Bench International has been introducing Australians to the magic of Africa for over 40 years. Since 1969 Bench has concentrated almost exclusively on showing thousandsof Australians the wonder and variety of stunning wildlife, scenery and the uniqueness of cultures across Africa. In southern Africa, we continue to introduce new experiences in the deserts of Namibia, the waterways of Botswana and the diversity of South Africa, as well as that of Zimbabwe, Zambia, Madagascar and Mozambique. In the East African nations of Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda we offer the phenomena of the animal migration, the mountain gorillas and the opportunity to scale to the summit of Africa’s highest mountain, Mt Kilimanjaro.
