Native Escapes could not have been more helpful, accommodating and very efficient.
A party of four of us have just arrived home from a fantastic trip to Namibia organised by Native Escapes. We flew to Windhoek and was taken to our guest house for a 2 night stay. Whilst there we where met by Native Escape agents in Windhoek, talked us through our planned route, we where driving ourselves, mobile phone, first aid kit and very good directions to our destinations. We travelled around 2500km staying at lodges with various activities included, not compulsory but most where taken up! All exceeded our expections from tracking leopards to climbing big Daddy sand dune and the desolation of the Skeleton Coast. We felt Native Escapes organised a fantastic tour for us and one we will always remember....could not recommend highly enough.

Quality Safari providers.
Travelling with a newborn baby was always a name nightmare for,not until I booked for an African safari with Safaribook evolution.
The first thing I give them credit for is the punctuality and that was a big deal for me having a newborn,a cranky teenage and a tired husband.
The driver Cyrus was his name. He was greeted us with a wide smile and helped load our luggage in the trunk.
The safari Mini van was clean and spacious that's a big deal for me as well. (Call me a clean freak)
Being a private Safari just for my family and i,the 7days safari kept getting bettet. These guys know exactly what a safari should feel like. From the scenic views to wild life,they are on point. I was amazed about how well connected they were to have known all the dynamics of safari in Zanzibar given that they were from kenya. At the end of it I forgot I had a newborn,she was ok the whole time. If you have a baby and wondering how you're ever gonna get that vacation,wonder no more. I can confidently recommend Safari book evolution to fix you just right. I am definitely coming back to Africa. Maybe this time I will explore kenya a bit and not Tanzania. Good job guys keep us coming :)

Once in a life time experience, but want to keep repeating.
This was the TRUE safari experience. I have been to Kenya/Tanzania for safari in the past with luxury accommodations and a reasonable wild life viewing. That did not come anywhere close to what was waiting for us on this safari.
The kind of wild life, both in quality and quantity that we were presented with on the Unlimited Safari was simply awesome. Moses, with his superb knowledge of animal behaviors and great anticipation based on the same, helped us see animals in different settings, as if they were giving scripted performances just for our private pleasure. Ten days at four different camp sites, with each site offering something unique in the type of wild life, was made even more enjoyable because of the kindness/friendliness of the staff, good sense of humor and fantastic food served fresh everyday. Special mention is deserved for the ' Sundowners ' prior to dinner time, yet another speciality of Moses. All in all, you will be amazed with the richness of experiences that you will be treated with, if you decide to go with the Unlimited Safari.

Nice people, great service
I've book a 11-day Kenya Tanzania safari trip with Kenya Budget Safaris.
The consultant who I contacted with is Esther. She was very helpful and nice.
I was travel alone and I've chosen to join group tour.
In the 11 days I've traveled with three groups. But this is okay, they arranged well.
And the travel agency in Tanzania is World Tours Safari.
Their service was also good. The foods are fantastic, and of course I've seen many animals (Big 5).
Next time if I have chance to travel in East Africa again, I'll choose these two company again.

Memories to last us a lifetime.........
My Husband and I also used Global Insight Safaris and our guide was Didimus. It was the most amazing experience of our lives. The service was incredible, to be honest, when I contacted Baraka for Safari, I became bit suspicious as he used to reply usually within 1-2 hours (even in the night). Also, this safari company is quite new and therefore had to search for how genuine they are, before transferring advance payment. Recommendations from friends about the company made me to trust them. Baraka helped to arrange and make our honeymoon safari itinerary in the best convenient way. I was completely satisfied with his responses towards my all questions and queries.
Our guide, Didmus, had lots of experience and he knew all the birds and other small animals. We really liked him, and we were very lucky because we had the chance to see the big five, which, as he told us, may not be very easy. And he also provided us with binoculars, which was very useful when you can only see an animal several meters away from you. We also did an extension to northern Serengeti to watch the great migration crossing. There we could actually watch animals more closely, and we had the chance to watch a herd of lionesses hunting a zebra.
The overall experience was great, we loved the safari, loved our guide. The company matched our expectations, which were very high, since it was the trip of our dreams. Baraka was very helpfull, always helping us and answering our questions and doubts, and Nadia too. We would definitly come back with Global Insight Safaris

Amazing Safari Experience
From the moment I contacted Baraka, I felt reassured. He responded promptly and cheerfully. He helped me customize our safari, accommodating me and my wife. We stayed in all types of accommodation from mobile camps and lodges to a fancy hotel in Zanzibar. Baraka's recommendations were spot on, The overall experience with Global Insight Safaris couldn't be better, they've exceeded the high expectations i always had, it was definitely the key to make our honeymoon a dream.
The booking process perfectly handled by Baraka, always answering my questions extremely promptly. He understood quickly me and my wife's preferences, magnificent on tailoring our itinerary.
Airport pick-up and briefing given by Nadia , where all the details for the safari were carefully reviewed.
A special compliment to our guide Didimus Mato, very knowledgeable, experienced and always friendly. We learned tons about all the fauna and flora of the parks visited. Didimus is absolutely outstanding in detecting animals from far away while driving the 4x4, and yes... we got the BIG 5!!
Thank you so much...... Global Insight Safaris

It was everything we wanted to do & see
Communications were good. service good, very happy with guide Amiri who went out of his way to assist.
Food was good, accomadations good.
Simple easy camping friendly game site
Moremi game drive is situated at a comfortable distance from maun meaning that the accommodation at maun works well. The reserve has a wonderful campsite and guides are trained professionals. Guided facilities are recommended as they can spot better game sightings. However a good 4x4 vehicle makes this place a good destination for a self drive safari if you are camping. The trails are well defined and the park monitored by the rangers. Spotting of lepords and running giraffes are my favs. Elephants are plenty in Botswana and wonderful place to visit and will not blow a whole into your travel budget.
