Perfect Family Adventure
5/5

We traveled with our Two young children to South Africa for almost a month, and are so pleased that we used Native Escapes for our bookings. As well as helping us design the trip, they took care of all of the logistics; flights, transfers, accommodation, rental cars, safari tours etc and I can honestly say we did not experience a single hitch. Ironically the one thing we did arrange ourselves was the NZ /SA visas and opted for single entry which meant we could not enter Swaziland. Stuck at the border and with no accommodation for that night we called the number provided by Native Escapes and were immediately put at ease by their local team who diverted us to excellent alternative accommodation. We could tell from the very first contact through to the end of our amazing experience that Native Escapes is run by a small, caring, and knowledgeable team.

We would not even consider another agency for our next adventure !

Personal Service and Great Response when things go wrong
5/5

We have used Native Escapes twice - once for a self drive in Malawi and one for a tour covering Victoria Falls, Hwange and Cape Town. Simon put together a great itinerary in conversation with us - and then made all the arrangements. These were quite complex with numerous transfers plus attention to accommodation for a family travelling with two 12 year old children plus grandmother. All proved to be excellent choices and all the transfers went smoothly with the exception of the car hire in Cape Town which was not delivered to our apartment when expected. However, Simon's response was rapid, personal and solved the problem together with understanding that this had messed up a morning for us - and so was able to get us the car for extra time. Things do go wrong, and being able to talk with Simon directly via email rather than go to a call centre was great. I would recommend them for any trip which is beyond the very standard that you can get from the big operators and where you need personal service and personal experience of where you are going.

Fantastic self drive holiday in Namibia and Botswana!
5/5

We had previously used this company for a self drive holiday in Namibia and knew just how good our latest trip would be. We were not disappointed, as expected the accommodation was fantastic, the scenery breath taking and the people unbelievably friendly. For anyone planning a trip in any of the countries covered by this company, we would suggest you stop looking for alternatives and use them! We had some issues with one of the lodges and on our return these were dealt with comprehensively and to more than our full satisfaction. That said even these issues could not detract from the holiday of a lifetime. Thank you all so much!

Exceeded expectations!
5/5

We live in Argentina and we got to Native Escapes by the internet, without having had any reference from anyone we knew. We were looking for a family safari and beach in east Africa.
Marie was so very helpful and immediately got the type of holidays we were looking for. All her suggestions were great and while in Tanzania we realized we had taken the right decision with NE. Our guide was great and helpful. Our children (13 and 11) were astonished from such an experience of watching wildlife that close. Accommodation was very good and food was good for us and the children.
This were one of our best holidays and Marie and Native Escapes had a lot to do with it.

Fantastic, professional service based on their experience.
5/5

Expectations met over and above on all three safaris. We have used Native Escapes before and we can't fault them. Choices of accommodation were offered making this a very personal trip.
Nothing was too much trouble and everything went like clockwork.
Botswana was wonderful and accommodation,staff and safari guides were welcoming and knowledgeable especially if you learn a few words of the local language.
