Self driving in South Africa and National Parks was never so easy
Tailor Made Safari prepared a fabulous trip for us where every single detail was carefully thought. The travel pack, the 'glamping' hotels, the choice of small National parks instead of big and crowdful Parks were absolutely perfect. Personal contact during the trip to check if everything is ok, I never saw this before! We had a marvellous experience!
Very nice and personal approach. Very good travel book with day to day schedule.
Everything was more than expected! In a good way. Contact, accommodations, tours and trips.

A wonderful holiday for the 2nd time with Tailor Made Safaris
For the 2nd time we went with Tailor Made Safari’s on Safari, this time through the North of South Africa (Kruger and so much more).
The organization of our holiday was excellent and Tailor Made Safari’s really took our personal whishes into account when arranging this trip.
Before we left, we received a complete travel pack that included a bound book of our trip, the navigation system (TomTom) and telephone with a South African sim card.
We choose to alternate between driving through the parks ourselves and going on game drives with a guide.
Again, the locations where we stayed the night were perfectly in order.
Angela and Nick, thank you for organizing this wonderful holiday.

Thanks to the fantastic guids, service and excellent transport from Tailor Made Safaris we had a wonderfull trip and they did their utmost and therefore succeeded in presenting us the magnificent 7 (Buffalo, elephant, lion, leopard, rhino, cheetah and the rare wild dog) So a very well deserved compliment for this organisation.

Amazing country with the best tour operator you can have!
If you want an exciting trip,lots of sightseeing, but less driving-time, great safaris ( we were so lucky,we've seen the big5), the best comfortable and cozy accommodations, also the best communication before and during the trip, than you must book with tailormade safaris. Even before our trip started, we already got excited because of the enthusiastic communication with Angela, the person at the office who was arranging our trip. Even if I was sometimes an awkward customer with tough questions, she never last patience and answered all the questions we had to make our trip a succes! Drakensbergen, St Lucia (with the luck to see a Leopard during a gamedrive in the wetlands with Matthew, great guy), A trip to Cape Vidal with a barbecue lunch almost on the beach, Mkuze, Rhino reserve( with the best chance for the big 5),and Capetown. Thank you team of tailormade safaris for an unforgettable trip!

A trip you Will never forget
Our trip to South Africa was very good organised. Our desires are perfectly combined. Very nice accommodations and also good sites.
If you choose Tailor Made Safaris, you made a good choice. We still enjoy and like to look at oud pictures.
The mountains, wildlife parks and Cape Town are unforgettable.

impressive journey to the Elephant Coast of South-Africa
Still excited about our impressive journey through the beautifull countryside of South Africa, the Elephant Coast, are we, back in the Netherlands, longing for the sunsets, Hippos, brutal monkeys, grumpy Elephants, adorable Zebra foal, the hide and seek gamedrives with Tom (our guide and manager of Thembe Elephant Park, who learned us so much about tracks and spurs), the still not found Leopard, the self driven games looking for hidden animals.
We still don't know whether it was the gamedrives or travelling itself, which gave us this special Africa feeling.
The whole journey was a wonderfull experience.
The ever changing countryside.
All those people, so many, doing apparently nothing, but still merry and friendly.
The big differences between poor and rich.
Not to mention the potholes, small, big, everywhere. But I missed the most of them, which means I have seen each and every meter of the 3000 km. Piece of cake with a Toyota Fortuner.
To much to enumerate, but still present in our minds.
We thank Tailormade Safaris for fulfilling our dream trip.
The acquaintance, preparation and support where wunderfull. We never had any worry's at all.
This is the kind of holiday one whishes and they made it possible.
Impressive in every way.
....... or was it, the Wetland gamedrive, with Nick, the Estuary, the powerfull Ocean and his private cooking on the beach, with greedy monkeys waiting for a chance to join in.
Or was it ...................
We still dont know, see it yourself.
We recommend, it was beyond our expectations.
So many thanks.
Best regards from the Hoeven family.

Very friendly and a very good service!
Tailor Made Safaris made for us a very nice trip to the Elephant Coast. In the 3 weeks we have seen a big variety of animals and beautiful landscapes. The guide was very nice and frendly and has a lot of experiance. The guide from Tailor Made Safaris took us to the most special and beautiful places in this area and show us a lot of wild animals. We have visited a lot of very nice and high luxury resorts. South Africa is a very beautiful country with very nice people and this is a reason once to go back to South Africa. We want to thank Tailor Made Safaris for the hospitality. Keep on going!!
