Perfect Vacation planned by Southbound.
It was so easy to work with Marco at Southbound. He listened to what we wanted and adjusted his recommendations based on our preferences. His response to messages was almost immediate. Our driver, Boyckey was skilled, friendly, and knowledgeable. His English was perfect. We went for luxury and weren’t disappointed. We highly recommend Southbound Tours.

Unforgettable Safari and Beach Escape in Kenya
Our safari in Kenya was an unforgettable adventure! From the moment we started planning, the owner, Peter, made everything easy—always responsive and helpful with any questions we had. Our driver/guide was reliable and got us safely to where we needed to be. The game drives and animal sightings were absolutely incredible. We loved every moment of seeing the animals up close in their natural habitat. The accommodations at each hotel were comfortable and well-managed, and ending our journey with a relaxing stay at the Diani Beach Resort was the perfect touch. Truly a trip we’ll never forget!

An African safari expert.
I dealt with Clyde at Tailormade Africa having had him referred to me by friends I trust. My wife and I wanted an authentic, off the beaten track, "Hemingway" type of safari experience. We still want to stay in lovely places, but didn't want to share our experience with lots of other people. We were prepared to miss out on seeing some of the big favourites if it meant seeing more of the real, unspoilt Africa.
Cylde at Tailormade really listened to us during our briefing. We discussed and considered Zambia in some detail, but eventually plumped for two camps in Ruaha, one of the biggest, yet one of the least popular parks in Tanzania.
Our experience in the two camps and on safari exceeded our lofty expectations. The land was full of drama and in our second camp, we didn't see another vehicle at all during the four days we were there. We had amazing experiences with numerous wild animals and it is a trip that will live with us for the rest of our lives.
Clyde hit the brief perfectly. He understood what was important to us and delivered on it. All the smaller details were taken care of, from the bottle of fizz waiting for us to mark our 25th wedding anniversary at the first camp, down to the fast tracking through customs on the way home, when we had three flights back to London. My wife and I have travelled extensively in our lives and this was the best holiday we've ever had. Enough said.

The BEST safari tour guide!
We chose Tanzania and Top Selected Tour for our honeymoon, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. The experience could not have been more unforgettable, especially because we had Jackson as our safari tour guide. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara.
There are many good things about Jackson and reasons to visit Safari with Top Selected Tours:
1) Jackson is never tired to bring you around.
He always encouraged us to make the most of our time, no matter how early it was in the morning or how many hours we had already spent outside. Every time we were ready, he was ready too, full of energy and excitement. What stood out most was that he didn’t just “take us around”, he made thoughtful suggestions on where to go and when, so that we had the best chance to see animals in their natural setting. You could feel that he truly enjoyed sharing his knowledge and passion, and that made us feel even more comfortable and inspired to explore.
2) You get to see wild animals very close.
I have to admit, I was not originally a huge fan of animals. But this trip changed me completely. Jackson knew exactly how to position us safely while still giving us a thrilling, close-up view of lions, elephants, giraffes, and so many others. It felt like stepping into a real-life documentary, with the kind of awe you can never feel through a screen. Seeing these animals in their natural habitat, behaving as they would without disturbance, was breathtaking. I truly fell in love with safari after this visit, and I now understand why so many people call it a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
3) Jackson’s knowledge and thoughtful explanations
He was not just a driver taking us around, but a true storyteller of the safari. Jackson shared fascinating details about the animals’ behaviors, their habitats, and even the smaller things like birds that we might have otherwise overlooked. Because of his explanations, it wasn’t just about seeing, it was about understanding. Every moment felt richer and more meaningful, turning the trip into an experience we could deeply connect with.
Once again, we want to sincerely thank Jackson for making our honeymoon safari such an unforgettable experience. His passion, energy, and kindness turned this trip into something far beyond what we imagined, it truly became the highlight of our journey and a memory we will cherish forever.
