Unforgettable journey
21 days in South Africa. Everything was excellent organised by Tailor Made Safaris.
We visited Mkuze, Tembe, Saint Lucia, Hluhluwe, Ithala and Zululand Rhino Reserve.
The organisation promised us lots of animals, and we saw them. Accomodations where excellent. The communication with the organisation if needed was also excellent.
In short...............A perfect holliday

A holiday we will never forget about!
Our holiday with Tailor Made Safaris was simply amazing. When we received the book they made specially for us we could already start to get excited and look forward to our holiday even more! To experience all those amazing parks they had chosen for us and to go and visit them was simply stunning. Nothing was too much trouble, we were welcomed with open arms and the hospitality was of very high standards. This holiday was everything we expected and a whole lot more than that too! The organisation has thought of absolutely everything. We would also like to take this opportunity to give a big thanks to Paul, our gide during 2 game drives! His enthusiasm and knowledge of everything nature has got to offer is beyond words and very impressive. Thank you all for this wonderful experience in the beautiful country of South-Africa!

Diverse, fantastic, beautiful and lovely, nature and animals- we are booking again!
We visited SA from 23/8 - 12/9 2014. From the moment we asked TMS to help us plan our trip it was well organized. Quick and clear communication about possibilities and wishes. It was great to receive the mobile phone and GPS coordinates (does give a safe feeling). We visited, Drakensberg Mountains, Kloof (durban), Rocktail Beach camp, Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, Sint Lucia Estuary and the Zululand Rhino Reserve. All the places had their own beauty and characteristics so we can't give a favorite....(however the baby giraffe and the lion cubs scored high!) the combination of lodges and self catered houses was a good mix of being taken care of and do it yourself.
It was such a good experience that we have booked again for dec 2015- jan 2016 heading for Kaapstad, Garden Route, Addo Elephant Park :)

A great experience again !
This trip was again a great experience with Tailor Made Safaris. The accomodations, vehicle, safaris and guides of Tailor Made were well organised again. We visited Drakensbergen, Ithala, Mkuze, St. Lucia, Hluhluwe and Kruger National Park. In Thendele Camp - Drakensbergen and Ntshondwe – Ithala the view from our lodge was incredible. The whole journey we have seen a lot of wild animals and birds. The service is excellent. It is realy a tailor made safari !

An unforgettable journey !!!
What can we say about our 31day self-drive tour in South Africa with Tailor Made Safari’s ?
It was fantastic !!!
Thanks to TMS we have had an unforgettable journey. We have been to the Drakensbergen, St. Lucia, Tembe, Kosi Bay, Mkuze, Hluhluwe and Capetown. Everything is so well organized by TMS. Your holiday starts at home when you receive your personal pre-departure pack (GPS navigation system, South African cell phone and a tailor made book providing all the day-to-day information with beautiful photos). Our whole stay was a highlight, but our favorites were Didima Camp in the Drakensbergen, Tembe Elephant Park and our stay in Capetown. We saw a lot of animals in the Game reserves. In Capetown we got a personal guide (Michel) for one week. He took us to all the beautiful places in and around Capetown (Cape Point, Table Mountain, Hermanus, Gansbaai) . We even saw an albino Southern right whale in Hermanus!!! If you want to go on a holiday to South Africa and you just want to enjoy it and don’t have to worry about anything else….....book with Tailor Made Safari’s.
Thank you TMS team en especially our guide Michel in Capetown for making a dream come true !!!

Again SafarisopMaat made our dreams comes true.
For me and my wife it was the second time that we made the choise for Zuid Afrika. It was te second time that we traveled whit Tailor Made Safaris(TMS). Last year TMS planed for us an unforgetteble yourney. And I never chance what's good. For the other two members on our journey it was the first time in Zuid Afrika. But we have all enjoyed. It was amazing. The way you get your information before you leave for South Africa. The things the deliver for the journey. And then what you receive in South Africa. The Games Reserves, the lodges ( carefully selected / whit nice people and great quality of living and service ) , not much travelling/driving during your holidays an the support from TMS when you need it during your journey etc.etc.. It's amazing.
Thank you Geert, Freya, Angela and Claire, you made our dreams come true (again).
Bye Bye from Katwijk, Holland

An amazing holiday!!
We have just returned from an amazing trip to South Africa where we visited the Cape and Elephant Coast. What a fantastic time we had, and everything was so well organised! The order of destinations in which Tailor Made Safaris put our itinerary together was perfect, and so were the activities they had included. Our favourites were Tembe Elephant Park where we felt we were treated as kings, and Mavela Game Lodge where the game viewing was just unreal! Four black rhino, cheetah with three cubs, lions on a kill, and much, much more. We highly recommend Tailor Made Safaris to everyone, and are pretty certain we ourselves will be back in the near future! Rik, Jarco & Richard

Tailor Made Safaris organized a wonderful trip to St Lucia, Mavela, Battlefields and Drakensbergen.
Everything was very good organized, so there where no problems at all. All of us where very enthousiastic about the tours, the guides, de game drives and the B&B's, guesthouses and lodges. We will recommend Tailor Made Safaris to our friends when they lik to visit South Africa.

Our first time in South Africa, what a great experience!
We booked our 24 day self-drive tour with Tailor Made Safari’s.
A few weeks before departure we received our self- drive pack, including a GPS and wonderful travel guide book, written specifically for our itinerary.
Our whole tour consisted of highlights, but our favourites where our stay at Leopard Mountain Lodge and Tembe Elephant Park. And we really enjoyed our first guided drive through the iSimangaliso Wetland Park with a great guide and lunch at the beach.
But our visit to the Drakensberg and the whale watching at St Lucia was also superb!
We saw lots of animals, but we have not seen the leopard from the Big 5, a good reason to go back again!
It’s likely we are going to book another tour with Tailor Made Safari’s. We would recommend this tour operator to anyone, everything was perfectly organised. We have experienced the booking process to be very convenient and personal, especially the personal visit by one of their representatives whilst staying in St Lucia
Overall a fantastic holiday!
