Personable, communicative, authentic and real attention to detail.
Very hard to fault Tailormade, extremely happy with their support from start to finish. Having planned lots of trips ourselves, I was blown away by how much time and stress was saved by working with them.
Extremely communicative from start to finish and truly felt looked after. Had full trust in everything booked and found that every part exceeded expectation.
Was also very nice to feel like we had a safety net, on hand immediately whenever we had minor hiccups whilst travelling. The support continued well after we returned, with Tailormade securing funds for trip unforeseen amendments and checking in to ensure that we were satisfied with our trip.
Truly feels as though you are working with a travel partner invested in you as a long term customer, not just a short term one off sale. This is where the true values lays in my opinion.

Best trip ever!
Just came from maasai mara safari with my group of friends to celebrate my birthday and we will be going back home with very fond memories we had, thanks to Jupicon making the safari happen. We loved their timely responses and support they offered us throughout the 5days we were there. I loved the maasai dances and cultural activities & talks they gave which was really impressive to learn. Our driver-guide was very cautious during the rainy days and ensured we stayed on the safe tracks and trails during the game drives mostly due to the rivers there. I just loved how our whole safari experience was executed and truly value for our money.

Chloe was extremely helpful and knowledge and a first-rate planner.
We are Americans who have never ventured beyond Europe, but decided to go to South Africa to visit a friend in Cape Town. We wanted to travel further after Cape Town, so I found Off2 Africa through a web search and worked with Chloe. She arranged flights and accommodations to Kruger National Park and Victoria Falls before heading home. What a great experience! At Kruger,
we stayed at Lukimbi Lodge, a small lodge at the south section of the park. We saw an amazing selection of animals and our ranger told us all about their habits and environment. We saw a lioness and her cubs up close - a site I will never forget. We had first-rate service throughout the stay and the food was excellent! Victoria Falls surpassed our expectations. We stayed at Old Drift Lodge, and our room was unbelievable … beautifully furnished and a great view of the Zambezi River. The safari drives and cruises were wonderful and our ranger, as well as being knowledgeable, had a great sense of humor. While sitting on our deck, a parade of elephants passed by and bathed in the river right in front of us. A group of monkeys came by, swinging on the trees, and a small croc lay sunning next to the river. All that, and a great visit to the falls, where we lunched at a beautiful restaurant overlooking the falls, then toured the falls, which were amazing (needless to say). Chloe arranged everything, including rides to and from the airport. This was definitely the best vacation we ever had… thank you Chloe and everyone else who made our trip unforgettable!

Had an amazing time!
We did the safari at nyerer national park and the river cruise we couldn't access some parts of the park due to the time of year but we still saw lots of amazing animals! And our guide made the trip an even more amazing experience for us! interacted with us, lots of conversation, useful information and lots of laughs! Such a lovely, polite young man! Was sad to say goodbye when we had to leave. Will hopefully be back again one day! Hopefully with tiko too!

Best Vacation Ever
This is going to be an unforgettable experience. The accommodation was excellent, with very attentive, polite, and kind people. Our driver, Jovin was very responsible. He kept us safe the whole time and was very attentive. He was fun and very sociable. Everything we experienced and saw in Tanzania will be unforgettable. Thank you.

One of the best trips I've ever had!
This trip was amazing from the planning process to the execution. Robyn was super flexible and helped me plan the perfect trip. While I was there she helped me make some last minute changes to ensure I get the most out of my trip.
Zimbabwe itself was just magical and I will for sure be back. The lodges was safe, beautiful with good food and plenty of animal sightings. Pickups were on time and communicated clearly. I recommend this company 100% and am already looking forward to planning the next one with them.

Exceeded All Expectations: The Perfect 4th Safari in Uganda with Candrem!
Absolutely phenomenal! This was my fourth safari in Africa, and it was, without a doubt, the most well-organized, enriching, and spectacular one yet. A huge part of that success is thanks to this incredible tour operator and especially their owner/manager, [Name, or "the owner" if name unknown].
From the very first inquiry, the owner's professionalism and dedication were evident. He was exceptionally responsive, patient, and incredibly detailed. He didn't just sell a package; he co-created an itinerary. We went back and forth multiple times adjusting the schedule, and he always had thoughtful recommendations based on real-time park conditions and animal movements. His knowledge is vast, and he genuinely wants to craft the perfect trip for you.
A standout feature that sets them apart is the comprehensive PDF guide they provide before the trip. This isn't just a simple itinerary; it's a robust, detailed document covering everything: a day-by-day breakdown, packing lists, cultural etiquette, bird and mammal checklists for Uganda, background info on the parks, and even practical tips for photography. It was an invaluable resource that prepared us thoroughly and heightened our excitement.
The safari itself exceeded all expectations. Thanks to the expertly planned route and our fantastic guide/driver, we saw an astounding array of wildlife—even more than on my previous three African trips! The guide's spotting skills were eagle-eyed, and his knowledge about every animal, bird, and ecosystem was impressive.
The vehicle was a major plus—a high-spec Toyota Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof. It was comfortable, rugged, and perfectly suited for Uganda's diverse terrain. Whether on dusty tracks or muddy trails after a rain, the performance was flawless, and we always felt secure and (relatively) clean inside our mobile viewing platform.
Speaking of our driver/guide, he was the heart of the experience. He was enthusiastic, endlessly knowledgeable, and went above and beyond at every turn. His commitment was most evident on our final travel day, which involved a marathon drive of nearly 18 hours to get us back on schedule. His focus, skill, and good cheer throughout that long journey were nothing short of heroic. It demonstrated a level of dedication and client care that is truly rare.
In summary, if you are looking for a Uganda safari operator that combines meticulous planning, expert guidance, top-notch equipment, and a genuinely passionate team that treats your trip as their priority, look no further. This team delivers an exceptional, five-star experience from the first email to the final drop-off. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you for an unforgettable Ugandan adventure
