Excellent tour operator that will tailor your trip according to your desires
We spent 2 days in the Masai Mara and 1 1/2 days at Lake Nakuru. You will be able to capture the African Big five here. The tour was incredible and we saw an abundance of wildlife. Unfortunately, the wildebeest were not traversing the Mara River while we were there, but it is a hit or miss event. Our guide made sure we viewed plenty of wildlife. Spirit of Kenya tailored the tour to our personal level of comfort and the accommodations were spot on. I, personally, am a photographer and highly recommend renting the open sided land cruiser. The correspondence with S of K was excellent and thorough. Reserve your safari as far in advance as possible (A year ahead or even further), especially if you are going during the peak season.

Wild Wings Safaris helped us meet all of our hopes and dreams for this trip.
The trip arranged by Ilaria was seamless, filled with spectacular adventures, wonderful accommodations, and amazing guides for our journey. The time of year she recommended was perfect. It was so reassuring that all arrangements were made, including drivers and transfers, flights, and our excursions. Highlights for us, besides the kindness of the people in the countries we visited, were trekking in to see the gorillas and the amazing safari rides. The guides were all so friendly and full of history about their countries. We will definitely recommend Wild Wing Safaris to our friends and family who wish to visit.

Great Guide and a Truly Memorable Safari Trip
We had an unforgettable 7-day safari experience, and a big part of what made it so special was our incredible guide, Gerson. He is simply amazing—professional, knowledgeable, and always focused on giving us the best possible experience. Gerson has a sharp eye for spotting wildlife, drives smoothly and safely across all terrains, and shares rich stories not just about animals, but also about the landscapes and cultures we traveled through. By the end of the trip, it truly felt like we were on an adventure with a friend!
Mariam, our main contact for planning, was responsive and thoughtful. She suggested smart adjustments to our itinerary that reduced long transfers and gave us more time for game drives, making the experience even more enjoyable.
Every lodge and hotel was booked exactly as requested. We deeply appreciate everyone who made this journey possible—and we’re already dreaming about our next safari!

Unforgettable Experience
Cristina,
THANK YOU for all the details you arranged for us to enjoy our unforgettable safaris in the parks of Kenya and Tanzania. Everything you did is worthy of admiration.
The vehicle, the amenities, the hotels, and the meals were incredible. Our guides, in Kenya and Tanzania, made the difference.
Without a doubt, Africa is now among the best experiences we have had.
Thank you again, it couldn't be better.

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.

Dream experience
Probably the best trip that I had. Very well organised, Richard was a fantastic guide with a lot of experience and knowledge, giving a lot of details and finding amazing spots. All employees were super nice, I am super happy with the journey, I totally recommend. Just one recommendation, I would skip Lake Naivasha, but strongly recommend Masai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Diani Beach. If I would plan again I would choose to go to Samburu up north, or cross to Serengeti.

Perfect organisation of this wonderful Safari
We made a multiday Safari and had everyday new highlights. Our driver and guide knew everything about the animals, the best places and was very friendly and competent . The accommodations were really good, we loved the tented camping (glamping ) especially. You are in the middle of the natur, very comfortable with delicious food. The crew was extremely friendly in all the accommodations. We warmly recommend this safari with This organisation.

Unforgettable
We completed a 4 night 5 day tour. It was truly an amazing experience. Each day continue to impress us. Mike is very kind and professional who made sure we treated well. He cares about his guests Jonson was an outstanding guide. By the end he felt more like a friend. We felt blessed to have him as our guide He is knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. He made our experience. It is a smaller company but the fine details were what made this trip special. We selected a mid range safari and the accommodations did not disappoint us. This is worth every penny spent. Highly recommend Extreme Wilderness you will not be disappointed I would give higher than 5 Stars if I could

Satisfactory transfer service
Miscommunication between booking agency and transfer service which resulted in the driver arriving half an hour early. Outward bound driver was attentive but took a scenic route and drove too quickly for the conditions. Only one comfort stop, instead of the two mentioned in the itinerary. Home bound driver was overly friendly and enthusiastic, and although a competent driver, had to be asked to refrain from using and looking at his mobile phone while driving. Service ran half an hour late.

Off2Africa Travel was highly professional, very accommodating and, at all times, responsive.
Everything about the experience was excellent ... beginning with the ease of communication and the assistance with planning our itinerary. We dealt with Chloe, who was at all times responsive and helpful. Although we probably initiated the process later than we should have, Chloe managed to secure most of the accommodations and all of the guides we requested for the time frame we needed. The safari lodges were stylish. The jeeps were very comfortable. The guides were highly intelligent, knowledgeable and eager to share their expertise with us and to answer our many questions ... not only about the flora and fauna but also about life in Zimbabwe, the political situation, etc. I was accompanied on the safari by two of my college aged grandsons and none of us had ever been on a safari before. I chose this type of vacation because I thought it would be something the boys would like ... but to my surprise, I think I was more excited than they were to see the magnificent animals in their natural settings.
