What is a tailor made holiday anyway?

A tailor-made holiday is all about creating your safari, your way. So, while we know our hand-picked itineraries are awesome, we also know that not all travellers are the same.

That’s why we offer the tailor-made approach where we take the time to speak to you about what you’re looking for, take into account your needs and budget, and custom-build a holiday to match you and your needs.

Why not couple that with our expertise and knowledge of Africa to put together a winning formula. At the end of the day, what we are offering is a safari, uniquely designed for you, in conjunction with you and armed with our knowledge.

You can do this by stealing a few ideas from our set private African safari itineraries or having a look at our destinations and seeing which one works for you. Research is key, but do not overthink the process, that is what we are here for.

Whether you want to cram loads of activities into a week or spread them out over three, we’ll build an itinerary that works for you

Advantages of a tailor-made holiday

Tailor making a trip gives you the choice and flexibility to stay in the destinations you want, for the money you have available.

With a tailor-made holiday, you will receive the very best advice and we will will remove the arduous and stressful process of putting together your next holiday. Not to mention you’ll have a holiday that no one else has, how’s that for a boast-worthy experience?

You also have the advantage of being able to leverage specialist knowledge, extensive contacts and the best local partners.

There are no hidden costs to cope with either. Travel can often be unpredictable and if things don’t go to plan the cost can mount up very quickly. We are a reputable and experienced operator, thus your money is secure prior to departure. You also have the safety of having a local guide with you who knows exactly where to go.

Important things to consider

Getting the best value for money from your tailor-made holiday starts with what you would like to do and when. A budget is very useful, as although tailor-made represents excellent value for money, the budget also has to be able to cover all of the requirements.

Here is a quick guide to get you going:

The extra cost is easily outweighed by the benefits – You get the priceless expert advice of a travel professional, private drivers and guides, tried and tested accommodation and hidden ‘insider’ experiences. You also get your entire trip organized for you, with all the essentials included in the price. Plus, you can avoid some of travel’s worst bits like getting lost, missing a transport connection or falling into a tourist trap
Tailor-made holidays are good for families – Those with younger kids can make a family African vacation to suit travellers with short attention spans, with lots of breaks and time to regroup. Private activities with your family are great ways to bond and really get the most out of your vacation. Plus, we love kids!
Where do you want to go – You may have some specific ideas or at this stage, a more general idea but this is the starting point. We have a wealth of experience and knowledge about destinations and we are happy to share our ideas and love for these destinations with you. Visit our safari pages and check out places you might be keen to visit, like South Africa for instance.
When do you want to go – Many places are seasonal and so costs can vary as can what you can expect to see and do. Worth considering also is the cost of flights as these can also vary seasonally. All our safaris and destinations have a full breakdown of when to go. Check out the best time to visit Zimbabwe and Zambia for instance, that will get your blood pumping!
How many of you are there – We arrange tailor made holidays for couples, families, groups (of up to 10 people) and specialist travellers like photographers, yogis and people looking for a more spiritual journey. Our private Kruger safaris encompass all of these and are the perfect safaris to tailor to your needs.
What type of accommodation do you enjoy – For some, it’s comfort and 5-star service only while for others they prefer to stay in more authentic glamping locations. There is no right or wrong decision here, it is up to you but it can greatly affect the cost.
What about insurance, vaccinations and that kind of irritating stuff – Yup, we know it is painful to have to talk about these things, especially if you are travelling after 2020. However, never fear my travelling friend! We have a fully loaded FAQ section that we lovingly call our African safari guide (it’s not original, we know).

What about budget? Tell us what you have to spend and we’ll make it work or, on the rare occasion we can’t, we’ll offer you a range of well-informed alternatives to meet your requirements

Are you looking for a guided tailor made holiday

Ahem, not to point out the obvious here, but that’s what we do.

Having a guide with you enhances every single aspect of your safari or tour. In conjunction with your trip planned meticulously, you then have a guide executing the plan perfectly and intercepting any minor problems that may crop up. We are in the business of providing experiences and adding a guide is honestly, something everyone, especially families should consider.
