Professional and caring organization. Benson is all you need.
My husband and I just returned from our safari with Benson Safari, which took place from September 26 to October 7th. From the beginning of my trip planning, which started a year before, Benson and his team made sure that our visit to Tanzania would be unforgettable, and it was. Over the year, I made several changes and asked many questions, and he never made me feel that I was asking too many questions. Benson was always ready for a WhatsApp call when communication through email didn’t seem enough. Ultimately, our trip was beyond my expectations.
We booked an 11-day safari and stayed two nights at each location. We started at Tarangire, then to Ngorongoro, Mara River, Central Serengeti, and ended at Lake Manyara to unwind. Our driver and guide, Liberatus, was the face of Benson Safari and was terrific. He is gentle, patient, and always willing to go the extra distance, literally, for the best sightings. I don’t know how he does it, but we were often the first vehicle at the scene, witnessing nature's drama unfold. Liberatus knew how to position the jeep so that a cheetah jumped onto the hood of our jeep; we watched vultures and storks attack a recently killed zebra, again the first to arrive at this sight. We saw the river crossings and had an excellent view. Over and above the big 5, we love sighting birds. Liberatus was excellent in pointing out the wide variety of beautiful and colourful birds during our safari and gave us the time to take fantastic pictures. Pole Pole was how we travelled, and it paid off. After spending 11 nights with him, he was a part of our family. And we miss him.
Don’t hesitate to sign up for this epic adventure with Benson Safari. Benson and his team will do everything to ensure you will be well taken care of through your safari. They are quick to reply to your questions, patient, and professional. The travel, from airport pickup to safari to dropoff, was seamless, and the accommodations exceeded our expectations. Asante Sana, Benson, for making this once-in-a-lifetime adventure the most brilliant we’ve had. And thank you for the delicious coffee! Reflecting on our journey, we are filled with a deep sense of satisfaction and fulfillment, knowing we've experienced something truly remarkable.
I only wish we could do this again. It’s like being in a real-life Jurassic Park, with breathtaking and awe-inspiring moments at every turn.

Expert and Careful
We met Mohammed Billow through mutual friends and we are grateful they recommended him.
Mohammed’s attention to detail is excellent and he truly cares about giving his customers the best experience possible.
Thanks to his knowledge of animal behaviors and the areas and parks we visited, we were able to experience and enjoy our dream safari.
We would choose this company again and again upon traveling to the region.

Tailormade Africa offers exceptional, individually customized tour experiences with 1-on-1 service.
Rob put together the most incredible itinerary for our honeymoon. When we first decided that we wanted to honeymoon in South Africa, we found ourselves overwhelmed with decisions. We reached out to Tailormade Africa and let them know that we both had never been to Africa and that we needed some serious guidance! We had a video call with Rob who took the time to get to know us - listening to our interests, expectations and wishes. From there, he presented us with an itinerary perfectly suited to our personalities and travel interests.
We spent time in Cape Town, Franschhoek and Hermanus – loving the diverse wildlife, wine and culinary scene each place offered. The highlight our of trip though would have to be our stays at Rhino Ridge Lodge and Thonga Beach Lodge. At both lodges the staff were friendly and provided a high level of service, the guides were knowledgeable, and the food exceeded our expectations. The lodges were intimate and offered us the perfect time to disconnect. There is nothing quite like the experience of being surrounded by giraffes, elephants, rhinos and many more living in their natural habitats!
We ended up renting a car to self drive from destination to destination. Though we had our reservations at first about driving, we ended up loving it. It gave us the freedom to set our own timetable and at no point did we ever feel unsafe. We were both grateful not to be in a stuffy tour bus with a bunch of other people.
Rob was always available on WhatsApp through our trip to check in and make sure everything was always to our liking. Though we didn’t run into any issues, it was comforting to know there was always support on hand. He even took the time to chat with us once we got back home to hear about our trip and any concerns, if we had any.
We chose Tailormade Africa in hopes that they would offer us a personalized experience that the big tour groups lack, and they did not disappoint. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again! Thank you again, Rob, and Tailormade Africa for the honeymoon of a lifetime.

Wonderful personalized safari exceeding all expectations. We had a trip of a lifetime!
We had a fabulous experience going on safaris in Kilimanjaro (Enduiment Reserve), Masai village, Moshi town, Selous National Park, swimming with horses in Zanzibar. Mr. Justine was able to arrange a very personalized tour, as we were pressed for time, but wanted to experience it all! He was very supportive even though we had to make frequent changes based on our requirements. While we didn’t have any luck sighting elephants in Selous, he personally made sure that we experience this in Enduiment. From coordinating the flights, to arranging very professional chauffeurs, even suggesting the best hotels as per our requirement. Mr. Justine made sure that my wife and I had a memorable trip. He even went out of the way to arrange a special dinner for my wife and I - when we requested to have a specific local dish on our last day of our trip. We definitely recommend Mr. Justine and Shammah Wonders if you need a personalized, tailored experience.

Excellent from beginning to end.
I took my family of 7 on safari with Inspired Feet Safaris and we all had such a great time. Moses, our Kenyan safari guide was the absolute best and will now forever be a part of our family. Joseph, our Tanzanian guide was also great and got us up close and personal with so many animals. Fiona planned everything out perfectly and dealt with all of my changes and questions. It was a fabulous experience all around.
