Great private tour in the safari
From the moment I contact Serengeti Green Tanzania, I had great communication answering all the questions and concerns I had. We decided to book with them 4 days private Safari tour (3 nights) for 3 people. My main concern was the food, as we vegan, vegterian and gluten free. Davies assured me that they will notify the lodges about our food. Breakfast and dinner were very good with options for vegan and vegterian. The packed lunch was more or less OK. I would advise to bring some snacks with you if you have special dietary requirements.
The guide was very nice, doing his best to make us feel comfortable, if we wanted to stop, take pictures or use the toilet. He also made an effort on the last day to try to find more animals, driving to remove locations inside the park and we did see a lion standing in front of us, very close.
I would recommend Serengeti Green Tanzania to anyone looking for a small professional safari company for a group. I am sure you will enjoy the tour as much as we did.

Superb service from start to finish!
It had always been a dream of ours to visit Madagascar and Tailormade Africa really made our dreams come true and more!
Although we knew we wanted to visit Madagascar and all it had to offer, we had an obstacle in our way......we wanted to see as much as possible but were limited to the amount of time we could take away from work.
As mentioned, we had always wanted to visit, but we were unsure of where to start and what to do - with so many beautiful parts to the country and different landscapes we were overwhelmed........enter Tailormade Africa!
We contacted them way back in 2022 to book a holiday of a lifetime to Madagascar in 2024. Even though we were looking to book so far in advance, this didn't discourage Rob and the team from doing their utmost best to secure costs and dates for us. They made recommendations on how to get the most of Madagascar with our restricted time all whilst ensuring that we weren't spending more time travelling than we were enjoying our holiday!
After initial contact, we had a 121 conversation with Rob so that he could get to know us and understand our personal travel style and based on this, he was able to happily provide multiple itineraries and hotel choices as a starting point for us to peruse and give us an idea of what's possible, available and different budgets. We were then able to 'pick and choose' and 'mix and match', really ensuring that our holiday was 100% tailored to our needs and wants. No matter how many times we went back and tweaked the different itineraries it was never too much trouble for the team!
Throughout the 2 years between booking and actually travelling, the team kept in contact with any updates, and amendments we wanted to make were handled with straight away - including an extended break to Kenya prior to arrival in Madagascar - nothing was too much trouble!
Prior to travelling, we had another 121 call with Rob to go over our plans a final time and to answer any last minute questions - this is a really nice touch. Tailormade Africa also make themselves available to you for the duration of your holiday too - just in case of any mishaps or information you might need while you're away.
The personal touches that were made throughout our stay at each location were second to none (so much time had passed from booking to travelling that we actually ended up getting engaged and married in between so made Madagascar our honeymoon). At each location we stayed at, the staff had prepared something special for us as a honeymoon treat - and this was all down to Tailormade Africa's organisation and the great relationships that they have with their teams on the ground.
It really was the holiday of our dreams and we couldn't have asked for more - all thanks to to the Tailormade Africa team!
Their customer service didn't end there though......even when the trip was over and we were back to reality, we had a final 121 call with Rob which gave us to opportunity to tell him all about our adventure and provide feedback.
Absolutely 5 star service from everyone and we will definitely be using Tailormade Africa again for our next African adventure!

Well-organized safari with a skilled guide, offering good value and a flexible approach
We had a very good safari experience with Johnny Jackson as our guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating, and his insights into the animals' movements helped us get some excellent sightings. Johnny was also flexible with the itinerary, taking into account our preferences, which was much appreciated.
The vehicle was comfortable and well-suited to off-road sections. Accommodation was simple but comfortable, and the food was decent, though it could have used more variety, as we had similar meals each day (mostly rice, lentils, and meat).
At first, the price seemed high, but after the tour, I felt it was good value for money given the quality of the experience and Johnny’s skill as a guide. Overall, a well-organized tour with a capable guide. Recommended.

A good car and great driver is necessary when travelling
We hired for 6 days a car and driver via Grassrootztravel. We had to visit for our work several organisations in different places in Uganda.
The car was comfortable and we had a great driver. He brought us in time to different addresses, even the ones difficult to find. He was always patient and ready to help us and he was also an enthusiastic guide who told us on the road about his land, the people, animals and nature. We did not book a safari trip, but even so, we saw a lot of animals and learned a lot about the country.

Great support from Sekanka Travel
we travelled to Vic Falls (Zimbabwe) and through Botswana on a 9 day safari with Sekanka Travel.
Anna and Tepo where excellent and our guide Macha was fantastic.
Our one recommendation would be to confirm which accommodation you will be staying at in each location and stop of your safari.
Some locations have more than one accommodation option - and if you'd prefer one lodge vs another - make sure you share this with Tepo and Anna and they can ensure you are in the exact accommodation you want to be in.
For Victoria falls - we would recommend the Shearwater explorers village vs the PheZulu lodge. The PheZulu lodge is nice but its quite a walk (25 minutes) to the central shopping are of Victoria falls.

An Unforgettable Adventure
My trip was truly incredible! Jackson was professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and so much fun. I felt completely safe and well taken care of. The camaraderie among everyone was heartwarming. Over our week-long tour, we checked everything off our bucket list. The adventure was so amazing, it’s hard to capture in words. If you're considering a tour, I highly recommend this company.
The lodging and food were outstanding!
Thank you, Intimacy Adventures!
