The tour operator was well organized and clear about the schedule.
We did the two day tour. We went to Tarangire and the Ngorogoro Crater. Both national parks were spectacular, especially the second day at the Crater was absolute wonderful. The nature is really special and there were a lot of animals. We almost saw them all. We stayed at a camping overnight. The tent was luxurious and the food was really good and well organized. At the end of the trip we asked if the driver could drop us off at a restaurant and this was not a problem for him. Thank you for the wonderful trip, we had a great time!

African Safari Adventure: Exploring Kenya and Tanzania
We embarked on a trip to Kenya and Tanzania from February 16th to February 24th. In December, we reached out to Dennis to help plan our journey. Their professionalism in arranging our itinerary and accommodating our date changes was commendable. We were thoroughly impressed with the attention to detail in every aspect of our trip.
For the initial four days in Kenya, we were accompanied by our guide, James. Not only was he an exceptional guide, but also a talented photographer. His precise knowledge of ideal photography spots along our route was remarkable. For any aspiring photographers, I highly recommend James's services. Our journey took us from Nairobi to Lake Nakuru, where the first game drive left us somewhat disappointed due to minimal animal sightings. However, subsequent drives in Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara more than made up for it. Despite the season nearing its end and the animals migrating southward, we were thrilled to encounter herds of elephants, pride of lions, cheetahs, solitary buffaloes, and a plethora of zebras and wildebeests. We didn't enjoy the ride in the Hippo River much. We hardly spotted any hippos in the river. However, we did see numerous groups of hippos in the streams we crossed and the lakes we visited.
Our time in Masai Mara coincided with the onset of rain, adding a scenic charm to the landscapes. Nevertheless, the rainfall made our journey from Masai Mara to the Tanzania border quite adventurous. We are immensely grateful to James for safely navigating us through the challenging conditions and extend our heartfelt thanks to the rangers and cattle herders who provided invaluable guidance along the way.
From the Sirari Tanzania border, our guide Jackson was incredibly enthusiastic. As the animals had migrated to the south Serengeti, we were treated to the sight of thousands and thousands of zebras, wildebeests, and wild buffaloes, along with encounters with the big four (though unfortunately, we missed out on spotting a leopard). Despite losing our way in Serengeti National Park, we embraced it as part of the adventure. The Ngorongoro Crater was an unforgettable experience. Surprisingly, we saw more flamingos in the crater than at Lake Nakuru.
Throughout our journey, we stayed at seven different hotels over eight nights. Sarova at Lake Nakuru stood out as one of the best. The cook, Mr. Richardson, prepared for us a delicious masala dosa, which was a highlight of our Indian breakfast experience. Staying at various camps also provided unique adventures, from spotting hyenas close to our tents to waking up to the sight of giraffes nearby.
Overall, the experience was great. A big thanks to Dennis, James, and Jackson from Morning Star. Hope to see you again!

Great safari provider and guide!
We had a great experience with Jeff, our safari driver, who was very patient, an excellent driver and very friendly. The safari experience in Amboseli was amazing and the Kibo Lodge where we stayed was above our expectation!
The team at Jocky tours were very friendly with us too when we booked the tour at their office in Nairobi.

Best safari experience - our dreams came true
Our experience with Shammah Wonders Safari was much better than expected. We had a 5 day tour with the best guide, Moses, who made us feel safe at all times. Everything was planned from the beginning to the end of our tour, and we couldn’t have asked for more. We had some amazing wildlife experiences and Moses knew everything about the animals, the nature and the African culture, and he told us a lot of stories during our trip. We were upgraded to a luxury lodge during our stay without any additional fees, and Justin who is head of the company, really did an effort to make our trip the best - he even helped us getting all the way to Zanzibar after the safari with both arranging ferry and transfer. Thanks again for the best safari tour. We will highly recommend Shammah Wonders Safari!

Very good and professional company.
Thank you to everyone who participated in our safari. We have been on 4 days safaris and everything was perfect and very professional from the first contact from Midian to the very nice guy Fil on the safari who spoke very highly of all the animals and nature. Communication with everyone was perfect. Accommodation in the Lodge and one day in the tent was excellent. For us was the tent in the Serengeti bush the best accommodation - you have to experience it. I recommend this company to everyone

When Tailormade Africa is planning your expedition, rest assured you’re in safe & expert hands
I heard of Tailormade Africa through a colleague who had used their services to not only plan their hike to Kilimanjaro but also to plan and manage the rest of their stay in Tanzania.
Well before and throughout our entire 15 day stay in Tanzania, Rob and his team were super communicative and offered us great advice on our itinerary as well as how we should prep for the hike. I made a video documenting how incredible and memorable our hike to the Kili summit was. https://youtu.be/isVK0Gy1lyc?si=ku4o8U-7AzczzYr2
What I absolutely loved was how seamless the connections were from each location. There was always transportation waiting for us to drive us to our next location. From our airport arrival, to the base gates of Kilimanjaro, to the safari resort, to our tropical resort Zanzibar, and lastly to departure from the Zanzibar’s Airport, the journey was always easy and seamless. There was no thinking or figuring any logistics required from our part - all we had to do was enjoy the sites.
I would use TM’s services again and recommend anyone who wants an stress-free vacation to do so as well.

Knowledgeable, kind, proffesional, and punctual
Tongesai was the best tour guide we could’ve had. He was kind, punctual, and very knowledgeable about the history of Victoria falls. We initially planned on having Tongesai for only one day during our trip, but we ended up using his services for the duration of our trip because of how great his services were .

Perfect experience
From the first contact to request a quote to the end of the tour, everything worked perfectly. All quotes were answered very quickly and the itinerary was tailored to our needs.
I didn't have to worry about a thing, I was contacted in advance by all the drivers for pick up, hotels and tents were extremely well located and comfortable. From the beginning to the end of the tour we were assisted at all times and felt very safe, comfortable and well looked after. I highly recommend their services and am very pleased.
