What an Amazing Adventure—A Must Do
5/5

This was simply an amazing adventure with GREAT people and group! So helpful. So responsive. So understanding. Even fun watching how easily and smoothly can pivot to accommodate different people requests!!!

Tips—pack for varying temps (backpack with windbreaker, short sleeve, gator or mask for dusty)

Have lots of $1 and $5 USD for tips to the locals (very grateful) along with $10/$20, don’t need big bills. And will haggle—if don’t like that, shop with your “auntie”

Use credit cards that don’t have foreign fees. Accepted everywhere it seems so don’t need to convert to local.

Have back up batteries for phone/camera. And lots of storage.

Have nice comfortable walking shoes and socks for feet. And try to wear gentle full up to calf light compression socks daily. (Will thank me later)

Pack your meds and OTCs like to have. Expect URI symptoms and such simply from travel and the dusty roads. And malaria prophylaxis and vaccines

Last—and cannot emphasize this enough, in preparation and while, if have any questions or issues or such, TALK TO MATT and his folks. While there, talk to his staff as well. Amazing people he works with, interesting stories and backgrounds. Talk to the guides he hires to take you on the adventures. Overall, a great time!!!!

Attentive and responsive from the beginning of the planning process through to the end of the trip
5/5

This started out as a bucket list trip for my very able bodied 86 yo mother. I reached out to Matt about a year before to solicit information and he got back to me immediately with a few questions regarding time and budget and then a full itinerary landed in my inbox the next morning. We chose the luxury level- Matt and Tapestry of Africa did not disappoint. We ended up being a group of 5 women, ranging in age from 33 to 86, and everyone had a wonderful time. Our safari was 11 days and we traveled/drove through 5 National Reserves/Parks in this order Maasai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, and Amboseli.
Our safari was during a 'shoulder' season - which has its pluses and minuses. The major plus was a more intimate experience with the animals. In the Maasai Mara we were one of no more than three cruisers at any given location looking at a group of animals, and many times the only vehicle. We saw 13 different animals on our first day alone. This plus also translated to accommodations that weren't busy and a private hot air balloon ride. Another plus was the mild temperature - we had maybe one or two 'hot' days, but the rest was very comfortable and minimal bugs. A minus was the rain - realizing we had no control over this and this was a risk we took going in March. But what we weren't prepared for were the road conditions and the time it took to travel from one location to another. For example, our drive from the Maasai Mara across the Tanzania border to the Serengeti took all day and the roads were terrible - my smart watch congratulated me thinking I had exercised - just to give the reader an idea.

Accommodations - these ranged from upscale tent cabins with ensuite bathrooms to 5 star hotels, all with excellent service and care. Everyone was so kind and generous. The food was outstanding and just got better and better at each location.
Packing - we were all able to do the the trip with carry on luggage- all of the accommodations offered laundry services, with some being complimentary - so that made it easier to pack lightly.

Animals - They didn't disappoint. A couple of the game drives, just after some rain, were on the quiet side, but overall the Maasai Mara, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire did not disappoint. The only animal we did not see up close, but did through binoculars, was the Rhino. Everything else including cheetahs and a leopard shared their space with us.

Tapestry of Africa - Our point people on the ground were Hilda and Albert - and they were always available on a moment's notice to answer questions or give directions and we were lucky enough to meet Matt at the end of our trip as he was just arriving in Nairobi with a group of volunteers. Our drivers - Joseph in Kenya and Andrew in Tanzania - were outstanding and very skilled drivers. They were so knowledgeable and enjoyed sharing that knowledge and also had great senses of humor - which made the trip that much more fun.

If I do it again ....I will bring more cash ($1000-$1200) and in small denominations - the cost of the Tanzanian Visa at the border was $100 in cash, and the small denominations help out with tipping ie: $1 to attendant in the public bathrooms, and having the cash allows you to tip your guides directly.
I would fly in between a couple of the locations instead of driving - we spent A LOT of time in a vehicle. For example, I would fly from Nairobi to the Maasai Mara or Maasai Mara to the Serengeti and then from Amboseli to Nairobi.

Overall a fantastic experience and adventure. We would definitely recommend Tapestry of Africa.

Our guide was courteous, friendly and knowledgeable.

This Safari was so well thought out and planned. The tour director was visibly on site and available to address any questions. His staff also available and accommodated all questions and concerns, they demonstrated flexibility, and was knowledgeable in all areas of the location, history and geography.

Matt and his wonderful team was knowledgeable and passionate! They were all outstanding!
5/5

My experience with Tapestry of Africa Tours was absolutely outstanding. The trip was well-organized, stress-free, and filled with unforgettable experiences. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing the culture, history, and beauty of each destination.

Every detail was thoughtfully planned, from accommodations to activities, allowing us to fully enjoy the journey. The team’s professionalism and personal attention made the experience even more special.

I highly recommend Tapestry of Africa Tours to anyone looking for an authentic, memorable, and expertly guided travel experience. I would happily travel with them again.

AMAZING experience!
5/5

I was part of a group of 4 couples going on safari together. Fortunately we chose Tapestry of Africa! From the updates from Matt to meeting Albert, George and Joseph in Nairobi we LOVED our trip. The accommodations were all different, very interesting and top-notch. George and Joseph are so knowledgeable, professional, friendly, fun and helpful! They did a wonderful job of getting us to where the animals were hanging out and about giving us time to watch, photograph and enjoy before moving on. We looked at several tour operators and found Tapestry to be very reasonably-priced while providing much bang for your buck!
Would HIGHLY recommend!
(On a personal note I was thrilled to find that the founder of Tapestry is an American dentist, Dr Mathew Jensen, who has founded a non-profit to help with dental care in Africa! Part of the cost of each safari booked goes towards the goal of getting dental care to those who would otherwise go without! Definitely a win-win situation!)
