Tapestry had outstanding communication throughout our trip and a great personal booking experience.
Tapestry of Africa was the perfect choice for us.
After doing a group tour in southern Africa the previous year we realised that this time we wanted to maximise the time spent in the national parks with the animals so Kenya was perfect. I was looking for a longer trip, around 3 weeks, that was packed with safari days.
There were only a few companies I could find doing longer trips that included Tsavo N.P. We wanted to go to Tanzania as part of the trip, specifically the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. I found Tapestry on Safari Bookings as they had a perfect trip listed.
Tapestry had amazing communication and flexibility when booking, allowing me to get my dream trip to everywhere I wanted to go for a suitable budget and timeframe.
Matt at Tapestry will make sure your trip is exactly what you want, you won’t just be another booking as you will be with some other companies. We also contacted a larger company who were too pushy to get the sale, only focusing on telling us how many reviews they had.
We had separate guides and vehicles in Kenya and Tanzania but we had a great time in both. Our guides were both very experienced, friendly and professional (and we had a really great time with them). Thanks to the knowledge and networking of our guides, the overload of animals we saw made sure that our cameras were never put away.
We will go back for another trip in a few years and we will talk to Tapestry because they listened to what we wanted and we trust them to deliver a great trip.

Great drive and sightings
Had a great few days in the company of morning star and with Willy being our guide- driver. He did an excellent job in helping us with sighting in the 4 days of our trip. We did a rare sighting of serval cat and others. Overall will highly recommend the tour group and our guide Willy.

We booked with Emmys safari, our guide for the two days was amazing think he was called Toni, made sure we got as close as we could to animals and gave us plenty of time to sit and watch them, he also was very knowledgeable . Hotel we stayed for the one night was beautiful and couldn't fault. Emmys was always on hand and available by phone or message when we had slight problem with flights being delayed which is out of there control. Thank you for amazing experience you have us

Amazing experience, stunning sights.
We had 6 fantastic days seeing Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, plus an 8k hike up through the rainforest of Kilimanjaro’s foothills. There was so much to take in, especially just how close we got to animals living in their natural environment- more than 50 notable species that you could only find in zoos back home.
This company was so easy to deal with, professional and responsive in dealing with our enquiries - that’s why we chose it. They delivered everything they promised and more. A really important part of that was how excellent our driver and guide Gilbert was. He could spot the animals, unerringly, from miles off and was very informative about the wildlife, but also about the culture of this part of Africa and the Maasai people, whose home it is. He delivered us safely and promptly to everywhere we needed to be. All we had to do was let him know our preference and we just sat back and enjoyed it in the comfort of our huge jeep!
Massive thanks to Ndutu Green Explorers and to Tom for his excellent planning and communications and making us feel very privileged with memories (and photos) we will treasure.

Expert our operator for amazing safaris
I have been on the tour with Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Kilimanjaro. All the safaris were amazing and every day gave me great surprises and emotions: elephants in Tarangire, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hippos and much more in Serengeti, all the animals within a few kilometers in Ngorongoro.
The last day was amazing too on the Kilimangiaro's slopes: banana and coffee plantations, an amazing waterfall and natural pools.
A special thanks to our really experienced and helpful guide Alì and to all the Dancing Simba staff: David, Bulldozer, Joseph and all the others.

Expert, helpful and fun!
The Safari experience with Dancing Simbas was something phenomenal. We saw many different animals, including cheetahs and leopards that are shy and difficult to spot, elephants so close you could almost touch them, giraffes, zebras, gazelles and so on. All of this was possible thanks to our guide Ali, who stood out for his professionalism, kindness, helpfulness, friendliness and ability to spot animals at considerable distances. There will never be enough words to thank him properly. A thank you also goes to Bulldozer, the guide of the other jeep, who contributed with his experience and vivacity to make everything even more fun and magical!

Trip with friends.
I went on a 4-day trip with four friends. We have so many memories of traveling together. The guide showed us the places of interest. Masai Mara's game drives were a great experience, and I enjoyed watching the animals in the cool morning air. Accommodation was clean and safe, food was plentiful, and service was as per choice. The atmosphere of Nakuru was comfortable; I was able to capture several moments in the light cloudy sky. This package is suitable for traveling together.
