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.
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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.
