Unforgetable Holiday
My husband and I have recently been on holidays in Africa first embarking on where to go and what to do I contacted Bench International and was helped greatly by Steph one of their consultants.The holiday we planned together was fantastic, We arrived in Nairobi and was greeted by our guide for the week Kevin , he had a wide knowledge of the people, country and animals and was the nicest man you would every meet we were very sad having to say goodbye. Places we visited was Naivasha and Masai Mara ( Kenya)
The accommodation was perfect and the wildlife we encountered was something we will never forget. I would highly recommend anyone thinking about holidaying in Africa and want everything looked after this is the company to do it for you.
