What our customers say
2025 Kenya ladies tour was an amazing experience, highly recommend this tour to anyone thinking of a once in a lifetime journey. Opportunities to travel with like minded strong women with intrepid spirits and a great sense of fun & adventure. Our guide and driver were incredibly knowledgeable as we bombarded them with questions. The animal safaris were life changing, observing them in their own environment and discussing the ways to preserve these habitates for these magnificent creatures, going forward. Our group were accomdated in some extraordinary tents and cabins, while the hospitality of the people was priceless Thankyou Bench, Southern Cross tours and importantly the diverse and generous "ladies" on tour, you made this tour so memorable
Suzanne Langford
The Kenya ladies only tour was excellent in every way. Accommodation, animal watching safaris, food, service were all of a very high standard. Operated by Southern Cross Safaris, they have touring down to a fine art. Our lady guide and driver ensured that we were kept safe and well informed. The days were mostly taken up with game viewing but there was some leisure time as well as shopping.
Estelle Hobbins
I loved it!! We were on the go everyday, which i loved. The accommodation was way more than i expected, beautiful, comfortable and the views i had, especially of Kilimanjaro, were spectacular. I had to pinch myself everyday that i was in Kenya! I had many 'moments' where i was overwhelmed with emotion, seeing a male lion, or lionesses eating a kill or a Cheetah family, a thrill that nothing compares. The Kenyan/Maasai people are the most hospitable, beautiful people I have EVER encountered in all my trips overseas and in Australia. The culture so different, yet speaking to the women, we have the same ideas and issues all over the world, which is a valuable, soulsister connection we share. The Maasai Mara was INCREDIBLE, wildlife was in abundance as was the other places we visited. Everywhere we visited was a highlight, yet Navaisha is so beautiful, however we spent one night, but it truly deserves to be a 2 night stay to take in and enjoy the grounds, the roaming giraffe, zebra, antelope, monkeys etc. and get some awesome photos of up close wildlife. Our guide Pesh, is an excellent knowledgable guide. With an friendly, caring outgoing nature, who can deal with diverse personalities, age and medical issues that may arise. Awesome woman. We had fantastic drivers, Sammy and Steve(now known as Stevo lol). Their knowledge of locations and wildlife knows no bounds, fun facts and the driving skills are incredible!! I met some lovely ladies and a couple i now consider friends, a privilege to have met them. Question is, would i go on another tour with BenchAfrica? Yes, i most definitely would, and so should you.
