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! 🦁❤️

Professional, knowledgeable and kind in curating an extra special trip 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.

TOA provided everything we could have expected with a safari.
5/5

Selecting a Safari Tour Operator can be a daunting task, as there are so many operators and places to go. To boil it down I selected 3 with good reviews and requested quotes. Only one was respectful of our requirements (particularly budget) and flexible in working with us to maximize viewing time and minimizing travel time between camps - that was Matt from Tapestry of Africa. We decided to limit our 10 days to Kenya to minimize travel time and Matt selected 4 “venues” (2 national reserves, a national park, and a private conservancy). The lodges Matt selected were all great. As there were 7 of us, we chose to have two safari vehicles (Toyota LandCruisers). This made animal viewing easier, and gave us back-up if either vehicle had a problem (neither did). The driver-guides (Macharia 'Masha' Kamau and Joseph Ndungu) that hosted us were wonderful - competent, knowledgeable, and all-around great guys. With their leadership we saw every type of animal one could expect to see, and learned so much about the animals, landscape, and peoples of Kenya. Our thanks to all the TOA team: Matt, Albert, Hilda, and Elizabeth. If we go on safari again it will be with these folk.
