Amazing safari experience
We had really outstanding safari trip. Everything was perfectly organised and better than we expected. We had very nice guide Johannes, who was very friendly and let us felt so well groomed.
All the accommodations were very top level and we saw and we experienced more fantastic places and things we ever expected.
Cant wait our next trip to Africa :)
Highly recommended.

Amazing!
Well, where should I begin? We booked with Ines from Indigo Safaris. She did a great job and as some things didn’t work out at first step, she solved it out of her own holiday very quickly so we could enjoy every minute of our stay.
We had an incredible 8 night camping Safari, starting with 2 nights in Kasane, one night camping at chobe river front, followed by 2 nights camping in savuti and 2 nights camping in khwai before heading to Maun for one last night at the backpacker. The camp sites were wonderful, especially the one in khwai right next to the river, where a tall elephant came to the camp to great us. We have seen so many animals ( jackals, hyenas, leopard, wild cat, honey badger, hippos, Buffalo, giraffe….) in savuti we found even a pride of 15 Lions and followed them to the waterhole watching them drinking water and relaxing for a long time. The whole trip was great, the tents and bedding comfortable, the car spacious. But best of all was the crew. Joseph, our guide was unbelievable in reading body language of the animals and found so many interesting animals for us. He always gave lots of information about what we just saw - as well as about animals as vegetation. At the camp fire he was telling interesting stories about everything. We enjoyed every minute with him. Team-members were also Prince and System, travelling with a second car with the tents and kitchen stuff - always a bit ahead so everything was prepared when we arrived after the Safari at the camp. Prince the Chef - what he did over camp fire I can‘t do at home in this quality. Pizza, bread, spaghetti, meat, salad - everything was delicious! They got up really early in the morning to prepare breakfast and even the salads for lunch when we had whole day trips. Don’t know when they found time to sleep. System took care of everything at the camp and the atmosphere between all of them was so good, we felt really comfortable.
Spending the nights in a tent in the wilderness, hearing all the different sound was so exiting! For us, it was the best experience ever. The only bad thing, we only booked those 8 nights - it should have been much longer! So if you get the chance to go to Botswana doing a Safari, choose a camping one and try to get such a great team as we had. Thanx Joseph, Prince and System for this wonderful journey!

Life changing experience, highly recommended
Life changing experience, highly recommended. The company is owned by a local Tanzanian ex-guide (support local businesses and people!). Lodging throughout the safari was so cool - from big comfortable tent-houses in the wild to luxurious local hotels. Food was awesome and delicious. We saw all the animals (except rhino from the close up) and had fun waking up at a crack of dawn to catch animals when they’re most active. Kilimanjaro base camp hike was pretty cool and unique. Our guide was the best and made the safari experience that much more enjoyable. Truly lucky to have had him (Goodluck is his name). Very knowledgeable, pleasant, funny and a good person. Booking experience was excellent, Lion King people are very accommodating.
Tanzanians are friendly, hardworking, polite and fair people - enjoyed every single person I met and will definitely be back for other safaris and experiences!
Great value for money. Reliable group of people.

Friendly, reliable and representing Uganda
Very reliable tour operator. We felt safe all the time with our guide, who has explained us a lot of background information. Uganda was a great experience for us! Visiting the Gorillas at Bwindi was a highlight, relaxing at Mutanda lake and enjoying Mburo Nationalpark simply a must-do! Thanks for many impressive moments and all the friendly people around us!

Clyde the 'Travel Fairy' planned and executed the honeymoon of a lifetime!
There aren't enough stars to accurately rate our experience working with Clyde and Tailormade. We came to Clyde from a friend's recommendation a month before our wedding wanting to leave for our honeymoon immediately after, in the middle of a home remodel and working full-time. We knew we wanted to go on a Safari, but had never been before, and didn't have the time to research where to go. Clyde not only planned the most magical trip to the most amazing places we could have imagined, he also made sure the entire trip was seamless. So much so we began fondly referring to him as the 'Travel Fairy' with all the small surprises along the way. Friendly greeters met us when we needed transport to and from different locations, all the COVID tests we needed to get in an out of Botswana, Zimbabwe, and South Africa were all pre-arranged - we didn't have to figure anything out ourselves. Not our normal way of traveling, but it was so nice not to be stressed on our honeymoon.
We had an issue with one of the airlines cancelling our flight while we were en route and Clyde sent someone to meet us in Johannesburg to escort us through the airport, through customs, and the airline's customer service to book us on another flight the same day. When I say the trip was seamless - it was truly seamless even in the middle of a pandemic. The Wilderness camps he sent us to were spectacular - the people and staff were wonderful and we saw the most incredible things. Leopards, lions, wild dogs, elephants, hippos, giraffe, buffalo, all kinds of antelope, and so many more incredible animals. If you are on the fence about traveling to Africa during COVID, book with Clyde and he will take care of everything for you. We will recommend Clyde and Tailormade to all of our friends and family.

Amazing tour for Ethiopia
Armaye was patient, professional and responsive in the whole process. He answered a lot of detailed questions from me and made effort to tailor it to our needs. When Covid hit, we had to end our trip early and he was also very kind to refund part of the cost. Our driver was also super nice, always very patient and constantly thinking about our needs during the whole tour. They both speak great English and very easy to communicate to.

Knew Everythinf!!
What a trip! We worked with Goodluck as our guide. Pendo assisted in our booking. She is incredibly organized, even when I wasn’t! The tour was amazing, Goodluck answered all our outrageous questions - how long are elephants pregnant for? Why do lions roar? What animals eat what animals? You name it! He knew all the answers. We are so glad we decided to go on this trip. And, it’s the perfect way to travel during covid!!! It’s just your group and the guide - totally safe. Ugh! I can’t say enough, such an eye opening experience - one of the best trips I’ve ever been on (avid traveler, 47 countries) this is one for the books! Thank you, thank you, thank you Lion King Adventures!

very attentive
The safari was extra-ordinary, thanks to our guide Lody who did everything possible for us.
SafariBigCat is really the company to contact for a safari in Tanzania.
I recommend it with my eyes closed.

Book with Gosheni! You won’t regret it!
We absolutely recommend Gosheni Safaris! Pendo John was wonderful, communicated quickly and helped us plan for over 2 years (Covid). She made sure the logistics of our safari were taken care of every step of the way. Our guide, Fidelis was top notch! He has been guiding safaris for 14+ years, is so knowledgeable about the area and the animals, and took us to see so much more than we ever could have expected - up close, too! Don’t hesitate to book your safari with Gosheni, and ask for Fidelis!
