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.

The magnificent 7 presented
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!!

Great Tailormade adventure!
For the second year on a row we booked our holiday to South Africa with Tailormade Safaris. This time we wanted to visit Kruger National Park and surrounding game reserves. Also the Panoramaroute was on our wishlist. Tailormade Safaris did everything they could to find the most suiting accommodations and game reserves. Two weeks before we starten our trip to South Africa we got a selfdrive book with all the information you need during a selfdrive holiday. The holiday itself was absolutely great/amazing/the best ever! The accommodations and game reserves we visited where all outstanding! Lot's of beautiful animals and nature. We also had a private game drive to Hluhluwe-iMfolozi with Tailormade Safaris, this day was unforgetable. We really enjoyed our trip! Next time we go to South Africa we are definitely getting aan other tailormade holiday with Tailormade Safaris

A perfectly organized trip
Our family (5 adults) went to the Elephant Coast in South Africa in July. Our trip was well planned and had a programme with very much variation in it . We visited six places in total including Drakensbergen, Karkloof, St Lucia, Hluhluwe-Umfolozi, Tembe and Ponta-d'Ouro ( Mozambique) . We had amazing experiences and sightings at every destination. Unfortunately we only saw 3 of the big five . The hippo's crossing the road in St Lucia when we walked back from our dinner, the BBQ visit of the hyena's in Umfolozi and the PADI dive course in Ponta-d'Ouro were unforgettable!
Angela was always helpful and nothing ever was too much trouble . Overall, the holiday and 'Tailor made Safaris' surpassed our expectations and we will highly recommend this organisation to our friends . If we return to SA it will be with Tailor made Safari's again .
