Luxury safari specialists seamlessly crafting unforgettable wildlife adventures & honeymoon magic
We booked our safari honeymoon through Tapestry of Africa in July, and from start to finish the experience was flawless.
Even though we only reached out about 8 weeks before our trip, Matt and Hilda worked tirelessly with us to design the perfect itinerary across Kenya and Tanzania, making sure we could see and do everything on our wishlist.
From the moment we landed in Kenya from London, we were warmly greeted by three members of the Tapestry of Africa team. We didn’t expect them to be there, as our safari didn’t start until the next day, but they had all turned up just to welcome us and drop us to our airport hotel. They were friendly, inviting, and expressed how grateful they were that we had chosen Tapestry.
The safari itself was beyond anything we could have imagined. We saw 4 of the Big 5 (leopards lived up to their reputation as elusive!), along with countless other species. Some of the most memorable moments were witnessing the Great Migration from multiple angles and seeing a lion pounce on a wildebeest. The accommodations were incredible throughout, with Lake Naivasha Sopa Resort standing out as our favourite - waking up to animals roaming around the lodge was magical. A personal highlight was getting up close with giraffes and zebras, which felt like a dream. At each accommodation, we were greeted so kindly by staff congratulating us on our honeymoon, which made the experience even more special.
The hot air balloon ride was truly once in a lifetime, and the team even arranged the day we did it to give us the best possible chance of seeing the Great Migration. Their goal was clearly to give us the most complete and unforgettable experience, making the entire 8.5 days feel truly special. They surprised us with honeymoon touches along the way - beautifully decorated rooms, extra merchandise, snacks, cakes delivered at meals (complete with a sing-song!) - thoughtful details that meant the world to us.
Our drivers were exceptionally knowledgeable, going above and beyond to make sure we spotted as much wildlife as possible and that we were comfortable throughout. Food at every stop was excellent, and the staff at lodges were warm and accommodating - even preparing packed lunches for our long days out. Everything ran like clockwork: people were ready to greet us at every lodge, and timing was always seamless.
At the end of our safari, Tapestry also arranged our flight from Tanzania to Zanzibar, which worked perfectly.
We are so grateful to the whole team, especially Matt and Hilda, for staying in touch from the very first quote through to the end of our trip. Thanks to them, our honeymoon was unforgettable - a true once in a lifetime adventure.
We honestly could not recommend Tapestry of Africa more highly.

Matt is respectful, enthusiastic and genuine and his mission is to deliver an unforgettable experience
From the very beginning, planning with Tapestry of Africa was easy and even fun. Matt and his team guided us step by step on what needed to be done ahead of time—everything from visas to packing tips—so we never felt overwhelmed. Every question we had (and there were many!) was answered quickly and thoroughly, which gave us so much peace of mind heading into a big international trip with our family.
Once we arrived, we felt safe and well cared for at every stage. Our drivers, George in Kenya and David in Tanzania, were not only skilled and reliable but also warm and personable—we still talk about them! The logistics were seamless, and we never had to worry about a single detail.
The safari itself was magical: a hot air balloon ride over the Maasai Mara, watching the Great Migration at the Mara River, full-day game drives in the Serengeti spotting everything from lion cubs to rhinos, biking through villages in Mto Wa Mbu, hiking to a waterfall, tasting coffee roasted over an open fire, and even enjoying a surprise birthday celebration for our boys. The mix of tented lodges and one luxury stay gave us a range of experiences, including an unforgettable boma dinner.
What made this trip even more meaningful is knowing that proceeds help fund dental clinics for underserved communities. With Tapestry of Africa, we not only created once-in-a-lifetime memories but also felt part of something bigger. We would absolutely plan another adventure with them.
An incredible experience
We went on safari to Tanzania and Kenya with a few days in Zanzibar and it was absolutely incredible.
All of tapestry of Africa staff were extremely helpful and remained in touch with us via whatsapp throughout the journey which was extremely useful for any queries we had.
The accommodation we stayed in was incredible, the views were insane, the food was fantastic and the quality of rooms was great.
Our safari guides were very friendly and very knowledgeable and the safari experience was unforgettable. We saw everything that we wanted to and couldn't recommend it more.

Incredibly adventure that lasted 23 days and covered Uganda Tanzania and Kenya.
Matthew and his team put together a 23 day dream adventure.
That started in Uganda with Francis where we went gorilla trekking in Bwindi and continued through Queen Elizabeth National Park and finished with chimpanzee trekking in Kibale National Park.
And continued into Tanzania where are guide David who drove us all over the Serengeti to find Loins, Zebras ,Giraffes, Elephants, Leopards,Impalas, Thomson Gazelle and many other animals and birds. And we stayed in some of the most fabulous locations.
And continued into Kenya with a new guide Alex who made sure we didn't miss anything From Amboseli National Park Samburu,Ol Pejeta Conservancy,Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and finishing off With the Maasai Mara National Reserve.
And we stayed in some of the absolutely unique beautiful places.
Thank's again for a trip of a lifetime.
Nathalie and Norman.

A wonderful experience
We just finished our safari with Tapestry of Africa and overall a great experience.
We felt the price was great and our accomodation was very comfortable, especially our last stay in Amboselli at the Tortellis camp. A note to others that there is a lot of driving involved and over some very rough roads so be prepared for that.
Also arrival times at some lodges are usually later than expected so again be prepared for this. Having said that we loved it all and were very happy with this company.

Tapestry had outstanding communication throughout our trip and a great personal booking experience.
Tapestry of Africa was the perfect choice for us.
After doing a group tour in southern Africa the previous year we realised that this time we wanted to maximise the time spent in the national parks with the animals so Kenya was perfect. I was looking for a longer trip, around 3 weeks, that was packed with safari days.
There were only a few companies I could find doing longer trips that included Tsavo N.P. We wanted to go to Tanzania as part of the trip, specifically the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. I found Tapestry on Safari Bookings as they had a perfect trip listed.
Tapestry had amazing communication and flexibility when booking, allowing me to get my dream trip to everywhere I wanted to go for a suitable budget and timeframe.
Matt at Tapestry will make sure your trip is exactly what you want, you won’t just be another booking as you will be with some other companies. We also contacted a larger company who were too pushy to get the sale, only focusing on telling us how many reviews they had.
We had separate guides and vehicles in Kenya and Tanzania but we had a great time in both. Our guides were both very experienced, friendly and professional (and we had a really great time with them). Thanks to the knowledge and networking of our guides, the overload of animals we saw made sure that our cameras were never put away.
We will go back for another trip in a few years and we will talk to Tapestry because they listened to what we wanted and we trust them to deliver a great trip.

Matt and Team are THE BEST !!! Highly recommend them for affordable prices and great experience.
When we decided to take our kids to Kenya and Tanzania this summer, I reached out to more than 15 tour agents. From the very first conversation with Mathew, we knew he was the right person to trust. Matt immediately understood our needs and tailored a 9-day itinerary that was perfect for our family.
He was incredibly responsive, answering all our questions with patience and guiding us through every step of the process, from visas and insurance to travel logistics, clothing, food, and more. No matter the time of day, Matt was always available for a quick call to clarify any doubts.
Matt also has an outstanding team. Albert, in particular, was fantastic. He worked closely with us as our travel dates approached, always available and willing to go the extra mile even helping us purchase a few essentials before we arrived in Kenya. His kindness and support made a big difference in our experience.
Hilda, on the other hand, is truly exceptional. She went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying every moment of our vacation. The campsites and lodges she arranged for us were not only beautiful but also incredibly comfortable.
Her thoughtfulness really stood out, she surprised me with not just one, but two birthday celebrations during the trip, which was incredibly heartwarming. When our return flights were delayed and we were left stranded at the airport, Hilda immediately stepped in. Even on a Sunday night, she managed to arrange comfortable accommodation for us, ensuring we were taken care of.
Her dedication and passion are clear; she didn’t treat us like just clients, but like family, making sure we were okay every step of the way until we arrived home safely :-)
Our guide in Kenya, Saami was truly outstanding. We learned so much about the country through him—his deep knowledge, passion for wildlife, and insights into Kenyan history and culture made every road trip memorable. He kept us entertained and informed the entire way.
Thanks to his sharp eye and expertise, we were able to spot so many incredible animals. One of the most unforgettable moments was waiting with him for 90 minutes just to see a leopard climb down from a tree, leaving his kill on the tree. It was absolutely worth it and one of the highlights of our trip.
He’s not only an excellent guide but also a truly remarkable person.
Our guide in Tanzania, David, was equally impressive. Incredibly knowledgeable and reliable, he made sure we reached every destination on time and never missed a moment of the action.
One of the most unforgettable experiences with him was witnessing 3 or more lionesses hunt zebras and gazelle early one morning, an absolutely breathtaking sight. David has an amazing eye for spotting wildlife and seemed to always know exactly where to be. Thanks to our guides, we were able to spot the BIG FIVES
Above all, what truly sets these individuals apart is that they are not just tour agents or guides—they are genuinely kind and caring human beings. They went out of their way to ensure that every moment of our journey was meaningful and that every penny we spent was truly worth it.
What we thought would be a once-in-a-lifetime trip has now left us wanting to return again. Huge thanks to the entire team—kudos to each one of you, and to Tapestry of Africa for creating such an unforgettable experience to cherish for a lifetime.

Tapestry of Africa Tours and Safaris are outstanding with an excellent service!
Where do I begin, the safari was a 50th birthday gift from my husband, and I thank God that I came across Tapestry of Africa Tours and Safaris when I began looking into booking the safari, there were other tour operators that I came into contact with but, there was something about the warm, welcoming service I received from Matt, who was always on hand to answer any questions I had, at anytime. This is one of things that helped me in making my decision to book with Tapestry, also knowing that they are a company that gives back to the community was even more of an incentive for me to book with them. As the safari approached I was in contact with the team who assisted in guiding me every step of the way. Albert who kept in contact via WhatsApp to answer any further questions I had, and to let me know he would be the one meeting me at the airport, and checked in to make sure everything was alright. Hilda who made sure that our vaccinations and visas and insurance were done which was really helpful when crossing the border from Kenya to Tanzania, and on to Zanzibar, it made the process run smoothly, as I saw people who had to be stopped for not having their visas or insurance. She also kept in contact to make sure everything was going well and that if I had any issues, which thankfully I didn’t have I could let her know.
Let’s talk about the safari it was one of the most amazing experience's I’ve had thanks be to God! We spent 3 days in Kenya, 6 days in Tanzania and 3 days in Zanzibar. Our guides made it unforgettable experience starting with our Kenyan guide Ephantus who looked after us and made sure we were always comfortable and endeavoured to take us to the places where we had the opportunity to spot one the big five, which we did the first day we saw a rhino on the way to Lake Nakuru, the second day at the Masai Mara NP we saw the king of jungle up close feeding on his prey amazing, pictures really don’t do this experience any justice!
Our Tanzanian guides Eddy and David were outstanding and stood out! They always made sure we were ok and reminded us that they were always there for us. They made our daily long drives fun, entertaining and enjoyable the days went by too quickly. David and I shared the same faith so we taught each other worship songs from our churches amazing! They taught us the Jambo song which I love and can’t stop singing.
Not forgetting our Zanzibar guide Yohana who picked us up from the airport when we got to Zanzibar. We had a day to rest from our safari and then the following day he took us on a Stone town and spice farm tour which was a really enlightening. He picked us up on our final morning and dropped us to the airport.
I must add that the guides are all knowledgeable in their fields. The team are willing to go above and beyond to ensure an amazing experience. My husband had left the binoculars in the Kenyans guide car when we changed over to our Tanzanian guides, by the time he realised he had gone too far. The team arranged for it be delivered to the hotel we were staying at before our flight home.
To conclude I want to say a big thank you to the partners Matt, Albert and the team at Tapestry for making my 50th birthday safari experience an unforgettable one.

Amazing experience! Totally recommend!
I just finished a 10 day Kenya safari with Tapestry of Africa and could not recommend them more! From my first exchange with Matt, I could tell I was dealing with a professional company that care about client service. Responses to questions were always quick and complete. Matt took the time to understand my needs and helped craft an itinerary that would meet them. I was travelling with my wife to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary as well as a couple of friends. Everyone was extremely satisfied with the camps and parks. Matt’s team, notably Hilda and Albert were also checking in regularly to see if everything was going well and if we needed anything. Hilda also arranged for a lot of special recognitions of our anniversary at the different places we stayed. It was not expected so these touches really made the holiday extra memorable for us. I’ll also call out how even if we booked our pre-post hotels ourselves (outside our package), they still offered to organize transfers to and from the airport for us pro-actively which is another demonstration of client care. The last person I’d mention was Mbuthia (Peter), our guide and driver who is a man of few words but when you engage him in a conversation, he’ll go on as long as you like, share his thoughts and feelings about Kenya . He’s also EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE about each of the parks we visited, as well as the animals and birds we saw in each one. He was a good tracker and because of him we saw the big five and many other!
It was really an exceptional trip and I recommend using Tapestry of Africa without reservation! If you’re clear on your needs, they will make it a trip of a lifetime for sure!
