Tailormade Africa were peerless in the planning and support of our fabulous safari
We travelled to Tanzania, visiting four parks and ending in Zanzibar. We developed the itinerary with Rob Morely almost a year before we left. He was supremely helpful in suggesting where we should go and extremely patient with my questions and changes of mind. The itinerary proved to be superb – several guides commented on what an exceptionally wonderful trip we had organized.
We had excellent advice pre-trip about clothing, vaccinations, visas – nothing was too much trouble. During our trip we were supported by Clyde Beatty – who was highly responsive to all communications, replying through Whatsapp within minutes. Everything in our complex trip went smoothly, the only snag was a change in flight time from Zanzibar that Clyde solved with new arrangements with minimal input from us – it was outstanding.
I would recommend Tailormade Africa without hesitation – we could not have had a better experience. The trip was beyond our expectations – the camps, guides and experiences were all perfect. This is a reflection of the deep knowledge and expertise that Rob and Clyde bring to the table – they are both brilliant. This was a “trip of a lifetime” for us and beyond what we hoped for. Thank you Tailormade Africa.

Personalised and exceptional service
Rob listened to our brief and asked all the right questions (even asking questions that I had not considered!). The communication until booking was super efficient and we found ourselves booking in no time. The travel app allowed us to know exactly what we were doing and when, which was super. The actual travel experience was organised to the 'nth degree'. I could not have hoped for more local attention and help at the airports and the camps and anything in between. We did 3 fabulous camps in Kenya and everything went exactly to plan. It was just marvelous and Rob's team on the ground were just fantastic. It was a trip of a lifetime and we could not have done it without Rob's insight and experience and the organisation that Tailormade Africa provided.

Perfectly planned and Organised Africa trip
Rob and the team at Tailormade helped us plan, book and faultlessly execute an amazing trip to Africa with 5 countries and 12 flights- accommodation was magnificent, guides/drivers/help was always on time, courteous and informative. Can't thank them enough- and if you're struggling for inspiration, omg Uganda, wow Tsowa Island Zimbabwe and visit heaven on Pemba Island- can't wait to book our next African adventure in 2027! Thanks team

The best way to experience Tanzania
We booked this as our dream bucket list holiday and it did not disappoint. The team at Tailormade Africa were fantastic and really got to know us and what we liked before recommending itineraries and accommodation etc. We really appreciated that personal touch versus other tour companies. We loved every moment of our trip and it was made so seamless from start to finish. The communication was so easy and even when the internet went down in Tanzania for a week, Rob managed to check in with us to make sure we were ok and that our flight was fine too (even though we booked our flights separately). They really do care that everything goes perfectly. We would highly highly recommend Tailormade Africa and will definitely look to book with them again in the future.

Our Dream Tanzanian Honeymoon
My husband and I got married in September 2025 and were toying with many locations for our honeymoon. We are from the UK which is renowned for its damp weather; this was our only specification for our honeymoon at this point… somewhere sunny and hot!!! Europe in September is pleasant, but not as warm as we would like for our honeymoon. In came the wonders of Chat GPT… “where should we honeymoon in September if we want sunshine and heat?”
“TANANZIAN SAFARI”
We had never thought of a safari. The closest we have been to wild animals is at our local zoo. We were up for a huge adventure and something totally different so thought, why not?! However, we were totally overwhelmed with where to start. We had so many questions. Is it safe? Where in Tanzania should we go? Who is going to be our safari tour operator? Where are we going to stay? Imagine if we arrived and everything we booked was all a scam? What if we are 4500 miles away from home with no where to stay?! We rapidly went off the idea. The most we had ever planned was a trip to NYC!! But there was an itch we could not scratch with the idea of a safari… it was such a big trip and would be very fitting for our honeymoon. I said to my husband “I’m going to Google ‘luxury safari honeymoon’ for ideas, but we obviously won’t go with anybody as it’ll be too expensive”. That’s when we found Tailormade Africa. Their website seemed too good to be true… a UK-based company would actually plan our whole trip for us?? At no extra cost?? This must be dodgy. We looked at the reviews and my goodness, they spoke for themselves. In hindsight, they were all so accurate too! We scheduled a chat with Rob, just to ask some questions and see how feasible it could be.
Rob’s confidence on this topic was obvious from the get-go, which put us at great ease. Nothing seemed impossible and Rob was full of amazing ideas and suggestions. We ended the call feeling excited and reassured. We went away and had a think about what Rob had told us and scheduled another call to start organising our trip. The conversations we had whilst organising our trip with Rob were in-depth, never rushed and easy to understand. We didn’t feel overwhelmed at any point of the process. Rob’s confidence started to seep into us and with the help of Rob’s suggestions and own experiences, we organised things that were way out of our comfort zones and would never have booked for ourselves if it wasn’t off the back of Rob’s recommendation. Thank god we listened to him because we now have the experiences of a lifetime under our belt.
A few highlights of our trip that pushed us out of our comfort zones included:
- staying in tented camps as our accommodation, as opposed to lodges
- hot air balloon over the Serengeti
- staying on a remote island (Pemba)
- entertaining the idea of going somewhere with no wifi!!!
We totally relied on Rob’s recommendation for everything and very much went with the flow. Rob put together a document of all our different options and with that, we tailored our trip around cost and level of luxury. Rob has some amazing contacts and the places that we stayed were just incredible. The views were amazing. The food was very, very good. The people were sensational. The rooms/tents were perfect. We ranged our accommodation from tented camps, to bungalows, to luxury rooms at Four Seasons, to seafront Villas in Pemba.
Our itinerary included:
- 10 nights on Safari (staying in Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Highlands, Central Serengeti)
- 1 night in Stone Town, Zanzibar
- 7 nights in Pemba
Whilst we were in Tanzania, Rob was contactable at all times should we need him. 9 times out of 10, we only made contact to show Rob what we were up to and that he was right all along… that we were going to have the best time!!!
We had so many questions in the run up and all the team at Tailormade Africa were patient, more than helpful, and very understanding.
I could go on and on about our experience with Rob and Tailormade Africa. All I can say is that Rob and his team designed the perfect trip for us and made our honeymoon exactly what we dreamed of and more. We put all of our faith and trust into them and they did not disappoint. Our photos speak for themselves and show just a smidgen of the amazing experiences we now have. What a way to start married life!
Thank you Tailormade Africa. We always said “we will go big with this trip as we will never do it again”… and now, we are thinking, shall we visit Zambia or Botswana next?!
