
The accommodation was unusual and superb and the hosts and staff at both Camp Kuzuma and Zambezi Sands, welcoming and thoroughly professional.
With the exception of the processing at Vic Falls and Joburg airports, we could not be happier with the whole experience.
The only serious recommendation I would make is, don't exit Zimbabwe then South Africa on the same day. The passenger processing in both countries is third world standard and EXTREMELY slow and disorganised.
We had to go through the diplomats gate to get to our luggage in Jo'burg. We would otherwise, still be there.
