Safari Trip of a Lifetime!
We booked an 11 night safari tour through Passionate Guides Tanzania. We booked almost a year in advance and had constant contact with Catherine, from their office, right until our safari began. Our questions, which were many at times, were always answered promptly and accurately. The owner of the company met with us the night before we were picked up and provided great information regarding what to expect. We had three different drivers because we started in Kenya, went into Tanzania and then back into Kenya. Each driver was different but each had tremendous strengths and each one wanted to make our game drives the most memorable that they could be. Their experience allowed them to go to the perfect place, every time, to get the best views and photographs of animals while not being disruptive to them. The drivers were professional, courteous and full of information. We loved them all but especially loved Wiston, whom we are still in touch with. He became part of our family during our time together. The cost of the safari was well worth our experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat. It was less expensive that I would have thought for everything that we got-private drivers/tour guides for the entire time, lodging, meals, bottled water and beginning and end transportation to/from Nairobi. I highly recommend Passionate Guides Tanzania and would not book with anyone else!

Great experience !
I did not have a lot of time to spend in Tanzania, and Ericah put together a perfect tour for me. We did the Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park and Lake Maynara. I wanted to see hippos and our guide Joffrey made sure I had plenty of time to spend just watching the hippos. The food was plentiful. The lodges were all welcoming and had good vibes. We were well taken care of and I feel it was a great value for everything that we did. It was easy and stress free. We saw way more than just hippos, too!

Simply fantastic
The whole experience was smooth and amazing. Omar, our guide was very kind, knoledgeable and on point with everything. We really enjoyed our time and Brian handled the booking very professionally.
The safari itself was incredible, on our first day of our first safari we managed to see countless elephants, zebras, gazelles, impalas, giraffes and three groups of lions and dulcis in fundo a leopard.
I don’t think we could have hoped for a better time.

Go to Kenya! Make memories, and a go with a private Tapestry of Africa tour. 5 stars is not enough.
Our family of four recently took a safari trip to Kenya with Tapestry of Africa. With an 11-year-old son and a 13-year-old daughter, we had the most amazing experiences, this trip easily ranks in our top three best vacations ever.
We love to travel, and Tapestry truly outdid themselves by taking all the worry out of planning and preparing for such a big adventure. Thank you for all of your help, Matt, Albert,Hilda and Elizabeth. Also a very special thank you to the best safari guide in Kenya, Vincent! If there is an award for best tour guide in Kenya, he would have 20 trophies (he has been doing this for 20 years lol).
A Tapestry safari in Kenya is a private tour where you stay with the same guide for the entire trip. I'm convinced this is the way to go, unless you're traveling across multiple countries, I think you have to get a new guide when you cross a boarder. We absolutely loved the private experience, Vincent provided us with a wealth of details about each location and fascinating animal facts. Vincent is the AI of safaris!
I cannot recommend this trip highly enough, especially for families with young children. There's a quote I'm pretty sure is from a movie, but it rings so true: "We're just here to be memories for our kids." I promise you that going on a private safari in Kenya with Tapestry of Africa will create some of the most cherished memories for your children and your family.
A few tips:
We loved the glamping-style accommodations, particularly the Elephant Bedroom and The Cliff. They cost a bit more, but every penny was worth it.
If you can swing two nights at The Cliff, do it.
Lake Nakuru is smaller, but it's well worth a two-night stay, it was one of the nicest places we stayed during the entire trip.
Also watching Matts travel videos and meeting him in a Zoom is what sold us on using Tapestry, I could feel the care that he and everyone i worked with at the company. They wanted to do anything possible to help you be safe and have a great time.

Life memories
This trip was magical, our family loved everything about the trip. Our guide Moses was amazing, Neema who guided me through the booking process and arranging the tour was also amazing. The trip was excellent value for money with the Accomadation being a huge part of making the trip so memorable, it felt like a scene from out of Africa.
All three national parks where above what I was expecting, we seen all of the animals you can imagine and more.
Moses tended to our ever want a need and was an excellent guide. He was a legend for the amount of miles he drove in all conditions.
I have zero bad to say about this tour and Serengeti African tours.

The best tour operator ever, wouldn't change anything!
We absolutely loved the tour. It was truly a unique and enriching experience. Traveling to Kenya as a family for a safari had always been a dream of ours, and it exceeded all our expectations. The accommodation, the food, the safari itself, and the breathtaking nature were all exceptional.
What made the experience even more special was the kindness and hospitality of everyone we met. We would especially like to highlight our guide, John, who became much more than a guide—he was a wonderful friend with whom we shared many unforgettable moments.
We also highly recommend the hot air balloon safari, which was a truly magical experience and one of the highlights of our trip.
Thank you for helping make our family dream come true.

accommodating & responsive
I designed my own tour & they were very accommodating, as well as provided useful advice. E.g. I didn't want to sit in a car for three whole days, and tried to include activities each day, including walking safari & canoeing. They responded to emails quickly. I went with them because amongst the companies I inquired with, they had the most attention to detail in addressing my request.

Professional team and incredible wildlife encounters
We attended the 3-Day Masai Mara Adventure group safari with Roju safari updates and had a fantastic time from start to finish. Rodgers from Sales Support ensured that the booking and communication processes ran smoothly and efficiently. He was really responsive and helpful before and after the booking. He carefully discussed the various safari packages and options available and answered all of our concerns about the trip details. His assistance instilled confidence in us and made planning simple.
Overall, the safari was well-organized and exceeded our expectations. We departed with incredible memories and would wholeheartedly suggest Roju safari updates to anyone looking for a well-managed and fun Masai Mara safari.
Thank you, Rodgers and Shadrack, for making our Safari experience so special.
