quick response. trustworthy.
A very pleasant trip and an extraordinary experience. Overall, the trip met our expectations, and the itinerary was consistent with what was agreed upon in advance. Chesi replied quickly and responded to our requirement in choosing the hotels. The deposit rate was lower compared to other travel agencies. It's worth noting that we had to pay an extra $90 per person upon arrival due to a park fee increase, despite booking one month in advance. Aside from that, everything was excellent.
The hotel matched the original booking, and our guide Richard（whose Massai name is Nkoile）was responsible and punctual in meeting us at the agreed locations. During the trip, we saw many animals, including all of the Big Five and four of the Ugly Five. We would miss the trip in the future.

Tapestry of Africa: professionalism, care, and passion for a dream journey through Africa.
I discovered Tapestry of Africa Tours and Safaris by chance, through an online search, but from the first contact with Matt, the owner, I knew I'd found the perfect company to organize our honeymoon in Africa. Matt was immediately kind, helpful, and attentive to every detail, instilling a sense of trust and professionalism that continued throughout the trip. After finalizing the itinerary and quote together, I began speaking with Hilda, who proved to be simply fantastic. Always available (at any time!), sweet, precise, and always ready to answer any of my questions—sometimes I truly felt like she never slept! She took care of every detail, making organizing the trip easy, enjoyable, and worry-free.
Our 7-day safari in Kenya was something we'll never forget. We stayed at incredible camps: Mutara Camp, Elewana Sand River Masai Mara, and The Cliff, each more spectacular than the last. All immersed in nature, with top-notch comforts and a welcome that made us feel pampered at every moment.
Knowing it was our honeymoon, the Tapestry of Africa team had plenty of special surprises in store for us: a bottle of champagne at each new camp, a massage overlooking the savannah, a romantic dinner in the bush under the stars, a hot air balloon flight, and even a walking safari. Every day a new experience awaited us, and every detail was designed to make us experience something unique.
Sincere thanks to Albert, who welcomed us and meticulously arranged all our transfers, and to Peter, our driver: kind, punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable. Despite our difficulties with English, he always managed to make himself understood with a smile and a contagious passion for Kenya's nature and wildlife. Thanks to his experience, we were able to see every animal.
After the safari adventure, we moved on to Zanzibar for seven days, where we stayed at the magnificent Zuri Zanzibar, one of the most beautiful resorts on the island. Here, too, everything was perfectly organized, a perfect conclusion to a trip that could only be described as "dreamy."
In short, Tapestry of Africa Tours and Safaris exceeded our every expectation. It's rare to encounter such a professional, genuinely kind, and caring team.
A heartfelt thank you to Matt, Hilda, Albert, and Peter for making our African dream a reality, filled with emotions, smiles, and memories that we will cherish forever. ❤️
If you're thinking of going on a safari or a trip to Africa, look no further: trust Tapestry of Africa Tours and Safaris. They'll guarantee you an authentic, safe, and unforgettable experience, just like ours.

Professional
We worked with Anton at Ongeri Expeditions to help us create our dream East Africa trip! We gave him a rough idea of our dates, activities, and destinations we had in mind. He created a fabulous starting itinerary from which we had many zoom calls to help tweak the outline to be perfect. When the trip finally came it went off without a hitch and we truly had the trip of a lifetime. We're incredibly grateful for Anton and his passion, flexibility, and knowledge that made it all happen. We would certainly use Ongeri again and will be recommending them to our friends and family. Thank you again, Anton!

Highly recommended!
Spending a week in Ruaha National Park with Widman Tours & Safari was truly a highlight of our trip. The park's rugged beauty and remote location offered a unique wilderness experience. The flights and transfers were smooth, and the team was very attentive.
Our game drives in Ruaha were extraordinary, with sightings of elephants, lions, cheetahs, and countless bird species. The landscape varied from open plains to lush riverbanks, making each day exciting and different. The guides' expertise enriched our understanding of the ecosystem.
Every moment in Ruaha was memorable, thanks to the excellent service and personalized attention from Widman Tours & Safari. This safari is perfect for adventure seekers and wildlife enthusiasts alike. Highly recommended!

Wonderful Tanzania
We have just returned from a 12-day safari in Tanzania: Tarangire, Manyara, Lake Natron, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti all the way to the North to witness the migration.
Safari Avventura organized everything perfectly down to the smallest detail — nothing was left to chance. The lodges where we stayed were of excellent quality, comfortable, and staffed with warm and welcoming people.
Our guide throughout the tour, Calvin, is truly a special person — extremely knowledgeable, always available, attentive to every need, and patient in answering our countless questions. He taught us so much about the animals and Tanzanian life.
With tireless passion and contagious enthusiasm, he made it possible for us to see an incredible number of animals in all kinds of situations. All of this made our vacation truly unforgettable.

Awesome local-run tour company with a knowledgeable team.
We had a great private tour for our safari. They coordinated our stay in Nairobi the first night, picked us up the next morning, and then drove us out to the Maasai Mara for the Wildlife Tour. Our driver, David, was an experienced driver with over 20 years as a tour driver. I highly suggest visiting Lake Nivasha for the “Walking Safari” as well. I would recommend you to be confirm your arrangements via email and you may have to reach out to your hotels directly for a peace of mind, but this company is legit and their pricing was fair. I would definitely book with them again.

Our tour operator was amazing. We had a great time with him.
We had a 5 day Safari organised by Ozonlighttours. It was an amazing experience and we had a really great time. Our Safariguide was Prayer. We were really amazed on the knowledge from our guide. He always made sure we got the best spot for our pictures of the animlas and he gave us enough time to watch the animals. Prayer was a great guide and we had a amazing Time with him.

Our guide Prayer
We had a truly woulderful expirience on the safari. Everything was very well organized from the hotel accommodation to the lunch during the safari. This made the trip smooth and very enjoyable.
The highlight of the safari (next to the animals) was defintely our guide Prayer. He did everything to ensure that we had the best possible expirience. He took the time to search for animals and explained things with great patience. We always felt very safe and well taken care of. His kindness, humor and attention to our needs made the trip unforgetable. We will come back, so thank you for this fantastic expirience!

Great custom-made safari
We (4 people) spend 2 weeks on a private, custom-made Safari in Kenia and Tanzania with Roadside. A quick summary is that we had a wonderful time and definitely recommend them to anybody who wants a great experience.
Getting everything organized was easy and efficient, Zephania was very quick to answer all our questions and provide us with updates. We were able to take his base idea for the itinerary and customize it further to suit our needs - we added a park, added a night here and there, removed one stop as we had done it a few years back, nothing was ever an issue.
Once on the safari, everything went smoothly and according to plan. We were joined by three different guides (one at the beginning in Kenia, then one in Tanzania, and then another one in Kenia) and all of them were very flexible: if we wanted to set off a bit earlier, it was possible; if we wanted a full-day game drive without going back to the lodge for lunch, it was possible as well. In general, we stayed in the parks full days most of the time, and it was always possible. We are photographers with big lenses, and the guides were understanding and cooperative in terms of stopping the car for the best angles and lighting. They also seemed very passionate about their work, and we even got a few extras during our time there that were outside of our itinerary (shout out to Keffa for the second game drive in Nakuru and the boat ride in Naivasha). A very special thanks to Man man (Walter) for his enthusiasm and relentlessness, he really did all physically possible to show us what we desired to see (gnu crossing the Mara river!), and he always delivered. He was one of, if not the best, guide we've ever had, anywhere.
We are already planning on going back in a couple of years, and if we do, Roadside will definitely be the company we will contact to organize everything again.
