What other travellers have to say about BenefacTours

I had a wonderful time in Uganda. I never thought that the people there would be so benevolent to me and my family since we were different, but they looked at us like we were their long time friends and treated us with the utmost respect. I think that when I was there, a smile was never absent from my face, excluding when I was sleeping. Not only were the people, for lack of a better word, divine, but the scenery and area we were in was astounding and left me in awe because as soon as I got there I felt at home. All in all, my trip to Uganda was the best experience I have had in my life and probably will ever have, until I return.

I just wanted to say many thanks for letting me know Flomina center and also to pass to you many many greetings from them especially Florence. She is a woman whose energy and will I can't measure with anyone I have met yet! She is simply great!
I was at the center today for the first time and it was just amazing! I will try in whatever little way I can to support her and the center as a whole.  I just promised myself to be going there occasionally.  I just could not believe that what exactly you wrote on the website is the exact thing on the ground.....I am so grateful for letting me know this wonderful woman! She is just amazing.

Our trip with Cynthia to Kenya and Uganda was unforgettable.  We saw the most breathtaking sights-cheetahs, hippos, Maasai warriors, a lilac breasted roller (the most beautiful bird that you ever did see!) to name only a few. It was amazing to see her connect with the orphaned children who called her, in their darling little accents, "Sin-see-ya". I'll never forget her teaching them and singing so lovingly and gently the Beatles song "All You Need is Love". She was always prepared for anything (as evidenced by her elaborate first aid kit).  It was comforting to be in the care of such an experienced and global traveller; before I plan my next trip I know exactly who I’ll consult...

My trip to Africa will last me a lifetime. To be able to travel with someone as knowledgeable as Cynthia, made my trip even more wonderful.  We experienced a three day safari, which was out of this world, in the Maasai Mara. With Cynthia's friendliness and her experience from her world travels, we were able to get, for a great price, a driver and mini van (in great condition) to drive from  Nairobi, Kenya to Jinga, Uganda. That was a great experience for the teens and myself.  We saw sooo much, baboons by the roadside, and children greeting us so warmly. The tiny towns we drove through made me think about Vancouver and how amazing Canada is to live in. There is so much to tell in such a small amount of time. The village in Uganda was so friendly, the people were amazing. They asked nothing from us but gave us so much, dinner, lunch, always a friendly greeting; it truly was amazing. I didn't know what to expect, I knew I would see hardships, children with no shoes, hardly any clothes, but these children all seemed so happy, their smiles were enormous.
Cynthia made my trip! If it wasn't for her personal approach, her tenderness towards the village, her knowledge of the country, my trip would not have been so fulfilling. I am truly grateful that I was able to experience Africa with Cynthia. I would go again in a second; if the opportunity was there I would not hesitate.
