Amazing vacation thanks to Tailor Made Safaris!
In January, we visited the holiday fair at the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht. We were looking for a safari in South Africa. The presentation at the Safari op Maat stand was the deciding factor for us. A tailor-made safari (with lots of input from us) in South Africa's Elephant Coast. Tailor Made Safaris put together a fantastic self-drive tour for us.
Everything is well organized, they listen carefully to your wishes, no effort is too much, and answers to your questions are never long in coming (thanks to our personal contact Angela). We received a beautiful travel book in advance with all the addresses, information about the country, customs, and where to find the best restaurants. The personal contact during the trip is also great.
We traveled through South Africa for 24 days—from Cape Town to the Drakensberg Mountains, Kosi Bay, Tembe Elephant Park, St. Lucia, Pongola Game Reserve, etc. to Makongo Hills. Here we experienced an unplanned trip, attaching a tracker to an elephant. In a word, it was a great vacation!
Special thanks to Angela.
Tailor Made Safaris - highly recommended!

A fantastic experience.
A fantastic experience. Great organisation. Very personal. All questions were answered and every issue was resolved. The only thing we underestimated was the driving time — in reality it took longer because of the many potholes. Tailor Made Safaris truly lives up to its name! Highly recommended!

Very helpfull
We travelled through South Africa for 20 days with our family — from Cape Town to the Drakensberg Mountains and on to many incredible game drives. Everything was perfectly organized by Tailor Made Safaris.
Beautiful locations and clear descriptions in our travel booklet, where every detail of the journey was laid out perfectly. Unforgettable moments and encounters with wildlife — in short, an amazing experience.
Many thanks to the team at Tailor Made Safaris!

Great tour operators
Waiting for our flight back to Amsterdam after an amazing trip perfectly organized by Tailor Made Safaris.
From game drives to kayaking and snorkeling, walking safaris and bush braais — sleeping in beautiful tents and ending in a super-luxurious lodge. What an absolute treat!
Once again, a huge thank you to Candace for putting together such a perfectly planned trip 🐘🦛🦏🦁♥️🍀

Easy accessable and always thinking ahead (with you), very well organised!
Just returned from an amazing trip with Tailor Made Safaris to Cape Town and the Elephant Coast — our second journey with them. This time, Candace arranged everything perfectly for us.
Beforehand, communication via email was quick and clear, and of course, we received the beautiful photo book containing all the information we needed for the trip. The itinerary was thoughtfully structured, saving the best for last. We didn’t spend too much time driving and got to see and do so many wonderful things — all at a very reasonable price!

Your Destination Expert for South Africa
Our family adventure in South Africa and Mozambique was a perfectly organized trip all around. Liska organized great accommodations and excursions for us and was available at all times before and during the trip. It was wonderful that we even met in person. We felt safe and secure with four children at all times and are taking home wonderful memories and experiences. Thank you so much, Liska, for your wonderful support!

What a wonderful trip we had, organised by tailor-made safaris
We had an absolutely fantastic trip, expertly arranged by Safaris op Maat. The itinerary featured a wonderful mix of beautiful lodges and diverse landscapes. Communication throughout was excellent—via email, WhatsApp, and in person in St. Lucia. During the planning stage, we received a detailed online proposal with all the essential information, and one to two weeks before departure, a clear and comprehensive travel book with everything we needed for the trip.
We traveled with three adults in August 2025, visiting the Drakensberg, Ithala, St. Lucia, Kosi Bay, and other quiet, off-the-beaten-path locations. We loved the small-scale, varied lodges, which offered a truly unique experience. The game drives were especially enjoyable, with a maximum of three vehicles in the area, instead of 20 all racing to see the animals first.
What we appreciated most was the relaxed pace—less time spent traveling, more time experiencing the destinations. After all, we already spend plenty of time driving in our daily lives!

Super!
First time to South Africa and went to sea with Safaris op maat. Liska arranged everything well. Everything is clearly described in the book that we received in advance. Beautiful locations, always reachable, great holiday, super arranged. Holiday is also really tailor-made and there is personal contact during the trip. We met Liska in St Lucia. Safaris op maat is definitely recommended.
