An excellent holiday with Tailor Made Safaris
If you decide to book a safari in KwaZulu-Natal, Tailor Made Safaris is the perfect partner to turn all your wishes into an adventurous and beautiful experience. You immediately feel at ease while travelling through South Africa, thanks to a complete package of information and documentation, a TomTom navigation system, and a mobile phone (provided free of charge) by Tailor Made Safaris.
Once again, we enjoyed a wonderful, adventurous, and intense journey through beautiful South Africa, in KwaZulu-Natal. Everything was impeccably organised by Geert and his team at Tailor Made Safaris. Our trip took us, among other places, to Kosi Bay Forest Lodge, located in the stunning iSimangaliso Wetland Park, close to the Mozambican border. From there we spent a few nights in Tembe Elephant Park, followed by St Lucia, where—after five years—we finally experienced a very special evening scene: several hippos, including baby hippos, emerging from the river that runs alongside St Lucia and walking straight through the main street!
To conclude this exceptional journey—made even more meaningful by the three books we had read about the remarkable origins of this reserve—we spent three nights at Thula Thula: peace and tranquillity in the heart of Zululand.

A fantastic Safari with you family.
If you wish to enjoy a wonderful safari holiday with your family, I recommend Bluechip Aviation and Safaris. The agency representative, Mr Gilbert Kibet Misoi, took care of everything for us and worked hard to resolve the issues we encountered. He also demonstrated flexibility in developing solutions for our various requests.
Finally, you can trust this company and its representative Mr.Gilbert.
I recommend a private tour for all of you for a better experience.

very professional
We organized the trip with Mr. Clive, who immediately proved very attentive to our needs and created the tour based on our preferences, giving us excellent advice.
There were four of us, and everything went very well.
The accommodations and vehicle were perfect.
So, I'd say it was an excellent experience.

Well organized and kind
We had a great experience with Extreme Wilderness Adventure and would definitely recommend them.
Communication before the safari was clear and efficient, via WhatsApp, and I always felt reassured and well supported during the planning process. At first, sending the payment without a formal guarantee felt a bit risky, but everything turned out to be perfectly organized and reliable.
We did a private safari, just the two of us in one jeep. Our guide was very knowledgeable, kind, and professional, and he also spoke Italian, which was a big plus. Thanks to him, we managed to see all of the Big Five, as well as a leopard and a cheetah. The safari pace was quite intense, but absolutely worth it given everything we saw.
The vehicle was comfortable. Water and lunches were included and were good, and we appreciated that breaks and stops were flexible and decided together.
We chose the 6-day luxury safari and the lodges were beautiful overall. Only one lodge did not meet our expectations in terms of cleanliness and food, but aside from this, the experience remained very positive
In terms of value for money, the safari was definitely worth it. I would recommend Extreme Wilderness Adventure to both couples and friends looking for a well-organized and memorable safari experience.

With Kalulu Safaris, you don’t just see Africa; you feel it, live it, and leave as family.
There are some journeys that change you , and our safari with Kalulu Safaris was exactly that. It was not just a trip. It was a dream of a lifetime, a soul-deep experience that will stay with us forever.
From the very first moment, everything was beyond our expectations. The landscapes, the wildlife, the rhythm of nature, every single day felt like a scene from a documentary, yet we were living it, breathing it, feeling it.
Kalulu is not just the name of a company, he is a person with a heart as vast as the savannah. Somewhere along the way, he stopped being “our guide” and became family. His warmth, integrity, passion, and genuine love for what he does made this journey deeply personal and incredibly special.
And then there is Edward, truly one of the most extraordinary human beings we have ever met. The kindest soul, the most knowledgeable guide, and an exceptional professional. His ability to read the land, understand the animals, and share stories with such respect and emotion felt nothing short of a gift from God. Experiencing this safari with Edward was a blessing.Every detail was thoughtful. Every moment felt safe, authentic, and perfectly paced. We laughed, we were moved, we were in awe — again and again.
If you are considering a safari, stop searching. This is the one.
If you are dreaming of Africa, trust these people with your dream.
What they offer is not tourism, it is truth, heart, and magic.
We arrived as guests.
We left as family.
And we will return, without a doubt.
With endless gratitude and love,
Kristy & Stratos

An unforgettable safari experience with great wildlife, service, and an excellent guide.
Overall, we had a great experience on our safari tour. We did a 5-day trip covering Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, and it was an unforgettable journey.
Our driver and guide, Peter, was extremely skilled and knowledgeable. He shared excellent information about the animals, the parks, and the local culture, and he was without a doubt the best driver we could have asked for.
The food was good, and we were lucky enough to see a large variety of wildlife throughout the trip. One area that could be improved is the schedule and timing, which at times felt a bit rushed.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this tour operator, and I strongly suggest asking for Peter — he truly made the experience special

He had a kind personality and was very good.
It was a very enjoyable trip because he treated us, who were not good at English, politely.

Deep 5days
Moses was always friendly and easy to talk to.
Our communication before the tour started was smooth and reassuring.
He clearly explained all the important points, which helped eliminate any concerns, and I was able to complete the tour with peace of mind.
I’m glad I chose Lenchada.

Unforgettable Camping and Lodge Safari
Our Tanzanian adventure began in Tarangire, where we marveled at massive elephant herds beneath ancient baobabs along the Tarangire River. Afterward, we moved to Lake Manyara, where tree-climbing lions and flamingos filled the scene. In the Serengeti, we stayed at Ikoma Wild Camp and Serengeti Wildbeest Camp, each offering a unique, immersive experience. Waking up to the sound of wildlife and enjoying comfortable, spacious tents with breathtaking views made each moment magical. We soared over the plains in a hot-air balloon at sunrise, spotting wildebeest, lions, and more. Our final stop was the Highview Coffee Lodge near Ngorongoro, where we relaxed with stunning views of the highlands. The Ngorongoro Crater itself was a true wonder, with its breathtaking beauty and abundance of wildlife making it an unforgettable highlight. A Maasai village visit added a rich cultural experience. Tanzania’s landscapes, wildlife, and warm hospitality left us with unforgettable memories.

Easy. Excellent. Enjoyable!
With the overwhelming amount of touring companies to choose from, we can confidently say that booking with Grassrootz was our best decision for our Africa adventure!
We actually had two other companies booked for other country visits, and chose Grassrootz for the Uganda portion of our trip. Our 21 day trip to Uganda was truly a highlight! We wished we could have had used them for our entire visit to other parts of Africa!
The communications prior to the trip were efficient and timely. It made it easy to engage with them and get answers to our questions. We didn’t need to wait more than a few hours for a response and were incredible impressed by how prompt they were and easy to work with. They were able to accommodate our personal requests and make adaptations to the tours so we could make the most out of our trip! It made an overwhelming decision super easy! We felt like we got the best bang for our buck especially after talking to other visitors and comparing. We could always count on our guide and the owner to be responsive to our needs. We had an exceptional tour.
Our guide Amos made our trip unforgettable. We not only felt like he was knowledgeable of the areas we visited but he just had this spark that all great guides have! He found ways to take our regularly planned itinerary and still incorporate little surprises into it or moments for us to enjoy! No prompting, just him doing his thing. Now THAT is a true guide! His charismatic personality made us feel at ease and we genuinely feel like we gained a lifelong friend. He was professional, always keeping the car clean, keeping us on schedule, being respectful, and just knows how to handle people. 21 days with a stranger can be intimidating but with Amos, it never felt awkward or daunting. He just gets it! If you’re looking for an Africa adventure with an exceptional guide, Grassrootz with Amos is what you need! Thanks guys! We will be talking about our Uganda trip for years to come!
