Cape Town and Safari. Mr and Mrs Smith
Just a short note to thank the Team at Native Escapes for making our recent trip to Cape Town and our safari to the Kichaka Game Reserve so enjoyable. It really was the best trip we have ever been on and everything you organised for us exceeded our expectations.

Kenya and Tanzania Safari. The Mcleod party
We want to express our appreciation and thanks to you for guiding us through the planning and completion of this African trip. You were there for us every step of the way, always available, quick to answer our questions, resolve our issues and also checking in on us as time went on.
We were incredibly fortunate to have 2 wonderful guides. They masterfully answered all our questions, adding so much context, knowledge and thoughtfulness to his responses. They challenged us to think, learn and taught us so much.
The locations of the Lodges were spectacular and all charming. We expected that we would see some animals. That was quickly surpassed as the list grew exponentially to our amazement and absolute delight. Learning about the Masai people, their communities and at least a little bit about the people of Kenya and Tanzania in the present day was an important part of our experience.
Very grateful for a successful bucket list trip!.

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.

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.

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.
