A great safari on the Elephant Coast and Drakensbergen in a relaxing traveling way.
TMS has a clear goal. Offering an intense but relaxing experience with carefully selected accommodations and less known parks. Less crowdy, but hidden jewels in the east of south africa. The trip was carefully selected with Angela from TMS, by e-mail, whats app and telephone. Before our departure we received a " departure pack" , including our personal travel book, an african cell phone and GPS. After arriving in Johannesburg the departure pack was a great help in making everything very undependable, but also very relaxing. We have had a great experience in visiting South Africa and TMS has made it possible in a unique way. I strongly recommend them to everyone who wants to visit this beautiful land and who seeks a reliable travel agent. They can make the difference!

Our first safari and with Tailor Made Safaris was a amazing trip and experience!
We booked the trip by the Internet. De communication was perfect. They suggested a trip where all our wishes were fullfilled. Questions were answered very quickly. At the Johannesburg airport was someone there who took us to a questhouse. At the airport in Durban was the guide waiting for us. This guide was the whole trip with us and arranged an all-inclusive trip!
The guide was well aware of our needs and gave us lots of information about the country and the area where we were.
The game drives in the parks were a great experience. The guide spotted many animals and rare birds. He did a very good job. We went to South Africa to see the wildlife and he made our dream come true.
The whole trip outdid our expectations. It was worth every penny. We definitely go back and will definitely book with Tailor Made Safaris.

Thanks to TMS an unforgettable, perfect organized holiday!
We did a selfdrive safari trip for 3 weeks to the Elephant Coast and Drakensbergen, our first journey to South Africa. From the first meeting on the "vakantiebeurs" in Utrecht we had a good feeling with TMS, and they did what they promised! The selfdrive pack, the book (our bible) contact.... Before the trip by email, during the trip by sms, whats app or phone, even a personal visit from Angela at our guesthouse in Saint Lucia, perfect! Our holiday was perfect in balance: culture, animals, mountains. If there will be a next time, we certain will contact TMS again.

Amazing safari Elephant Coast (Kwazulu Natal) with an extension to Drakensbergen
This safari was characterized by limited time for travel with a maximum of time to explore the country, the parks and the lodges, the accommodation were great, Tembe, Leopard Mountain, Kosi Forest, were mind blowing. the self drive pack from tailor made safaris are best in class. The support before, during and after the iternary was personal and very good.

Our 3th en best trip so far with Tailor made safari's
We did a selfdrive safari trip for the 3th time with Tailor Made Safaris’s
We started out trip in trip in black rhino lodge in Pilanesberg. This a ideal place to start because it’s only 3 hours drive from JNB. This lodge was great, the food was amazing. In the morning a long game drive to the public part of Pilanesberg. And in the afternoon a shorter drive in the private area. We were witness of a lion kill of a zebra!!!
Then we went to Kololo game reserve. The nice thing here is that you can mountain bike or walk between the giraffe zebra ect. A realy nice experience. We also went on a full day game drive in Welgevonden, especially the scenery is beautiful
After kololo we went tot leshiba venda village lodge, its a very special lodge, very beautiful. The staff is really nice. Game drives are mediocre because of limit amount of wildlife. Here you go more for the nice accommodation and view than safari.
Then we went to Kruger staying in various lodges, kruger was great we saw a lot of wildlife including leopard and lions. It was a nice change to go from (All in lodges) to BBQ ourselves. We did a game walk out of Sefapane in kruger, What is a real recommendation, the guides were realy nice an we saw a lot of game, leopard, hyena warthog.
After Kruger we went to Umkumbe safari lodge. The game drives here a good because they are allowed to go off road, and try to bring you really close. The houses you stay are very luxurious.
Last we we stayed at the Rissington inn in hazyview. To explore the panorama route. The rissington inn is very nice place to relax if you have bin on safari for 3 weeks. And the food is excellent.
Tailor made safari’s, made a perfect trip for us again !!! The communication was excellent and they did a great job of customizing a trip for us.

An unforgettable trip with a personal touch
We have made a beautiful and impressive self drive trip to KwaZulu Natal and the Western Cape. TMS has forfilled our special wishes about nature, special animals and accomodations (thanks to Angela and Nick!). We can recommend TMS because of their great knowledge about nature, the parks and, very special, their personal attention before, during and after the trip. The self drive pack is great! Remarkable: also the people we met (guides, the staff of lodges and guesthouses) are very positif about TMS.
No doubt: if it is possible, the next time we will contact TMS again!
