Epic craftsmanship. Smooth international service. Superb attention to detail

After being blown away by a hugely intricate TingaTinga ‘birds’ painting in a coffee shop in Arusha, Tanzania, I took a cheeky photo of it, contacted TingaTinga at their Instagram account and enquired if they could replicate it… Not only was their customer service exceptional, their artists did a SUPERB job, and just two weeks later, a crazily accurate replica of the same painting arrived in our home in Kenya. Cannot thank Ali, the artists and the TingaTingaAfricanArt team enough and can’t wait to get it on the wall….!! 1,000 thanks to you all.

Great place for Tinga art

I had a great visit, the location is nice and offers a very large choice of Tinga artwork. One of my chosen pictures was framed on a thicker frame compared to the others and that was changed on the spot. You can see the artists working while you browse what is available.

I was initially worried about ordering…

I was initially worried about ordering from a company I didn’t know. Service is great, personal touch much appreciated, just tell then what you need. Delivery arrived on time and nicely packaged. Truly beautiful work, I am ordering again for sure. This could get addictive 😅😅 shame I can’t add photos of my pieces to this review.
