Amazing!!! Nick is very knowledgeable, always scouting for animals, excellent driver.
This was a trip of a lifetime. My husband and I celebrated our 45 th anniversary with Nick and our new friends. We asked to see lions, and Nick found them. Watched the elephants take morning walk in front of Mt Kilamojaro. So incredibly close to all the wild animals in their natural habitats. We would definitely do this trip again!!!

Phenomenal
This tour was incredible. I had been told by people who have been on safari that there is nothing like it, that it is life-changing. They were right. Witnessing the beauty and the raw power of nature is beyond compare.
Gofan Safaris provided this experience for us. Our tour guide/driver, Onesmus Mutunga is one of a kind. He was a wealth of information about every species and natural wonder. He patiently answered our questions, allowing us ample time to see everything, yet was still be mindful of the time to make sure we didn’t miss anything. It was easy to see that he loves what he does and enjoyed sharing everything he knew. He was also very careful—we always felt safe— and he saw to our every need while out on the reserve. The entire trip was comfortable and organized. The first day of safari we said hello to our guide. The day we left, we said good-bye to a friend. I highly recommend Gofan Safaris. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Best experience we've ever had
We loved the Lion King safari; it was a wonderful and unforgettable experience. We went for our honeymoon and enjoyed everything.
A huge thank you to Davidi, our Spanish-speaking guide, for making our trip so special every day. He was so helpful, we saw so many animals, including the Big Five, and we were thrilled. We highly recommend it!
Greetings, Javiera and Nicolas from Chile.

Professional and communicative
Extremely good value for money, with the operators, guides and contacts all being extremely knowledgeable and responsive. Everything ran smoothly, saw an abundance of wildlife, and reached everything on time
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!
