25.01.2022 Few places in the world can sweep you off your feet as Tongabezi Lodge in Zambia (near Victoria Falls). The dining options alone are some of the most romantic settings you can hope to experience, with three open-air dining decks and a once-in-a-lifetime dining experience on a floating platform on the Zambezi River, where waiters deliver each delicious course by canoe ass you dine under an expanse of stars, with lanterns burning through the black of night. With incredible local chefs using ingredients from the onsite, organic garden brimming with fruit, veggies, and herbs, the traditional Zambian cuisine is all about seasonal and local ingredients.

18.01.2022 Bench has been working from home now for exactly a year - can you believe it? How time flies! It’s been a tough year for everyone, and those of us in the travel industry have had a bumpy journey to say the least... but we’re still dreaming and hoping, keeping our eyes firmly on the horizon and waiting for those pesky borders to open! (Only once it’s safe, of course). Bench is the oldest Africa travel specialist in Australia, celebrating our 52nd Birthday this week, so we gat...hered up some of the team in Sydney together to toast the occasion. What a treat! So, Happy Birthday Bench and here’s to another year! #togetherintravel

16.01.2022 Tread lightly on a walking safari... Mana Pools National Park, a World Heritage Site in Zimbabwe, is perfectly situated in the heart of a natural valley on a unique floodplain which boasts an abundance of wildlife and breath-taking scenery. Mana means 'four' in Shona, one of the main languages spoken in Zimbabwe and the name Mana Pools came about due to the four large permanent pools formed by the meanderings of the middle of the Zambezi River.... DARE TO DREAM!

Visit the Tsavo region of Kenya on with 7 days of guided 4x4 safari, complete with safari camp accommodation, game park fees, local drinks in camp and all meals! NOW with only a $300pp deposit, fully refundable 60+ days before dep...arture! If that doesn't get you dreaming, we don't know what will.

04.01.2022 If you and your young family are looking for authentic experiences and memories to last you a last time, all signs point to Africa. The combination of the continent’s magnificent semi-arid landscape, cultural immersion and the opportunity to witness Africa's Big Five make Africa the perfect Post-Covid family travel experience. And then there are simple moments like this one at Satao Camp. ... We can take you there!

03.01.2022 Africa changes you forever, like nowhere on earth. Once you have been there, you will never be the same. But how do you begin to describe its magic to someone who has never felt it? How can you explain the fascination of this vast, dusty continent, whose oldest roads are elephant paths?

02.01.2022 Africa is simply perfect for little adventurers with some amazing kids clubs set up in camps. An example is 'The Mongoose Club' at Governors Camp, in Kenya where activities are thoughtfully designed to be fun and informative, leaving them with lifetime memories. Parents can take some well-deserved timeout; enjoy a spa treatment, read a book or just have a siesta while Julius, a local Masai guide, and the rest of their friendly team keep your children entertained, whilst always ensuring their complete safety at all times.

She took the shot on the first day of her trip to Africa. She and her guide spotted two leopard brothers frolicking in the brush. Suddenly, they leapt onto a rock, and for just a few seconds, their bodies arched against the African sky, forming a circle of life in motion.
