Superb all round
I initially got in touch with Rob Morley at Tailormade Africa to arrange joining his Africa Marathons group to run the Comrades Marathon in South Africa, and mentioned that my wife and I were planning on a few days' R&R on the beach in Zanzibar afterwards, followed by a safari in Tanzania. He asked about our itinerary, and when I told him what we were considering he came up with a far better one, which we decided to go with. The itinerary, the accommodations (both in Zanzibar and Tanzania), the food, the safari guides, the transport (regular airline flights, light plane flights, 4WD drives) were all superb. Not only that, but Rob's communications were great, both before and during the trip, and he kept us informed about every last detail (including arranging the seemingly impossible task of getting a COVID PCR test in northern Tanzania for our onward flight to Qatar). He was personally available by WhatsApp at any moment. The game drives were fabulous - we got to see four mass crossings of wildebeest across the Mara River, plus closeup views of leopards, lions, cheetahs and large numbers of many other animals. Apart from one day when we shared a jeep with another (very nice) couple, our guides were always just for the two of us. No doubt you can get this kind of experience from a very expensive, top-end tour company, but in this case the cost was very reasonable indeed, and only modestly more than a budget tour - well worth the difference. I am happy to recommend Tailormade Africa without any reservations at all, and am beginning to think of where else in Africa I might have Rob take us!

Excellent company from start to finish
This company was just outstanding from beginning to end. Joseph was quick to respond and accommodating to our requests. He gave excellent ideas why we have taken.
The accommodations this company arranged was absolutely outstanding.
Our guide/ driver Moses was exceptional in every way. He is knowledgeable of the parks we visited, very flexible on what we do and has a great understanding of the wildlife and their behaviour. Moses really made our trip and gave us so many great memories.
Thank you for an unforgettable experience, keep on the good work!

Dream!
I always wanted to do a safari and of course had high expectations. Soul of Tanzania has exceed them all.
We did the "Highlights of Kenya and Tanzania" and had an amazing experience.
Firstly, it was so well organized, everything went according to the plan, we always had someone with us, and that made us fell safe, secure and relaxed :)
Both guides were amazing, always telling us things about the countries, the animals, the parcs. A special note to Jovin, who clearly shows that he loves what is doing and wants people to leave as in love as he is!
I had a lot of questions during the process and Sandy, our planner, was absolutely great.
Thank you to the team for the amazing days we had!

The tour was good and splendid would like it too next year. I had to even go ahead climbing Mt Kilimanjaro and it was just something else, I cld never imagine myself climbing but there I was with full energy.
I thought I couldn't but I tried to my best..
Serengeti was there too. And I enjoyed watching the animals from a distance.

Amazing!
We found the whole communication and booking at lion king safari brilliant. Pendo was excellent up until the safari and even afterwards when it flight was changed, she quickly helped us organise our travel arrangements.
Derick was our safari guide and he was amazing, he really is the lion king as we saw so many lions each day. We also saw three leopards which apparently is quite rare. If you get Derick as your guide you are in for a real treat as he is brilliant and we couldn't be happier with the experience he provided for us.

Once in a lifetime experience
Indescribable experience for everything it offers. Quality of service together with what nature offers is the best you could want. Our guide Hamed was excellent, knowledgeable, polite, punctual and put all of his knowledge at our disposal. Highly recommended.

Great with kids! Fun and flexible and safe!
Newton, Ken and Justus were great hosts and drivers! They were good natured, easy going and flexible with our large family group. I felt safe in their hands on long drives and rocky mountain roads to visit the gorillas. They made the drives fun for the kids ages 8-14. Newton helped us navigate customs and luggage driving from Uganda into Rwanda and into Tanzania. *Inquire about Wifi and power sources in the vehicles. I hope to go back!

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Laurie Levy
You really know you're in Africa here. The scenery is spectacular; the wildlife is as well. It is also interesting to view Masai villages and get a sense of their way of life. The wildlife was different every day and the variety was endless. Lots of elephants, LOTS of wildebeests, topi, eland, giraffes, buffalo, cheetahs, lions, leopards, zebra, ostriches, secretary birds, lilac-breasted rollers, marabou and yellow-billed storks, hippos, huge crocodiles, warthogs, hyenas, lesser kudu, gazelles, southern ground hornbills, and on and on. Definitely a park not to be missed!
