Fantastic team - 100% delivered! Highly recommend To Escape To
Ingram, Llauren and the team at To Escape To tailored our first family holiday to Sth Africa. They were brilliant! Nothing was ever too hard and they made sure that our expectations were exceeded. Our safari was tailored perfectly, we could not ask for anything more. Excellent follow up communication before, during and after our trip. Our shark dive was cancelled by operator only days before but the To Escape To team already had alternative options already in place. Communication was prompt and reflected outstandingly in this instance.
Our 3 day safari was at Sanbona with a 5 star experience. We engaged To Escape To only weeks before our holiday (business trip predominantly) and I can only praise there expert service and experience that delivered an experience like no other.
We are still talking about our trip and this definitely has been THE best holiday we have ever had. I truly believe we have To Escape To to thank for that. You guys are awesome!
I highly recommend To Escape To no matter your budget or timeline they will deliver!

Safari holiday in Botswana
We had a fabulous holiday – nothing to criticise; all the accommodation was excellent, we were extremely well looked after and it was all seamless in moving from one place to another either by plane or road - we went to two camps in Botswana for two days each at the Lagoon and Lebala camps. Food was just right - nothing to fancy - and I can't see how our holiday could have been improved. Our four children loved it and it was like stepping back in time with no mobiles, emails or internet so they had no escape. We had great views of lions, a leopard in a tree, masses of elephants, giraffes etc – nothing really escaped our eagle eyed guides. Four days was about the right length for us.
Organisation was excellent and Llauren at To Escape To were very helpful in making suggestions and dealing with all the day to day changes in planning the itinerary. All very clear. I shall be saving up our pennies!

A truly exciting, unforgettable, 3 week adventure from Cape Town to Zimbabwe and a slice of Botswana
Friends put us on to To Escape To after a highly successful holiday in Kenya. Our communication with the To Escape To team in Cape Town initially from the UK and later from within South Africa was a synch. It soon became apparent that the team had a really broad understanding of the African continent and further afield. Their advice and help was always very quickly available.
To Escape To's interpretation of our rough ideas and their subsequent choice of venues, accommodation and events was perfect. We wanted to see some of the highlights of South Africa, from Cape Town to Kwazulu Natal plus a few days at the Victoria Falls. Our finalised itinerary also took in the Cape winelands; the Garden Route; Drakensberg mountains; Kwazulu game reserves; Indian Ocean beaches and three days in Zimbabwe and Botswana. A gentle start leading up to a crescendo at the Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park.
Our absolute favourite was the 'andBeyond' Phinda Private Game Reserve. An extraordinary organisation, sophisticated and professional, but with the most wonderful genuine welcome. We instantly felt like one of the family. On arrival we were introduced to our ranger and tracker who immediately took us on an introductory safari, the precursor to morning and evening safaris for the next three days. We saw four of the 'big five' - the leopard eluded us, but we did see cheetah and cubs - and many other animals and birds. Each couple had their own spacious lodge with a plunge pool shared with elephants which came to drink during dry spells. Nyala and wart hogs sheltered in the shade, and from predators, beneath our lodge - just magic.
After visiting the awesome Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, and staying in the equally wonderful Ilala Lodge, we snatched a day in Botswana's Chobe game park. Getting really close up to elephants, a herd of touchy male water buffalos, and huge hippos vying for territory and mating rights, from a very small boat was incredibly exciting. Then there were the other favourites: giraffes, wart hogs, zebras, wildebeest and the antelopes. Between Phinda and Chobe we encountered a huge diversity of animals and birds, the majority of the 29 animals and 74 birds we recorded on our three week stay.
All these wonderful opportunities were put together by To Escape To's gifted team
