About Us
Full-service luxury operator with more than 20 years of experience
Our Story
TailorAfrica began life in 2005, built by a team with a passion for travel and a commitment to exceptional service. Our specialists are recognised globally for decades of experience operating on the ground across the continent, and we use that experience to benefit every guest.
We partner with a carefully selected collection of lodges, hotels, camps and experiences. Our long standing relationships mean we can offer added value and exclusive offers. But our real speciality is creating journeys around you. Whether you are planning a honeymoon, a family adventure or a getaway with friends, every itinerary is designed from scratch to suit your budget, wishes and expectations.
You will be guided by consultants who have travelled widely and know each destination personally. They keep their knowledge current so that their advice is meaningful.
Your financial security matters to us. We are SATSA bonded and prepay all our suppliers, so every guest is protected against the unlikely default of any supplier or our own business.
Our headquarters are in Cape Town, South Africa, and we have representative offices in every destination we serve: Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Malawi, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa, Mauritius, Seychelles and the Maldives. Wherever you travel with us, there is a TailorAfrica presence nearby.
Our quality promise is simple: we do not sell a lodge or experience we have not vetted ourselves. That way, you can enjoy your trip with complete peace of mind.
We look forward to designing an unforgettable holiday experience for you.
