Tailormade has an incredibly deep understanding of travel in Africa.
Tailormade has put together 3 trips to Africa for myself and my husband. Areas covered have been Rwanda, Tanzania, Botswana, Zambia, and Ethiopia. For each trip we have worked with Clyde Beaty, the founder or Tailormade, and he has provided us just the kind of trip we wanted. Having been a safari guide in Africa himself, he has a very deep knowledge of the country and the travel resources that are available. In every case we have had the type of accommodation we wanted, whether it was mobil camping or a luxury lodge. The in country guides he has provided have been absolutely the best. In addition to that, Clyde is always available in case there is anything unexpected that comes up during the trip. I mean it...really, he is just a phone call away to straighten out whatever you need help with. I can't say enough about the service and the product.
We returned from our most recent trip in November of 2021....In other words, we booked this trip and completed this trip during the Covid Crisis and it was one of the best decisions we have made travel wise. Our trip to Madagascar was postponed twice because the country is not open for international travel, so Clyde suggested we go to Zambia and Botswana who were open and safe to travel. In fact, I felt safer than at home. Absolutely all the staff and all the guests at the lodges were fully vaccinated. The guides were all fully vaccinated. Aside from the time spent in our individual rooms, all the meals and all the safaris are outside. We couldn't have been safer and the additional upside is, aside from the wildlife, Africa is currently uncrowded. We will never see Africa like this again. It was a unique opportunity. I know people are hesitant to travel because of the Covid testing that needs to occur between countries and when one returns home. Clyde arranged all of that. Everybody arrived on time to administer our test in a way that did not interfere with our travels and the results were all delivered even earlier than promised. Really, I mean these folks even met us out on a game run one time to administer the test! Clyde monitored all of this from afar and made sure that everything went smoothly.
If you are ever thinking of going to Africa, Clyde is the person to book your trip and now is the time to go.

Superb
We used Alex/EA for our honeymoon. Originally booked for November 2020, we finally managed to go at rather short notice in November 2021. Even without COVID, our trip was beset with (enitrely blameless) rotten luck, including a last minute safari lodge change, the Blue Train literally derailing and a red list change meaning we had to get home urgently. Throughout all of this Alex was sensational, ensuring that we had the best possible time. Judging by the way we were treated, we are convinced Alex's hidden hand was there to make sure we were especially looked after.
Alex was a certain 5* across communication, service, value for money and reliability. The trip itself was magnificient and one we will remember for the rest of our lives.
We have had no hesitation in recommending Alex to friends and using her again. Indeed, our trip was so fantastic we fully intend on going back, and will be using her again for sure!

Thank you Safari Update Travels
Amazing experience from the first message of enquiry to the last minute before dropping us back to our residence. Linsel provided detailed information and assistance every step of the way, from months in advance to when we arrived in Kenya.
Martin, our driver, was very informative. He answered every question. He was very patient and delivered on every request.
We couldn't have chosen a better tour company other than Safari Update Travels.
Thank you!

We love Kenya!
This is our third trip to Kenya with Safari Update Travels. We love visiting Kenya and the staff at Safari Update Travels make things very easy. I had many questions about traveling during COVID, but Silas made it easy and explained everything.
We did a 12 day safari with Simon as our guide. Simon is excellent and his knowledge of Kenya, the parks and wildlife is amazing. Plus, he is a wonderful human.
This trip again exceeded our expectations from the service, to the camps, to the game drives.
If you are thinking of traveling to Kenya use Safari Update Travels. You will not be disappointed!
Lastly, if you are afraid or hesitant of traveling during the Covid-19 period, don't be!
Kenya is safe and they take every precaution to keep citizens and tourists safe!

Luitours is Awesome!
My safari experience with Luitours and Safaris is hard to put into words. My safari was a 5 days trip that included Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti National Park as well as a great experience with Masai Village Visit.
Our driver/guide was consummate pro, and on top of it, a blast to spend time with. I couldn't believe all the animals we saw. Elephants were standing right next to our jeep and I couldn't even count all the giraffes, hippos, lions, warthogs and so many kind of birds (I love secretary bird most)
Luitours gave us an amazing experience with reasonable price and I would definitely recommend the company for all the people seeking to visit Tanzania for Safaris! Do not hesitate to book with Luitours and Safaris!

Highly recommended
I had a trip with Safari Update Travels.
Silas and Linsel arrived at my hotel on time and introduced me to James the driver. The whole 3 days were great, I really enjoyed it. The national park is big and busy with lots of animals. I recommend this company as they have a professional guide.
