Their professionalism, wildlife knowledge, communication, and care, blew us away.
There are barely words to accurately capture how unbelievable our experience was with Tapestry of Africa. We did 12 days of private safari, 9 of us, through Kenya and Tanzania and were just blown away by every step of the way. From the start, the communication with Matt Jensen, the owner was wonderful as he was so fast to respond and was always so thoughtful and thorough. Then the whole team from Hilda to Albert, and then the guides who were TOP NOTCH. We found the Big 5, and with their help and extensive experience, they were able to spot every animal we’ve ever dreamed of seeing in nature. George and Vincent in Kenya were so professional, kept us laughing, and educated us all along the way about the wildlife and you could tell they absolutely love what they do. We saw a cheetah our first day, endless giraffes, wildebeest, zebras, and herd after herd of elephants! There were tears when we had to say our goodbyes!
Yuda and Vincent in Tanzania were also expert guides and even found Leopards and a pride of 40 plus lions! They were wonderful, just like everyone we dealt with at Tapestry.
The accommodations were incredible, the food, the staff, the views, the beds! We had long days but with such a lengthy trip of 12 days, the older folks in our group had the option to sit out for some of the game drives and rest, so we were grateful we opted for a longer trip to see a wide variety of parks and scenery.
I can not recommend Tapestry enough. If you’re on the fence, just do it! It’s a trip of a lifetime and will build memories to last forever. We are planning to come back next year and next to Uganda, and of course use Tapestry.

Once in a lifetime experience- ASANTE!
I have just come back from a two week Safari/Zanzibar trip with Tapestry, and there are no words to describe how grateful I am to have chosen them to make our dream trip become a reality.
First, the whole planning/organizing process of the pre-trip was five star service. Matt, Albert, and Hilda all helped me and my mom figure everything out. They gave great advice, led us in the right direction without every pressuring us, and helped to tailor-make our itinerary so that it was perfect for us. They were also able to help us with logistical things like visas, medical appts, etc.
From the moment we landed in Kenya, everything was taken care of. We did not have to worry about a thing from the time we were in their hands, and for the entire two week trip, they stayed in touch making sure that we were happy and that everything was going according to plan.
Highlights:
-All lodging was amazing, the places they chose for us were beautiful and we felt lucky to stay at every one of them.
-They helped make our dream of a hot air balloon become a reality, organizing everything for us ahead of time. If you are able to do this, DO IT! It was breathtaking.
-From start to finish, their professionalism and organization made it possible to completely disconnect and enjoy the beautiful savannah. Not only were they able to answer any and ALL questions with a great respond time, but they even helped us with logistical issues getting refunds for a flight home that they were not responsible for.
Now for the real highlight, and the real reason you MUST choose them for your trip- the guides.
-Kevin: from the moment he picked us up at the airport, Kevin was so kind, knowledgable, and helpful. Thanks to him we got to take advantage of our few hours before Safari, visiting the giraffe center, a bead center (amazing!), and a quick tour of Nairobi.
-Kim: I can't imagine what our safari would have been like if it weren't for Kim. He was with us for our four days in Kenya, and made everything easy, interesting, and so much fun. He was so friendly and extremley intelligent, thanks to his conversation during the long rides, we learned a ton! He was happy to answer all questions, of which we had money, about animals and other curiosities we had about Kenya in general. In terms of the game drives, he had all the tricks! He is a skilled "finder", great driver, and has wonderful energy! From the first minute it became clear that he wanted nothing more than to make sure we saw the Big 5 (which we did!), it seemed like he would be more dissapointed than us if we didn't.
-Joseph: For the remainder of our safari, we were in Tanzania with Joseph. The highlight of our trip was the Serengetti (there's no way to prepare yourself for how amazing it is), and a lot of that is thanks to Joseph. Like Kim, he made it his mission for us to see the Big 5 (again!), and we did! He knew the park like the back of his hand, and knew EXACTLY where to go (it didn't seem like all guides knew because we were often by ourselves). He found us out of this world experiences, driving among lions on their rocks (total lion king moment!), stopping in the middle of hundreds and hundreds of zebra, and a perfect sighting up-close and personal of tons of other animals. He has a great attitude and made sure we were having fun the whole time.
Guys- we are so grateful to you! Hopefully we will cross paths in the future. ASANTE SANA!!
I am so grateful that for this once in a lifetime trip, we chose Tapestry Africa. No notes! If we were to ever repeat this vacation, we would go with them without a doubt.
