The perfect combination of adventure, luxury, and excellent customer service
From start to finish, this Kenya safari exceeded every expectation I had. The itinerary took us through an incredible variety of parks and reserves, each with its own landscape, rhythm, and wildlife personality. One moment we were watching elephants wander across the savannah, and the next we were quietly observing big cats in their natural habitat. The sheer range of animals we encountered made every game drive feel like I was living in “Planet Earth.”
What truly elevated the experience, though, was our guide, George. He wasn’t just a driver—he was a master driver, spotter, and photographer all in one. His knowledge of the parks, animal behavior, and local culture added depth to every moment. Thanks to him, we never felt like passive observers; we were participants in something extraordinary.
The camps and resorts were equally impressive. Each one blended comfort with authenticity, offering warm hospitality, beautiful design, and thoughtful touches that made us feel both pampered and connected to the environment. Elephants Bedroom was a particularly immersive experience with up-close encounters with elephants, monkeys, and even a crocodile!
But perhaps the most remarkable part of the entire journey was the level of customer service and communication. Every detail—big or small—was handled with care, clarity, and genuine warmth from Matt and his team. From the planning stages to the final farewell, I felt supported, informed, and valued. It’s rare to find a company that operates with this level of professionalism and heart.
If you’re considering a safari in Kenya, look no further than Tapestries of Africa.

This was a fabulous safari!
My daughter and I had a really fun and memorable adventure with Axis Safari. Our guide, Khalifa, went out of his way to make sure we saw as many animals as possible with excellent opportunities for great up-close photos. He had a wealth of knowledge about the animals, the Masai people and their culture. He was always a safe driver both in the parks and on the Kenyan roads. All of the mid-range luxury price level 4 lodges and food were excellent. I would definitely do this trip again with my whole family.

Great
Well organised ride, flexible and friendly staff. Buses are well equipped, however sitting above wheel whell is very uncomfortable, should be accounted for.

Uhuru peak with Taste of Kilimanjaro, a dream come true
Our trip to the top of Kilimanjaro was planned by our son (23) for myself (62), my wife (61) and him. He communicated with a lot of companies, and selected Taste of Kilimanjaro. We don't know other companies, but it would be difficult to beat this one. Edwin is incredibly nice and responsive, everything happened exactly as we were told, so our expectations were met and so much more. The day before the climb, Edwin and our lead guide, Chewu, showed up at our hotel and very carefully checked all the gear items for each of us. Chewu was incredibly meticulous, leaving nothing to chance. We ended up renting a few additional items, it would have been possible to rent everything, in fact, but we had brought most of our stuff. The next day we started for the northern route (9 days). It was not easy, as I am not particularly fit, but every day turned out to be fabulous. Half way through the hikes, in the middle of nowhere, we would find a table set up with tablecloth, tea coffee and snacks. We were treated like royalty. Tents and meals were outstanding. The day of the final climb is super difficult, there is no way around it. The two guides were absolutely fantastic and made sure each of us was successful. This was a dream trip, a memory of a lifetime with a top notch team. After the top, we came back down in a day and a half. Fairly easy, but hard on the thighs and knees. Be prepared for that. Overall, I could not imagine a better outfit than Taste of Kilimanjaro.

Best trip ever
Beyond the Plains Safari made our experience amazing and wanted to come back, they take care of everything we dont have to worry about anything. The guide is very professional and provide a lot of information, we did 7 day safari trip on 3 different hotels and was amazing. I highly recommend it to other travelers looking for a street free trip and a good value.
The entire crew of Beyond the Plains we meet was very kind and professional,
Definitely coming back and booking with them again in a few years from now.

Highly enjoyable tours led by true professionals
They took us as close to Nature as possible (Safety first) and we could see lots of species of animals. Not only the big Fives but all sorts of birds (eagles, vultures, marabouts, butterflies and chameleon.)
We also had a chance to meet traditional culture, when singing and dancing with people from a village or the camp site. Very warm and moving expériences.
