Why Choose Tailor Made Safaris Over a UK Travel Agency?
Yes, there are plenty of good travel agencies in the UK. They’re professional, friendly, and helpful — but they’re generalists. Much like a supermarket, they offer every destination under the sun. That’s great for variety, but not for specialist knowledge. Most UK-based travel consultants only know a little about a lot. Why? Because they live in the UK and might visit their destinations once every few years — and only briefly. When it comes to detailed, up-to-date, first-hand advice, they simply can’t compete. At Tailor Made Safaris, we do things differently. We’re not a supermarket. We’re a specialist boutique. Our expertise is focused — laser-focused — on one incredible region: South Africa’s Elephant Coast. And we’re not just selling holidays here — we live here. This is our home. Our team is based in South Africa, right in the heart of the Elephant Coast, which means you get real local insight, not second-hand information. We don’t just know the lodges — we’ve stayed in them. We know the guides, the managers, the food, the beds, the best rooms, and what truly makes each experience memorable. When you book with Tailor Made Safaris, you’re getting more than a trip — you’re getting personal recommendations based on first-hand experience. For those looking for a high-end experience, you’re in safe hands. Candace, our Luxury Portfolio Manager, personally oversees our 4- and 5-star properties. With years of experience and a meticulous eye for quality, she ensures every luxury safari or beach lodge meets your expectations — and exceeds them. So, if you’re looking for a truly tailor-made African holiday, designed by experts who live and breathe the region every day, you’ve found the right team. |

Drive Less, Experience More...
We are also unique in our philosophy, where we believe it is more important to spend quality time at the destination, rather than how famous a destination is. Because unfortunately, most famous names are a long way from each other, requiring long road transfers or time consuming flights to combine them. We take our slogan seriously, and ensure you spend as little time in transit as possible, so you can spend maximum time at the destinations!
Let's not waste your precious time on unnecessary transit time, shall we?
