Echoes of the Plains - Journey to the Great Masai Mara

Day 1

Echoes of the Plains - Journey to the Great Masai Mara

Your journey begins in Nairobi with a transfer to Wilson Airport, where you’ll board a scenic bush flight to the Masai Mara National Reserve. As you descend over the sweeping savannah below, your safari truly begins. Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed by your guide and transferred to your lodge or camp, where time is set aside to settle in, enjoy lunch, and take in the beauty of your surroundings before heading out on your first game drive. Over the next two days, immerse yourself in one of Africa’s richest wildlife ecosystems. Early morning and afternoon game drives offer the best opportunities to spot lions, elephants, cheetahs, giraffes, and more. The Masai Mara is known for its incredible density of wildlife and dramatic landscapes, and each outing reveals something new — from predators on the hunt to peaceful herds grazing under the open African sky. Luxury tented camp located just outside Masai Mara NR (Kenya) All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Day 3

Echoes from the Savannahs - The Legendary Serengeti

After your final morning in the Masai Mara, you’ll transfer to the airstrip for a unique cross-border journey into Tanzania. This seamless transition includes a short flight to the border, followed by immigration processing and a ground transfer, before continuing by bush flight into the world-famous Serengeti National Park. Upon arrival, the landscape opens into vast, rolling plains that stretch as far as the eye can see. Spend the next two days exploring the Serengeti through guided game drives, where the scale and beauty of the ecosystem truly come to life. Known for its wide-open spaces and abundant wildlife, the Serengeti offers incredible opportunities to see large herds of wildebeest and zebra, along with the predators that follow them. Each day brings new encounters and unforgettable moments in one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations.

Day 5

Echoes from the Deep - The Majesty of the Ngorongoro Crater

Depart the Serengeti this morning for a scenic drive toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where the landscape gradually shifts from sweeping plains to the lush highlands of the crater rim. Upon arrival, you will descend into the crater for a picnic lunch set against one of Africa’s most breathtaking backdrops, surrounded by open grasslands and abundant wildlife. As you make your way down, anticipation builds for this extraordinary natural wonder. The Ngorongoro Crater — often called “Africa’s Garden of Eden” — is home to a remarkable concentration of wildlife. Herds of wildebeest, zebra, and buffalo roam freely, while lions, hyenas, and the rare black rhinoceros are often spotted. After an exciting afternoon game drive on the crater floor, you will ascend to your lodge on the rim, where a sunset dinner awaits with sweeping views over this unforgettable landscape.

Personalized, hands-on care. Treated like family!

Our 10-day African safari to Kenya and Tanzania was magical and memorable! We are so glad we chose to go with Tapestry of Africa because we were taken care of from the very beginning, from the video call to discuss itinerary options and prompt answers to every question (and there were a lot). The suggested accommodations were beyond expectations (even got the honeymoon suite at one - which was nice since we were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary) and the food at each of them was excellent - some offering à la cart and others buffet style, which made for a nice variety during our stay. Albert, Hilda and Matt were there checking in on us prior to the trip and throughout and our guides, Alex and Ernest, took care of us through each of the parks and made sure we saw animals and had a great time. We really loved having the pop-up roof Land Cruiser all to ourselves and the personalized care and insights that each guide provided. We were very happy with the time of year we chose to go - as the weather was not too hot or too cold and not crowded! The bonus of booking with Tapestry of Africa was the humanitarian efforts that the organization provides with dental care to underserved African communities!

A wonderful experience

We just finished our safari with Tapestry of Africa and overall a great experience. We felt the price was great and our accomodation was very comfortable, especially our last stay in Amboselli at the Tortellis camp. A note to others that there is a lot of driving involved and over some very rough roads so be prepared for that. Also arrival times at some lodges are usually later than expected so again be prepared for this. Having said that we loved it all and were very happy with this company.

The most caring and personal tour operators I have experienced.

I started planning my safari vacation a year ahead and after reviewing several operators, I chose to go with Tapestry of Africa. Initially it was because of the quick response to my many queries, their patience with my constantly changing itinerary and their ability to immediately understand that this was a dream vacation for my family and I. Matt, Albert and Hilda worked with me patiently for 8 months on the most suitable itinerary, best accommodation within my budget and the experiences I was looking for - meticulously planning every minute detail. Matt’s input was invaluable and he sent me photos and videos of places, accommodations and experiences that we could have. I was indecisive about Lake Naivasha and Matt took a video of his boat ride on the lake to show me what it would be like! I was not sure of the lodge in Amboseli and Matt sent me a personal photo of his visit to Amboseli……The trip was perfect in every aspect thanks to Tapestry. In fact it was beyond expectation. There is not one thing I would change. I have traveled extensively in many countries and I have worked with a lot of tour operators, but with Tapestry of Africa, I felt like I had a friend or family helping me plan this vacation. From the day we landed in Nairobi till the day we returned home, someone from Tapestry was always checking in on us - was the drive ok, was the accommodation ok, how the safari was going, did we need anything….I felt I had a friend who was looking out for us at all times. Of course we saw a lot of animals, of course the places we visited were magical and the experience simply out of this world. But the best part of the vacation was the service and care provided by Tapestry. Hilda checked on us as we were waiting to board our return flight, after the vacation! I have never had a tour operator make sure I reached home safe and sound after the vacation! Hilda made sure we reached home! Along with helping plan the most perfect vacation, Tapestry will provide personal care and attention. They go above and beyond their call of duty. We went to Kenya for a vacation and returned not only with fabulous memories and unforgettable moments but also with a deep bond with the team at Tapestry. Most tour operators will organize a safari vacation but Tapestry stands out as one that truly cares about their clients.

Tapestry had outstanding communication throughout our trip and a great personal booking experience.

Tapestry of Africa was the perfect choice for us. After doing a group tour in southern Africa the previous year we realised that this time we wanted to maximise the time spent in the national parks with the animals so Kenya was perfect. I was looking for a longer trip, around 3 weeks, that was packed with safari days. There were only a few companies I could find doing longer trips that included Tsavo N.P. We wanted to go to Tanzania as part of the trip, specifically the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. I found Tapestry on Safari Bookings as they had a perfect trip listed. Tapestry had amazing communication and flexibility when booking, allowing me to get my dream trip to everywhere I wanted to go for a suitable budget and timeframe. Matt at Tapestry will make sure your trip is exactly what you want, you won’t just be another booking as you will be with some other companies. We also contacted a larger company who were too pushy to get the sale, only focusing on telling us how many reviews they had. We had separate guides and vehicles in Kenya and Tanzania but we had a great time in both. Our guides were both very experienced, friendly and professional (and we had a really great time with them). Thanks to the knowledge and networking of our guides, the overload of animals we saw made sure that our cameras were never put away. We will go back for another trip in a few years and we will talk to Tapestry because they listened to what we wanted and we trust them to deliver a great trip.
