Tapestry of Africa Tours and Safaris are outstanding with an excellent service!
Where do I begin, the safari was a 50th birthday gift from my husband, and I thank God that I came across Tapestry of Africa Tours and Safaris when I began looking into booking the safari, there were other tour operators that I came into contact with but, there was something about the warm, welcoming service I received from Matt, who was always on hand to answer any questions I had, at anytime. This is one of things that helped me in making my decision to book with Tapestry, also knowing that they are a company that gives back to the community was even more of an incentive for me to book with them. As the safari approached I was in contact with the team who assisted in guiding me every step of the way. Albert who kept in contact via WhatsApp to answer any further questions I had, and to let me know he would be the one meeting me at the airport, and checked in to make sure everything was alright. Hilda who made sure that our vaccinations and visas and insurance were done which was really helpful when crossing the border from Kenya to Tanzania, and on to Zanzibar, it made the process run smoothly, as I saw people who had to be stopped for not having their visas or insurance. She also kept in contact to make sure everything was going well and that if I had any issues, which thankfully I didn’t have I could let her know.
Let’s talk about the safari it was one of the most amazing experience's I’ve had thanks be to God! We spent 3 days in Kenya, 6 days in Tanzania and 3 days in Zanzibar. Our guides made it unforgettable experience starting with our Kenyan guide Ephantus who looked after us and made sure we were always comfortable and endeavoured to take us to the places where we had the opportunity to spot one the big five, which we did the first day we saw a rhino on the way to Lake Nakuru, the second day at the Masai Mara NP we saw the king of jungle up close feeding on his prey amazing, pictures really don’t do this experience any justice!
Our Tanzanian guides Eddy and David were outstanding and stood out! They always made sure we were ok and reminded us that they were always there for us. They made our daily long drives fun, entertaining and enjoyable the days went by too quickly. David and I shared the same faith so we taught each other worship songs from our churches amazing! They taught us the Jambo song which I love and can’t stop singing.
Not forgetting our Zanzibar guide Yohana who picked us up from the airport when we got to Zanzibar. We had a day to rest from our safari and then the following day he took us on a Stone town and spice farm tour which was a really enlightening. He picked us up on our final morning and dropped us to the airport.
I must add that the guides are all knowledgeable in their fields. The team are willing to go above and beyond to ensure an amazing experience. My husband had left the binoculars in the Kenyans guide car when we changed over to our Tanzanian guides, by the time he realised he had gone too far. The team arranged for it be delivered to the hotel we were staying at before our flight home.
To conclude I want to say a big thank you to the partners Matt, Albert and the team at Tapestry for making my 50th birthday safari experience an unforgettable one.

Outstanding!
Unforgettable Kilimanjaro & Safari Adventure with Mateys Wild Tours!
We were a group of 9 international Wim Hof Method female instructors on a powerful mission—to summit Kilimanjaro in record time. Thanks to the outstanding support from our guide Mike and his incredible team, six of us reached Uhuru Peak in just 46 hours via the Marangu Route. It was a truly unforgettable, soul-stirring experience.
From start to finish, the entire crew—guides, porters, cook, and our ever-smiling waiter—showed exceptional care, professionalism, and warmth. They handled everything flawlessly and made sure we felt safe, supported, and strong every step of the way.
We stayed at Panama Garden Resort before and after the climb—an ideal, peaceful spot to rest and recharge. Logistics were seamless throughout.
After Kilimanjaro, a friend and I went on an amazing safari through Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater, followed by a magical canoe trip on Lake Duluti.
Philipo, the owner of Mateys Wild Tours, went above and beyond— surprising us with personalized mugs, name bracelets, a celebration cake on the mountain, and even helping us connect with Msamaria Children's Center before hand. Msamaria is a local children’s NGO, for which we raised funds previous to our climb. That part of the journey was a meaningful goal of this adventure and deeply touched our hearts. Philipo’s care and dedication made all the difference.
This was more than an adventure—it was a journey full of nature, of strength, connection, and heart. If you are looking to explore Tanzania with care, professionalism, and soul, I believe that Matey’s Wild Tours is the team to trust. You’ll be in the best hands.

Attentive, with integrity, trustworthy - can not get better than Compass Odyssey!
I decided last minute that I wanted to climb Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, and decided to reach out to Darren at Compass Odyssey to help set this up. I had travelled using Compass odyssey several times before (to South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia), and each trip was always everything we wanted and more, so I knew that when Darren said he could help me arrange for Kilimanjaro, I’d be in good hands. He is incredibly easy to communicate with, replying quickly and kindly, always willing to work with you on any tweaks or requests. He is incredibly professional. The value for the money is also far and away better than what you will get from other tour operators I have been recommended who are based elsewhere. I have full trust in compass odyssey and am looking forward to our next trip with them in the 2025-2026 academic year.

Went beyond the itinerary to accommodate our requests.
Erick was easy to communicate with throughout the planning period as well as during the tour itself. His team of enthusiastic youngsters gave us an excellent service throughout the tour. Their selection of our accommodation was comfortable, clean and very satisfying. Our meals were abundant and delicious. We covered the important safaris, enjoyed a relaxed beach stay in Diani, visited some impirtant temples and Gurdwaras, shopped and travelled by bus, jeep, boat, train and aeroplane. I would recommend Divulge Adventures to all safari enthusiasts. Our group of 48pax from the JOM RONDA group had an amazing time in Kenya.

Amazing Experience
We had an amazing experience with Jambo Masai Tours!
Our tour operator Raphael did a fantastic job — he responded quickly and was always available for questions or feedback.
We went on an 8-day safari that included Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and the Materuni Waterfalls — and it exceeded all our expectations!
A big thank you to our guide Praise Ombeni, who took us to the best spots and made sure we saw the Big Five more than once. His knowledge and passion for wildlife made every game drive unforgettable.
Also, a huge shoutout to our chef Pasco Marco — the food was absolutely outstanding! Fresh ingredients, local flavors, and delicious meals every single day.
We can highly recommend this tour and would definitely love to come back again one day.
Thank you, Jambo Masai Tours!

I would recommend them to anyone wanting an authentic Kenyan safari.
My safari with Rocktrek Safaris was everything I hoped for and more. The guides’ passion for wildlife and storytelling made every drive special. The accommodations were charming and comfortable, with great views. I loved the personalized touches, like sundowners in the bush and visits to local villages arranged by Rocktrek. The whole trip felt safe, smooth, and truly special. I would recommend them to anyone wanting an authentic Kenyan safari.

Great safari! We saw many animals and had a great guide!
We decided to do a one day safari and weren’t disappointed. Last year we also went on a one day and clearly loved it enough to do it again! I highly encourage anyone to do this safari. It is a great time for both young and old.
