Truly amazing experience for both parents and kids!
A self-drive tour through South Africa’s Elephant coast with 4 adults and 4 children (6, 7, 8 & 9). This could possibly be a recipe for disaster, but it turned out to be the best holiday ever!
We did not want to visit the standard parks, but wanted a somewhat different experience, without putting too much of a burden on the children. After consultation with ‘Tailor made safari’s’ we decided to trust them with our wishes. They appeared to have so much knowledge and they did a truly amazing job!
Everything was well taken care of by them. The route, with help of the navigation device the company provided for us, was well described in the itinerary. We even received a phone call from them in order to guide us when the road was temporarily blocked. What a service!
The accommodations were simply amazing. They made sure the lodges-tents-house where child friendly: there was a pool for the kids to enjoy themselves and room for them to play. So thoughtful! Because of this the kids were able to keep up with two game drives almost every day we visited a game park. They absolutely loved it! And off course, we did also.
What is left are some fantastic memories that will last a lifetime. Although, we might want to come back… that’s how much we liked this experience. Thank you, people from ‘Tailor made safari’s’ for making this possible.

Tailor Made Safaris made a fantastic trip for us.
After visiting the holiday fair (in Utrecht), where we were introduced to Tailor Made Safaris and the possibilities they offered, Tailor Made Safaris has put together a fantastic self-drive tour for us. They listened carefully to what we wanted and gave it a perfect interpretation. The chosen locations were all special and varied. Tailor Made Safaris has surprised us in an extremely positive way and is definitely recommended for an unforgettable trip through South Africa!

an unforgettable, beautiful tour through South-Africa
Thank you, Tailor Made Safaris, for an unforgettable, personalized 17-day tour through beautiful South Africa!
We have been in contact with this organization since the travel fair last January, and immediately we were appealed to them, simply because the whole trip can be put together according to your own wishes.
From the beginning to the end, it was perfectly arranged! Two weeks before departure, we received a personalized book containing our travel information, which was all very clear. On arrival we were received in a kind and friendly way and received a box with cellphone, which contained a GPS, internet and required telephone numbers. There were also other supplies for the car, such as plugs and chargers within the box. Angela even visited us during our stay in St. Lucia.
There were many options available, during which Tailor Made Safaris gave us many tips. The accommodations were all in great condition. If we had any questions, Angela or her colleagues, were easy to reach out to and they responded very quick. Even in bad (weather) circumstances, they immediately gave us other alternatives for activities.
It was an unforgettable trip for us, even with a marriage proposal. Tailor Made Safaris has thought carefully about the most perfect location. We definitely recommend a trip through South Africa with Tailor Made Safaris!!

It was a magnificent experience which was very well arranged by Tailor Made Safaris
We went to South Africa with Tailor Made Safaris for a second time. Both trips went very well! The whole trip is tailor-made to your wishes, while they give great tips during the process. After arrival there is regular contact and they are there when necessary to solve any issues. In short; if you want to discover South Africa, definitely get in touch with Tailor Made Safaris and have them put together the journey of a lifetime.

An amazing tailor made holiday individually selected to give you the best experience
Having had to postpone twice due to Covid, we really were really looking forward to our South Africa trip. We are predominantly interested in the animals but also requested some down time for relaxing. The itinerary and experiences far exceeded our expectations and we couldn’t believe what we got for our money. From whale watching to safaris on foot and horseback, everyday had a wow factor. Towards the end, Nick our trip organiser, built in a stopover at Thonga Lodge. A place I felt was as close to paradise as you can get. I can honestly say everyday surpassed the last. We did not want to do self drive so we were chauffeured every where. Everyone we met were keen to give us the best experience. We are already looking at next year and will definitely be going back to this company

Trip of our lives!
Dear Tailor Made Safaris,
We had a great trip which, for us, was the journey of our lives. The diversity (of surroundings) we requested was really there.
During game drives in Tembe Elephant Park and Leopard Mountain Lodge we saw everything, including wild dogs, the largest elephant iSilo, rhinos, warthogs, lions, a herd of approximately 120 buffalo, which went to bathe, giraffes etc.
On to the beautiful White Pearl Lodge, with sea views from your bed and bath and a great swimming beach, followed by St Lucia with its many charms and possibilities.
The only thing that could stop us is our age but we certainly hope to go again in 2014!
Thanks again.

Perfect trip and very well organised
It was fantastic and highly recommended!
At the end of October 2012 we visited South Africa for 19 days, our first introduction to Africa and first Tailor Made Tour.
We started in Cape Town and visited Table Mountain, Robben Island, Cape Point, Hermanus, vineyards and did white shark cage diving.
We then flew to Durban and went on safari. We visited five different parks and went on many game drives. We also took part in game walks and safaris on horseback which were both exciting.
We stayed in fun and unique accommodations in beautiful locations, where we were looked after by the guide. If there was no restaurant the guide prepared the meals and also during the game drives we had breakfast and lunch prepared for us in the bush.
In short it was FANTASTIC and it is definitely recommended!
The score: All big five, plus black rhino, hyena, white shark

Tailor Made Safaris made a dream come true.
When you're married 35 years, you want to do something special. We asked Tailor Made Safaris to arrange a trip for us in which we wanted to do several things. Safari, sea, whales, a boat-trip at the river etc. etc.
What a great journey we have got. Every day we enjoyed so much. All the animals, the Big Five, the beautiful birds. The bush, the parks, Kosi Bay, St. Lucia, the Drakensbergen, it was great. A special award for the way Geert en Freya / Tailor Made Safaris arranged everything. The accomodations in the different parks, the guides and Nicolas ( Tailor Made Safaris ), the transport, it was all great. Tailor Made Safaris didn't only promise us a great trip, they made there words come true!!!!!!!!
