Amazing experience with Blends of Africa.
Just one of a kind experience with Blends of Africa. I travelled to Naivasha for a getaway and all I can say is wow! Wow! Wow! The Service, the planning, the activities-boat riding, getting closer to the wild by cycling-what an adventure at Hells Gate- and the accommodation choice was spectacular. Thanks to the team for coordinating the lunch at Naivasha Kongoni Lodge, which to me was amazing because I had the opportunity to try/explore different hotels and their offerings. The budget was favourable and the team kept in touch throughout the safari which made me feel sure and in the right hands. Y'all need to try planning with blends if youre thinking of a safari or even a getaway of your own preference. I guarantee you the best experience!

Attentive, intelligent, kind.
Emmy was wonderful in every way. He was personable, very friendly and quite knowledgeable. He was truly a joy to spend time with. There was absolutely no room for improvement in our experience. Emmy made us feel like we are good friends and every minute of our time together was wonderful.

Kind problem solvers - happy to help
We had a great experience with kiliclimb Africa Safaris - we were part of a group safari and my friend and i came by nightbus from Dar to Arusha. The bus was very late and we missed our previous group and they found us an other group on short notice and assured we still would have a great time. The actual Safari was amazing our Tour Guide Joshua Mfinanga was extremely kind and our group dynamic was amazing. We enjoyed the time together and we have seen many amazing animals up close. Zebras at night around our tents included. It was wonderful.

Unforgetable
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Kiliclimb Africa Safaris from start to finish!
Our guide Abraham was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and always making sure we were comfortable and having a great time. Moses and his entire team were also amazing, organizing everything perfectly so we could simply enjoy the adventure without worrying about a thing.
The vegetarian food was no problem at all—we were well taken care of with tasty and varied meals throughout the trip. The logistics, accommodations, and attention to detail were all excellent.
We truly appreciated the warm hospitality, professionalism, and passion that everyone put into making our safari so special. Thank you for creating memories we will cherish forever!
Highly recommended to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in Tanzania! 🌿🦁

The worst safari company had in Tanzania
Since the beginning I felt not good sensations, cause all the Hotel's guest have been collected from your competitors between 6:30 to 7:30 AM,
Your driver with your old and broken jeep pick us up at 9:30 AM, I would like to make a premise, I have been doing Safaris in South Africa and Kenia,
Normally a Guide/ Driver used to make a general briefing in the beginning and during all the safari explaining where we are direct, how long it takes, what we are going to see/meet, name of animals, plants, seasons etc etc
SKILLS and ACCESSORIES
An expert and professional Safari Guide always carries with them
Maps
Binoculars
Radio
Suppose to know the territory well
Unfortunately for all us (6 persons) our Driver / Guide didn't have NONE of the above mentioned skills/accessories
- No briefing at all > didn't speak whole the Safari, even beacause he was poor in english
- No maps
- No Binoculars
- Radio appears only in the tird day after ALL the Group complain officially, we saw HALF of the animals compare the other/jeeps, due to the lack of use Radio.
- He gets lost in Serengeti twice and gets lost in Ngorongoro once, because we were alone often..due to LACK of USE of the RADIO and lack of know the territory
- Not explanations about plants, animals, lakes (Ex. : What's tha name of Ngorogoro lake ? Answer Crater )
SAFETY
Most important issue it was the SAFETY,
It was very anxious and used to go faster than the other jeeps, didn't stop many many times whem we met animals, anytime we use reminds him, "please stop for a moment".
Twice in Serengeti lost the control of the Jeep, taking the SERIOUS risk to overturn the Jeep . People screamming scared, after a period of slow speed, he started again the fast spped, we looked each other astonished !!
Twice the guests whom seated behind including my young son and Mr. Nardine heated the heads in the Jeep's roof, because the Guide didn't stop in the many bumps in the track
CAR / JEEP
A professional company checks the car before a trip
The Car got broken immediately
- Batteries or Alternator didn't work , so any time the Jeep stopped we should push behind all together or asking for a help or leave the car on descent for the day after to be sure for the start.
- The tire has has broken in the middle of Serengeti, I have changed the wheel because the Chef and the Driver didn't know how tu use the ckick or made mistakes to screw and unscrew the nuts
- A stone heated the front glass, the shards of glass heated the Chef and keep all of us in extremely danger situation and it left us the whole journey with the worry that the glass might explode, cause everyday the cracks getting bigger and bigger
- Eventually the JEEP DIED permantely a 140 Km from Arusha on the way back home, we checked the documents of the car it was 2004 registration date. Left us in the middle of the highway in a very danger point, the two guys were in panic, thanks God we asked for lift, a Jeep with a professional guide help us to reach Arusha ciity in safe.
CHEF /FOOD
- First night our dinner was served along with other groups (3 groups+us) We were served at the end from our Chef assigned, 45 minutes of waiting to see the others having dinner
- Once the food arrives he apologises with our group, introducing himself as Professioanl Chef, but the facts have disproved it
- Simply he did NOT have enough food for the 6 pax or wants to save money in the food markets for his pocket.
- The first night in Serengeti Camp I cooked for whole group a Pasta and I was expecting the Chef was prepared something else, I was wrong, we had just pasta.
- The day after I woke up at 4:30 AM all the Chef/Cookers AREA was full and actives, every Chef cooking and prepare a lots food, cakes desserts etc...our Chef was sleeping I went to wake him up I prepared a coffee for all, no cookies, very poor food and not cooked for breakfast.
When we coming back for lunch the same situation
- The Food was poor and poorly cooked even in Ngorongoro, I seated in late no more meat (a piece each person), two guests vomits and got diarrea after the lunch in Ngorogoro camp.
- Perrsonally and other guests finished the Safari hungry.

Nice, safe and flexible driver
David did an amazing job: We saw 4 out of the Big5 and always stopped when we requested it. Also he spotted animals by himself and let us know.
He also is a safe driver and always made sure that we are safe. When our plans changed, he organised a new stay for us. 10/10
