Matt is respectful, enthusiastic and genuine is his mission to deliver an unforgettable experience.
From the very beginning, planning with 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.

Fascinating 4 days in Masai Mara, cannot expect more!
It's our first african trip and I did tons of research not to be scammed. Among over 50 travel agency I have contacted, extra miles became our final choice. Why ? first of course is their competitve quote. I picked all hotels in the trip so easily to compare the price between different vendors, extra miles is the only one who gave me detailed cost breakdown (accommodation / transportion / park fees) . But the real important thing which push me to make final decision is Joseph's professionalism and enthusiasmn in communication: He quickly responded all my questions with personalized, extensive suggestions. NOT a chatgpt answer I got from other agents. And he catered to all my requirepemnts like booking the flight directly and even help me to contact the hotels I booked myself. His prompt service didn't drop after we paid the deposit and everything went smoothly all the way to our arrival in Naroibi airport. YOU ARE THE BEST, JOSEPH!
Our driver Simon , performed another good job in Masa mara. He always actively searched for animals for us and patienly answered our questions. It was raining heavily late afternoon everyday during our stay and road was very muddy. Thanks for Simon' excellent driving skills, we didn't get any trouble and saw all the animals we expect to see , including a leopard climing down from the tree with a impala !
I would sincerely suggest everyone who read this review, send them a email to show your interest in east africa , and you definitely won't be disappointed !

Unforgettable Adventure of a Lifetime with Asili Safari
Our 13-day journey through Tanzania, Uganda, and Rwanda with Asili Safari was nothing short of extraordinary, and it’s all thanks to Joe, the mastermind behind our meticulously planned adventure. From the moment we contacted Asili Safari, Joe’s passion and expertise shone through. He tailored our itinerary with his expert recommendations, ensuring we stayed at the most luxurious and well-located lodges throughout the trip. Every detail was flawlessly executed, making this the trip of a lifetime!
In Tanzania, our guide John, a proud Maasai, elevated our 8-day safari to an unforgettable cultural and wildlife odyssey. His deep knowledge and infectious enthusiasm brought the savannah to life. We were mesmerized by sightings of lions, giraffes, elephants, cheetahs, and the awe-inspiring wildebeest migration – a truly magical spectacle! Our visit to a Maasai village was another highlight. The authentic cultural exchange, learning about their traditions and way of life, was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that left us deeply moved.
The second leg of our journey took us to Uganda and Rwanda for gorilla trekking, and it was equally phenomenal. Staying at the iconic Hotel Des Mille Collines was a dream, and our guide Benson’s expertise and warmth made every moment special. His in-depth knowledge of Rwanda’s history and natural wonders enriched our experience, and the gorilla trekking in Uganda was nothing short of life-changing. Standing mere feet from these majestic creatures in their natural habitat was a memory we’ll cherish forever.
Joe’s impeccable planning, attention to detail, and commitment to creating a seamless experience made this adventure truly exceptional. Asili Safari came highly recommended by friends and family, and they exceeded every expectation. If you’re dreaming of an African safari that combines breathtaking wildlife, cultural immersion, and unparalleled service, look no further than Asili Safari. Joe and his team will deliver an experience that will stay with you for a lifetime. We can’t recommend them enough!

Best Safari Experience
Gifted African Adventures did a great job in organizing a 2-day safari for my friend and me. We visited Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. Both parks offered a variety of wildlife such lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, and so much more.
Our guide and driver, Efraem, was so much fun! Efraem shared a lot of fun facts about Tanzania’s culture and wildlife. He had a great eye for spotting animals and always gave us time to enjoy the scenery.
I was also able to schedule a day hike to Napuru Waterfalls in Arusha. The hike wasn’t too difficult and the view at the end of the trail was definitely worth it!
Gifted African Adventures organized everything for us from beginning to end! They arranged airport pick ups, lodging accommodations, and meals.
I highly recommend booking with Gifted African Adventures-They’ll create a fun and personalized itinerary that will make your Safari experience so much fun and unforgettable!

Very humble but experienced and lucky
Christian was very knowledgeable and helped us find every animal we were looking for. We had a close up view of the big 5 and we were also positioned perfectly in order to see the entire wildebeest river crossing from start to finish.

Excellent. Absolutely committed to giving us the best safari experience possible.
We picked Ndutu Green from among a myriad of safari operators based on the value of the offer we were presented. To be honest - I asked a few operators for an offer and threw everything to ChatGPT and asked to compere and evaluate. Because I did not exactly know which parks are worth seeing etc. Chat picked Ndutu as the most interesting and offering the best experience for the money, also it suggested a small change - flight back from Serengeti instead of a long drive. I wrote Ndutu and the communication was fast and flawless. That was pre-safari. Still we came not knowing what to expect. And the trip exceeded all our expectations. The Guide - Gilford was incredibly committed to make the best of our time in Tanzania - show us all the animals from as close as possible. He was patient (we were with 2 kids), kind, easygoing, well informed and overall great guy to spend time with. True hakuna matata spirit. Couldn’t ask for a better guide. The Serengeti lodges were a bliss too. Overall. Perfect experience.
