Review about Khwai Concession by Marie
We had vehicle trouble so had very limited wildlife and scenic beauty. The local people were extremely helpful and accommodating in our situation.

Kenya is a real dream!
We had a great experience with the agency, despite a few hiccups (a strike, a bolt in the Jeep's tire, etc.).
The drivers were all highly skilled and knew the parks like the back of their hand! This really helped us spot all the wildlife, too.
We were also very happy with the accommodation—aside from the restrictions on electricity and hot water, but that’s standard throughout the country!

Unbelievable Uganda - Just book it!
I’ve been on many safaris in Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa etc however Uganda was by far my favourite. With the exception of rhino’s it has all the other big five with the added bonus of wild mountain gorillas and also chimps. I am a female solo traveller and I found Uganda to be very safe and welcoming. It’s also much better value than other countries. I found Uganda to be very quiet compared to other countries and never saw more than 6 safari jeeps together in a national park. I was very impressed with how ethical everything was, with the animals put first i.e. to see the gorillas you must wear a face mask and you’re limited to an hour with them. I cannot recommend Uganda enough, simply stunning.

Kenya is beautiful in culture, wildlife, and landscape.
My visit to Kenya was nothing short of spectacular! Every item on my hope-to- experience wish list was fulfilled. Although we did not see the Great Migration river crossing, we certainly witnessed hundreds of wildebeest and zebras heading that direction. (Be aware that the crossing experience is luck of the draw!)
Our August weather was great and varied dependent upon where we were - chilly in higher elevations, hot in lower and both rainy and dry. Glad that we heeded the advice to dress in layers.
Our guide/drivers were not only congenial and knowledgeable, they also made certain that we saw all of the animals, sometimes driving FAST over bumpy terrain when a call came in about a sighting.
All of the Kenyan people we experienced in the Nairobi hotel and the camps/lodges were very helpful, kind, and hard-working. It was truly a delight to make new “friends.”
We thoroughly enjoyed our Maasai village visit. It is true that you give money to visit and are expected to purchase crafts from the women, but we didn’t mind doing this in exchange for a front row experience. Plus, the funds help these people school their children. As former teachers, that was important to us.
We did not visit any other countries but there was plenty to do in Kenya alone. From exploring Nairobi to petting the last two remaining white rhinos at Ol Pejeta and enjoying fabulous views of Kilimanjaro with numerous stops in between, the 15 day safari went much too quickly! Our tour company, Tapestry of Africa, was outstanding in every category. This truly was an adventure of a lifetime!

Amazing wildlife, challenging driving, friendly and helpful people, awesome in total.
The wildlife viewing and scenery are superb. The people are very friendly and helpful. Our accommodations, camp sites were good with the ablutions exceeding our expectations. The lodges we stayed in were excellent, and we wished we could spend more time there. All in all an excellent trip and am ready to repeat it!

Professional efficient company with excellent communication and followed through from start to end
From start to finish the process was made so easy with the help of Andrew who was excellent with communications and everything I wanted for the Safari in the flow of it and details he remembered he was always available.
Douglas was our guide. He was superb and made this experience of a lifetime a reality with all the knowledge seeing all the animals, kindness and humour and professionalism.
For the whole trip all the hotels were lovely. The food was absolutely delicious and fresh each day. The staff was very attentive and everything was truly amazing.
I just could not believe that nine days just flew by
It was a most wonderful experience .
I would not hesitate to book with them again and they are lucky to have both Andrew and Douglas on board.

Mr William is an excellent organizer with leadership skills which harmonizer with his pleasant perso
After researching and reaching out to other tour operators I selected MR William's Tour Group. I found him to be a down to earth person who was always reassuring, polite and always responded to my calls and WhatsApp messages even at night times. He did not only offered reliable and affordable services but also dignity and respect to my religious and individual needs. His tour group leader and all his staff members were at all times pleasant, reliable, supportive and understandings. Generally I knew that I selected the best. You would not regret choosing Kilimanjaro Budget Safari. I did not!
