A trip you Will never forget
Our trip to South Africa was very good organised. Our desires are perfectly combined. Very nice accommodations and also good sites.
If you choose Tailor Made Safaris, you made a good choice. We still enjoy and like to look at oud pictures.
The mountains, wildlife parks and Cape Town are unforgettable.

impressive journey to the Elephant Coast of South-Africa
Still excited about our impressive journey through the beautifull countryside of South Africa, the Elephant Coast, are we, back in the Netherlands, longing for the sunsets, Hippos, brutal monkeys, grumpy Elephants, adorable Zebra foal, the hide and seek gamedrives with Tom (our guide and manager of Thembe Elephant Park, who learned us so much about tracks and spurs), the still not found Leopard, the self driven games looking for hidden animals.
We still don't know whether it was the gamedrives or travelling itself, which gave us this special Africa feeling.
The whole journey was a wonderfull experience.
The ever changing countryside.
All those people, so many, doing apparently nothing, but still merry and friendly.
The big differences between poor and rich.
Not to mention the potholes, small, big, everywhere. But I missed the most of them, which means I have seen each and every meter of the 3000 km. Piece of cake with a Toyota Fortuner.
To much to enumerate, but still present in our minds.
We thank Tailormade Safaris for fulfilling our dream trip.
The acquaintance, preparation and support where wunderfull. We never had any worry's at all.
This is the kind of holiday one whishes and they made it possible.
Impressive in every way.
....... or was it, the Wetland gamedrive, with Nick, the Estuary, the powerfull Ocean and his private cooking on the beach, with greedy monkeys waiting for a chance to join in.
Or was it ...................
We still dont know, see it yourself.
We recommend, it was beyond our expectations.
So many thanks.
Best regards from the Hoeven family.

Very friendly and a very good service!
Tailor Made Safaris made for us a very nice trip to the Elephant Coast. In the 3 weeks we have seen a big variety of animals and beautiful landscapes. The guide was very nice and frendly and has a lot of experiance. The guide from Tailor Made Safaris took us to the most special and beautiful places in this area and show us a lot of wild animals. We have visited a lot of very nice and high luxury resorts. South Africa is a very beautiful country with very nice people and this is a reason once to go back to South Africa. We want to thank Tailor Made Safaris for the hospitality. Keep on going!!

Great Tailormade adventure!
For the second year on a row we booked our holiday to South Africa with Tailormade Safaris. This time we wanted to visit Kruger National Park and surrounding game reserves. Also the Panoramaroute was on our wishlist. Tailormade Safaris did everything they could to find the most suiting accommodations and game reserves. Two weeks before we starten our trip to South Africa we got a selfdrive book with all the information you need during a selfdrive holiday. The holiday itself was absolutely great/amazing/the best ever! The accommodations and game reserves we visited where all outstanding! Lot's of beautiful animals and nature. We also had a private game drive to Hluhluwe-iMfolozi with Tailormade Safaris, this day was unforgetable. We really enjoyed our trip! Next time we go to South Africa we are definitely getting aan other tailormade holiday with Tailormade Safaris

A perfectly organized trip
Our family (5 adults) went to the Elephant Coast in South Africa in July. Our trip was well planned and had a programme with very much variation in it . We visited six places in total including Drakensbergen, Karkloof, St Lucia, Hluhluwe-Umfolozi, Tembe and Ponta-d'Ouro ( Mozambique) . We had amazing experiences and sightings at every destination. Unfortunately we only saw 3 of the big five . The hippo's crossing the road in St Lucia when we walked back from our dinner, the BBQ visit of the hyena's in Umfolozi and the PADI dive course in Ponta-d'Ouro were unforgettable!
Angela was always helpful and nothing ever was too much trouble . Overall, the holiday and 'Tailor made Safaris' surpassed our expectations and we will highly recommend this organisation to our friends . If we return to SA it will be with Tailor made Safari's again .

Great experience in South-Africa with kids!
At the start of our Holidays we received a personalized safari-book. This was like a bible for us, bringing us to all places, explaining how travel and tips work, telling us where to do our shopping and where to go. We travelled with three kids (age 15, 12, 9). We enjoyed the animals, the lodges in the parks, the birds and the people. The guides we met have a lot of knowledge about nature. We especially enjoyed the cultural village tour, where Pumi showed us the village of her husband and where we met her mother-in-law who cooked us a lunch. She had a piano in her living-room at which our kids started to play and the young kids that were around started to sing. The visit at the church was also a nice experience, also here very friendly people! It is nice to combine nature with culture in a country like South-Africa!

A perfectly organized trip by Tailor Made Safaris!
We just got back from an unforgettable holiday full of beautiful nature and culture in St. Lucia and Cape Town. South Africa. The St. Lucia part of our trip was perfectly organized by Tailor Made Safaris, purely filled with highlights. One of them was the game drive in Hluhluwe-Imfolozi. After many hours of spotting animals in the extremely comfortable safari bus and a delicious 'braai' we still could not get enough of it, thanks to the great knowledge and enthusiasm of our guide. During our stay the service of Tailor Made Safaris was excellent from start to finish (communication, accommodation, game-drives and tours). Next time we definitely will let them organize our trip again.
