EXCELLENT Based on 125 reviews Posted on Lisa J28 February 2026Verified Begeistertert! Wir haben im Februar eine einwöchige Safari mit Bensons gemacht und sind hoch zufrieden! Die Safari hat all unsere Erwartungen übertroffen, wir haben alle dort vorkommenden größeren Tierarten gesehen und viel über die Tiere, die Natur und deren Schutz in den Nationalparks gelernt. Dabei geht ein großes Dankeschön an Simba, unseren hervorragenden Guide! Er wusste unglaublich viel und hat all unsere vielen Fragen geduldig und mit viel Hintergrundwissen und Erfahrung beantwortet. Auch die Lodges waren ausnahmslos super, mitten drin in der Natur, alle mit wlan, Heißwasser, Moskitonetzen in Mückengebieten und bequemen Betten. Das Personal war sehr bemüht und meist gab es abwechslungsreiche Buffets. Unsere Tour beinhaltete die Nationalparks Tarangire, Ndutu, offene Serengeti und den Ngorongoro-Krater. Alles sehr zu empfehlen, Bensons hat uns eine super Route zusammengestellt und all unsere Wünsche möglich gemacht. Ganz vielen Dank, wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!!
