An excellent tour operator who stands for expert advice when putting together customized trips.
5/5

We had been looking forward to it for a long time. Our trip to Namibia in March 2020. After 2 beautiful trips with Tailor Made Safaris to South Africa, they put together a tour for us through Namibia. We were already impressed by the beautiful nature of South Africa, but after almost 3 weeks in Namibia we can add another country to our list of impressive and beautiful countries. Traveling through this country you will experience one surprise after another. A diversity of untouched nature. Panoramic views and colourfulness. It was breathtakingly beautiful. The Kalahari, the KgalagadiTransfrontier Park with an abundance of animals and birds, the Quivertree Forrest, the natural beauty of the Fish River Canyon, the Namib Desert, Sossusvlei, the Naukluft National Park, the stay in Swakopmund and Etosha (with again large amounts of animals and birds) what an alternation of areas. Even moving from one area to another was breathtaking. The words "wow" and "amazing" have been said a lot on the way to and on location, but we also often fell silent. Caught by the beauty of nature, it was quiet enjoyment! With our Toyota Fortuner 4x4 we were able to travel in a luxurious and relaxed way on roads that are not always comparable to those in the Netherlands. Every day was enjoying and recovering from all impressions. We were allowed to do that in very luxurious lodges and cozy basic but also luxurious accommodations in the parks. Everything was provided by Tailor Made Safaris. That made our holiday an unforgettable.We had a wonderful stay in Namibia at a time when the Corona virus spread all over the world. The consequences of this also occurred to us when our airline did not respond to emails. At that moment Tailor made Safaris have shown that they are also there for their guests when problems arise. In consultation with Tailor Made Safaris, we were given tickets on a repatriation flight, the last one from Namibia before they locked down the country. This allowed us to continue our journey and continue to enjoy all the beauty of nature. We already knew that Tailor Made Safaris guarantees quality and that you can count on them. That was confirmed once again with this wonderful journey and their help. Thank you to Nick and thanks to your crew, you were great. Bram, Rina, Aria and Marco Barnhoorn.

Excellent trip to Elephant Coast
5/5

Well looked after in adance of the trip and pleasently surprised at the amount of contact during the trip rather than 'being abandoned' once the trip started. Felt safe and supported throughtout from planning through to being there.
I cannot reccomend Katie and this company more. Katie heard our likes and dislikes, designed a trip around these, adjusted as requested, made suggestions and gave us a real trip of a lifetime.

A second tailor made trip, perfectly arranged by Tailor Made Safaris
5/5

All our wishes have been fullfilled in our second trip that Angela has made for us. No question was too much and we did get a quick response every time. The knowledge about the accomodations and safari options proposed was great. The complete trip was filled with highlights of the Elephant Coast.
Two weeks before our trip we received an amazing personalized photo album. Everything necessary was found within the book, meaning we did not have to bring any loose paperwork with us. The accommodations and safaris were amazing. And so was the contact with our advisor Angela! We definitely recommend this company!

We went to South Africa with Tailor Made Safaris for a second time. Both trips went very well! The whole trip is tailor-made to your wishes, while they give great tips during the process. After arrival there is regular contact and they are there when necessary to solve any issues. In short; if you want to discover South Africa, definitely get in touch with Tailor Made Safaris and have them put together the journey of a lifetime.

an unforgettable, beautiful tour through South-Africa
5/5

Thank you, Tailor Made Safaris, for an unforgettable, personalized 17-day tour through beautiful South Africa!

We have been in contact with this organization since the travel fair last January, and immediately we were appealed to them, simply because the whole trip can be put together according to your own wishes.
From the beginning to the end, it was perfectly arranged! Two weeks before departure, we received a personalized book containing our travel information, which was all very clear. On arrival we were received in a kind and friendly way and received a box with cellphone, which contained a GPS, internet and required telephone numbers. There were also other supplies for the car, such as plugs and chargers within the box. Angela even visited us during our stay in St. Lucia.
There were many options available, during which Tailor Made Safaris gave us many tips. The accommodations were all in great condition. If we had any questions, Angela or her colleagues, were easy to reach out to and they responded very quick. Even in bad (weather) circumstances, they immediately gave us other alternatives for activities.
It was an unforgettable trip for us, even with a marriage proposal. Tailor Made Safaris has thought carefully about the most perfect location. We definitely recommend a trip through South Africa with Tailor Made Safaris!!

Tailor Made Safaris made a fantastic trip for us.
5/5

After visiting the holiday fair (in Utrecht), where we were introduced to Tailor Made Safaris and the possibilities they offered, Tailor Made Safaris has put together a fantastic self-drive tour for us. They listened carefully to what we wanted and gave it a perfect interpretation. The chosen locations were all special and varied. Tailor Made Safaris has surprised us in an extremely positive way and is definitely recommended for an unforgettable trip through South Africa!

We have had a mar-ve-lous trip.
5/5

To all employees of Tailor Made Safaris and SPECIFICALLY ANGELA,
We have had a mar-ve-lous trip; perfectly organized, full of enthusiasm, empathy and the willingness to arrange a great deal. The manual that is the travel book, I call it our magic book, opened almost all doors. Almost all information was perfect; coordinates, distances, circumstances, tips, recommended departure times and additional information. The fact that employees are familiar with most accommodations keeps the lines very short. Angela was always "close by" and available almost all day and night; always willing to support. She even visited us at the lodge in St. Lucia. We particularly appreciated that.

Small, but very useful or important tips indicate that they have really thought about everything. Remarks about possible salt in the photo equipment for whale watching; and there even being a rain program, which we did not have to use.

To criticize anything on traveling is almost impossible which is the "problem" for your organization; to maintain this enormously high level in the coming years. Good luck with that, but you are guaranteed to succeed.

A 10+ for our experience with Tailor Made Safaris. From beginning to end it exceeded our expectation
5/5

We came into contact with them through the holiday fair in Holland and were impressed with their presentation. We booked the Elephant Coast safari with them and the communication with them ( what do we want, budget) was without any problem. I also liked the personal contact with them. When we arrived in Durban our suitcases where left behind. They immediately took over and arranged everything for us and kept us posted so we knew what was going on and later the same day the suitcases arrived in our lodge. Al we needed to do was to enjoy our time there. The fact that we received a beautiful travelbook together with the phone and navigation was perfect. Step by step was very wel explained in the book. We truly felt their involvement. We have already decided that in two years time we will book another holiday with them. I can recommend Tailor Made Safaris to everybody. Special thanks to Angela and Annelies.
