Luxury safari specialists seamlessly crafting unforgettable wildlife adventures & honeymoon magic
We booked our safari honeymoon through Tapestry of Africa in July, and from start to finish the experience was flawless.
Even though we only reached out about 8 weeks before our trip, Matt and Hilda worked tirelessly with us to design the perfect itinerary across Kenya and Tanzania, making sure we could see and do everything on our wishlist.
From the moment we landed in Kenya from London, we were warmly greeted by three members of the Tapestry of Africa team. We didn’t expect them to be there, as our safari didn’t start until the next day, but they had all turned up just to welcome us and drop us to our airport hotel. They were friendly, inviting, and expressed how grateful they were that we had chosen Tapestry.
The safari itself was beyond anything we could have imagined. We saw 4 of the Big 5 (leopards lived up to their reputation as elusive!), along with countless other species. Some of the most memorable moments were witnessing the Great Migration from multiple angles and seeing a lion pounce on a wildebeest. The accommodations were incredible throughout, with Lake Naivasha Sopa Resort standing out as our favourite - waking up to animals roaming around the lodge was magical. A personal highlight was getting up close with giraffes and zebras, which felt like a dream. At each accommodation, we were greeted so kindly by staff congratulating us on our honeymoon, which made the experience even more special.
The hot air balloon ride was truly once in a lifetime, and the team even arranged the day we did it to give us the best possible chance of seeing the Great Migration. Their goal was clearly to give us the most complete and unforgettable experience, making the entire 8.5 days feel truly special. They surprised us with honeymoon touches along the way - beautifully decorated rooms, extra merchandise, snacks, cakes delivered at meals (complete with a sing-song!) - thoughtful details that meant the world to us.
Our drivers were exceptionally knowledgeable, going above and beyond to make sure we spotted as much wildlife as possible and that we were comfortable throughout. Food at every stop was excellent, and the staff at lodges were warm and accommodating - even preparing packed lunches for our long days out. Everything ran like clockwork: people were ready to greet us at every lodge, and timing was always seamless.
At the end of our safari, Tapestry also arranged our flight from Tanzania to Zanzibar, which worked perfectly.
We are so grateful to the whole team, especially Matt and Hilda, for staying in touch from the very first quote through to the end of our trip. Thanks to them, our honeymoon was unforgettable - a true once in a lifetime adventure.
We honestly could not recommend Tapestry of Africa more highly.

Matt is respectful, enthusiastic and genuine and his mission is to deliver an unforgettable experience
From the very beginning, planning with Tapestry of Africa was easy and even fun. Matt and his team guided us step by step on what needed to be done ahead of time—everything from visas to packing tips—so we never felt overwhelmed. Every question we had (and there were many!) was answered quickly and thoroughly, which gave us so much peace of mind heading into a big international trip with our family.
Once we arrived, we felt safe and well cared for at every stage. Our drivers, George in Kenya and David in Tanzania, were not only skilled and reliable but also warm and personable—we still talk about them! The logistics were seamless, and we never had to worry about a single detail.
The safari itself was magical: a hot air balloon ride over the Maasai Mara, watching the Great Migration at the Mara River, full-day game drives in the Serengeti spotting everything from lion cubs to rhinos, biking through villages in Mto Wa Mbu, hiking to a waterfall, tasting coffee roasted over an open fire, and even enjoying a surprise birthday celebration for our boys. The mix of tented lodges and one luxury stay gave us a range of experiences, including an unforgettable boma dinner.
What made this trip even more meaningful is knowing that proceeds help fund dental clinics for underserved communities. With Tapestry of Africa, we not only created once-in-a-lifetime memories but also felt part of something bigger. We would absolutely plan another adventure with them.
An incredible experience
We went on safari to Tanzania and Kenya with a few days in Zanzibar and it was absolutely incredible.
All of tapestry of Africa staff were extremely helpful and remained in touch with us via whatsapp throughout the journey which was extremely useful for any queries we had.
The accommodation we stayed in was incredible, the views were insane, the food was fantastic and the quality of rooms was great.
Our safari guides were very friendly and very knowledgeable and the safari experience was unforgettable. We saw everything that we wanted to and couldn't recommend it more.

Amazing team!!!
We, a group of 14 travellers have had an amazing 10 days Kenyan safari, from Nairobi to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Samburu and Meru..
The planning was kind of last minute which meant not necessarily being able to secure the requested accommodation based on the size of our group and it being the peak season. However, the team, Matt, Hilda and Albert is able to walk us through, discuss and decide on the full itinerary with everything which we have requested.
The 3 safari guides/drivers, Sami, Charles and Joe allocated to us were nothing short of amazing too. Very helpful, very knowledgeable and with very sharp eyes locating the animals and we were so fortunate to catch the Big Five.
Overall we had a very memorable trip because everything was executed very well by the entire team.
Tapestry Of Africa, thank you for a wonderful time.

Thank you for the experience of a lifetime
We have just come back from our first (and it will definitely not be the last Safari) in Kenya and Tanzania. The whole family felt it was the best holiday ever! Tapestry of Africa were with us every step of the way from planning, suggesting alternatives and customizing our programme to fit our specific timeline adapting from their standard prtogrammes to being with us every step of the way. Logistics and safety cannot be taken for granted and Tapestry made sure we sorted out all the documentation on time, got all the advice, were there to pick us up from NAirobi airport all the way throughout our stay. Excellent guides in Masai Mara, Serengeti and in our stay in Zanzibar and 24 hour service from their Head office in Nairobi to sort out everything. They selected 2 great lodges and helped with logitcs with planes, and jeeps within the two conutries which is no small feat always available for any request. We definitely recommend them and will use them for our next Safari!

Incredibly adventure that lasted 23 days and covered Uganda Tanzania and Kenya.
Matthew and his team put together a 23 day dream adventure.
That started in Uganda with Francis where we went gorilla trekking in Bwindi and continued through Queen Elizabeth National Park and finished with chimpanzee trekking in Kibale National Park.
And continued into Tanzania where are guide David who drove us all over the Serengeti to find Loins, Zebras ,Giraffes, Elephants, Leopards,Impalas, Thomson Gazelle and many other animals and birds. And we stayed in some of the most fabulous locations.
And continued into Kenya with a new guide Alex who made sure we didn't miss anything From Amboseli National Park Samburu,Ol Pejeta Conservancy,Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and finishing off With the Maasai Mara National Reserve.
And we stayed in some of the absolutely unique beautiful places.
Thank's again for a trip of a lifetime.
Nathalie and Norman.

conscientious and thoughtful
Tapestry of Africa worked very hard to make our trip enjoyable and stress free. Everyone was very helpful and our guides were great. Communication before and during our trip was great. One of our bags was lost during our flight and Tapestry worked hard to get it to us as soon as possible I do think it is helpful to have local currency and if you are using a land crossing from Kenya to Tanzania cash in US dollars or Tanzanian shillings was required to get visas.

Personalized, hands-on care. Treated like family!
Our 10-day African safari to Kenya and Tanzania was magical and memorable! We are so glad we chose to go with Tapestry of Africa because we were taken care of from the very beginning, from the video call to discuss itinerary options and prompt answers to every question (and there were a lot). The suggested accommodations were beyond expectations (even got the honeymoon suite at one - which was nice since we were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary) and the food at each of them was excellent - some offering à la cart and others buffet style, which made for a nice variety during our stay.
Albert, Hilda and Matt were there checking in on us prior to the trip and throughout and our guides, Alex and Ernest, took care of us through each of the parks and made sure we saw animals and had a great time. We really loved having the pop-up roof Land Cruiser all to ourselves and the personalized care and insights that each guide provided.
We were very happy with the time of year we chose to go - as the weather was not too hot or too cold and not crowded!
The bonus of booking with Tapestry of Africa was the humanitarian efforts that the organization provides with dental care to underserved African communities!

A wonderful experience
We just finished our safari with Tapestry of Africa and overall a great experience.
We felt the price was great and our accomodation was very comfortable, especially our last stay in Amboselli at the Tortellis camp. A note to others that there is a lot of driving involved and over some very rough roads so be prepared for that.
Also arrival times at some lodges are usually later than expected so again be prepared for this. Having said that we loved it all and were very happy with this company.
