We use 4 star minimum graded accommodation, and provide a luxury itinerary version which uses super accommodations which focus on service, are located in excellent positions, with attention to detail in furnishings, food, views, etc.

At Native Escapes, we select accommodation according to particular interests, season of travel, budget and availability. We have travelled extensively in Southern Africa, and have a good level knowledge of the destinations and things to do. When you book, we ‘flesh out’ your itinerary with suggestions for things to do in each area, and will provide maps and directions to each destination with your final paperwork.

We have on-the-ground services by way of ground handlers, who provide an excellent service in the event of emergency. Because we purchase accommodation through ground handlers who sell to agents such as ourselves around the world, we have access to excellent rates which are not available for direct bookings; you should pay no more for direct bookings than if you book through us.

Finally, the recent collapses of other holiday companies such as XL – and indeed airlines such as Oasis, Nationwide and Maxjet show the importance of booking with bonded agents. We comply fully with the UK Package & Travel Regulations 1992. Holidays with flights included are covered by the company's ATOL Bond (Air Travel Organisers' Licence) held by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). This means that in the unfortunate event that our company should fail, the CAA will, arrange any necessary repatriation and any refund of monies paid to Native Escapes in advance. Our ATOL number is 9709.

In te case of packages without flights included, reimbursement from our insurance company covers only the elements of the holiday booked with Native Escapes. Note that this does not cover the client in the event of the failure of an airline with which they have booked their own flights.

Note that booking directly does not provide any financial cover in the event of any suppliers going into administration – and is often more expensive.
