Zimbabwe Safari. Ms Waddington
We had a wonderful holiday, thank you. Everything went according to plan and there were no problems whatsoever with any of the arrangements.
Without exception, everyone we met in Victoria Falls, Hwange and Mana Pools was friendly and helpful, and always happy to sit and chat between drives.
Particular highlights were the Elephant Express – what a fabulous experience and thank you for suggesting it as a means of getting to Hwange. A really wonderful way of spending a few hours – along with the food and drink, of course! We were fortunate enough to see two male lions on a number of occasions and also an afternoon spent in a hide by a waterhole watching elephant drinking and generally splashing around will never be forgotten.
The four days in Mana Pools were out of this world – I think it’s probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited and many a happy hour was spent gazing out at the Zambezi listening to the hippos! Another highlight there was the wild dog which we saw on two or three occasions.
To be honest, I didn’t have very high expectations of the food we would get at Mana Pools but it was fantastic. I have no idea how the chef created the various dishes using just a couple of gas rings in a tiny little area behind the main tent!
So, thank you again for all your suggestions in planning the itinerary – very much appreciated.

South Africa Garden Route and Safari. Mr & Mrs Baker.
We got back yesterday after an amazing trip.
You looked after us so well that we would certainly recommend you to our friends.
The accommodation exceeded our expectations and was wonderful without exception.
The safari was our highlight I think, and our guide Josh was great company and so knowledgeable.
All in all a great holiday.

Rwanda gorilla trek. Mr and Mrs Shayer.
We wanted to send you a huge thank you as we had the most incredible experience in Africa, with the Rwandan gorillas as a huge highlight!
It was a once in a lifetime adventure and it was certainly helped by the wonderful help, care and expertise from the ground staff – in particular our driver/guide.
All the hotels that we stayed in were of great quality and we would highly recommend them, along with the fabulous staff.
The itinerary that you planned and organised for us was fabulous and it was done in the right order too.
The Dian Fossey trek was amazing and we are thrilled that we did it. But I would like to let you know for your future clients, to be informed that you do need to have a very good level of fitness as it is a long steep trek, at a high altitude which doesn’t help with the difficulty.
The standout part for us both was obviously the gorillas and we would highly recommend this anyone that is interested in doing this type of adventure. The tour guides, porters and trackers were incredible and really helped in making this a unforgettable experience!
It was absolutely amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and with your expertise in organising this wonderful trip and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Self-drive Namibia. Mr and Mrs Doyle
We had the most fantastic experience. From the moment we arrived to leaving everything ran so smoothly.
The mix of our accommodation worked really well. The country is like nothing I have ever seen before, every journey we took going from lodge to lodge was just awe inspiring.
Every place we visited was truly an adventure and amazing places to stay. This trip will forever stay in our minds as a most fantastic holiday.

South Africa and Seychelles Honeymoon. Mr Cheung
The trip was nothing short of perfection. Thank you so much for helping organize literally the most amazing and unforgettable honeymoon that we could have ever asked for.
Everything from the hotels to the excursions to the private transfers and internal flights – it was literally flawless. Dulini River Lodge was definitely the most memorable part. This was our first safari experience and I think we are both hooked. It was incredible. Capping it off in the Seychelles definitely took splurging to the next level and Maia most certainly delivered. This resort was luxurious, exclusive, and set in one of the most stunning places ever. It was the perfect way to cap off our trip.
The tours that you helped arrange in Capetown, Winelands, and Jo’burg were excellent and we would highly recommend the guides/companies.
A major part of why this trip went so well was that you made the planning process so easy and personal. You were knowledgeable, accessible, and professional.
Thank you again for everything. We would definitely recommend you and Native Escapes to anyone travelling to SA and we look forward to the prospect of working with you again in the future.
