An Exceptional and Unforgettable Safari Experience
We had an absolutely unforgettable experience with Blends of Africa.
Everything was perfect from start to finish: flawless organization, personalized support, and a team that truly cares. Special thanks to Kevin for his professionalism and remarkable attention, especially with the children.
The safari, the accommodations such as Sopa Lodge, and every detail of the trip went far beyond our expectations. We will cherish the wonderful memories of this unique journey.
We wholeheartedly recommend Blends of Africa to anyone wishing to experience an authentic and exceptional adventure in Africa.

A fantastic organized tour in Namibia
We visited Namibia for 10 days on a tour that included a shuttle, lodges, and some excursions. Everything worked out perfectly. Comfortable shuttles with friendly and helpful drivers, always on time. Lodges with all the comforts, friendly staff, and beautiful excursions.
Excellent value for money. We really recommend it.

fantastic tour operator
I chose this tour operator because they immediately understood what I wanted. The safari was perfect. Everything went according to plan. All our requests were answered within minutes. The prices are very good. I will book with Tales of Tanzania Safaris again.

They go above and beyond to ensure that every little detail is taken care of! Just excellent
Essy and her team have created a magical trip for my family. Every little detail was taken care of. The communication was excellent from the beginning. Our driver Ken was extremely knowledgeable and we saw everything that we had hoped for and more. Nothing was too much for the team right from pick up at the airport, arranging alternative itinerary and even helping with getting a local SIM card. Essy was there with some lovely gifts for us when we arrived. The safari and the hotel choices were fantastic and I will definitely be recommending leisure escapes to all my friends. Thank you

A well organized, professional and knowledgeable
What an amazing experience! Jocky tours has such a fun and organized itinerary, and so thankful and grateful we had JOHN WALTER as our driver
He was fun, witty, and smart. We asked him a gazillion questions about everything and anything and he knew the answers. Having a chill driver that has such incredible knowledge was such a plus.
I would 100% use jocky tours again and request to have only John as driver again. 6 of us in his jeep and evey single one of us absolutely love him!

Pretoria half day tour
Our driver and guide Tshepo was awesome!! Very enthusiastic, provided lots of relevant information! Loved it!
I just regretted we did not have more than 30 minutes to explore the Paul Kruger house museum (maybe make it a 40 or 50 minute stop).

Unforgettable safari and mountain adventure with AfricaMulimiSafaris. Great agency, adventure of a l
I highly recommend AfricaMulimiSafaris!
We are a group of 4 Poles and booked a 2-day trip: a train ride from Dar es Salaam, a full-day safari, and a hike in the Uluguru Mountains.
Guides & Service
Our guides (Osman, driver Alfons, the 27-year-old mountain guide, and Idris) were excellent – polite, caring, and never rushed us. We felt very safe and well looked after.
Safari & Accommodation
The train was clean, safe, and had airport-style security. Watching daily life from the window was fascinating. The safari was amazing, with many more animals visible before sunset. We finished around 6 PM and stayed at Camp Bastian – great food and comfortable conditions (bring strong mosquito repellent, as there were quite a few in the room).
Maasai Village & Uluguru Mountains
The next morning, we visited a Maasai village (not part of the program but arranged on request). It seemed authentic, with a very kind Maasai guide, just 20 minutes from the lodge.
Then we hiked in the Uluguru Mountains – for me, one of the best experiences of my life. Stunning views, authentic villages, friendly people, and no mosquitoes. Some of us struggled with the hike (though it’s easy/medium difficulty), so we took motorcycle taxis to Choma Waterfall – unforgettable! We had time to explore and enjoyed a prepared meal by the waterfall.
Notes
🚫 Drones cannot be flown without official permits. This rule is very strictly enforced – even the guides from the agency themselves made sure no one tried to fly without permission.
📌 After the trip, we wanted to contact our mountain guide to send him some of the photos we had taken together. The agency, however, did not provide us with his private contact details. At first we were surprised, but later we understood that this is their policy to protect staff privacy and safety. All communication with guides goes only through the agency. While we were a bit disappointed not to be able to thank him directly, we respect their professionalism and the way they care about their employees.
🚻 In the middle of the park, where we had lunch (a large canteen with a dining area), there was also a toilet available.
Summary
Don’t hesitate – book with this agency! We’re now in Zanzibar, and honestly, the mainland and this trip impressed us much more. We would love to come back!
