Went above and beyond to help up have an excellent honeymoon experience
Our guide, Simon, was extremely friendly and a wonderful help. He made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy a spectacular honeymoon, and that we saw incredible animals. The organisational staff were excellent too and great at communicating with us.

Great company for safari.
This was our first time coming to South Africa and we wanted to do a short trip to Kruger National Park. I started looking for budget safaris and got several companies that o requested quotes from. The Kruger safari company was the first to respond and they did so quickly. I communicated with Wayne for several months working out a few kinks that I had made and he was very helpful in answering all my questions. The transfer to Hazeyview was uneventful and long but the ride was fine. The adventure lodge was nice for a budget safari. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff were great and we enjoyed them. The safari itself was really fun and we enjoyed the sunset safari and the all day safari. The third day we did the panoramic route and that was very beautiful. All in all I would recommend the Kruger safari company and I will be se them again if I ever come back to South Africa

Incredible Experience with an Exceptional Guide!
Our 7-day experience with Tanzania Juvenile Safaris was an amazing, once in a lifetime experience! Our guide Jackson was very responsive and helpful in planning our trip activities and was transparent with all pricing. He was so knowledgeable about the animals and the local culture that it was a truly immersive experience. We got to see the great migration, visit local villages, and saw all of the big 5! Jackson's safari experience and relationships with the local people meant that we got premier service throughout our trip as well. Though we have done a lot of traveling, my family and I can confidently say that Jackson was our favorite guide that we've ever had! He always had a jolly attitude and an incredible eye for spotting animals. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a special African safari experience!

The most gentle and flexible guides
We felt safe and comfortable from the very first moment that William, our safari guide, picked us up at our hotel. Also Isaya has been very kind in helping us before arriving in Tanzania! We booked a 3 days safari but although the shortness of trip, the tour operators made the unpossible to let us see all the animals in one game drive only! Specifically William was super friendly and helped us with everything unrelated with the tour.. we call him as a friend by now.. thank you for making our stay unforgettable!

A deal is not a deal!
Early this year, we started orientating for a trip to Kenya with our family. 2 tour operators jumped out and both offered a similar trip for a similar price. We chose Pamoja because they offered the beach hotel which was our preference. Whereupon we signed the offer and paid the trip deposit.
6 weeks before departure, we got word from Pamoja that 2 hotels (including the beach hotel) had become more expensive. Whether we wanted to pay an extra USD 11,400. This made our trip no less than 50% more expensive than agreed with us in the quotation and confirmation. We were very shocked by this and it caused the necessary unrest and emotions within our family. Because of this, it was not clear whether we could still go on the trip at all because of these extra costs. After a week of almost daily contact with Pamoja, they could not do more for us than deduct USD 3200. Still a difference of USD 8200. Still too much for us. By now it was 5 weeks before departure and booking through another tour operator was not very easy anymore. In the end, we opted for cheaper hotels for which we had to pay USD 2000,- extra. Unfortunately, we later had two more discussions about finances, which completely destroyed our trust in Pamoja and the fun before departure.
Fortunately, we can look back on a great trip through Kenya. The whole trip including transport, hotels and other logistics were well arranged by Pamoja. Our guides David and Alan were very professional and nice to travel with. They showed us many beautiful things and knew a lot to tell. For this, we are very grateful to them.

Thanks for an incredible experience
I took a 4days/3nights package covering Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. It was way more than what I had expected; tour organization, food, staff, and the safari experience itself to name a few. Our tour operators, Nasr and Hassan, guide Qasim, and everyone else from the staff were very professional, supportive, and helpful. They made sure that we have a positive life time safari experience.
Thanks everyone; you were awesome.

Well organized Safari operator
We had a very good safari with some changes in the queue of activities. We saw a lot of animals. Everything was offered as booked and the meals prepared by the cook were amazing.
One bad thing was the behaviour of one guide regarding to the tipping. We gave a lot but before he has even looked at the money the guide forced us to give even more. That was outrages, unnecessary and really annoying at the end of the trip. Nevertheless the operator, the camps and organization were perfect. we had a briefing the day before the trip and another conversation at the end which was very positive, professional and customer friendly

Exceptional organisation, wonderful trip to Tanzania
My husband and I booked a trip to Tanzania through Clyde at Tailormade Africa, booking it only 2 months before we travelled. I enquired with several tour operators and received a few quotes before deciding on Tailormade Africa - it was little more expensive but we could tell that the quality of the service and trip was much better - and we were not disappointed! Clyde was very responsive, putting together an itinerary in a day or so, answering all our questions, and recommending locations/accommodation in Tanzania to visit. This was especially useful given that it was our first safari. The camp that Clyde recommended was amazing, and one we wouldn't have found had we booked the trip on our own. All transfers and internal flights worked out perfectly, and we didn't have to worry about any of the organisation as this was all taken care of for us.
Some travellers are still concerned about coronavirus when travelling. The camp we stayed at followed all sensible precautions, and we were in contact with few other people given the location of our camp, so felt very safe and stayed very well throughout our trip. In summary, an excellent trip and we look forward to booking our next safari through Tailormade Africa!

The best guide and tour operator you can meet in Zimbabwe
Our time with Liberty was amazing, excellently organized and unforgettable!
• We had a great contact before, during and even after our trip, so we always felt taken care of and could write to Liberty with any question or problem we had. He was constantly checking in on us to make sure we enjoy our stay and have everything we need
• We spent almost 2 weeks in Zimbabwe, doing 4-day Hwange safari, 3-day Matopos tour and multiple one-day and smaller trips from Vic Falls (including Chobe in Botswana, canoeing on Zambezi, cruise and many more). Moreover, we spoke also about other activities and we can surely say that Liberty can help with organising any trip in Zimbabwe and beyond.
• Liberty went to great lengths to tailor our trip to fit our needs and budget, which we really appreciate. He was a true professional, open to our suggestions and offering helpful tips to improve our trip. He knows great places to stay at and has contacts with one of the best guides for safari excursions, so each day was an amazing experience.
• We were always informed about timings, prices and any details of upcoming trips. Everything was included in the prices we agreed beforehand and we can safely say they were more than competitive in comparison to other operators (excellent value for money)
• We felt safe driving with Liberty and he always showed up on time, with clean car and some refreshments/snacks for the trip
• Professional aspect aside, Liberty is a lovely guy, we had a great time together and a lot of laughs. During our travelling he provided us with a lot of knowledge about the country, culture, current situation etc.
And to finish up – Zimbabwe is an incredible travel destination. Beautiful landscapes, world-class safaris in area teeming with wildlife, very safe and still authentic, not commercialized. Go to Zimbabwe and contact Liberty from Cocoon Safaris and Tours, you won’t be disappointed :)
