Reviews
THE HOLIDAY OF A LIFETIME
The lodges were all perfectly chosen to give us a great cross section of terrain & animals. All our accommodation was luxurious & extremely comfortable. The food was great & the staff at every single lodge was beyond outstanding. All transfers were seamless & made easy. Lots of wonderful surprises along the way too, like breakfast in the trees. If you have one trip in your lifetime, this is the one.
Jenny Talbot Destination: BotswanaThank you Lyndal
Thank you Lyndal - you gave us the perfect holiday with all your suggestions & recommendations. Loved the accommodation superb in four locations - transfers all worked well giving you the experience to remember for life. Thoroughly recommend Bench for a brilliant tailor-made holiday.
Carolyn TalbotBench Africa Awesome!
We used Bench Africa for our first trip to Africa, travelling to South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mauritius. Everything was taken care of by our travel consultant, transfers, accomodation, extra activities at Vic Falls. The personal knowledge our consultant had was integral to planning our trip and we had the best experience at Pom Pom Camp in the Okavango Delta as she said we would. I can’t thank them enough for ensuring our once in a lifetime trip was just perfect. Thank you
