Destinations
WELCOME
For 41 years Bench International has set the pace in taking Australians on holiday to Africa. Tens of thousands of travellers have experienced the range of superb wildlife, stunning scenery and fascinating cultures that we have turned into experiences which more often than not provoke a second or third visit.
Such is the diversity of Africa that multiple visits become somewhat commonplace as first time visits to South Africa or Kenya turn into magnets drawing travellers to other fascinating destinations - the tranquility of the Okavango Delta in Botswana, the desert wildlife of Namibia, the majestic Victoria Falls on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe , the wildebeest migration of Kenya and Tanzania or the archaeological wonders of Egypt.
All the traditionally popular destinations and properties favoured by Bench International clients are still available but we have some new activities in South Africa, Botswana, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
Options include the Swahili culture and beach resorts of Zanzibar , Lamu off the coast of Kenya, the historic Portuguese background of Mozambique, the soaring beauty of Mt Kilimanjaro, the fabled gorillas of Rwanda and Uganda and the mixed cultures of nearby islands like Madagascar and Mauritius.
All are destinations with which Bench International is universally linked as the specialists in travel to Africa.
For those travellers seeking a luxurious experience in Africa, Bench International's Connoisseur Collection illustrates destinations, hotels, lodges and camps which are quite unique in themselves and blend style, convenience and sophistication into a memorable African safari experience , allowing travellers to pick and choose a variety of destinations and accommodations and blend them into a tailor-made itinerary.
By using the unique skills of our specially-trained consultants whose knowledge is explicitly attuned to Africa we can make your trip the journey of a lifetime.
We look forward to helping you plan your African safari.
