Amazing 7 day tour experience in Uganda
Excellent communications with Peter throughout the planning and booking process. I was travelling solo, and had a tailored tour, with all the activities I wanted to fit in within the 7 days. Peter was there to pick me up and drop me from the airport, and during the rest of the time I had a fantastic guide called Amos who has the sharpest eyes in the country - he could spot every animal and bird from far off! Highly recommended.

Highly recommended!
We booked a 3-day safari to Amboseli National Park with Africa Flash Mc Tours and we had an amazing experience! The booking process and pre-safari communication was perfectly handled by Peter. We were very well thought after during the whole safari , the accommodations were lovely and our guide was very nice and knowledgeable.
On our request, they were able to arrange the airport pick-up in Nairobi and transfer to Tanzania where we continued our trip.
It was truly a magical experience!

Supportive, personal and straightforward
This whole South Africa holiday experience was, for us, an amazing one and these guys at Taylormade made it all so very easy. "You'll be met at Cape Town" they said and sure enough a man waiting to take us to the baggage reclaim and to our car.
The trip was described as a South African taster and was a self drive along the Garden Route taking in Cape Towns culture, Winelands wine, Hermanus and the whales, Knysna for us a chill out and feet up! and the final 5 nights a mix of sightseeing and animals.
Every hotel we stayed in was well described and a very good standard. We covered around 1100 miles in our hire car which was already pre-booked by Taylormade on roads that was a joy to drive on, although that wasn't anything to do with Taylormade!
If at anytime we had any question both Clyde and Rob knew exactly what the answer was.
We would love to return to South Africa and if we do, we will be using Taylormade again.
Thanks

Fantastic guide, fantastic time
Danson was an incredible guide and made our experience unforgettable. All accommodation and meals were outstanding and we couldn't have asked for more on our game drives.

A spectacular weekend and spectacular service
I only had two nights free for a side-trip to Kruger national park, and not much time to organise it. Giada at Safari.com took the challenge in hand, gathering my requirements and providing options to choose from almost the same day (only time zones caused the delay!). She organised flights to fit with my pre-booked business trip, car transfers to and from the airport and a stay at Lukimbi lodge - I didn't have to organise a thing. Any questions were answered straight away, and when one of my flights experienced a delay, a quick call to Giada meant that the transfer was rescheduled and the accommodation notified on my behalf.
Staying at Lukimbi was a great choice - the 5 star lodge is in a private concession within Kruger National Park. The rooms are amazing, with views straight out over a waterhole and wildlife everywhere. The lodge organises two game drives at dawn and dusk each day, plus a guided walk (all activities optional), with all meals included (delicious and plentiful). Guests are allocated into small groups with a dedicated ranger and tracker, so you get to know each other over the course of your stay, and have different experiences each day. The private concession means this area of the park is not open to the general public and there are far fewer vehicles around. My visit was right at the end of the dry season - the landscape was dry and stark but stunningly beautiful, and full of all the wildlife you'd want to see. I only wish I'd had longer to enjoy it. All the staff at Lukimbi were amazing. As a solo female traveler I felt comfortable and well looked after throughout my trip.

It is a one-in-a-life time journey
Me and my friend had a great time with Wildebeest crew members during this trip. Our plane was delayed and Noah helped us with re-arranging all the hotel bookings, we were a bit sad that we missed the first day but all in all our trip was quite smooth. we had two drivers, Sydney in Kenya, and Enocky in Tanzania. Sydney was very experienced, we saw a big family of lions and baby lions, a family of hippos, rhinos, giraffes and other small creatures. We seem to have missed the great migration since all the wildebeests are already in kenya, so many of them....that was an amazing view.
We quite happy with the hotel arrangements, not cheap though hahaha . I love the Sopa one on the top of the mountain with great great view. the only regret is that because of the delay of our flight we didnt have more time. we would like to book wildebeest again if we are planning another safaris trip next time.

Great people. Great service. Great itinerary.
My colleagues and I have used Intek for a couple of short trips in Uganda, and have always enjoyed ourselves. The staff is great in developing the itinerary to match our interests and preferences. And the trip itself is fun and well organized. Add to that Uganda's natural beauty, and you have a superb recipe. I'm already looking forward to the next opportunity.

Superb
We had an excellent trip from start to finish. Xavier picked us up promptly at our accommodation in Entebbe and transported us to QENP with a brief stop for chicken takeaway lunch!
Our accommodation at Marafiki lodge was first class. Excellent rooms, hot showers and really good food. The views were awesome!
The safaris themselves were absolutely first class. Xavier is a brilliant guide, a safe driver, thoroughly knowledgable and very good fun! He ensured we had the best opportunity possible of seeing all the predators. We weren't disappointed.
Xavier dropped us at our hotel in Kampala via a lovely stop for lunch at the Igongo cultural centre.
I would totally recommend using Xavier for an East African Safari. You're in good hands!
