Our first excellent 12 day safari in Kenya and Tanzania
We arranged our first ever safari with Robert at Blends of Africa. We received 8 quotes from other safari companies and although some were bigger companies we followed our instincts and went with Blends and we did not regret it. Blends of Africa is a small company so we were a bit hesitant to book with them at first as we were worried about the itinerary, our payments, the security, the experience etc. It turned out that we didn’t need to worry as Robert and his team did an exemplary job. Robert responded promptly to all queries and provided us with different options so that we could build a custom-made safari that would work best for the 2 of us. Robert provided a detailed listing of all the costs and charges and made any modifications as we requested. He was prompt, professional and open to hearing any concerns. The company did everything it had promised in the original planning and the pricing was fair. Even throughout the safari, Robert checked in to ensure everything was going smoothly.
In the 12 days we visited 3 national parks in Kenya, Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. For this segment, Alfred (Fred) was our guide and he was excellent and did his best to spot all the wildlife he could for us. In the first 24 hours, we saw 4 of the big 5 including the rare black rhinos in Masai Mara. We saw a large family of cheetahs and many lions in different environments. As well, we saw many of the endangered Rothchild’s giraffes and white rhinos. Alfred was knowledgeable and his driving skills were superb given the difficult road conditions.
Next, we crossed the border into Tanzania for the last 7 days where we met our guide, Hassan. We visited Central Serengeti, Southern Serengeti, Ndutu Region, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Lake Tarangire. Hassan was an excellent guide. He was professional, very knowledgeable and kind. On top of that, he had excellent driving skills. He was always prepared to go every day at the time set and always had the jeep looking clean and professional. His keen eyes helped us spot things we would have never noticed on our own including a leopard, the recent carcass hanging in a tree ready for the leopard to come back to feast on, an attempted takedown by a group of Massai herding dogs on a baby gazelle and several lions climbing trees, just to name a few. It was amazing. Hassan’s knowledge of different bird species also was especially enlightening. He had a small selection of books he referred to if it was a species he was unsure of.
All in all, these drivers get the jeeps in and out of places you wouldn’t think possible. On the dodgiest of roads, we felt extremely safe in their capable hands. They are knowledgeable and professional and kind human beings. My spouse really enjoys photography and would often make requests for the drivers to stop or move forward or back a few feet so he could get a better composition. Both drivers accommodated his request to perfection and there were hundreds of these requests.
Thanks to the team at Blends of Africa we ended up having an excellent adventure. We ended up seeing all of the Big 5 and all the Ugly 5 as well as hundreds of other wildlife and birds etc. We got to understand the history and the ecosystem of these fabulous Kenyan and Tanzanian parks. And the people, they are phenomenal and some of our experiences at the lodges were superb. The crew at the Drunken Elephant in Masai Mara and the crew at the Osinon Camp in Central Serengeti, were especially amazing. Thank you. To our new found African friends, Mike and I say “Assante sana”.

A wonderful experience
We are just back from an amazing 11 day trip through Kenia and Tanzania with Blends of Africa. Overall we have had a wonderful trip. Months before I started with my search for this trip and I compared several companies here. I asked for around 6 price quotes. Blends was the only company that gave us a detailed quote instead of just a price. So I decided to to choose for them. I had contact with Mary from the office. She is wonderful. Together we customised the trip exactly as we would like to have it and meanwhile she gave us a lot of useful information.
The safari itself was wonderful. We stayed in beautiful camps (some I picked my self). The guides were very nice as well. The Kenia guide was slightly less experienced but after bringing this up Mary immediately took action for the 2th part our Tanzania safari. The Tanzania Guide Ledgar was wonderful and we had a nice click with him. He is very experienced and showed us wonderful things.
The only thing that you should keep in mind is that the roads are bad and take sometimes more time then suggested but well this is Africa and also a part of the experience. The only thing I would do different is to choose the camps or lodgings close or even in the parks. The animals are most active during the early morning hours or late afternoon hours and it is a pitty if the park entrance is 1-1,5 hrs driving because then you miss partly the best time of the day. But still we have seen a lot and we are the company very grateful for a wonderful experience.
Thank you so much Blends of Africa.
It was perfect and interesting
Our experience with Blends of Africa during our trip to Amboseli national park was exceptional great. We stayed at a very affordable and beautiful hotel known as Oilepo where we had a great stay it also offered a stunning view of Mount Kilimanjaro and great service.Our guide Alex was an expert in the parks wildlife and landscape ensuring we didn't miss any key sights .the game drive was well timed and we had plenty of opportunities to spot elephants ,giraffes and at some point we saw a lion. Overall Blends of Africa provided a memorable adventure for me and my family and I highly recommend their services to anyone planning a trip to amboseli or any other park in kenya.
Awesome
We were local tourists. My wife and kids, and extended family. They picked us up from home on time, the driver knows his thing very well. Very knowledgeable indeed. He's fan and not boring. We were very comfortable with him. The whole trip was something we'll never forget. I recommend them over and over again.
