Tailormade Africa designed and faciliated our dream trip!
Clyde at Tailormade Africa was a delight to work with. From our initial phone conversation, Clyde was able to capture the exact experience we were looking for. We didn’t want a group tour and nor did we wish to travel during the busy season.
Clyde designed an itinerary that was tailored to our every wish. He was always available to answer our many questions and was in contact with us throughout the trip to ensure everything ran smoothly. Our three and a half weeks in Uganda and Tanzania were a dream come true! We spent a week on the Northern Serengeti and only saw one other vehicle! We managed to see the big 5 in 5 hours.
Everything was perfect. We wouldn’t have changed anything. Everyone on the ground was very professional and knowledgeable. Our guides and lodging exceptional. Thank you Clyde for an exceptional trip!!

10 days private safari Kenya
We have undertaken a 10-day private safari through Kenya with Amazing Memories Safaris in September and can recommend the provider without reservation! The planning and preparation from Germany went very well via email, Anne always responded very quickly and courteously. Also during the stay in Kenya everything went very well and shows the professionalism of the provider. We were always picked up punctually by our lodges and everything agreed upon was kept. Our driver Daniel did a great job, he is a really nice person, who told us a lot about the country, the people, the nature and also about his private life. He is also a very good driver and drove us with the small bus through wildest terrain, impressive!
We chose most of our lodges ourselves, but Anne's recommended resort at Lake Naivasha was also very good.
After 10 days we were dropped off at our beach hotel in Mombasa as agreed.
Thank you Amazing Memories Safaris for this great trip with you!
If we should come to Kenya or Tanzania again, we will book again with you!

A really nice and interesting trip with a professional guide.
The trip was really nice and full of interesting activities. Roger is a great guide and a real professional.
He tried all the best to do the whole itinerary and we really appreciate it.
The accommodation and meals were also really good.

A Fortnight of Fantastic Fun
One of the loveliest, laziest holidays ever. Steve and Rachel planned everything out beforehand, and answered every question before we asked it. Then we just sat back and let Isaac, our driver, do the rest. We saw every animal, bird and insect in existence (except the mosquito, strangely), and stayed at some fairytale locations with views that defied description. We would happily do it all again (and again) and have no hesitation in saying to anyone who is thinking of sampling Africa - choose Uganda. But make sure you let Kombi do the donkey work (yes, we even saw those) for you.

Really nice experience with Mr Wilson
Thanks Mr Wilson for taking us on our first safari. On safari we saw all the animals, he showed us all the secrets of the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha. As I spoke with other tourists, we were lucky to meet one of the best guides in Kenya thanks again Mr. Wilson. Totally recomendable!

Arend Safaris operate with a fake licence
We were looking to book a tour with Arend Safaris. Excellent contact. However, when we analyzed the copy of the Tourism licence they provided, we observed that the licence was actually the 2017 licence altered to read 2018. After inquiring with the Tanzanian Ministry of Tourism, it appears that they don't hold a valid licence. They are currently facing legal actions because of that.

Highly professional with personal approach tour operator
I travel with Karumuna Safari in a large group around Uganda for more than one week in December, 2018. We travelled through all Uganda, starting from jungle with gorillas and finalizing with safari with elephants, lions, tigers. As we travelled long distances during the day, almost every day we stayed in new hotel. The premises were different, some of them were very basic, some - very luxury ones.
Apart from exploring rich Uganda land, it was true pleasure to meet Karumuna Safari team and I would like to stress out the guides’ highly professionalism and personal attach to our group wishes. Every day our journey was add with stories about Uganda’s culture; nature; politicise’ people’s daily life. As for us many of the Uganda’s fruits were exotic and we wanted to know how they are grown, the guide – Onan, take imitative and stop near the pineapple, banana, sweet potatoes fields and explained vegetation process. Another nice experience was that I was interested in African dresses and our guide Richard negotiated with the locals that they sew a dress special for me in few hours.
I would like to say, because of these guides unique personal approach to their guests, the Uganda’s discovery was positively unforgettable.

Great 1 day Flight Safari to Selous Game reserve from Zanzibar
The trip was excellent from A-Z. The organisation by Budget Safari was great, we were in touch via whats app up front, they sent me the offers, i paid the trip online up front. The pick up from the hotel was on time and we had a very careful diver. At the airport we were welcomed by staff from Budget Sfaari handing us the flight tickets. The flights with Auric Air were also excellent. The game drive in the reserve was really nice, eventhough its a day trip during high noon we saw a lot of animals including Lions and loads of hippos which was my personal pleasure as Selous has lots of water. We enjoyed a beautiful lunch in the open of the game reserve.
I can highly recommend booking this trip with Budget Safari, its defeinitely value for money, a great price and a wonderful 1 day experience, particulalry if you have not done many safaris before.

FELT LIKE TOURISTS IN OUR OWN COUNRTY.
I can not really compare the services given by wild race Africa to no other vacation company in the country .Yes ,you might be thinking because Kenya is a third world country it has less experiences in terms of having fun as to other first and second world countries,but what i really saw,taught was more than what i expected.
i had just got back from Navo scotia,sydney,Canada from pursuing my studies and thought why should i not give myself a vacation to relax and explore my own country.
A friend of mine chose to travel with me immediately she heard i was going for a Kenyan adventure.
i was delighted to contact wildraceafrica since it was always an option for my family back here.
Simon was our communications specialist and i loved his quick way to answer on to emails and night calls for responses to our questions.He got our back when he decided to show up before and after the trip for advises and cautions to mostly take in to.
we visited a large part of Samburu national park which most people tend to ignore.we had such great fun,and the best part of it was spying on a pride on lions looking out for prey.The accommodation at the Samburu Sopa lounge was interesting as well.From a full body massage which was really budget friendly to a quiet time at a pool as the sun went down.
we really take this time and thank all the support we got from wildraceafrica for a good experience back in our own country
we really felt like tourists in our own country for the first time in a long time.
