Trip of A Lifetime
I visited South Africa, Cape Town and Johannesburg, and utilized Travel For Life. I heard about Travel For Life from my cousin, who utilized their services for her South Africa Trip in 2014. With limited time and a very very last minute trip( we booked everything less than two weeks out) I used Travel For Life to book all of my tours and my safari trip. I was very pleased with the services provided by Monika and the Travel For Life Team. I told Monika exactly what I wanted to do and see while in South Africa and she arranged all of our tours. We did a tour of the Cape Peninsula and Winelands, a day safari trip to Pilanesburg and a private tour of the Apartheid Museum and Soweto. She arranged hotel accommodations in Johannesburg and airport transfers in Johannesburg as well. I was worried that I would not be able to do and see everything that I wanted to in Cape Town and Johannesburg because everything was so last minute, but Monika worked her magic and was able to book all of our tours successfully!
I found it very easy to contact Monika via email especially with the seven hour time difference. She responded to my emails in a fast and efficient manner. The tours booked exceeded my expectations and more. The tour guides were awesome and the hotel accommodations were first class. I can't say enough about the hotel that she booked for us, it was everything and more!
Monika, took the stress out of the planning process and setting up tours and airport transfers. I just literally showed up and enjoyed my vacation :)! If you are in need of a Tour operator I would highly recommend Travel For Life. When I have the opportunity to visit South Africa again I will definitely be utilizing their services again. I also plan to recommend Travel For Life to friends and family members who plan to visit South Africa as well.

Perfect Safari Experience for us!
We had never been on Safari before so really didn't know what to expect.
Rob at Tailormade was able to advise us particularly about the ethical nature of Safaris and he made the planning very easy. He recommended Sanbona Wildlife Reserve and in particular the tented lodges - we were not disappointed. He gave us detailed directions to the reserve from Cape Town and the journey was as spectacular as he described. We were made to feel very welcome at the lodge and although we were only able to stay one night we managed a most successful evening and a sunrise game drive - not to mention a delicious lunch dinner and breakfast! Our guide at Sanbona made every effort for us to see as much game as possible - especially as we were only there for one night!
We felt the care attention given to us by Rob at Tailormade was excellent. Emails were answered promptly and we were given lots of useful general information about South Africa/Cape Town - places to visit - restaurant recommendations etc.
I would not hesitate to book with Tailormade again.

Fantastic experience
We did a 5 nights / 6 days private safari in december 2016. Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha (each 1 night) and 3 nights Masai Mara. Everything was adjusted to fix our needs, Lucy did a perfect organisation and our driver-guide Peter simply was the best. Very professional, extremely experienced, friendly and helpful - and with a very good eye, even for the best photo-position. We saw all of the well known animals and a lot of the lesser known; the tour was perfectly organized and there were no problems whatsoever. Best price-value experience we could think of! Thanks a lot, would love to go again with this company! Would recommend this 10/10.
Communication was fast and very good, the expecations were met and the tour great.

Fantastic experience with Vacay
I am extremely pleased that I decided to book my safari with Vacay holiday deals. David replied to email communication within hours, had everything confirmed for us, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about everything from the airline to the park fees we'd have to pay, and even emailed me a reminder about needed items before we left! Everything went smoothly, and it was the trip of a lifetime. I cannot recommend them more!

I dealt with Dolan Sequera who was an absolute pleasure and efficient too.
Dolan was very attentive, went out of his way to assist and promptly came back to me with up to date information. He did all the organizing leaving me to decide and pay and took all the schlep out of the arrangements for me. All that was left for me to do was to enjoy my holiday.
It was great n worth trying anytime traveling.
Good communication n upto standard service, actually surprised my expectations, thank you n keep it up. The safari tour itself is simply the best.

Simply the best
Rose guided us expertly through the different options for our fairly grown up family of five - and we ended up with a couple of camps and some beach at the end. Everything exceeded expectations. She knows the market inside out. We spoke to a number of companies but it was clear from speaking to her that Rose was the true insider and the level of service was excellent. As for the holiday itself: absolutely fantastic. Personal, great camps, lovely people and wonderful wildlife and scenery. Thanks so much.
