Geeman was the perfect tour guide: he was informative, funny, helpful, and made the trip complete.
Geeman was the perfect tour guide: he was informative, funny, helpful, and made the trip complete. All we had to do was show up, and Geeman and Axis took care of the rest. We were able to get up close to many different animals, and it was definitely a once in a lifetime experience. I would highly recommend!

Run don't walk to book your safari with Tapestry of Africa!
It is hard to put into words how amazing our safari was with Tapestry of Africa. We did seven days in Kenya and Tanzania (Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater) and it was fantastic! I found Tapestry on safaribookings.com and originally was a bit apprehensive as they did not have many reviews (they are a newer company), but I was quickly put at ease with their professionalism, coordination, and correspondence. What drew me to them was their work in dental outreach in Africa (my father is a retired dentist).
From the start Matt helped craft the perfect itinerary for us and was accommodating with our flight dates. He answered all questions quickly and thoroughly. Albert and Hilda were fantastic, both reaching out on WhatsApp to introduce themselves well in advance of the safari and checked in to see how things were going throughout the trip. We had two absolutely amazing guides, Joseph for the Kenya portion, and Vincent for Tanzania. Both were personable, beyond knowledgeable of the animals and the parks, and just delightful guys to spend so much time in the truck with. I came on safari 20 years ago to Botswana and only saw 4 of the big 5, so big shout out to Joseph for finding us a rhino on our first day in Masai Mara. Vincent also found us one in the crater!
The lodges we stayed at were great, with every person we met beyond nice, and helpful, and the accommodations were just delightful (with some fantastic views to boot!). This was a trip of a lifetime, and Tapestry of Africa made everything run flawlessly. Plus knowing that by booking with them, you are helping them provide life-changing healthcare services to the local communities is a cherry on top. I highly recommend booking with Tapestry on one of their many safari options, you will not be disappointed.

He is very knowledgeable about safari
It was a great life experience doing a safari with Axis African Expedition & Safari. It was worth the value of the tour I got to see many wild animals that I never could imagine to see in my life. The safari guide Geeman was very helpful explaining all the questions and helping us with all I needed.

Perfect experience
We went on a safari weekend with Kima safaris and went with Steven who made our experience beyond amazing. It was so organised from start to finish and we saw the most amazing animals up close. Steven was great and made our safari experience better than we could imagine!

Our wonderful guide Likhwa was always attentive and tried to make every day special for us.
Even before our trip, we were impressed by Exec Africa's good organisation and communication. Based on a suggested tour, we were able to easily change or add to the itinerary according to our wishes. Our guide Likhwa (Lee) introduced himself before the trip and then picked us up directly from the airport in Victoria Falls.
The hotels on our tour from Hwange to Maun were well chosen and all the planned tours/excursions were private (except the boat trip on the Chobe River) and took place as planned.
Maybe you can get this or a similar trip cheaper, but we were very satisfied with the trip and this was certainly due to the good organisation of Exec Africa.
Lee was very attentive and always tried to fulfil our wishes. In Maun, for example, we were given a room right behind the kitchen (including the smell and noise). We expressed our dissatisfaction about this in passing and he immediately endeavoured to change our room without being asked. He also always paid attention to whether we wanted to take a photo or just take a short break on the way.
Overall, our trip with all the tours was cleverly organised and therefore very varied.
We would therefore recommend Exec Africa and our guide Lee without reservation.

Highly recommended!
My trip to see the Gorillas was amazing. Thank you to the Native Africa team and especially Chriss for making this a very memorable experience. I went for the tour alone and felt safe and cared for at all moments, would highly recommend.

Fantastic tour with good accommodation and great tour guide
From the moment we were picked up at Johannesburg everything went smoothly, the transport was on time, the lodge was fantastic and all the staff were so helpful and friendly and the safari tours were great, our safari guide was knowledgeable and we saw everything apart from leopard and cheetah.
Would recommend this tour with Mzansi and Zelda was at the end of emails, she answered promptly, sorted all changes we asked for and made the trip memorable.
