“Our trip to South Africa was absolutely unforgettable! We spent five incredible days in Cape Town with a perfectly packed itinerary that covered all the highlights - from an exhilarating shark cage dive to exploring the Cape of Good Hope, hiking Lion’s Head, and visiting two stunning vineyards. Our driver and guide were fantastic, making every day smooth and enjoyable.
From there, we continued to Knysna for two nights along the breathtaking Garden Route, with spectacular hikes in Tsitsikamma and plenty of scenic stops along the way. The journey from the Garden Route to Sabi Sands was seamless, and once there, we were lucky enough to spot all of the Big Five. The game drives were wonderfully thoughtful - from hot water bottles and blankets to coffees and water - every detail was taken care of with such care.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Zuri Escapes. From the very beginning, the interaction in creating our perfect itinerary was thoughtful and detailed. Sangeeta handled our large group’s many questions with patience and efficiency - nothing was ever too much trouble. This was truly a trip of a lifetime!"

“Zuri Escape safaris are a spectacular revelation to those of us used to the thick shrouded jungles of India, where there is always a question mark, as to whether there will indeed be an animal sighting however, however distant. In Masai Mara, Kenya, it is not a hit or miss experience. You witness close up the African animal kingdom come to life in the grasslands. Lions sleeping in the low grass of the Savannah with their cubs, zebras gamboling and kicking their hind legs, giraffes with their high necks gracefully nibbling leaves from the tall trees uninhibited by jeeps in the vicinity. And so many other magnificent sightings. Graceful gazelles scuttle around you. In the distance a fight breaks out between two male deer over claims to the female standing coyly by. Animals scamper away as the hawk eyed hyena comes looking for prey. The elephant, the leopard, the enormous buffaloes, along with the ferocious rhino, and the lion, are the Big Five of the savanna. And you will get an opportunity to see them if you wait long enough. If you are lucky, as we were on two consecutive days, we even saw the sleepy lion come to life, stretch out, let out a mighty roar and forcefully claim his mate without preliminaries. In the African wilderness there is always something new happening around you. Eagles and vultures flying overhead, ostriches walking haughtily near the lakes, flocks of pink flamingos wading in the water.
Zuri Escapes introduced us to so many fascinating experiences on our Africa journey. From watching the golden sunsets in the Savannah to witnessing the famous migration of the Wildebeest and zebra from high up in a balloon. We were also guided to the best places to stay, where you are one with nature and yet can enjoy your creature comforts. Their insider knowledge of Nairobi’s iconic restaurants and historic lodges once frequented by Ernest Hemingway and Karen Blixen added a rich layer of cultural depth. Truly, our visit to Kenya was an experience of a lifetime, thanks to Zuri Escapes."

“My friends and I used Zuri Escapes to organise our trip to Kenya, and I could not recommend them more. The trip from start to finish was so well thought out; every day was tailored to our tastes. The team had the local knowledge to guide us as to which sites to see and which hotels we should stay in. Without their guidance and constant care we would not have had the trip we had- it was truly life-changing. I highly recommend Zuri Escapes if you want to be guided by the true experts in the travel industry, who would also add a personal touch to their organisation.”

“We had such a wonderful trip to Kenya, from the initial planning stages through to the return trip home we felt so well looked after. Thank you for your incredible attention to detail on every part of the trip from the outlined summary itinerary of the trip, confirming the requirements for travel, arranging all our transportation and collections at the airports and hotels, and providing suitable options for restaurants to suit the group, overseeing the ground handling staff who were. so friendly and helpful it was just fantastic, we could not recommend your service enough!
Whilst we are South African and know the “African cultures” it is without a doubt essential to have a touring operator manage a trip like this, a group of 15 people including 3 generations, you made it feel effortless, seamless, and most enjoyable for all of us to tour the beautiful country and experience the best of Kenya! We loved seeing it in its raw state as we safaried across the land from Nairobi, to Tsavo game reserve to Kilifi coastline and we got to enjoy its luxuries too.
We really felt we had the perfect balance of experiencing the friendly and hospitable Kenyan culture and the beautiful resorts which you carefully selected for us to meet our needs and most importantly to fit our budget! Thank you once again for all your hard work, we will certainly aspire to visit Kenya again in the not-too-distant future.”

“Zuri Escapes planned the best anniversary trip for us. They went above and beyond to understand what we wanted to experience and delivered exactly that! Our travel experience was extremely smooth and catching connecting flights a breeze. Boththe lodges we visited were absolutely outstanding. They took special care with our food requirements and were extremely hospitable. Zuri escapes outdid themselves with their attention to detail and the amazing sightings which we had will be forever etched in our brains and heart.”
