Taylormade Africa's knowledge, expertise & personal touch made our dream vacation a reality.
Even though Taylormade Africa's Clyde Beaty resided in a different country, England, his communication with us in the US on the "Whats App" platform proved to be much easier than expected. He made himself available during our choice of time frame. Clyde truly customized an epic 24 day experience in Africa for us. I left JFK airport in late July arriving in Johannesburg a day later due to the flight duration and time change. (Side note: If you can afford it, definitely travel Business class. You will feel so much better when you arrive at your destination)
After a short stay in South Africa, we made our way to Zimbabwe for 4 days. Victoria Falls, Devil's Pool, (a must for thrill seekers in close by Zambia), and the Lion, Cheetah and Elephant experience were a great way to start our trip. You have to see the pictures to believe it. Next we went through Kenya to get to the northern Serengeti in Tanzania to do 4 days of unforgettable Safari. Yes we did see the wildebeest river crossing and too many animals to mention here. Next we made our way to Ngorongoro Crater for another day of Safari. Next on to Uganda to see the Chimps and Gorillas. These Primates were so special to see in their own environment. And to end our trip, a 4 day well deserved relaxation visit to the island of Zanzibar back in Tanzania.
Our trip included visiting over a half a dozen different countries by large and small aircraft. I can't tell you how many things that COULD have gone wrong but DID NOT, all due to the meticulous planning and contacts "TaylorMade" Africa had with their ground operators. We were met by personal contacts at every location. In the airports, outside the airports at Air strips. Even personnel assisting us getting required visas. All knowledgeable people who spoke English very well. So to say the least, our Service from TaylorMade Africa was First Class all the way. Clyde ensured that we got to see what we wanted for the best possible price. The tour companies were hand picked by Clyde and none disappointed us. At all times on our 24 day excursion we could contact Clyde if there ever was a need. I also liked the personal touch of Clyde who checked in with us periodically during our trip to see how things were going. We shared so many photos and videos with family and friends while on our trip. Everyone was greatly impressed with them and how the details of our trip were all laid out at every location visited.
This was my first trip to Africa and the animals were fantastic but all the people we met were so unbelievably kind and genuinely happy to see us. I am so glad that we picked Taylor Made Africa to truly make this dream vacation come true!

Unforgettable experience!
Amazing safari! We were lucky enough to see all of the big five, including a leopard with cubs, a pride of lions and three rhinos. Mr T collected us from the airport and was an amazing taxi driver and made the transfer super easy! Golden our tour guide as fantastic and managed to find us so many amazing animals, getting us there before any other cars arrived and with superb timing! We had close encounters with elephants that crossed the path surrounding our car and many other animals! The food was phenomenal, with an amazing selection at each meal and lunch at beautiful locations along the way! Wonderful three days with many unforgettable moments, thank you so much!

Professional, Efficient, Reliable would definitely be choosing them over and over again
I chose Family Leisure Africa Safaris as my first option for the three-day Maasai Mara tour after doing a lot of research. Wislay was really helpful from the beginning and quickly responded to all of my questions. I was quite careful because I was traveling with my hubby . They fulfilled their commitment.we had a great time throughout the event. Our tour guide, Simon, took the initiative to tell us a brief history of each animal and plant we saw. He went above and above to make sure we saw as many animals as possible. He drove quite safely and dependably. Generally speaking, Family Leisure Africa deserves a pat on the back. I'm grateful to Jeff and Wislay for this wonderful experience. If you want to go on a safari, I would highly suggest Family Leisure Africa.They deliver the best.Kudos guys

Safari Went as Planned in Zambia
After having a very disorganized experience in Tanzania via another tour operator, we were happy that our accommodation/reservations looked as pictured and were on the dates we had asked for. The guide and wait staff were great. My food request for not eating fish was upheld and luckily there was only one snack that had mayonnaise, so I could eat almost all the food. The view of the Luangwa River at Thornicroft was amazing. We saw leopards, lions, and several other types of wildlife.

Planning your tour with Oakland is the best ever decision you can make. You will get value for your money.
They are very organized in the arrangement from day 1 to the last day.

Matthys handled our entire trip. Recommended a ten day trip based off my interests. The trip was flawless. Every detail from transportation to lodging was handled and well documented.
We visited Cape Town, Victoria Falls, and Kruger. Everything exceeded our expectations. Six out of five stars. We even seen the Big 5 at Kruger National Park

Good honest people that were brilliant from beginning to end
Me and my wife from the UK booked a 4 day safari with FIF tours.
Glory was extremely helpful in the organising process as she asked us what our key interests would be to experience. In the 4 days we had she tailored an action packed itinerary suited for us perfectly.
Andrew the tour guide was absolutely brilliant in making sure we had the best experience and saw plenty of wildlife.
Everyone spoke good English and the hospitality was outstanding.
Coming from England we were not sure how this experience would be but WOW we had the best time ever and will be looking to come again in the future.
Thanks from Icky & Kiran
