Our tour guides were top notch, extremely knowledgeable, and seriously so much fun to hang out with!
Our group was in Africa for 2 weeks. Matt helped organize our guides where we had no hiccups at all. We were picked up and taken care of from the very beginning, to the very end. We had long drives to get from one place to the other, but we had some really fun stops along the way to break up our hours in the car. I thought we were doing safaris most of the time, but we did village experiences, hot air balloon rides, an equator stop, gorilla trekking, chimpanzee trekking, orphanage and school experiences, and incredible talks in the vehicles! Our guides were with us every step of the way, and were so much fun to get to know! I was told by so many of my friends, to be prepared to sit and be bored. That was NEVER the case with us. Our guides were entertaining and laughing with us as, and they were just as excited to see the animals as we were, so they would drive with passion to get us the best view point for our pictures as possible! It was better than I ever imagined (and I had imagined amazing things)!!! I told my friends that I don't think I could go back to do another safari trip, because I don't know how you could top this one. Every place we stayed was just better than the last. It was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the people were so kind everywhere we went! I couldn't say better things about Tapestry of Africa Tours and Safaris! If you are planning a trip, this is your place!!!

Checked nearly every box
We had an amazing safari trip with Ian who was our extremely knowledgeable and helpful guide. We managed to see the big 5 and experienced lots of memorable sightings. Communication with the agency was easy. We stayed at the Governors camp which itself felt like a wildlife park and the staff was fantastic. Thank you for organizing a great trip for us!

Super Eagles were professional, flexible and good value & guide Alvin was great on birds and mammals
We were a party of six colleagues keen to experience Kenya's wildlife after attending a conference in Nairobi. We contacted Super Eagles after seeing positive reviews on this site. Charity in the office always responded promptly and helpfully to our queries, and was flexible when we gradually increased the number of guests from two to six. Our guide/driver, Alvin, was excellent. He picked us promptly each day, outlined the planned itinerary clearly, and was also flexible to our requested tweaks. He drove safely and competently on some very busy and potholed roads. As well as knowing the mammals, he was also good on birds, both spotting and identifying them. This had been one of our special requests, as several of the group are keen birders. Alvin kept in touch with other guides in the Masai Mara, which meant he was able to use the latest sightings to show us lion, leopard and cheetah, as well as great views of many other mammals and 180 bird species. We spent three nights at the Enchoro Wildlife Camp (a tented camp just outside Masai Mara NP), one night in a hotel near Lake Nakuru, and one night in a hotel near Lake Naivasha. Compared to some other operators, the tour was very good value and delivered as promised. I highly recommend both the company and Alvin.
Chalamia was knowledgeable, shared and taught us a lot. He is friendly, professional, full of energ
Ask for Chalamila as your guide. It will be great!

Excellent planning made for a magical trip
Shemeji Safari organised a private eight-day safari tour in Tanzania (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti) followed up by four days on Zanzibar for our group of four people. It was a magical experience that we thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish!
Accommodation: Although we selected medium lodges and tented encampments, the accommodation was of an extremely high standard. We were particularly delighted with our two nights at the new Kogatende lodge and the Lake Manyara Escarpment. The Reef and Beach Resort in Zanzibar also really exceeded our expectations! Staff were friendly and obliging. All lodges were equipped with free water, comfortable beds, good private bathrooms. Food was also good and varied.
Guide and vehicle: Our guide was Emanuel Sheremi and we were very pleased with his services. Knowledgeable about the animals, answered all our questions about the wildlife and Tanzania, good driving skills, willingness to alter start times to suit our needs and a very nice person! Thanks Manu for everything! The vehicle was good; it got us everywhere we needed to go!
Shemeji: Our agent Anastasiia and the rest of the Shemeji team were also very obliging and communicated well. One of our concerns was the fact that some members of our groups were seniors and not very mobile; Anastasiia helped alter the itinerary to best cater for their needs, such as flying to Zanzibar from Seronera rather than Arusha. This helped ensure a much more positive experience for all. Thanks Anastasiia!
A safari is an unmissable lifetime trip and Shemeji took care of us every step of the way!

Very Efficient Safari
We had a wonderful three-day safari with Beyond the Plains Kenya. Everything was punctual and well organized, and our guide, Douglas, was exceptional. He was an excellent and safe driver, even in Kenya’s chaotic traffic. His extensive knowledge of wildlife and geography made our Masai Mara experience unforgettable. He patiently answered every question, including scientific species names, and helped us capture incredible photos and observations.

Great！
The whole tour was great, but in some hotels, the internet didn’t work which caused a lot of trouble.

Amazing!
Beyond the Plains provided the best possible service on our three day visit to the Masai Mara. Our guide, Douglas Issa, was extremely knowledgeable about the landscape, animals (and their behaviour), and the local people (guides, reserve staff, local Masai people, everyone)! The wildlife at the Mara was unbelievable, as expected, but we also enjoyed spending some time visiting a Masai village. Could not recommend them enough. Their office staff (Fridah) was always in touch, making sure everything went according to plan and that we made it home safely. I was happy to support this Kenyan company and with them the best.

Unforgettable Tanzania Safari with Morning Star - Highly Recommended!
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Morning Star Tours & Travel. The itinerary was very well-designed, and the price was quite reasonable, offering excellent value for money.
We were incredibly lucky to witness a huge variety of wildlife. Some of the absolute highlights included the rare sight of a wildebeest river crossing, a buffalo giving birth, a cheetah feeding, and even five rhinos! These are truly once-in-a-lifetime sightings.
A special thank you goes to our amazing guide, Jackson. He is extremely professional, highly knowledgeable, and very friendly. His expertise and passion made all the difference. Thanks to his excellent guidance, everyone in our vehicle had an unforgettable and truly wonderful Tanzania safari experience.
We really hope to have the chance to return to Tanzania in the future!
