Matt showed great flexibility meeting our specific needs, creating a perfect Safari for us
5/5

Jambo Albert and Matt,

After a few hours of sleep in our own beds I felt it important to express our appreciation right away. We left Nairobi at 3 am and arrived the “same day”, June 29th, in Phoenix AZ around midnight, via Istanbul and JFK. That was a 31 hour journey (including the 10 extra hours of time zones we traveled through), but it was all well worth it.

Ellen and I both enjoyed a spectacular vacation, where your company's terrific guides of Joseph, Amos and George, every day, brought us memorable, visual, unique, masterpieces of Kenya and Tanzania wildlife, in their natural setting. Each guide was outstanding, patiently waiting as I snapped great images or accompanying videos of Africa’s animal habitats along the way. As we view these experiences down the way, they will be gentle reminders of the wonders we shared with each other during our Safari and the bonds we made over the fortnight stretch with these three marvelous individuals.

We both loved every moment. Ellen’s joy and exuberant daily was so important to me. Before traveling to Kenya and Tanzania she was apprehensive; fearful of high temperatures, sleeping too close to the ground and bugs, in “tents’, but finding the luxurious camp sites and hotels to be some of the finest establishments we have ever stayed in during 50 years of travel. The warm greetings and hospitality shown at each location are unmatched.

I personally appreciated the extra effort to ferry the supplies needed for Ellen’s medical needs. It has been critical that we both live life to its fullest over the last 6 years of Ellen’s cancer treatment. She came through it all with flying colors.

Please pass on our very best to all the company's employees, who helped make this Safari happen, particularly with the last minute changes, due to the ebola outbreak in Uganda. Ellen and I would like you to thank Joseph, Amos and George, especially for their outstanding contribution to our adventure of a lifetime. So, please share this message with each of them.

Finally, we wish your company continued success and we would be delighted to recommend your expertise in masterfully organizing the Safari on our behalf. Each daily detail helped provide a perfect, magnificent and magical vacation.

Yours sincerely,

Ellen and Chris Brant

A Perfect and Unforgettable Trip
5/5

Our trip to Africa was simply unforgettable! If we could sum up the experience organized by Tapestry in one word, it would be perfection. Everything was planned down to the smallest detail and exceeded all of our expectations.
The safaris in Masai Mara and Serengeti were magical! Seeing the wildlife so close was thrilling, and it was only possible thanks to Tapestry's wonderful guides. What fantastic professionals! They were relentless and completely committed to finding the animals for us to see. With so much patience and knowledge, they guaranteed us unbelievable moments in the savanna.
The hotels chosen by the company were also a highlight of their own: memorable, super comfortable, and perfectly integrated into nature. We were welcomed with so much warmth, and the service was impeccable from start to finish.
We came back home with hearts full of joy and gratitude. Congratulations, Tapestry, on your amazing work with tourism in Africa. You are awesome! 🦁❤️

Our safari was curated with expertise, professionalism and with a personal touch for our family!
5/5

Tapestry of Africa curated a 14 day safari in Kenya and Tanzania with private guides and luxury lodges. Matt worked with our family to develop a perfect trip; he met with us via Zoom to describe each day, showed excellent examples of our lodges with included meals, and educated us on how to prepare for the trip. Our Kenya driver/expert guide, Kim, picked us up in Nairobi and immediately started us off toward our game drive in Ol Pejeta Convervancy. Upon entering the gates, we immediately saw elephants, giraffes, zebra, then were amazed at a male and female lion walking right next to our vehicle, then stalking a warthog. Kim was professional, kind, and knowledgeable about all the animals and the best places to spy them. During our trip we spied 3 different leopards, which are typically elusive animals, but Kim guided us to them knowing where they typically stay. Each luxury lodge we stayed at was special with such friendly and expert service, beautiful accommodations, excellent and delicious food. We even took a hot air balloon ride over the savanna to see the animals and beautiful sunrise. Tapestry’s staff would keep in touch on a daily basis to make sure our needs were met. In addition to Ol Pejeta Conservancy, we went to Lake Nakuru National Park, Masai Mara National Reserve, then to Tanzania where our guide, Eddie, was equally knowledgeable and professional to guide us through Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, then back to Kenya with Kim to guide us through Ambroseli National Park. Everywhere we went, it seemed the animals seemed to come to us or walk right by our vehicle. We saw elephants, lions, hippos, rhinos, buffalos, zebras, giraffes wildebeest, hyenas, cheetah, leopards, warthogs, gazelle, meerkats, every kind of African bird, the beautiful Masai people, the famous baobab trees, ancient volcanoes and Mount Kilimanjaro! Our first trip to Africa captured our hearts and we can not wait to come back for our next adventure!

Dreams Fulfilled
5/5

This was the honeymoon of a lifetime. We are still dreaming about our trip around Kenya. Our tour guide George was absolutely incredible. His kindness, warmness, and knowledge on animal life was spectacular. The communication was thorough and the service of Tapestry exceeded our expectations. We saw everything we wanted to and more! Would definitely recommened and can't wait to do another tour with Tapestry.

A 'Trip of a Lifetime' visiting national parks and reserves, customized every detail and hassle-free
5/5

I began researching my dream retirement trip about a year ago. After reviewing dozens of safari tour websites, I kept coming back to Tapestry of Africa. The reviews and testimonials seemed to describe exactly the kind of "trip of a lifetime" I had been dreaming about for years. I filled out an inquiry on Tapestry's website and shortly afterward received a phone call from Dr. Matt Jensen, the company's founder and owner.
During that initial call, Dr. Matt wanted to understand exactly what we were looking for so he could customize every detail and create a trip that would be both adventurous and hassle-free. He scheduled a Zoom call with us a few days later.
On that call, we discussed visiting both Kenya and Tanzania and exploring their national parks and reserves over a three-week period. My wife of two years was somewhat reluctant about traveling to Africa. She had previously visited Uganda through the college where she worked and remembered the "budget-friendly" accommodations and long hours spent traveling between parks on rough, potholed roads. I promised her this trip would be different.
During the Zoom call, Matt presented an itinerary he called the "20-Day Beyond Luxury: A Kenya and Tanzania Safari Spectacular." In Kenya, he selected Meru National Park, Samburu National Reserve, and Masai Mara National Reserve. In Tanzania, we would visit Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park. We would then return to Kenya to visit Amboseli National Park, famous for its stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro.
To minimize long drives on rough roads, Matt included six internal flights between destinations. The package included all game drives—I participated in more than 20—as well as meals, drinks, a couple of spa treatments for my wife, and a hot-air balloon ride for me.
We stayed in beautifully designed tented suites, along with a few properties that would be considered luxury hotels. All the while, we were surrounded by national parks and reserves filled with incredible wildlife. We saw all of the "Big Five," along with cheetahs, wild dogs, hippos, and countless other animals.
Everyone we encountered was exceptionally kind and helpful. From the greeters at each camp and lodge to every member of the staff, we consistently received five-star service. Our guides and drivers—including Benson, Amos, Sammy, and others—were incredibly knowledgeable. After spending two or three days with each of them, we felt we had developed genuine friendships.
One of the greatest sources of peace of mind was knowing that if we had a question or encountered a problem, Albert, Hilda, or Matt were only a phone call away. Because we were traveling as a couple rather than with a group, we initially had some concerns about logistics. Who would meet us at the remote airstrips? How would border crossings work? Who would be waiting for us at each destination? Tapestry of Africa had every detail covered and checked in with us almost daily throughout the trip.
Did everything go perfectly? No. Air Kenya canceled two of our internal flights without explanation. My guess is that it was related to fuel costs and low passenger numbers. However, Tapestry informed us as soon as they learned of the changes and immediately arranged alternative transportation. It meant a long day traveling by safari vehicle over bumpy roads, but the situation was completely outside of Tapestry's control.
For me, this truly was a trip of a lifetime—one I will never forget. I returned home with more than 2,000 photographs to help preserve the memories of everything we experienced.
I give Tapestry of Africa five stars and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking an unforgettable African adventure, combined with the comfort of knowing every detail is professionally handled.
