A great company who take the time to get to know you to craft your perfect experience.
My wife and I had a genuinely fantastic experience working with Rob Morley at Tailormade Africa to plan our Safari to celebrate our marriage. From the very beginning, Rob was genuinely interested in who we were as people - what we liked, what we did not like and what we wanted to get out of the experience. We spoke to Rob numerous times over the phone during the initial stages, which was a very different approach to other vendors we were also in contact with. Of course, budget was a big factor in what we could achieve from the trip and Rob was extremely honest and accommodating. Ultimately, what resulted was a trip of a lifetime for us at a price we were happy with. Communication with the whole team at Tailormade was extremely smooth and efficient, with great response times (over the phone and email before the trip). We felt looked after during the whole process and everything was organised for us. Once we began our trip, we did not have a single logistical issue. Being Africa, there were of course a few things that happened along the way but Tailormade were always there to mop anything up with the respective hotels/safari camp - we did not feel any disruption at all ourselves, repeating again how genuinely looked after we felt during the whole experience. During the trip, we were in regular contact with Rob via WhatsApp, just to make sure all was okay and this was appreciated, as we knew Rob was never far away. Tailormade also recommended clothing to wear, plus supported us with travel insurance and visa processes pre-trip, again making it all feel very smooth. Lastly, Tailormade are very knowledgeable of the areas of Africa that they specialise in and we do not think we would have had the same experience booking through another vendor - the recommendations from Tailormade were 100% unique. A huge thank you to the whole team at Tailormade for what was genuinely a holiday of a lifetime for us and we will always consider booking with them for future trips of this type. We would highly recommend you book through Tailormade for the personal touches they offer - go for someone smaller and you will feel the difference!

Great service from an engaged operator
My wife and I spent three very enjoyable weeks in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana. Tailormade Africa made all of the arrangements in and everything worked out well. The operator was responsive to requirements and every place we went to met or exceeded our expectations. All of our transfers to and from the airports, and camps were arranged and worked seamlessly. Clyde Beatty, our contact from Tailormade Africa, was very helpful during the planning, provided excellent advice and helpful tips.

For the once in a lifetime safari go no further than Tailormade Africa
Clyde and the team at Taylormade Africa take the guess work out of what is often a once in a lifetime safari. The upfront planning helps design a bespoke African experience which is second to none. The Safari was then fully planned with an interactive app to help layout the plan and provides useful information like visa requirements etc. Clyde and the team are then available when needed to help turn the plan into action. We had 2 weeks planned which included Kenya and Tanzania. We wanted to see the migration and also Ruaha in southern Tanzania. Taylormade Africa then booked all the accommodation, flights and transfers. From the time we landed in Kenya to being dropped off in Dar Es Salaam everything went to plan with first class service at every step. Clyde and the team checked in on us and are available if and when needed. The Serengeti is getting very crowded and you really need the services of Tailormade Africa to help you navigate the options and help make this an exceptional experience . Now how can we make this once in a lifetime holiday happen again. 5 stars to Tailormade Africa.

Amazing Trip organised to the tiny details. Can't wait to go back!
I've just returned from an incredible honeymoon in Zimbabwe organised by Clyde at Tailormade Africa. We couldn’t be more grateful for our experience with Clyde, his attentiveness and attention to detail from the initial planning to the moment we returned home. Clyde offered fantastic advice, tailoring our trip to include the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure across Hwange National Park, Zambezi National Park and Cape Town.
The safaris themselves were beyond our expectations. The accommodation options were beautiful, wildlife encounters unforgettable, and the level of care and friendliness of the staff was exceptional. The travel logistics were just as impressive — porters and drivers waiting for us at every stage to fast-track us through security and assist with visas, making the journey smooth and stress-free.
We were also impressed with the safety and health awareness in Zimbabwe. We were mostly located in relatively remote locations and low-density accommodations; with high hygiene standards we felt at ease and had no health concerns whilst in Africa. Everyone in Zimbabwe was welcoming and friendly, which added to the sense of comfort and security throughout our trip.
I would highly recommend Clyde and Tailormade Africa for anyone looking to explore Africa in a truly personalised way. We will be back in a few years :)
