Professional, knowledgeable and kind in curating an extra special trip for our family!
Tapestry of Africa curated a 14 day safari in Kenya and Tanzania with private guides and luxury lodges. Matt worked with our family to develop a perfect trip; he met with us via Zoom to describe each day, showed excellent examples of our lodges with included meals, and educated us on how to prepare for the trip. Our Kenya driver/expert guide, Kim, picked us up in Nairobi and immediately started us off toward our game drive in Ol Pejeta Convervancy. Upon entering the gates, we immediately saw elephants, giraffes, zebra, then were amazed at a male and female lion walking right next to our vehicle, then stalking a warthog. Kim was professional, kind, and knowledgeable about all the animals and the best places to spy them. During our trip we spied 3 different leopards, which are typically elusive animals, but Kim guided us to them knowing where they typically stay. Each luxury lodge we stayed at was special with such friendly and expert service, beautiful accommodations, excellent and delicious food. We even took a hot air balloon ride over the savanna to see the animals and beautiful sunrise. Tapestry’s staff would keep in touch on a daily basis to make sure our needs were met. In addition to Ol Pejeta Conservancy, we went to Lake Nakuru National Park, Masai Mara National Reserve, then to Tanzania where our guide, Eddie, was equally knowledgeable and professional to guide us through Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, then back to Kenya with Kim to guide us through Ambroseli National Park. Everywhere we went, it seemed the animals seemed to come to us or walk right by our vehicle. We saw elephants, lions, hippos, rhinos, buffalos, zebras, giraffes wildebeest, hyenas, cheetah, leopards, warthogs, gazelle, meerkats, every kind of African bird, the beautiful Masai people, the famous baobab trees, ancient volcanoes and Mount Kilimanjaro! Our first trip to Africa captured our hearts and we can not wait to come back for our next adventure!

Highly knowlegeable, Professional, focused and a pleasure to be with throughout the 16 days
We were really happy with our birding guide Isaac and driver Baraka on our recent 16 day trip to northern Tanzania and the Usambara mountains. Isaac was very patient and a great teacher for us on East Africa birds. As a birder he is highly experienced and his fieldcraft was outstanding. He knows lots of hotspots intimately and he knows where and how to locate lots of highly restricted east African endemics. We found him to be impressive technically, and he was very comfortable to discuss races and potential splits and lumps. We found Isaac to be a dedicated professional - he does not like us to miss anything. He also enjoys having fun as well and the banter with him and Baraka was a very positive part of the trip. Most importantly we found them to be very good company over a pretty intense 16 day trip. Summing up, I would recommend Isaac to any serious birder wanting to see Tanzania and other parts of east Africa too. Credit too to Davis for the overall coordination of the trip. Together you all gave us a marvellous experience that we will long cherish.

An utterly amazing holiday extremely well organised
ASM travel and Arthur came highly recommended and this definitely proved the case.
We had a week in Zimbabwe - Victoria falls and Hwange national park.
Everything was seamlessly organised and adapted for what we wanted. Transportation was organised to and from everywhere including help at passport control. The team where brilliant including Last, Bothwell and PAul. The team were happy to help adapt any changes we requested.
We visited Victoria falls, completed safaris in Victoria falls, Chobe and Hwange national parks, went to angels pool and the wild horizons elephant sanctuary.
There were so many pinch me moments including watching elephants bathe and seeing leopards and cheetahs. Our hotels Victoria falls oasis and Hwange safari lodge were both brilliant. Tho Hwange is a several hour drive it is definitely 100% worth it!! All transportation is organised by Arthur. This exceptional organisation means you have nothing to do but enjoy your holiday. This was one of my favourite holidays and i did not want to leave.
Would not use anyone else in the area
EXCELLENT SAFARI, EXCELLENT GUIDE
Serengeti Smile was an incredible company to work with from start to finish. Godian was very helpful and communicative during the planning process and when we arrived to Tanzania. Our safari was the most amazing experience we have ever had! Our guide, Pius, was INCREDIBLE. He was so knowledgable, kind, communicative, and patient. Spending the week with him on our safari was so memorable, and we could not have asked for a better guide and safari company. Pius taught us so much about the environment, the animals, the national parks, and the great migration. He went above and beyond so we could see the big 5. Throughout the week, we had excellent food, stayed in beautiful lodges, and met the kindest people along the way. Since returning to the US, we have already recommended Serengeti Smile and Pius as the guide, to our friends and family who plan on doing a safari in Tanzania next year. 10 stars!

Reliable, well-organized safari operator with expert guides and unforgettable experiences.
We had an absolutely unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania, visiting Serengeti, Lake Manyara, and the Ngorongoro Crater.
The entire trip was very reliable and exceptionally well organized from start to finish. Our guide, Libe, was very friendly, highly professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. Thanks to his practical experience and deep understanding of the wildlife and national parks, he always brought us to the best locations where we could observe many animals up close. He also shared fascinating information about the animals, their behavior, and the parks, which made the experience even more enriching.
Throughout the safari, we always felt safe and well taken care of with our guide. His expertise, driving skills, and attention to detail gave us complete confidence at all times.
This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that exceeded all our expectations. We would highly recommend this safari to anyone looking for an amazing wildlife adventure in Tanzania.

Trip of a Lifetime with Tallena Tours
Our family had an amazing experience with Tallena Tours. We traveled with our 15 year old son, and from the beginning, Mercy and Victor made the entire process easy and stress free. Throughout the safari, they checked in regularly to ensure everything was going well and that we were enjoying the experience.
The accommodations were excellent and perfectly matched what we were looking for within our selected budget. The Sopa Lodges in Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara and Heritage Luxury Camp in the Serengeti offered beautiful views, comfortable rooms, excellent service, and a wonderful safari atmosphere.
The food was outstanding, with buffet style meals offering plenty of variety and quality. We also appreciated the very complete lunch boxes provided on full day game drives, which made our days in the parks even more enjoyable.
Everything was exceptionally clean and well maintained, and the staff at every lodge were welcoming and attentive. The attention to detail throughout the trip was impressive.
A special thank you to Philip, our guide and driver, whose knowledge, professionalism, and dedication made the safari truly memorable. He worked hard every day to give us the best possible wildlife experiences.
Tallena Tours delivered an exceptional safari experience while staying within our selected budget. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a comfortable, well organized, and unforgettable family safari in Kenya and Tanzania.

Excellent 3 day safari
As medical students from Norway spending time in Africa for our exchange program, we wanted to experience a safari, and choosing Utukufu Travels and Adventures was one of the best decisions we made.
Exaudy and his team provided exceptional service from start to finish. His knowledge of wildlife was incredible, and everything was organized perfectly. We always felt welcomed and comfortable around the team, whose hospitality went above and beyond.
The accommodations and food were amazing, and every hotel was chosen with great care. We will definitely encourage the next group of students coming to Africa to book their safari with Utukufu Travels and Adventures.
