Awesome custom made holiday in South Africa
The staff and the communications were excellent. Everything was prepared for us to make our journey as smooth as possible like a cell phone with a South African SIM, navigation with all locations on forehand programmed and a book that included everything we needed to know.
Even if we know it would be great it was even better. The locations they picked for us were superb.
The locations varied from lowland safari game, mountainous game drives to the Drakensbergen including great guides and awesome wildlife.
Thank you Nick and Freya, we would love to come back and travel again with Tailor Made Safaris.

One week individual tour Uganda - a great experience
We did a week-long tour through Queen Elizabeth NP, Bwindi NP (Gorilla tracking) and Lake Mburo NP. The camps and lodges where we stayed were all beautiful and clean, nice and helpful people. We saw all animals we wanted to see, including lions, gorillas, giraffes and the shoebill. Our tour guide Kule was the best guide we could have imagined: friendly, knowledgeable and a safe driver. Organisation by Matoke was excellent: they were very responsive and helpful during the preparation of our tour and understood immediatelly our wishes and expectations. Highly recommendable!

Safe and precise. Everybody knew our timing and planning. Enjoyable! Very friendly people :-)
We started preparing the safari around two months in advance. Communication was very clear and quick.
Working over email with Mike we defined a safari schedule that included everything we wanted withing our available budget. Ancient did take care to book everything, and even they upgrade one of the hotels on their account, as the one we had originally defined was full book.
Once we got to Nairobi, a driver was waiting for us with a label that displayed our names for clear identification! :-)
Next day the safari started. Masai mare is amazing and you can get really close to animals. Balloon trip is really expensive, but i think it's a must do!! It's a superb experience to flout on the air with no engine noise around. Magical!
In Serengeti we had more chances to see animals, but you can not leave the road! So, a good zoom is mandatory if you want to have good pictures.
Hotels along the safari were good, and hotel in Zanzibar was excellent!!! Just as we need it to be in order to end the trip with a good rest :-)
I think Ancient Safaris people (Mike and is team) did a great job! So we could just enjoy the experience, he animals, and the great people we have meet along the way.
All in all, I'm very happy!!! I wish we could repeat it at some point!!!

Zimbabwe Adventure
We had the most fantastic experience with Falcon Safari--they arranged an amazing tour that included lodging (A'Zambezi River Lodge), dinner cruise on Zambezi, walking tour of Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe side), helicopter tour, dinner at Livingstone Room, dinner at Boma, day trip to Chobe, and then arranged for a 4 day stay with lodging and tours in Johannesburg.
We cannot say enough good things about our experience. From the time we were picked up at the airport to the time we were dropped off again--every transfer was on time or early, accommodations were fantastic and the tour guides were amazing. Worth every penny (which I thought was very reasonable for completely private tours).
We loved our visit to Zimbabwe and Chobe. The arrangements in Johannesburg were awesome as well.
Thank you, thank you, for a trip of a lifetime. Your vacation package was absolutely amazing and your services superb.

5 day Marangu Trek
I went on the 5-day Marangu trek with Kilisa and thoroughly enjoyed it! Naick is very professional and quick at replying emails and organising the trek even though i booked it last minute. Initially I was meant to go in a group however I ended up being the only person. The guide Patrick is a great guy and the chef Hasan an excellent cook! Overall had a good time with these guys, I would highly recommend them!

Serengeti big and full of animals..
Comparing 2015 Masai Mara experience guiding was weak. The foods in the hotels as well.
Hotel staff was tired and looked unhappy mainly.
We should repeat a few times and wait so long time to reach the desired F&B.

Efficient service that exceeded expectations
My family visited Kruger National Park, the Victoria Falls and Johannesburg in June. Rose and her team made the experience fuss-free and extremely enjoyable. After we discussed what we wanted to do during the trip and our expectations regarding accommodation, she and her team arranged all the logistics for us. Everything that she arranged went seamlessly and exceeded our expectations. One particular incident that left us extremely impressed occurred when our flight from Kruger to Livingstone was delayed (through no fault of the company's). We were running on an tight schedule and the delayed flight reduced our touring time and caused us to miss a helicopter ride over the Victoria Falls that we had been looking forward to. Thankfully, Rose and her team rose to the occasion and quickly arranged another helicopter ride for us the next morning, and even arranged for the helicopter to take us immediately to the airport so that we could catch our flight out of Livingstone punctually. Rose's responsiveness and efficient management of this hiccup on such short notice allowed us to enjoy our holiday without worries. We are very happy with the services that Rose and her team provided, and highly recommend The Luxury Safari Company to anyone who wants to enjoy the beauty of South Africa hassle-free.
