The trip to Namibia was our best holiday ever!
Simon at Native Escapes recommended a fantastic itinerary for our trip to Jo'burg and Namibia. The trip exceeded all our expectations and we would highly recommend it to everyone. We had a one night stop over at the Africa Rock Hotel in Jo'burg which was so welcoming and friendly and when we returned from our trip to Namibia they couldn't do enough for us. Simon arranged a great 5h tour of Jo'burg which gave us a real overview of the city. Our trip to Namibia was very well organised and our guide, Will, was friendly, patient and very knowledgeable about the birds, wildlife and Namibia in general. All aspects of the trip were very well organised and the lodges very welcoming and friendly and all very different. Every day of the trip brought new and exciting adventures, from climbing up a huge sand dune at sunrise, walking through a deep canyon, seeing whales, penguins and dolphins on a boat trip in Walvis Bay, quad biking in the sand dunes near Swakopmund, seeing the rock paintings at Twyfelfontein, visiting a Himba village, seeing the desert adapted elephants, seeing the wildlife in Etosha National Park and finally visiting Afri Cat conservation project for big cats.

Excellent service; complete value for the price charged
Rose and David were exceptionally good ; we have no complaints. The tour is excellent for budget travelers; hotels are good for the price offered. David is excellent at spotting animals and tells a lot of details about each of them. Recommend them for everyone who wishes to explore masai mara without a huge dent in their wallets.

Our experience was tremendous, we saw more animals and beautiful scenery than I ever expected.
Our guide David was excellent in all areas -- finding animals, knowing all about them, knowing their behavior -- and overall took such good care of us. He communicated well, let us guide our schedule to a certain degree and showed us his country in such a wonderful way. Everything met our expectations -- lodging was very good and a variety of camps and lodges. Food was very adequate. We felt safe during the entire time. Before leaving we had email communications that were adequate to answer a few questions. It was a great trip!

Once in a lifetime experience!
Everything was perfectly arranged!
A week or two before our trip, we've received a very nice self-drive package including a TomTom, mobile phone and a lovely photo book with lots of useful information about our trip including accommodations, tips for restaurants, things to do, GPS coordinates etc.
We had an amazing self-drive trip through South-Africa and Swaziland. We went for four weeks to Cape Town, St Lucia, Mkuze, Manyoni Private Game Reserve, Rocktail Bay, Kosi Bay and Tembe Elephant Park.
Mavela Game Lodge was definitely a once in a lifetime experience. The tents, the relax atmosphere, the incredible beautiful lodge and our guide Andrew made this stay one of the highlights of our trip. We have spotted here the Big 4+: lions, elephants, black/ white rhinos, buffalos and cheetahs! Amazing to hear lions roaring while you are trying to get some sleep in a luxury tent.
Rocktail Beach Camp was also an amazing lodge. We had the most amazing view from our luxury tent: we could see humpback whales jumping in the ocean, wow!
Don’t hesitate, just book! It’s definitely worth it! :-)

8 day Kilimanjaro and 10 day safari
Fantastic experience. They coordinated both my solo trek up Mt. Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho route as well as a 10 day group safari afterwards. Aurelie and Ben were responsive via email with answering questions prior to the trip and made some very valuable recommendations that made the trip even better.
The support crew for the successful trek, led by the guide Ignas, did a great job and I couldn't have asked for more. Everyone was very friendly, supportive and hard working.
For the safari our guide David was amazing. We started calling him the animal whisperer as he seemed to know where the animals were going to go before they did. He always seemed to know exactly where to drive or park the vehicle to get the best view of the animals.

Great tour operator , guide and driver
Dens Safari have organized for us a 21-day Zambia tour – Zambezi river , Kafue Park, Bussanga Plaints and a South Luangwa.
All transfers and meetings have been perfectly organized. Denver was our great guide and the driver on our trip to Bussanga Plaints - a part of Kafue park. His assistant - the cook Sakret perfectly served us on a trip to Kafue park ,where he provided to us fine food.
Stops in Zambezi river, in South Luangwa park and in Nsefu sector were in fine Lodges and Camp sites with excellent safaris with guides David and Moses.
We highly recommend Dens Safari .

We were always in good hands
Our 6 day safari organised by CKC Tours & Travel that went from Nairobi to Maasi Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater back to Nairobi was the trip of a lifetime and our safari exceeded our expectations. During our planning we request changes to our initial itinerary in terms of arrival and departure date / time. John adjusted the itinerary timings and arranged additional accommodation to meet our needs. From our arrival at Nairobi airport, through the game parks and border crossings, we were always in the hands of experienced, friendly, and very helpful staff. The whole experience was amazing: viewing the animals, the balloon ride, the Maasi village, the knowledge and friendliness of the drivers/guides, but most of all the animals. Thank you for the making the whole experience so enjoyable and memorable.

Well organised, great customer service, fab wildlife, an excellent humourous and knowledgeable guide
We had a great time on our game drive round Nairobi National Park. Features Africa gave great customer service during the booking process and always replied to my queries quickly and professionally. They allowed us to tailor our day to visit the places we wanted.
The safari tour itself was excellent. Our guide (I think his name was Francis) clearly new the park very well and also communicated with other guides which meant that we saw a buffalo being (briefly) attacked by lions. He was also very knowledgeable about all the animals we saw and was able to answer my barrage of questions. We were given lots of information about the social structures and family groups of the different species we saw which I was particularly interested in.
We saw a huge number and variety of animals on our game drive (including lions, giraffes, rhinos, buffalos, hippos, zebras, impalas and many many more) which I still can't believe all live so closely to Nairobi.
Even the journey back through Nairobi after the tour was interesting and entertaining with Francis giving us lots of information about life in Kenya.
