Lifetime experience
Million thanks to Travel for Change Africa company for our unforgettable honeymoon :) Before our wedding, we started to look for nice experience that would not be so easy to forget like usual beach holiday. Safaribookings.com was a good web to compare various Safari providers. Our only wish was to have it quite short due to limited holiday time. Travel for Change Africa had a great offer which was 3 day long. Anyway, when we started to chat with company directly (best regards to Patricia!) our plans changed a bit and we were convinced to go for 4 night Safari in 2 parks. We visited Mikumi national park, and as well Selous reserve. Between these parks there is quite a long distance to drive, so we spent some time on the road which was also very nice because we had a chance to see local life.
All in all, everything was really perfect- Patricia and her team made a great job advising where to go, giving tips for travelling, and well offering several different options that we would be able to choose. All our questions were answered and we booked the trip. We did not have to worry about anything. Our wonderful German speaking guide Emmanuel met us in the airport, and together with the best driver-guide in the world Iman took care of us during all our stay. In the end they arranged flight tickets to Zanzibar for us to continue the journey.
This was our first safari ever, so can strongly say - I was expecting expecting to see a huge zoo, but this was far away from my imagination. It is stunning when you drive through the field and suddenly see a giraffe or zebra close to you in the bush. We brought back thousand pictures. Other tourists we saw were on group rides, with the open cars, and more or less sticking to the routes. and they definitely were jealous for us because we could drive wherever we wanted or to watch something as long as we wanted..
So to sum up, I strongly recommend Travel for Change Africa - excellent communication, very polite and helpful staff, perfect organisational skills and customer oriented attitude. 10/10!
To the ones who are still not sure - go for safari, you will never forget this experience.
And we are definitely coming back just next time during migration :) See you soon!

Dream trip of lifetime with difficult and strenuous tansportation.
The guides/drivers and itinerary were outstanding! Guides knowledge of game preserves and animals was top notch. There are no suggestions for improvement. Some of our vehicles were old and in need of replacement, causing delays in already long days. Most hotels and tents at Serengetti were outstanding. Mountain Inn staff needs better training on providing service and how to serve hot food.

Superb experience - Couldn't fault it
We booked our Safari with Bestday based on a recommendation and we were not disappointed. We had completed a climb to Kilimanjaro and decided to tack on a safari. Peter was very easy to deal with - very quick to reply to communications and was very clear about everything. Our guide was Jackson was superb - he had fantastic eyesight and was able to point out a variety of animals for us - We saw everything we wanted to see and more. The accomodation was amazing, our only regret was not staying longer. Jackson and Peter - many many thanks for an unforgettable experience

A perfectly organized and safe trip with guaranteed sight on hippos, elephants and crocodiles
A perfectly organized and safe trip with guaranteed sight on hippos, elephants and crocodiles.
Good solid canoes, also for starting canoeists. Camping on safe sandbanks in well-ventilating tents under a beautiful starry sky with experienced guides which could still cook well too .
Natureways was very helpful in preparing for the trip from Harare to Kariba. We chose to travel by public transport. You are from Harare for 2 hours longer on the road but get a beautiful picture of life in Zimbabwe and that for only $ 10 for the whole single trip.

Amazing 7 day tour experience in Uganda
Excellent communications with Peter throughout the planning and booking process. I was travelling solo, and had a tailored tour, with all the activities I wanted to fit in within the 7 days. Peter was there to pick me up and drop me from the airport, and during the rest of the time I had a fantastic guide called Amos who has the sharpest eyes in the country - he could spot every animal and bird from far off! Highly recommended.

Highly recommended!
We booked a 3-day safari to Amboseli National Park with Africa Flash Mc Tours and we had an amazing experience! The booking process and pre-safari communication was perfectly handled by Peter. We were very well thought after during the whole safari , the accommodations were lovely and our guide was very nice and knowledgeable.
On our request, they were able to arrange the airport pick-up in Nairobi and transfer to Tanzania where we continued our trip.
It was truly a magical experience!

Supportive, personal and straightforward
This whole South Africa holiday experience was, for us, an amazing one and these guys at Taylormade made it all so very easy. "You'll be met at Cape Town" they said and sure enough a man waiting to take us to the baggage reclaim and to our car.
The trip was described as a South African taster and was a self drive along the Garden Route taking in Cape Towns culture, Winelands wine, Hermanus and the whales, Knysna for us a chill out and feet up! and the final 5 nights a mix of sightseeing and animals.
Every hotel we stayed in was well described and a very good standard. We covered around 1100 miles in our hire car which was already pre-booked by Taylormade on roads that was a joy to drive on, although that wasn't anything to do with Taylormade!
If at anytime we had any question both Clyde and Rob knew exactly what the answer was.
We would love to return to South Africa and if we do, we will be using Taylormade again.
Thanks
