Tapestry of Africa surpassed my expectations in every way.
I am 75 years old and this trip to Kenya was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. Not only were my many questions answered with additional information, the response came back immediately! I felt as if I was their only client! Matt, Albert and Hilda were a wealth of assistance and information. Traveling with two friends, we all had difficulty in obtaining our visas. Hilda magically made it happen. Matt made me feel like I was a friend, not a client. Albert answered every logistical question with ample information and a welcoming spirit. Meeting other staff members upon arrival (Cleah and Elizabeth) was absolutely delightful! This company has assembled a very strong team of kind, efficient and extremely dedicated individuals. Every request made, including changing accommodations as well as an uncomfortable mattress (!!) was promptly taken care of! They even made sure I had a step-stool to climb into the vehicle!
The pacing was perfect, packing many adventures into the day but always being reminded that we had the option to take a break if needed. We were also presented with optional activities such as a hot air balloon flight and visiting a Maasai village. Both were incredible experiences!
Our group had the pleasure of having Matt lead the trip. His evening sessions were so informative and inspiring to me - and his love of Africa is contagious!
The driver/guides were incredibly knowledgeable, kind and entertaining. They made certain that we saw every animal that we came to Kenya to see and we felt very confident in their driving skills, even when rushing to a site where a lion was spotted!!
We were happy with both the very fair pricing and the itinerary for this tour. The company accommodated our wish to extend for several days and took care of every aspect of the extension. When we wanted to add some last minute excursions in Nairobi, Albert himself was the tour guide!
The Tapestry of Africa family goes above and beyond in every way. We could not be happier with this most amazing trip and company. Important fact: all proceeds past expenses are used to build medical facilities in East Africa. When I was told about this mission, there was no question which tour company we would choose. Tapestry of Africa is the best!!

An experience of a lifetime
Our 9 days in Tanzania was flawless, everything went as planned. Our driver guide, Liberatus, was fantastic with his knowledge and driving skills.
During our 3 day stay in Haydom ,which is a 7 hour drive from Arusha, where we visited Haydom Lutheran Hospital and the Hazabe tripe.
Liberatus driving skills were really put to a test on the way to the Hazabe tribe. We found the well hidden tribe with the help of 2 of my old colleagues from the hospital. My 3 grown children got an amazing experience.
The following 5 days were spent on safaris in 3 different parks where we saw the big five. The highlight was the lions close up and the migration in Serengeti. The tent camps were an experience with the animal sounds at night.
From Serengeti to Zanzibar by plane with one night in Stone town where we stayed in Freddy Mercurys house. The following 5 days in Nungwi..
Downside here was a mixup in accommodations, but this did not spoil our overall experience.
The 16 day Tanzania/Zanzibar trip was an experience of a lifetime as I was able to show my children where I lived and worked in 2007-2008.
This was a custom tailored trip and Benson Safaris did an excellent job and I am forever grateful for this adventure.
Benson Safaries is a locally based company and I would highly recommend them.

An extraordinary experience with lasting memories
We felt well advised by Morning Star, both during the planning stages and throughout our trip. Our guide and driver was extremely knowledgeable and a very pleasant companion.
We also had a brief opportunity to meet the people at Morning Star who handle the work behind the scenes. We appreciate their approach of supporting local communities. Based on our experience, we can certainly recommend Morning Star with confidence.

Professional and experienced
We booked eight days of safari trip with Jocky. The process is simple - they showed me a trip plan, quote a price, I submitted my request and paid $100 for deposit. I paid the rest by cash the day arrived at Nairobi.
Our tour guide is Dennis. He is very professional and experienced. Animal finding is not an easy job, but Dennis took us to see Leopard hanging food on the tree, Leopard met with Lion. He know the lion family. Very knowledgeable on animal species in Masai Mara. We have a great time! Highly recommend to book with Jocky tour and strong appreciation to Dennis’s kind service during the safari trip.

Phenomenal safari from start to finish. Our guide was an expert tracker — we witnessed a rare leopard hunting a serval and stunning elephant herds against Kilimanjaro. Seamless, well-planned, truly unforgettable.

The most knowledgeable and accommodating tour group, who will give you a trip of a lifetime.
From the moment we decided we wanted to go on safari, my wife started looking she kept going back to African Hagyko and it was a fabulous choice. We started planning a year in advance Bernard answered every question very quickly. He helped with everything from booking our accommodation before the safari and planning our first day to introduce us to Kenyan before the safari began.
Our guide Harrison was very knowledgeable on everything from the animals to Kenyan culture, which I enjoyed immensely. With his many years of experience we were able to see the big five and so much more. I was especially thankful to Bernard and Harrison for taking complete care of us the entire time. They gave me a new nickname of Topi because I took lots of naps, we had so much fun can’t wait to do it again. Thank you for such an amazing experience
