Professional
Tour professionally conducted, accommodation excellent, tips etc all taken care of, transport reliable & clean. There was a qualified Egyptiantologist which made all the difference. He was a pleasant & accommodating young man with a professional outlook. I was just not prepared for the large crowds. Something I personally had to overcome but unavoidable due to the location of the tour.

Matt was outstanding, knowledgeable and accommodating to all of our needs.
We just returned from our 11 day Inspire and Explore: Awaken in the Wild Safari, followed by 3 days at the Diani Beach Resort. Wow, Wow, and Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We anticipated the trip of our lives and it was everything we hoped it would be and more.
Right from the beginning of our planning process Matt from Tapestry of Africa held our hand and answered all of our questions. He put our minds at ease and generated more excitement during our online video call. We were guided flawlessly with a packing list, vaccination requirements, visa requirements and tipping suggestions over the months preceding our trip. It didn’t feel overwhelming because the tips were spread out and manageable. From the moment we landed in Africa, we had so many jaw dropping moments. George, our guide who drove us everywhere for 11 days was incredibly knowledgeable and gifted in his domain. He got us up close and personal with the BIG 5!! We learned so many interesting facts that we had to record them in our phones. The safari rides were breathtaking with seeing so many animals cohabitating. With a memorable village visit, we got to experience the people of the Samburu Tribe. It was a day we will never forget. The rides from one camp to the next were eye-catching as we saw many cities and countryside views of Kenya. The hot air balloon ride and bush champagne breakfast on the savanna were another highlight as we enjoyed the views of zebras, giraffes, buffalos and elephants nearby while eating a delicious meal. The camps were definitely luxury - way better than glamping. The Elephant Bedroom Camp was definitely our favourite as we were served delicious meals while watching the elephants bath in the river. The Beach Resort was absolutely beautiful with it’s numerous pools cascading down to the Indian Ocean. Matt and his wife Linda were with us on our trip and we thoroughly enjoyed the evening group reflections of the day and Matt’s messages which brought even more meaning to our experience. The photos we have are truly breathtaking and a treasure of the most amazing trip ever! Thank you Tapestry of Africa. We are so happy that we chose you!!

Michael is an experienced & patient guide whose love for nature is infectious!
I thoroughly enjoyed my hiking & camping experience with Adventurego Hiking and Safaris! The Mt. Kenya hike was my first hike in a long time, and my first ever camping experience. Micheal was communicative in preparation for the hike (i.e., informing me of what I would need for the hike, and answering the questions that I had); during the hike he would alleviate my anxieties (it was a challenging hike, and I did experience some altitude sickness). Micheal made sure that none of us in the hiking group was left behind "leave no hiker behind". He is knowledgeable about nature and every so often he would share a fun fact about a plant, or an animal - you can tell he relishes the outdoors. Michael is also personable which made the hike all the better! I thoroughly enjoyed my hike, and I am looking forward to my next hike with Adventurego Hiking and Safaris!

Axis Africa Safaris gave us an amazing adventure
We had an absolutely wonderful safari experience with Axis Africa Safaris. Our guide, Charles, was outstanding – very kind, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced. He is also a highly skilled driver who always made sure we had the best possible spots for viewing wildlife. We also noticed how supportive he was toward fellow drivers in the Masai Mara, helping them get out of the mud when they got stuck.
The program itself was fantastic! One highlight we would recommend to everyone is the boat ride on Lake Naivasha – it was an amazing experience that added something truly special to the trip.
Overall, we had a great time and would wholeheartedly recommend Axis Africa Safaris and Charles as a guide to anyone looking for an unforgettable Kenyan safari adventure.

70 th Birthday Egyptian Tour
This was our second experience of travelling with ExplorePlus Tours after Serengeti two years ago. The didn't disappoint us with this tour. It was fantastic. Arrangements were superb. The accommodation was excellent, especially on the Nile cruise and the last night next to the Nile. The organisation from Mariska to Adel and Ramis was first class with no hiccups. Mariska was a star with her sparkling character and organisation. Adel with his amazing knowledge of Egypt and heiroglyphics was the best story teller and source of information. He always had a sparkle in his eye, a super person. Ramis was an organiser extraordinaire. The tour was very well arranged to ensure a great experience and understanding of Egypt and it's ancient civilisation. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in visiting Egypt. The small group format was perfect. Thanks to all involved from ExplorePlus.

The tour operator was communicative, professional and our tour guide Shaddy was amazing
Our 5-day safari in Kenya was absolutely unforgettable. We spent 3 days in the Masai Mara and 2 days in Amboseli, and every single day felt like something out of a nature documentary.
A huge part of what made the experience so incredible was our guide, Shaddy. His knowledge of the parks and the animals was outstanding. He seemed to know exactly where to go and when, and he shared fascinating insights about animal behaviour, the ecosystem, and the Masai culture throughout the trip. It felt like we were exploring with a true expert who genuinely loves what he does.
Thanks to Shaddy’s skill and patience, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five during our safari, including an incredible sighting of a leopard. Some of the most memorable moments were watching lions high up on a hill with their cubs, and witnessing another pride feeding on a buffalo. We also had amazing close-up views of elephants and other wildlife in their natural habitat. The positioning of the vehicle was always perfect for photography and viewing, and we never felt rushed.
Both the Masai Mara and Amboseli offered spectacular landscapes and unforgettable wildlife encounters. The vast open plains of the Mara and the iconic views of Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli made the experience even more special. We consistently had incredible views and magical moments that we’ll be talking about for years.
If you’re considering a safari in Kenya, I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. With Shaddy as your guide, you’re in the best possible hands. It was truly the trip of a lifetime.

Very professional
We had an amazing safari experience thanks to Safari Bookings! From the very beginning, their support in planning was outstanding - they were always responsive, helpful, and attentive to every detail.
They matched us with an excellent guide, Frank, who truly made our trip unforgettable. His deep knowledge, sharp instincts, and ability to find animals made every day exciting and full of discoveries. A special thank you, Frank!
Everything was perfectly organized, smooth, and stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!

Fabulous!!!
What an amazing safari!! Up country adventures hit it out of the park!! They provided great service every step of the way. Our driver Lawrence was wonderful. He was so patient. Could answer any question we asked about anything safari related. He had eagle eyes to see things we never would have seen. He would stay put as long as we wanted to take pictures and just breathe in the Serengeti air. He also drove very safely over the washboard roads. We were able to see every one of the animals, the big 5, ugly 5 and everything in between.
Don’t hesitate to book a safari with up country you’ll be very well cared for. 💖
