This saw us working in the major national parks in Zimbabwe, Zambia and in the Okavango and Linyanti areas of Botswana and visiting Namibia on numerous occasions. In that time we sat under a fig tree with a whole pride of lions in the Busanga Plains, pioneered canoeing safaris in Botswana, observed real-time interactions of epic proportions at Chitake Springs, quad biked the Makgadikgadi Pans, observed incredible concentrations of wildlife on an October day in South Luangwa and photographed desert adapted elephants in the Skeleton Coast. Then it was time to get to work. To design special experiences in areas of unspoilt wilderness which we know intimately. The national parks of Zimbabwe provided the perfect blend of sceneries, wildlife concentrations and less frequented safari destinations. 

Activities are excitingly diverse with canoeing, walking, game drives, boating, platform sleep outs and trekking adventures to mention but a few. This as you may probably imagine took a lot longer than planned as this journey is an adventure on its own. Since the inception of Tailormade Safaris in 2008 we have shared unimaginable experiences with guests from Europe, Australia, the Americas and the Southern African region. 

Most of our guests have over the last few years fallen in love with the way we deliver the African experience and become repeat guests who continue to return for these unscripted adventures. Today we can happily say, over the last few years we have gained invaluable experience in doing what we set out to do, create and deliver once in a lifetime experiences. 

We have built a team of professionals that are good at what they do and have come to understand where we want to be and the experiences that we would like to offer our safari guests. We have judged our success not by the number of guests we have hosted but by how life changing their African experience was and by their interest to come back to us to tailor other journeys in our region of expertise.
