Professional, organized, and attentive, making our Safari truly unforgettable.
Our Africa trip was an unforgettable experience, from the excitement of seeing incredible wildlife up close to the beautiful scenery, well-organized itinerary, and wonderful accommodations. Above all, we gained a deeper understanding and appreciation of wildlife, the local cultures and people. ***One of the highlights was building close relationships with everyone in our group, making the journey even more special and memorable.

Tapestry is competent, caring, talented and reliable in planning and executing the perfect safari.
Tapestry of Africa, though being a relatively new tour company, has assembled a very talented and caring team of safari tour guides and administrative staff. We felt very safe, well informed, and comfortable throughout our safari. Their ability to find the animals, immerse you in the local culture and foster relationships with your fellow travelers and Tapestry staff was unlike anything my wife and I have ever experienced in our all of our travels. Accommodations were excellent and the Tapestry Team made us feel at home in every way. Pricing was very reasonable and included funding for local ministries that support human service needs, especially dental services for those who otherwise don't have such services available to them. During the entire adventure, we felt well cared for by a reliable and caring Tapestry team. We give them 5 stars in every category and strongly recommend them for your African adventure!

Africa beyond our wildest dreams
We just returned from an amazing trip with Tapestry Of Africa on an 11 day safari through Kenya and then flying into Zimbabwe to view Victoria Falls, and onto Botswana for an incredible river safari. Matt Jensen, the owner of Tapestry Of Africa accompanied us on the first part of our journey and made the experience so personal and inviting. Our accommodations were top notch and our guides were phenomenal. We stayed at both lodges and tent camps though my husband and I did prefer the tent camp experience. Many of our camps had visible watering holes where animals would come in throughout the day and evening for viewing. Each park we went to was a different experience and the trip was planned down to every detail. I cannot say enough about the seamlessness of this trip. This company really cares and they have a wonderful Philanthropy attached to the company. Be assured, however, you plan your trip into Africa you will be taken care of every step along the way with Tapestry Of Africa.

Highest level of service and attention to detail in the industry period.
I have traveled with many tour companies and none have come close to matching the experience I had with Tapestry of Africa. Almost immediate response to every question. 5 star support through the entire trip. All of the staff from Mat Jenkins the owner to the drivers and office staff strive for excellence. I did extensive research trying to pick a tour company for my first safari and I don’t believe I could have found a better option. The accommodations and safari vehicles were all superb. If you are trying to find a safari company to travel with you will never do better and will be hard to match.

He is professional, caring, and knowledgeable.
Excellent safari itinerary. Balloon ride in Maasai Mara was magical. We loved the camps which were truly luxurious, unique, and matching the environment. They had a different feeling with personalized attention by staff in a smaller area that you don't get at a large lodge. Ngorongoro was unique but all parks were great with different flavors and landscape. I only had one insect bite during 12 days which is much less than anywhere else I travel although it was during the dry season.

A truly unforgettable journey through Kenya and Tanzania
We recently had the pleasure of travelling to Kenya and Tanzania with Tapestry of Africa, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience.
From start to finish, the whole trip was very professionally organised, with everything running smoothly and according to plan. The guides and drivers were excellent — not only highly knowledgeable and professional, but also genuinely friendly, kind and pleasant people who made our experience even more enjoyable.
The accommodations throughout the trip were wonderful, with beautiful locations, great service and a level of comfort that made each stay special.
We were truly impressed by the attention to detail and the care that went into organising our safari. It was an unforgettable experience, and we would happily recommend Tapestry of Africa to anyone looking to explore Kenya and Tanzania.
Thank you to the whole team for helping make our trip so memorable! 🐘🦁🌍

Great safari experience whilst contributing to the healthcare of locals
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!
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.
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.
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.
