Tailor Made Safaris Your tailor-made dream trip to South Africa, crafted by people who live and work there! And all of that less than two hours drive from each other.

The northern part of the KwaZulu-Natal province is a paradise for the nature and culture loving traveller. It is here that one finds not only savanna with the famous Big-5 and other animals, but also forests, beaches, lakes, estuaries, wetlands and of course the sub-tropical Indian Ocean. Where else can one kayak amongst hippos and crocodiles, watch turtles lay eggs, see whales breach, swim with dolphins and whale sharks, scuba dive amazing coral reefs, embark on a walking safari with an armed ranger, take photos on game drives, enjoy the beach, or get eye to eye with cheetahs and elephants at an animal rehabilitation centre? Moreover, the climate here is lovely and the region practically malaria free! We regard ourselves as experts when it comes to create tours to northern KwaZulu-Natal. Contrary to other travel agents, we actually do really live here ourselves and can genuinely call ourselves specialists of the region. In addition, all our tours are created in such a way that one will really 'experience' South Africa rather than just cruise through South Africa 'sight seeing'. To achieve this, we give our guests/clients extensive information packs about the destinations, limit travel times between destinations to about 2 hours max, and have them stay for more than one day at destinations, in order to get a genuine experience. Lastly, all our guided tours are not led by a generic tour guide, but by a professional and highly qualified safari guide or biologist. Our travel products include self drive safaris, guided safaris or a combination thereof. In addition we focus on photographic safaris, where we can include gear rental and photographic workshops/lessons if so desired. Visit our website www.tailormadesafaris.co.za or drop us an email at [email protected]. We would love to help you create the safari of a lifetime!

Never a boring day! Even travelling by road in South Africa is always full of surprises! On this trip bringing my kids to school not only did these cows block my road but also a group of goats as well as a mother hen and her chicks...and back in St Lucia I had to slow down for monkeys who were picking termites of the road. These things always put a smile on my face.....not something I would see in the Netherlands!! On a serious note, always be aware when driving in South Africa that wild and domestic animals may suddenly cross the road.....

What an incredible sighting! In this amazing video by Christy Strever, a pod of orcas in Plettenberg Bay tries to hunt a southern right whale calf. Watch how the mother keeps manoeuvring to protect her baby. Nature at its most powerful, right along the Garden Route in South Africa!

We love the perks of our job! And one of our favourite perks is doing site visits to the wonderful lodges we send our guests to. Last weekend we had the pleasure to stay at Makhasa Game Lodge and we were treated with wonderful sightings of rhino, hyena cubs, lions with cubs and these wonderful cheetah sightings. The cheetahs were part of a three male coalition and 2 of them walked right past our car. We couldn't have gotten closer if we tried!

When you are a rhino and you have an itch.....then you take a mud bath and will find a good tree to scratch your bum.

πŸŒ™ Silence as a Luxury

Think about the last time you heard true silence β€” no traffic, no notifications, no hum in the background. For most of us, that memory barely exists.

Then the engine switches off in the African bush. And what rushes in isn't nothing β€” it's everything you forgot you were missing. Wind through dry grass. A fish eagle calling in the distance. As night falls, only the crackle of a fire and a sky impossibly thick with stars.

Researchers have found that real silence does more than feel peaceful β€” it lowers blood pressure and stress hormones, and gives an overstimulated mind the rest it's been craving. Out here, that silence isn't scheduled between meetings. It simply surrounds you.

Some journeys give you stories to tell. This one gives you the rare gift of hearing your own thoughts again. 🌌✨

Let Tailor Made Safaris help you find it.

Thank you Stephanie for this wonderful review! Recently returned from an amazing trip to South Africa! Thanks to Candace...

Yesterday was World Rhino Day, but according to us every day should be Rhino Day! These spectacular animals are unfortunately under continuous threat from poaching.
