African Safari Specialists

Alison is by far the best travel rep I have worked with and I travel a lot. Alison first booked our trip for three couples to South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe for November 2020. Due to COVID she had to rebook us twice in 2021 and 2022. We then had a conflict with our trip dates and she rebooked us for a fourth time. Each time she rebooked she was able to secure us dates in the same lodges (which were very small) in the same order (which was important to us). Each time she was professional, friendly, very patient and overly willing to help us get our trip rebooked. In addition, we peppered her with many questions over the many months before our trip which she gladly answered very quickly. If she didn't know the answer she researched it and got us the answer. The trip she planned for us was truly the trip of a lifetime. Every detail was taken care of and the places she booked for us were amazing. Not only the accommodations but the people. She took care of checking us in for our flights and checking in with us throughout our trip to make sure everything was going well. I cannot recommend Alison and Africa Tailormade more highly. If you are going to Africa you must contact Alison!

Alison arranged our trip to South Africa and Rwanda which included a couple of days in Kigali and gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park. We reached out to Alison during the course of our trip and she responded back quickly each and every time. From the local guide Emmy and his travel company in Rwanda, to the accommodations she suggested, everything exceeded our expectations. We had a couple of changes to our itinerary during our trip and Alison handled each one with exceptional speed and professionalism. I cannot recommend her or her travel agency highly enough. When visiting Africa, she is the only one to go use!!

Alison from Africa Tailormade came highly recommended to us and she reached and exceeded every expectation. I cannot recommend her and this organization strongly enough. Simply the best service I have had in years of traveling. From helping us plan our Rwanda Gorilla Tracking holiday, to every step of the way thereafter, they made sure the smallest of details was taken care of. It can be a little scary traveling for the first time into Central Africa. But thanks to Alison, we had an exceptional experience. She sorted out boarding passes, attempted to get us best seats, we were met the moment we stepped off the plane and guided through every step of the passport and COVID requirements, our guide Rogers who was with us for the entire trip, was just excellent!!l Both hotels were fantastic and the Gorilla Tracking experience was out of this world!! Thank you so much for helping to make my wife’s 40th Birthday and this bucket list experience, everything we could possibly have hoped for.

When I contacted Africa Tailormade for the first time, I was blown away by Sydney‘s immediate response and detailed recommendations of camps in the Okavango Delta. Her response time to queries as well as her intimate knowledge of the area were remarkable. Africa Tailormade ensured that we were taken care of all around before, during and after our trip and didn’t have to worry about anything. I will definitely use Africa Tailormade again and will recommend Sydney and Alison to friends and family. Thank you!

Outstanding service! Africa Tailormade take a very professional approach and ensure every last detail is addressed and managed all the way through until you return home. Was an absolute pleasure dealing with the team and Anzelle ensured updates and arrangements were regularly addressed and extremely well managed and communicated. Would highly recommend their services in regards to Safari/Game Lodge packages.

I just finished a South African safari trip organized by Alison and the team at Africa Tailormade. The safari was incredible and the entire experience was seamless and easy thanks to Tailormade. They delivered on all our wishes, including the type of lodges and specific areas we wanted to visit, and kept in constant communication. Our transportation was coordinated perfectly and the lodges/hotels were kept in the loop. It's always daunting to visit another country and deal with multiple hotels, airports, and transportation services but Tailormade had everything planned out perfectly. You guys are truly awesome, thank you for the trip of a lifetime!

They are the best by far Safari Travel Agency in Southern/Central Africa. All people we know from USA and Europe who have booked their trips through Africa Tailormade have said to us “That was the best trip we’ve done in our lives.”

Thanks to the Tailormade team for a great and friendly service, and a hugely-welcomed upgrade. We had a fabulous trip

Thank you again to you and your team for all your help. We are incredibly grateful for all the extra efforts. The hotel, transportation and tour guide arrangements were spot on and contributed to a lovely worry-free trip.

Thank you to the super efficient and dedicated team at Africa Tailormade. My milestone birthday was incredible and no better place than Shumbulala to celebrate it. You made it all so easy and I appreciate your fabulous service and enthusiasm. We will return !

Thanks for arranging such a great itinerary for us, we had a fantastic time in Nambia. We will be recommending you to all our friends for trips to Africa and will be recommending Namibia especially as it was such a great country, so much to do and see with incredible scenery, lovely people, great food and for us English, not expensive.​​

The team organised our dream African honeymoon which was absolutely superb. Everyone in Africa treated us like royalty – many many thanks to your team. We can’t wait to return soon.

Great job! You have really proven to us that we found and used the right Tour Operator for our "tailormade" trip to Africa. We are excited with the variety of accommodations and different areas we are going to visit.

The team went above and beyond to organise our once in a lifetime trip to South Africa. They completely understood our time constraints and budget to package a combination of safari, the Garden Route and the Cape. We couldn’t have wished for a more fantastic experience.

We are just back fro the most amazing trip. Thank you so much for organising, it was perfect. We saw amazing game in Etosha and managed to catch up with the Desert Elephants at Doro Nawas. They also put a great show and cake at Kulala for our daughter's birthday. We will certainly be in touch for a second round some time in the future.
