Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Leigh Josey
Great park for birding and other wildlife. We did not see the tree lions though. Not sure if there are any there anymore.

Had a great time. The trip was very well organized. The food, and nature were excellent, the staff was very friendly too. Highly recommend to anyone looking to spend quality time in Kruger.

Great safari and wildlife but…
Tanzania is an incredible country for wildlife and safari. The landscapes, animals and experiences were genuinely amazing and something we will always remember.
At the same time, poverty is very visible, and understandably there is a strong reliance on tourism for income. Unfortunately, the tipping culture became one of the biggest negatives of our trip.
Tipping was brought up incessantly throughout the trip, sometimes multiple times a day, and it often felt as though every smile, interaction or small gesture came with an expectation of a tip. It gets tiring very quickly and takes away from otherwise genuine interactions.
We tipped very well throughout our trip and have no issue rewarding great service. What we disliked was the constant expectation and pressure surrounding it. We are not American and do not come from a culture where customers are expected to effectively supplement everyone’s wages through tips.
Tanzania was spectacular, particularly the wildlife and safari, but the tipping culture was exhausting enough that it would make us think twice about returning. Businesses should pay their staff properly and allow tipping to be what it is supposed to be: an optional reward for excellent service, not an expected part of someone’s wage.

Hunt the big five in complete safety
Having a cautious guide with a hunter's instinct is the best, thanks James. Kentau is a precise and reliable operator, and Dominic was very helpful in designing a long and satisfying safari. The facilities are very good, except perhaps the tented camp in the Masai Mara, which is the most beautiful park and where I recommend spending a little more. Overall rating 9.5/10

What a great safari!! Best ever holder day!
Tanzania did not disappoint! Day 1 we saw the big 5. Day 2 we had seen the ugly 5 and the 9 big. The next 4 days bought amazing experiences seeing large herds of animals and the wildebeest migration. If you want a real safari you need to go to the Serengeti and its surrounding parks and crater! Absolutely fabulous Tour operator and fantastic country!

Highly professional and customer focused!
Kajie were incredibly professional and always responsive to all our questions, requests and changes. They arranged a fantastic itinerary tailored to our timelines and interests. The driver/guide and vehicle were fabulous and again m, our driver went out of his way to look after us and advocate for us at various activities such as primate tracking and birdwatching. We loved every minute!

Tapestry of Africa tours was a picture perfect experience
We had a great time on our tour visiting Parks in Kenya and Tanzania. Both our safari guide in Kenya, Masha, and our guide in Tanzania, Ernest, did a wonderful job in taking us through our park experiences. They worked really hard to make sure we got to see all the wildlife we wanted to see and were very knowledgeable. We learned a great deal about the wildlife, landscape, history and people of the regions. I would highly recommend this Safari tour company.

Jacqueline was a pleasure to deal with. The arrangements she made for me were perfect. She was extremely helpful, friendly and replied to all queries very quickly. I would absolutely book with her again.
