    This was only my third group trip and it’s hands-down the best one I’ve ever been on. I also love that we took time to give back to the local community that was so special. Im already planning to join another trip Im Africa this year and I cant wait. Thank you so much Lucas 🫶🏼✨

    Kenya- Wow! What can I say? For starters I just want to thank our guide Lucas (the owner and manager of Indy Escapes). He was absolutely incredible and made me feel so Comfortable and safe as a solo female traveller. It was so lovely also being apart of a small company tour that is so unique and well thought out, rather than a large company with many guides. He ordered the trip in a way that could include extreme bucket list moments (such as feeding giraffes, patting elephants and watching cheetahs attack in the Masai Mara) and also relaxing times by the pool with friends while still experiencing true Kenyan culture. We got to visit a school, a special school, a slum and also be apart of several meaningful projects which felt very special too. We had such a brilliant group of 20 likeminded people, had lovely accommodations and ate such delicious and traditional food. I couldn’t recommend this trip, Lucas and Indy Escapes enough for a bucket list safari adventure! Uganda- I was recently one of Indy Escapes Uganda and Rwanda gorilla trekking tours and let me tell you, it was nothing short of mind blowing. If gorilla trekking is on your bucket list, you must join this trip! Firstly, our guide Lucas (also the creator, manager and CEO of the small travel company) was incredible and made me feel so so safe as a female solo traveller in Africa! He was such a mature, organised and fun guide with so much knowledge on Rwanda and Uganda. The gorilla trekking day was so surreal and the other guides involved were also great. This trip has a little bit of everything and is not too rushed either. I really loved this trip and would do it again!

    One of the most amazing weeks of my life hands down! Indy escapes has created such a safe, inclusive space for travellers to get a well rounded trip with relaxation, amazing food, amazing excursions and a social like minded group of people. I did the Turkey Sail and it was the perfect mix of activity and also downtime to enjoy the beautiful coastline - a highlight for me, something not included was the captain of the boat taking us to feed and swim with turtles - one of many examples of the boat crew going the extra mile for our enjoyment and experience 10/10 would recommend and I will 100% be going on another Indy escape!
