Great safari experience whilst contributing to the healthcare of locals
4/5

Title : Kenya Safari and Beach

A trip of a lifetime with a fabulous local team. Masai Mara for 3 days with morning and evening game drives- great sightings of lions, elephants , wildebeest, zebras, hippos, crocodiles , girrafes , hyena and plenty more … we were lucky to see the “ 3 cheetah brothers” with our fabulous drivers Masha and Mbuthia. They were so knowledgeable and gave us advice when our plan needed to be rejigged. So helpful and nothing was ever a problem. We visited Lake Navaisha and a very long drive to Amboseli where we got to see herds of elephants , more of the Big 5 and a cheetah up close.
Accommodation was good - needed to be mindful of the resident monkeys and baboons. The hotel buffets were amazing . Excellent quality of western, indian and kenyan dishes available. Chefs were also cater to specific dietary needs and allergies .Our safari experience was topped by a hot air balloon ride and champagne breakfast in the savannah.
We ended our holiday with a bit of luxury in Diani beach in Mombasa- beautiful white sands and an all inclusive relaxing experience.

Trip of a Lifetime!
5/5

We just returned home and are still processing all of the wonderful experiences we had. We went to Kenya and Tanzania on safari and Zanzibar for a little R&R. Kim (Kenya) and Vincent (Tanzania) were our guides. They were so knowledgeable about the animals, birds, and country- we learned a lot!- and communicated with other guides in the area so they knew where to go when hard to find animals were spotted.

Tapestry of Africa is a great travel company to work with. They were very helpful and responsive the whole time and we loved that their profits went toward dental mission clinics. Our accommodations were excellent and the service at the camps was top notch.

I highly recommend Tapestry to anyone planning to go on safari!

Tapestry of Africa surpassed my expectations in every way.
5/5

I am 75 years old and this trip to Kenya was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. Not only were my many questions answered with additional information, the response came back immediately! I felt as if I was their only client! Matt, Albert and Hilda were a wealth of assistance and information. Traveling with two friends, we all had difficulty in obtaining our visas. Hilda magically made it happen. Matt made me feel like I was a friend, not a client. Albert answered every logistical question with ample information and a welcoming spirit. Meeting other staff members upon arrival (Cleah and Elizabeth) was absolutely delightful! This company has assembled a very strong team of kind, efficient and extremely dedicated individuals. Every request made, including changing accommodations as well as an uncomfortable mattress (!!) was promptly taken care of! They even made sure I had a step-stool to climb into the vehicle!
The pacing was perfect, packing many adventures into the day but always being reminded that we had the option to take a break if needed. We were also presented with optional activities such as a hot air balloon flight and visiting a Maasai village. Both were incredible experiences!
Our group had the pleasure of having Matt lead the trip. His evening sessions were so informative and inspiring to me - and his love of Africa is contagious!
The driver/guides were incredibly knowledgeable, kind and entertaining. They made certain that we saw every animal that we came to Kenya to see and we felt very confident in their driving skills, even when rushing to a site where a lion was spotted!!
We were happy with both the very fair pricing and the itinerary for this tour. The company accommodated our wish to extend for several days and took care of every aspect of the extension. When we wanted to add some last minute excursions in Nairobi, Albert himself was the tour guide!
The Tapestry of Africa family goes above and beyond in every way. We could not be happier with this most amazing trip and company. Important fact: all proceeds past expenses are used to build medical facilities in East Africa. When I was told about this mission, there was no question which tour company we would choose. Tapestry of Africa is the best!!

Go to Kenya! Make memories, and a go with a private Tapestry of Africa tour. 5 stars is not enough.
5/5

Our family of four recently took a safari trip to Kenya with Tapestry of Africa. With an 11-year-old son and a 13-year-old daughter, we had the most amazing experiences, this trip easily ranks in our top three best vacations ever.

We love to travel, and Tapestry truly outdid themselves by taking all the worry out of planning and preparing for such a big adventure. Thank you for all of your help, Matt, Albert,Hilda and Elizabeth. Also a very special thank you to the best safari guide in Kenya, Vincent! If there is an award for best tour guide in Kenya, he would have 20 trophies (he has been doing this for 20 years lol).

A Tapestry safari in Kenya is a private tour where you stay with the same guide for the entire trip. I'm convinced this is the way to go, unless you're traveling across multiple countries, I think you have to get a new guide when you cross a boarder. We absolutely loved the private experience, Vincent provided us with a wealth of details about each location and fascinating animal facts. Vincent is the AI of safaris!

I cannot recommend this trip highly enough, especially for families with young children. There's a quote I'm pretty sure is from a movie, but it rings so true: "We're just here to be memories for our kids." I promise you that going on a private safari in Kenya with Tapestry of Africa will create some of the most cherished memories for your children and your family.

A few tips:

We loved the glamping-style accommodations, particularly the Elephant Bedroom and The Cliff. They cost a bit more, but every penny was worth it.
If you can swing two nights at The Cliff, do it.
Lake Nakuru is smaller, but it's well worth a two-night stay, it was one of the nicest places we stayed during the entire trip.

Also watching Matts travel videos and meeting him in a Zoom is what sold us on using Tapestry, I could feel the care that he and everyone i worked with at the company. They wanted to do anything possible to help you be safe and have a great time.

Our guides were incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife, land and the culture of the people.
5/5

Tapestry of Africa was the perfect choice for our family safari (2 adults and 2 teens). A trip like this succeeds because of the detailed planning done beforehand and the professional staff who carry out the itinerary. Every aspect of our trip was taken care of correctly so our experience unfolded without a hitch. Simply put- it was a carefully curated and perfectly orchestrated experience led by professionals. The safari experience as a whole well exceeded our expectations. The introduction zoom call and subsequent itinerary planning with Matt Jensen was very helpful. The itinerary he crafted included each aspect of the experience we requested. He built out the trip including additional parks/ experiences and proposed a fantastic itinerary within our budget and time constraints. The communication and logistics planning was excellent from Hilda and Albert. They were very prompt in their responses and clear/ concise with instructions. The suggested packing list was very helpful. Our reserved camps/lodges at the mid luxury level were well chosen for location and amenities. Generally they were all excellent with very friendly and attentive staff. Our Nairobi city tour guide Elisabeth was lovely, very well spoken and friendly. She took us on an excursion to visit the Giraffe Center and the Kobe Tough ceramic bead workshop. Highly Recommend!

Our Kenyan safari guide, Vincent, was incredible. As a Maasai, he had deep knowledge of the Maasai Mara National Reserve, including its animals and their behavior as well as the geography and the culture of its people. He was punctual, conversational and energetic each day we spent with him. He clearly considered our safety while driving and guiding us through Kenya (Hells Gate, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru National Park and the Maasai Mara National Reserve) showing us the big five and many additional animals. Vincent was a professional guide from the start to the Tanzanian border where he introduced us to our Tanzanian Guide, Tony.

Tony was fantastic. He led us through the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire Park. Tony was very passionate about animal behavior and the land they inhibit. Before starting our safari with him, he described the three core gears/ drivers of animal behavior and how they are integral to the life cycle and the land they inhabit. This explanation was profound and shifted our perspective and therefore our experience. Each animal encounter we had with him was supported by a breath knowledge from small rare birds to the big five. He took care while driving making sure we were safe and comfortable during each game drive. We were fortunate to have a very special experience with Tony viewing the Great Migration at the Mara River. Tony was incredibly knowledgeable about the crossing, explaining this Natural Wonder of the World in detail.

Our trip included a SCUBA dive experience in Zanzibar booked through Tapestry of Africa. Our resort Breezes was a lovely 4-5 star experience. We appreciated Matt Jensen booking us at the only resort on Zanzibar with a PADI dive shop on site, per our request. This shop was very knowledgeable and professional.

This was an experience our family will remember forever. The seamless planning by Tapestry of Africa made for a very relaxing and effortless vacation. We highly recommend Matt Jensen and Tapestry of Africa.
