personalised, attentive, flexible, good value
We were met at the airport by Charity who coordinated and interfaced with local guides and handled border crossings. She was helpful, friendly and gave us good recommendations re booking meal reservations. Our guides at the falls and in Botswana were excellent. I can recommend this experienced operator, reliable, coordinated a good itinerary with sufficient spare time and excellent activities with local guides.

Excellent
Our safari with Tapestry of Africa was absolutely AMAZING! We traveled as a large group, and they were incredibly accommodating and wonderful every step of the way. From the communication and planning to the hotels, meals, exciting game drives, exceptional staff, and everything in between, it truly was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will treasure forever.
We are a group of marathon runners from Florida called Friends In Training, who first traveled to Cape Town to run the marathon before continuing on to Kenya. The marathon was a big deal for us. For our final dinner in Kenya, the team surprised us with a special congratulatory cake for all of the runners! That thoughtful gesture meant so much to us and made an already incredible trip even more memorable.
Because of the size of our group, we were divided among four different vehicles, and every driver was exceptional. Their knowledge, professionalism, and dedication helped make the safari an unforgettable experience.
We love pictures and they were very accommodating even with that as well!
Our hike to Killimanjaro was absolutely incredible too!
We highly recommend Tapestry of Africa and are so grateful for the wonderful memories, and the exceptional way they took care of us ❤️

Efficient Detailed and Personalized
The trip to Tanzania with Chalo Africa ranks very high among the best I've ever had.
Thoughtfully selected camps. A neat itinerary. Safari rides and sightings you'd only seen on TV. Endless excitement. Thanks to the well chosen vehicles and their drivers and guides. Fascinating knowledge of wild animal behaviour.
Chalo Africa doesn't just provide you another well curated trip. It goes the extra mile to ensure your comfort and personal needs.
I'd had a misadventure some months prior resulting in an injured leg and had some serious misgivings!
I needn't have.
Thank you Chalo Africa team. You thought of everything! Even my hobbling slow leg!

Fantastic
From start to finish this has been a truly fantastic experience. Recommended by a friend and so glad we used these guys. From 1st email to drop off back in Nairobi this was a stress free experince. Dan was the best driver/ guide and made sure we had everything we needed at all times. He put up with my false animal sighting and being told to acha alot. (Stop). Accommodation and food has been brilliant. Fav has been serena sweetwater and Zebra Royal. . Serena was fav overall due to seeing Rhino, zebra , giraffe and buffalo all within 5mins of being there and i loved sleeping in the tent. ( they put hotwater bottles in the bed at night). Dan found us lion cubs, cheetah, lepard and all the others in btween. This has been the most magestical ( kiwi word lol) holiday ive ever done. Cant wait to come back. Ol pajeta and Masi Mara are the best reserves in my opinion. Xo

Trip of a Lifetime
Thank you Michelle for putting our trip of a life time together for us. It was perfect. From the places we stayed to the food we ate and the people we met, we could not have been more pleased. The 4 camps were above and beyond all expectations. I can't believe how close we were to the wildlife and how much we experienced. I especially liked all the baby animals on Mothers Day. Celebrating our anniversary of 20 years was beautiful. We will not hesitate refering more friends and family through you so they too can enjoy Africa in style.

An Unforgettable Safari Experience - Highly Recommended
My girlfriend and I just returned from a safari with Akondo Adventures and it genuinely exceeded every expectation we had.
From the very first day, the team showed us what kind of company they are - I lost my wallet shortly after arrival and Boris went out of his way to help me sort everything out. That kind of personal care and genuine support is rare and it set the tone for the entire trip.
The camps were absolutely stunning. Beautifully located, comfortable and with a real sense of being immersed in the wilderness rather than just visiting it.
Our guide Richard and his driver were outstanding - deeply knowledgeable about the wildlife, ecosystems and local culture, while remaining respectful, patient and great company throughout. You could tell this wasn't just a job for them.
Communication before and during the trip was smooth and reliable and the value for what was delivered was excellent. Every detail felt considered.
If you're looking for a safari experience that combines professionalism with genuine warmth, Akondo Adventures is the one. We are already talking about coming back.

4.5 out of 5 stars. Overall, good experience. Recommended.
The entire trip is amazing, and we watched many beautiful animals in many national parks. David is very supportive before and during the trip. Whenever something happens in the trip, we can communicate with him to resolve it. This makes our trip has a better and joyful experience. The guide in Tanzania, Godfey, is super professional. He is very patient and shared interesting knowledge about animals and cultures. We can feel his passion on this job. As we are bird watchers, he stops the vehicle if we spot some interesting birds, and he searches for the field guide to show us what kind of bird it is. He also drives very safely during the entire trip in Tanzania. We really appreciate it. We believe he is one of the best guides.
I also would like to suggest few points that can be improved in the future, and I believe the agency is proactive to take these suggestions seriously to make the trip even better: (i) To prevent inconsistent understanding for the arrangements, provide more details in the itinerary before the trip. Clients may have different understanding on the "group trip", for example, transportation arrangements between two points and how the schedule adjusts accordingly. (ii) Appropriate accommodation options: We understand the group trip needs to coordinate with different travelers. An upgraded hotel we chose is far from the other one for other travelers, which makes everyone’s schedule not easy to be coordinated. Perhaps, limiting the upgraded accommodation options to ensure they are in the proper distance can resolve it. Or, ask the clients if they want to stay longer or shorter in their accommodation. For example, we would like to stay in our upgraded hotel with a longer duration, but we need to wake up early because we need to drive to the other accommodation for other travelers in the same group. If more details can be provided before the trip, we may be able to coordinate it better. (iii) One guide is unprofessional: The contracted guide in Kenya we met is an unsafe driver, who takes over the car even the opposite lane is not clearly visible. He does not elaborate much during safari and has some unprofessional behaviors. Fortunately, he has been dismissed to be the guide, so no worry about this point for the future clients.
In summary, I recommend this safari agency as they provide a good and comforable experience for us, and they can resolve the problems during the trip with communications.

Outstanding service and communication
Our safari by MoAfrica tours was absolutely perfect. Ruben was helpful, in constant communication and his reccomendations were spot on. We stayed at Kapama Karula and it was the nicest place we have ever stayed (and that is a lot!) The service, food, and especially the guides were wonderful. We saw the big 5 and all of the big 5 babies too. Food was 5 star. This turned out to be a good package and it was all we hoped it to be. Definitely a bucket list adventure!
