Professional and serious with a focus on sustainability.
This a company that will take care of their customers for the whole process from the first email until after the safari. I am very happy and satisfied with both the safari, the safari guide (Samwel) and their office/administration.
Every request we had before and during the safari was quickly taken care of.
They made sure that we saw everything we wanted during the safari and also a lot of animals and birds that we didn’t expect to see at all.
Also the accommodations and the meals were up to standard. We can highly recommend Endito Nagol for the best safari experience in Tanzania :)

Expert, precision knowledge - putting us in exactly the right place +date for a mega river crossing!
Clyde from Tailormade Africa spent time with us during the booking phase - answering questions and providing expert advice and insight into how to get the best out of our "wish list" safari to see migratory herds and a Mara river crossing with all the dust and drama we had hoped for. Clyde could not have been more spot on. He put us in a Alex Walker's Serian Mobile Lamai camp - carefully chosen to be on a much quieter side of the Mara - in THE exact right place and THE exact right dates to realise our dream. His passion and knowledge were exemplary compared to other safari booking agents we have used in the past and he made the logistics/details seamless meaning we did not have to worry about organising anything from the moment we landed in Tanzania to the moment we left.
On THE day after we arrived, we saw the first MEGA crossing of the Mara for this year's migration - with some of our fellow guests leaving that day having waited a week on their tours. It was incredible - the landscape just emptying of wildebeest as they flowed into the crossing point valley as thousand upon thousand wildebeest and zebra crossed.
Clyde also encouraged us to get out of our comfort zone and try a tented camp with bucket showers and rustic luxury - experience of a lifetime. We saw cheetah, leopard, lions hunting (and eating dinner!), huge herds of zebra/wildebeest/elephants, hippos galore gently bobbing up and down and a tower of 11 giraffe ++++ - incredible advice on the best camp / guiding to see wildlife.
Clyde also only recommends camps known for great guiding - we certainly had this at Alex Walker's Serian with our guides not only spotting animals but also taking time to explain local medicinal plants and teach us about next construction in a quiet moment in the shade. Clyde's advice really was spot on/faultless - his connections are probably also to thank for getting us a free upgrade to a family tent. He also stayed in touch along our trip - answering a question about check in for one of our flights almost instantly ... and explaining with his years of African experience that we should not worry but that our name would magically appear on the manifest - and it did!
I highly recommend TailorMade Africa - you are in safe and expert hands!

friendly and very helpful
We took the dayly tour of Chobe Park, with a safari and boat ride. It was one of the most incredible days of our trip, we saw many animals including lions. TT our guide was very kind and prepared us a very good breakfast and lunch. Vanesa (in the office) was also very kind and organized everything so that it was useful to us.

Safari of a lifetime
Every aspect of this tour was well planned out and organized. Nicolette was immediately responsive when we emailed that we had missed our connecting flight and coordinated our pickup for the following day. Our guide in Namibia, Buzzy Joell, was simply amazing! He was super friendly, extremely knowledgeable and did everything possible to ensure that we had an amazing tour. He was able to modify some activities to meet our interest and the mobility limits faced by some in our group. He might have even created “birders” out of some of us. We all simply loved having a private guide that accompanied us to the different lodges and who did our game drives. It really created a fun atmosphere and it was like traveling with family near the end. The transfers to our camp in Botswana and on to Victoria Falls were well organized and the drivers were extremely helpful. This is an experience that we will be talking about for years to come.

Amazing experience !!!
We had an amazing experience with Ayubu during one weekend. We started our safari in Mikumi (south) and drove to the Northern parks (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tanrangire, ...). It was great: our guide showed us many animals (15 cheetahs, countless lions, leopards, ...), taught us many things on the country, its history, the animals, the culture, ... Our cook was great as well: so nice and we ate so well. I definitly recommand you this team if you want to have the best experience ever !

Excellent Safari Operator
Best Safari experience ever!!
We booked a 5-day, 4 nights (2 nights in Masai Mara & 2 nights in Amboselly) Safari tour for through Apodiformes Adventure and had the best safari experience ever. Special thanks to Mr. Silas for making our arrangement in well advance and our tour guide/driver Mr. Micheal. We couldn’t have had a better guide than Micheal. He was very polite, patient and very knowledgeable about wildlife and the Kenyan/Masai culture. Thanks to his expertise we saw the big 5 within the first 4 days, plus two cheetahs and baby lions and baby elephants. All of them were very close as he knows how to drive the land cruiser in best way. We felt really safe and trusted. We will recommend Apodiformes Adventures 100% for all my friends in coming days. Thank you Mr. Silas.

Great day all round!
We had a fabulous safari in Akagera with Jean Claude. We felt like VIPs having a guide to ourselves, and he took care of us very well with regular comfort breaks and an excellent breakfast and lunch. Jean Claude kept in contact with other guides to help locate the animals which meant our safari was incredibly successful and we took some fantastic pictures and videos. He was also very friendly and knowledgable. We thoroughly recommend Golden Rwanda Safaris

Great experience in Kenya
My wife and I really enjoyed our trip to Kenya. It was an awesome trip because of our tour operator Wild Bud Safari. We connected with Leah and she was absolutely amazing. I don’t think we would have had such a great experience if it was not for Leah and the Wild Bud team. She was very accommodating for our needs and arranged absolutely great hotels, with amazing amenities and great location and views. It never felt like she was a tour operator but more like a friend to us that guided us through the beautiful country and safaris of Kenya. We did several activities while we were there. We did the full day safari which was well organized and we got to spot some exciting animals. Leah did an amazing job customizing the itinerary to our liking and arranging the safari as such. Betty did a fantastic job with hotel selections and providing us different options to select from to fit our budget. We had a very good time dealing with Wild Bud. The experience was so seamless. Everything was well arranged from the pickup to drop offs, the transportation and the flexibility in our itinerary. Leah and Betty also pulled through on our special request and were able to get us bookings for Giraffe Manor; it was a phenomenal experience highly recommended. It was such a special experience, it was private and serene and great to get up close with giraffes. It was a really great time, another unforgettable experience which was worth the stay there which was only able to be arranged by Wild Bud. No other operator we asked was able to manage it for us. All this was only possible due to our amazing organizer Lilian, Leah, Betty and the amazing team at Wild Bud. The Wild Bud team is exceptional. If it wasn’t for them, I don’t think we would have had such a great time in Kenya. We would definitely like to visit Kenya again and other African countries and Wild Bud Safari will be our choice of tour operator without doubt. Wild Buds Safari, highly trustworthy, great prices, great services, you get what you pay for, premium experience. We went to Kenya to explore which we did and we came back making friends. Thank you, Lilian, Leah, Betty, and Wild Bud Safari for the great time.
