Tailor Made Holiday

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).

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.
