Bakari was confident and experienced; we always felt safe and cared for, and he surprised us a lot!
Value for the money: exceeded expectations! We had high expectations for this trip and we were blown away by the experience! What we experienced was easily worth more.
Communications and service: most of the communications were good, except they didn’t describe well what we would need for camping. For example, we were told that all we needed for camping equipment would be provided, but in reality there was no toilet paper at the camp grounds, no pillows, no rags or towels, no soap or shampoo, and sleeping bags weren’t tracked each camp sight so we ended up using the bag of someone else the second night.
Also, there were only cold showers, which is a problem of the camp grounds (not the tour company) but they did not prepare us for that.
Reliability: they were VERY on time and I felt they were completely reliable with how/when/where things would happen. We also felt safe the whole time.
Tour itself: Trip of a Lifetime! It wasn’t luxurious, but it was safe,... Read more fun, with an easy atmosphere, friendly, and there was a sense of adventure the whole time. Bakari was very accommodating based on everyone’s interests and needs. He was an expert at spotting animals, some so far away that we couldn’t even see them with binoculars until he brought us up close to them. We got very close to all of the big 5 except a leopard, and we got very close to many other animals.
We would EASILY use this tour company, and especially the tour guide, Bakari, again.

Dedicated to making us feel safe and made sure we had the best time!
We took this tour expecting to see a few animals from far away but were surprised with how many animals we saw and how close we were able to get to them! Our tour guide, Elias, knew so much about all the animals. We asked so many questions and he was able to answer all of them. He also knew the best routes and made sure we saw as many animals as we could. We felt very safe the entire time. Our chef, Silma, made the best food. Every time we ate there was something different. Fish, pizza, rice, pasta, beef, chicken, vegetables, pancakes, you name it. We slept in tents which were just that-tents. We were given comfy pads, a sleeping bag, and pillow. The car is so much fun to ride in because they raise the roof (literally) and you can stand and watch everything! I would highly recommend this tour to everyone. Thank you Suricata for making our trip so great

Well organized, Friendly, Efficient.
A well organized, budget-friendly tour. We wanted to have a good safari adventure on a budget and Suricata delivered.
They were always on time and ready. The tours of the national parks were amazing! We were able to see so many different animals in their natural habitat and our driver always stopped at every interesting animal and gave us a lot of time to watch them. The Safari car was clean and well maintained.
Elias, our tour guide and driver, was knowledgeable and was able to answer every question we had.
The food and accommodations were good for the price.
Would recommend to anyone who wants a good safari experience at a good price.

Time keeping,knowledgeable,patient and friendly
We had an amazing experience with Blends of Africa Adventures at Masai Mara. Our guide, Adamba, was outstanding, patient knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive; he made sure we saw 4 of the Big 5, and told us so much about the rhinos that we felt like we already saw them. The tour was perfectly organized by Bob, ensuring excellent accommodations at the right price. I highly recommend Blends of Africa for a personalized safari.

A wonderful tour operator, very accomodating!
It was a wondefrful trip to Kenya and this was made possible thanks Naitu who handles Motto Tours!
We had at first planned a safari trip with her for 3 days at the Masai Mara Reserve and the booking, payment, coordination with the guide onsite was so smooth that we have decided to trust her also for our other activities such as the Nairobi Park safari, the Elephant Orphanage, the Giraffe Center and the Tea Farm Tour.
Everything was tailored for us according to our availabilities and budget and the commuication with Naitu was also very easy so I 100% recommend this operators if you are planning your holidays in Nairobi.

Godson was a fantastic guide and extremely knowledgeable!
We had such a fantastic safari experience with Godson! Our 3 day trip was so well organised and we felt so lucky to have such an experienced guide. Godson knew so much about the wildlife and local habitat and went out of his way to ensure we say the big 5! We had unforgettable moments watching herds of elephants walking together, lions feeding and hippos chilling by the water. Godson was so friendly and wanted to make sure we had the best experience possible.
