Well cared for on an adventure.
We received a detailed itinerary that covered absolutely everything. We chose Tailor-Made Safaris because of the personalized guidance, and we weren't disappointed. It made us feel safe, and everything was perfectly organized. The trip was varied, encompassing mountains, the coast, and, of course, the safaris. We loved Tembe Elephant and the Wetland Park Drive with guide Johan at iSimangaliso's Eastern Shores. We wouldn't recommend the cultural tour to a Zulu village. The rainy weather made Kosi Bay less enjoyable, so we missed out on snorkeling and relaxing by the pool. Our stay at Makongo Hills was fantastic. We enjoyed the friendly people and beautiful South Africa.

Amazing
This week just ended and I’m feeling so thankful to Kyooma gorilla safaris. Mwije, the manager, has been the best one. She organize everything in the best possible way. Accomodation were special, the tour has been amazing. Andrew, my driver, has been the best one. She even took me to places that weren't included in the tour, like a local market and a home for needy women and girls. They were wonderful experiences.
I feel compelled to recommend Kyooma 100%. They can make your visit to Uganda the best ever.

Thank you Tanzania Explorer 🇹🇿
What a trip! Safari in Ngorongoro and the Serengeti, combined with city and beach life in Dar es Salaam! My family trip with Tanzania Explorer has been absolutely fantastic. I am so grateful for the wonderful people who contributed to making this an unforgettable journey every step of the way.
The itinerary was tailored to our wishes, and Sondre ensured a superb safari setup. Our guide was kind, funny, and knowledgeable. The lodges looked like something straight out of a travel magazine. I’ve never experienced such luxury in the bush! And the wildlife! We had the landscapes and a variety of amazing animals almost to ourselves. Truly magical!
We also had some eventful days in Dar es Salaam which I greatly appreciated. I’d especially like to highlight the welcoming staff at the villa; they helped us experience Dar es Salaam like locals, including trips to the market, local restaurants, and traditional cooking. We also got a get away to Mbudya Island where we could relax with drinks in the sun and feet in the sand.
I felt well taken care of by Tanzania Explorer throughout the entire journey. Everything exceeded my expectations—even though they were quite high to begin with! This was a safe and exciting adventure. I highly recommend Tanzania Explorer if you are considering a trip to Tanzania! 😍

Super
We had a beautiful trip. Completely taken care of and even more wonderful than I had dared to dream. Truly top locations throughout. Even while I was there, when I wanted to add or change a few things on the spot, everything was immediately arranged and fully tailored to my wishes. A journey I never thought I would make. I can recommend it to everyone.

Tailor Made Safaris put together the perfect trip for us. We wanted to experience everything.
Tailor Made Safaris put together the perfect trip for us. We wanted to experience everything—and we truly did. The journey exceeded all expectations. For three weeks, we went from one moment of amazement to the next. Driving ourselves worked perfectly, and the contact via the app was very pleasant and reassuring.
The entire trip—from start to finish—was clearly laid out in a well-organised travel book with all the necessary information. We can look back on a wonderful holiday in South Africa.
Geert, Angela, and the entire team: thank you very much.

Excellent Service
We went on safari trip with Antonio. We were picked up punctually from Nairobi and driven to Amboseli where we spent 2 magical days driving around and greeting Elephants, Cheetah and numerous ungulates around the marshes. Antonio showed us many the diverse landscapes of Amboseli and explained the various rituals and signs the savannah wild folk followed.
We then drove to Naivasha and walked the Crescent Island with Walter (from Walter's Green Belt Initiative). It felt magical to walk amongst the Zebras, Impalas and Giraffes. The silence was only broken by the sound of hoofs or the songs of the numerous Fish-eagle couples on the island. We also made the acquaintance of Joel, who is a doorman at the Naivasha lake resort. He is a real asset to the establishment. The chef at the resort spoke with us and made special food for us according to our dietary requirements. The facilities were great!
The next day we drove to the Mara Sarova resort in the Masai Mara. Almost all the staff working there were amazing and affable. They looked after us very well. We would specifically like to thank the chefs -Douglas and Daisy for cooking for us. Then there was the barman Daglous - always ready with a big smile and quick banter. We stayed in tent 60 which is at the far end of the lodge so we were carried around in electric buggies by Nelson and Sordo (both Masai men) - they were so full of stories about the mara.
The Mara itself is magical and Antonio knew it like the back of his hand. He ensured that we were always amongst the first on the scene. Sometimes we were the first on the scene for quite a while because he agreed to turn off the radio at our request so that we could observe the wild folk unobtrusively. We lost count of the number of lions we saw but we also saw 4 cubs which is probably rarest of the rare. We almost saw a hunt as well. I guess when you have a good guide in a grassland environment then the phone camera is enough but I will definitely recommend to get good binoculars while visiting going on Safari anywhere.
We were eventually driven back to Nairobi where Antonio alsa arranged an impromptu visit to the Nairobi national park because we couldn't find any Rhinos in the Masai Mara or at Amboseli. That time his younger cousin, Charles drove us who is also great but Antonio was a cut above the rest - just like Godson from Africa Safari in Tanzania. I guess we have been serendipitously lucky in terms of the guides who have shown us around - they are very compassionate to the jungle folk and the people alike.
Lastly, while researching itineraries and discussing options, Titus Gitonga was very helpful in slicing and dicing various options throughout.
We are very satisfied at how it all worked out and we are thankful to Antonio and his great team for that.

Super relaxing and exceptionally journey
It was an exciting, relaxing, and exceptionally appealing holiday, carefully planned together with Tailor Made Safaris. Our preferences and wishes were perfectly understood and transformed into a fantastic journey. It was nothing but highlights. The trip was structured from culture to nature, in an environment that became increasingly beautiful along the way. Especially for those focused on creating memories and taking photographs, this itinerary was exceptionally well designed. Everything was superbly organised and deserves high praise. I don’t often say “this comes highly recommended,” but for Tailor Made Safaris, that exception most certainly applies.
