Highly recommend Tailormade Africa as they went above and beyond in creating an amazing experience
We recently went on our honeymoon to south africa and had the pleasure of traveling with Tailormade Africa and I can assure you they are an excellent tour operator! From the moment I inquired about the tour, Clyde was attentive and responsive to my questions and needs! Making sure how to keep in budget, time sensitive and including the 3 destinations we wanted to go (fun fact, we approach Clyde 45 days before the date of the trip hahaha and he was amazing and put together everything in few days!!)
During the trip everything was organized, always on time, you don't have to think about anything! Clyde and his team have everything planned!
The accommodations were luxury and conveniently located, all the itinerary was well-balanced, allowing us to see and do everything we wanted.
Clyde and his team went above and beyond to make sure we were happy, comfortable and having a great time in our honeymoon!
Overall we had an amazing experience with Tailormade Africa and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a well-organized, enjoyable, luxury and unforgettable travel experience

Very experienced team, every care taken, all meetings and collections on time couldn’t be better
Gave Tailor Made an out line of what we would like to see, also gave them a rough budget, they suggested a 4 day Safari in South Africa followed by a 4 day safari in Botswana which worked very well, we collected from Airport taken to a hotel, next day back to Airport to fly and drive to our first camp, all done very smoothly, then we were transported by road to our camp in Botswana by a very nice driver, at the end of our stay in Botswana we were flown back to Johannesburg, met at the Airport taken to our Hotel, then collected the next day to go the Airport for our international flight. All connections went very smoothly and on time.
We were happy that we got value for our money as we got amazing service at the camps, would thoroughly recommend Tailor Made, thank you Clyde

Focus on enjoying your African Experience rather than logistics !
We are a family of three; myself and my two adult children. We are very experienced travelers so I usually do all of the travel logistics. This time, we did three countries; luxury and rough, drive safari and boat safari, hiking and relaxing. I did not have to worry about a single logistic. Not one. Five * travelers expect good food and wine and, of course, it was excellent. But what you pay for with TailorMade is the local knowledge and the assurance that there will be no hick-ups.
It was honestly one of the best trips we have ever had - and the most relaxing for me !

Reliable, thoughtful, knowledgeable and committed
Tailormade Africa know Africa and provide a superb level of service. They are proactive - contacting you if, for example, there is a problem with your schedule. They are also speedily reactive; we had a local problem with a pick up from an airport and they dealt with it instantly. They are thoughtful, designing the holiday you want rather than an ‘off the shelf’ package. Altogether a great team delivering a superb service.

Rob fulfilled our desires during the planning process & while we were in Madagascar.
Rob of Tailormade Africa and the staff were impeccable in helping us plan our trip and augmenting our desires with their knowledge. They arranged for wonderful guides who gave us personalized service. It was a trip never to be forgotten.
Speaking for a moment about the nitty gritty, if there was a hic-up in the arrangements in this difficult post-pandemic period, Rob seemed to be able to clear it up in an instant.
Madagascar as a place is immensely interesting. The geography, people, flora and fauna are unique. I cannot recommend it enough. I experienced tremendous personal growth as a result of this trip. It was enlightening and fun in the best fullest sense of those words.

Tailormade Africa truly is a unique company whose desire to ensure you are happy is unparalleled.
I formed my relationship with Rob Morley of Tailormade Africa after initially contacting him about travelling to South Africa for the 2022 Comrades Marathon.
I mentioned to Rob that after running in the Comrades Marathon me & my wife would like to go on safari & we'd like to make it really special, like a 2nd honeymoon. It soon felt like Rob was my own personal travel agent but in such a friendly manner. Rob asked me what 'special' looked like for me & was able to tease out of me what I wanted more specifically. I explained that to us special meant somewhere exclusive where we felt looked after but in a relaxed environment. Rob understood we wanted to eat great food within picturesque surroundings. We were also keen to take in some game drives to search for some exciting wildlife without feeling like we were being herded around with large groups of people.
Rob has travelled extensively within South Africa, has great knowledge of & a great passion for the country & wanted us to experience this too. Due to this Rob was able to suggest a destination that matched our wish list & sent us pictures & details which enhanced the picture he had already painted for me.
Though I had a great idea of what was awaiting us I was still not prepared for the luxury provided, situated so unobtrusively within the fabulous scenery with great importance placed on being green & eco friendly. We stayed at Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge.
We were treated to an amazing spacious villa with outstanding far reaching views. Imagine standing in a spacious shower watching giraffes moving majestically in the distance with an open fire crackling metres away.
Meals were served in the restaurant within the main 'house' with the same views. The food was exquisite without being pretentious.
We were taken on game drives by friendly, attentive & knowledgeable people who clearly love their jobs.
All staff members were keen for us
to be happy & genuinely seemed pleased we had chosen their lodge.
I loved how Rob was able to take a rough idea of what I thought we wanted & make the actual experience better than the dream. Without wanting this to sound too sickly Rob was the perfect person to assist us.
Everything leading up to the holiday was dealt with just as we would have liked. Every detail was catered for. We made a few last minute changes which Rob was able to accommodate due to his relationships with his travel partners. Our itinerary was sent to us by email showing clearly every detail we needed for the whole trip.
Knowing how special this trip was for me & my wife Rob was able to speak to his contacts to let them know we were wanting to create a few private moments which became a reality without any trouble at all.
My communication with Rob was via telephone, WhatsApp & email. I had access to Rob & his team at all times. We did need their assistance when our outbound flights were delayed meaning we would miss our connecting internal flights in South Africa. They were on hand to ensure we were confident in knowing what plan B was. During the holiday we received timely WhatsApp messages confirming our upcoming transfer/travel arrangements giving us reassurance of our movements (as we made a few transfers to various destinations within South Africa).
After the holiday Rob followed up to ensure everything was just as we had planned & it absolutely was.
I would be more than happy to ask for Rob's assistance in planning another trip & its likely we will be doing just that for 2023.
If you want a personal & friendly approach to create a great trip this is the company to use.
Thank you Rob. Thank you Tailormade Africa

Up Close and Incredibly Awesome
Clyde and Tailormade Africa delivered an incredible safari experience for us in July of 2021. Sometimes, writing a review directly upon return it's still a euphoria time...but even a year and more later, our time on safari in Tanzania was an experience we still shake our heads about. It's hard to believe how incredible it was. The sights, the sounds, and the people of Tanzania have become etched in our minds and we are richer for the experience. Despite the stress of several Covid tests in a span of 48 hours to get there, upon landing in Tanzania the stress was whisked away as we stepped outside of luggage claim and met our first guide. From there, we were treated to the most incredible wildlife experience and luxury that is unforgettable. From elephants outside the tent at night at our first camp, to sundowner stories, to camp guides dancing and singing for us at our arrival and departure (and meals), we had a magical experience. Days were filled with the excitement of lions fighting, leopards hunting, giraffes fighting, elephants spraying, wildebeests crossing, hippos watching, crocodiles waiting, zebras helping, warthogs running, monkeys scavenging, ostriches prancing, flamingos displaying, followed by incredible sunsets over the Serengeti, it was nonstop amazement. And then, there were the camps. Oh, if you've never stayed in a tent that was a luxury hotel experience with coffee delivered with a morning greeting and warm water delivered for the morning shower or evening wash upon demand, and food delivered or prepared for a picnic at your watching spot...this is the place you need to be! Our experience was incredible, and we look forward to the next time! We recommend Tailormade Africa highly for listening to our desires and budget, organizing accordingly, and delivering all we wished for and more.

Very knowledgeable and helpful in planning our itinerary
We found Clyde to be very knowledgeable about our destination and very helpful planning our holiday. We felt we had the right amount of time in each place. He also suggested a wonderful destination for the end of our gorilla trekking which totally lived up to his and Rob’s recommendation.
The in country staff they used from the moment we arrived at the airport, until we were dropped back at the end of our holiday were just amazing; lots of information about Rwanda and the gorillas. The accommodation and organisation were just what we wanted and excellent value for money.
We would highly recommend using Clyde and Rob.

Highly experienced in providing a top notch safari experience.
Not a glitch in the organisation of our 22 days safari through Botswana and Zimbabwe. Professionally managed from the first interaction with Taylormade Africa through to the flight back. We stayed in beautiful camps carefully chosen by them and experienced animal interactions beyond our dreams. Both Botswana and Zimbabwe have chosen to avoid mass tourism. As a result, the price point is high but it gives you an intimate, exclusive experience. My wife and I hope to remember the African sunsets, drink in hand, looking at lions and rhinos at the water hole when we are really old and sit on our veranda at home. Memories for a life time.

Our group of 8 had a phenomenal safari experience, exceeding all expectations.
We had an incredible safari experience in August 2022, entire trip arranged by Clyde at Tailormade Africa. The lodging accommodations, food, guides, hospitality and daily itineraries far exceeded our expectations. Most importantly, we were able to see not only so many animals, but also actions ranging from lion mating, chase and kill x3, and wildebeest herd river-crossing x5, etc in barely 12 days. I highly recommend the service.
