Travel is best shared with like-minded companions, especially when exploring a country with incredible landscapes and rich cultures like Kenya. Our Ladies-Only Safari provides a unique blend of wildlife, cultural experiences, and unforgettable moments designed for women seeking connection and enriching experiences.

Our most recent ladies safari headed out in June, and it was a roaring success! Every day was action-packed, from the iconic views of Kilimanjaro in Amboseli to the stunning wildlife and giant elephant herds in Tsavo East and West! Highlights included bead-making with the Maasai tribeswomen, mastering the art of traditional Swahili cuisine, and exploring the Masai Mara's rich wildlife.

Sue, who joined us on the safari, shared her experience: "I met some lovely ladies and a couple I now consider friends. Would I go on another tour with Bench Africa? Yes, I definitely would, and so should you."
