What our customers say

Trustpilot

Bench Africa put together a great itinerary for our land travels after departing a cruise in Cape Town. The V & A hotel in Cape Town was beautiful and in a great location close to shops and lots of street music and nice cafes. Our safari in Chisomo Private Game Reserve on the outskirts of Kruger National Park was terrific. We saw so many animals. All the Big 5 and lots more. We were collected one morning for a day in Kruger which also brought viewings of the Big 5 and many more animals and birds. We were particularly happy that Bench arranged a trip into the Blyde Canyon, one of the largest in the world and amongst the most magnificent mountains. We were the last tourists to go into the canyon as it was about to close for 3 months while a TV series was being filmed. All our arrangements went like clockwork. We were met and looked after by the loveliest people everywhere we travelled. Chris & John
