These are the people to book with if you want a custom Africa Tour. Look no further
Clyde Beaty and Tailormade Africa are just the best. These are the people you need to book through. Clyde has booked two very different custom trips to Africa for me and they have both been exactly what I wanted. He has an in depth knowledge of many African countries and the hotel or camp facilities as well as the guiding options available. One trip he designed was over a month, covered several countries and many different venues. It was timed perfectly. We were never bored and he booked us at just the right time of year to see what we were looking for. Our most recent trip with him was three weeks long in the fall of 2016 to Ethiopia. This trip was extremely complicated to put together, involved many internal flights and we asked to go not only to the tribal areas, but some other areas that were really "off the grid" and had no hotels or restaurants. We stayed in local huts or camping facilities, had our own cook, food and camping supplies brought in from Addis. The food, camping gear, itinerary and the guides were all great. Not easy to do in Ethiopia. The high end stuff we did was great and so was the way out of the way stuff. Also, I have always felt I got good value from Clyde. None of this kind of thing is cheap, but looking at what we got and what we paid for it, I was very pleased. I also recommended Clyde to my niece who wanted an Africa honeymoon. He did an amazing job and worked within her budget and came up with a truly memorable honeymoon. Clyde is your man.

Very efficent, helpful and confident everything was taken care of to the highest level
I have no complaints about the service. All questions no matter how big or small were answered very quickly. I felt we were in safe hands travelling to a place we knew relatively little about and felt they knew a lot in the specialst field of safaris. We had continued contact throughout the trip and they helped with our travel delays to make sure we got there safe and sound by re scheduling flights etc for us and had the perfect touch of leaving us a bottle of wine to enjoy when we arrived at the lodge after a long day of travelling.
The Safari and lodge choice was incredible I would recommend it to anyone. The flying package with everything we had hoped and more. I really felt everything was taken care of for us and all we had to do was enjoy a trip of a lifetime.

They know their shit.
I am a hard-core extra picky traveler. I have 3 core problems when travelling: (1) Human destruction and devastation of our planet has reached an all-time high. We now consume 1.5x more than what the planet can provide. If you love the wildlife and the natural environment as much as I do, you know how hard it is to find “true hidden gems” in the world – they are scarce and rare. (2) I also struggle to find the balance of visiting beautiful pristine locations using companies/hotels/people that are eco-friendly/sustainable, local community-friendly and are “in-it for the long-run”. (3) Lastly, I find it hard to find somebody I can trust and rely on to ensure everything is organized and planned for me from A to Z without any bad surprises.
In simple words, Clyde and his team at Tailormade Africa truly understand all the above and deliver on their commitments. In summary, they know their shit!! (apologies for my French). They will openly share their personal experiences (because they’ve been everywhere you will go), their concerns, and even the “bad” parts! They are always there to help. I have worked with countless number of travel consultants and nobody comes close. Tailormade Africa is my little secret weapon to delivering ultimate travel experiences that make a difference in the world! The world needs more of them!
