Understood our requirements and tailored the tour to what we wanted
We were recommended to Ubuntu Safaris by a well travelled friend. We normally do a lot of travel organisation ourselves after a lot of research. With our event trip to South Africa, we had a rough outline of where we wanted to go and gave this to Cuan at Ubuntu. He took our outlines, expanded upon it and got to know us and what we were looking for and tailored the itinerary to us. His choices of accommodation were spot on, great locations, helpful hosts and gave us a real taste of South Africa. When we had a question Cuan took these on and handled the request or issue. He was frank and very helpful in his suggestions having taken the time to understand how we travel and what interested us. He was 100% right on every occasion. I would highly recommend Cuan and Ubuntu.

Stress free, easy booking with great service.
We booked a weekend trip to the Palace Hotel in Sun City. It is easy to get hold of the travel administrator who assisted us to get a booking in a very busy period. We enjoyed our stay and everything with our booking ran smoothly. Thank you World’s Ultimate Travels for your great service.

A great safari thanks to the very good driver!
Everything was well arranged. When the hotel of our choice was not available, we got several other options recommended by Matoke, including the pro's and cons of each hotel. The driver was excellent. He knew a lot about wildlife in Uganda, understood our specific areas of interest and had good fun with our children.
We did not have to worry about anything during the trip, as all was arranged by Matoke. Except for the weather..

Excellent guide and good price
Service and communication was really good. They were on time to pick up us from our hotel and after camp. Mr Kennedy was so sympatic and good planner. Our guide, Zak was professional, he knows Masai Mara very well and sees animals very well even they are too far away. He saw çita and many lions earlier than other group guides. We were so satisfied about Doyen safari service. We were there at End of May. Even it is beginning of season, we saw a lot of wildies. It was perfect experience.

12 night honeymoon perfection!
We did a 12 night trip booked through Sunny Safaris (6 nights safari, 6 nights Zanzibar) for our honeymoon in May 2018. I was recommended them through a friend who had grown up in Tanzania and used their services regularly on their holidays there. In summary we highly recommend Sunny Safaris as a tour guide to our friends - we found it great value for a private tour, with amazing personalised itinerary and accommodation. We can't wait to come back for another safari!
Positive points:
- I had been in contact with one of their admin ladies, Jessica, from around a year before. She was always prompt and courteous in her responses. She provided us with an itinerary suggestion which we discussed back and forth, and was very open to changing ideas around to suit our timeframes and budgets.
- Our safari guide Hamisi was SUCH a happy, friendly and lovely guy who went out of his way every day to make sure we had the best experience and sightings. He was a careful and great driver. He was happy to work around us with what we wanted to do in terms of pick ups in the morning etc, but always gave us his advice and recommendations too which we valued.
- The accommodation was outstanding throughout - we can't fault any of it. We stayed in 5 different lodges over 6 nights for our safari so it's too long to go into them individually, and we honestly cannot name a favourite. They all had either amazing food, views, amenities or wonderful staff. Most of them had all three!
- We brought our marriage certificate to prove we were honeymooning for our week in Zanzibar and we got some lovely extras as well from the hotel (Ocean Paradise Resort).
- The man (Omar) who picked us up from Zanzibar airport also organised a Blue Safari tour for us while we were there, which was well priced compared to the hotel that offered the same tour.
Challenges and negatives:
- Due to language barriers it was sometimes difficult to get more detailed information on local tribes, customs and animals.
- Due to confusion in our communication with Jessica, we thought there was only a 5% surcharge on CREDIT cards and not on debit/prepaid travel cards. The 5% surcharge actually applies to all card payments, which we discovered when paying our remaining 50% deposit on arrival with a prepaid debit card. We would have happily brought cash if we knew this.

Another amazing trip to South Africa!
This is the third time we booked our trip to South Africa with help from Tailor Made Safaris and it was great again! Al our wishes were fulfilled. The communication and service is fast and professional. A few weeks before the holiday we got our self drive book with al the information we needed to know. During our trip we visited the Drakensbergen, Manyoni game reserve, St Lucia, Hluhluwe-iMfolozi and Thanda Safaris. We saw a lot of animals and beautiful nature. The accommodations were great, food was great and the people were the best! In the future we hope to come back (again) to South Africa and of course we will do that with the help of Tailor Made Safaris once again :)
