An excellent holiday with Tailor Made Safaris
If you decide to book a safari in KwaZulu-Natal, Tailor Made Safaris is the perfect partner to turn all your wishes into an adventurous and beautiful experience. You immediately feel at ease while travelling through South Africa, thanks to a complete package of information and documentation, a TomTom navigation system, and a mobile phone (provided free of charge) by Tailor Made Safaris.
Once again, we enjoyed a wonderful, adventurous, and intense journey through beautiful South Africa, in KwaZulu-Natal. Everything was impeccably organised by Geert and his team at Tailor Made Safaris. Our trip took us, among other places, to Kosi Bay Forest Lodge, located in the stunning iSimangaliso Wetland Park, close to the Mozambican border. From there we spent a few nights in Tembe Elephant Park, followed by St Lucia, where—after five years—we finally experienced a very special evening scene: several hippos, including baby hippos, emerging from the river that runs alongside St Lucia and walking straight through the main street!
To conclude this exceptional journey—made even more meaningful by the three books we had read about the remarkable origins of this reserve—we spent three nights at Thula Thula: peace and tranquillity in the heart of Zululand.

An Unforgettable e Family Safari in South Africa
We traveled with **Safaris op Maat** and had an absolutely amazing holiday. We first met **Geert and Robin** at the Travel Fair, where we were able to clearly share our wishes. We were looking for a trip suitable for **teenagers**, with a **varied program**, **limited driving distances**, the opportunity to see the **Big Five**, and a good balance between **relaxation and activities**.
Based on one of their “standard” itineraries, a proposal was made and then fine-tuned together with us through short and efficient lines of communication. Accommodations and travel details were discussed and adjusted where needed to perfectly match our preferences. It truly felt like a tailor-made journey.
During the trip itself, communication remained excellent. We had direct contact with **Geert and his local team**, with easy and quick WhatsApp communication whenever needed, for example when something was unclear in the detailed travel documents. Any questions were answered promptly and professionally.
Thanks to the outstanding organization and personal approach, we could fully relax and enjoy our journey. **We had a fantastic holiday and highly recommend Safaris op Maat!**

In our experience, Tailor Made Safaris were friendly, helpful and well organised.
Our brief was a of mix of safaris and beach locations over Christmas and New Year. Candance provided us with a selection of game reserves and beach locations from which to choose. We found this extremely helpful given the huge number of options available to us. Candance went on to make the reservations for us and also arranged all our road transfers. We were in contact with Candance throughout our two week holiday, should we have needed anything. This just left us to sit back and enjoy. Which we did!

We have had the most wonderfull South Africa trip thanks to Tailor Made Safaris
Memories for a lifetime!!
And we made so many of them during our 35-day trip through South Africa.
From the very first moment, we had great and friendly contact with Robin, who put together this fantastic journey for us! We travelled with two young kids, and Robin knew all the perfect places and activities for us, allowing us to have an AMAZING trip with plenty of time to relax as well.
From farm stays to safaris, from penguins to hippos, from Table Mountain to the breathtaking views at Makongo — we enjoyed every single moment!
We would truly recommend everyone to plan their own trip through wonderful South Africa with Tailor Made Safaris!

A wonderful customised trip that ticked all the boxes
We were able to design a bespoke trip for a group, most of whom had never been to South Africa. Tailor Made Safaris were so thoughtful about our needs and wishes. Everyone had a truly magical experience.
We had great support and communication throughout.
