Hi Tanya,                                                                                                                  
I just wanted to follow up on our trip to Africa last week. We had a GREAT time!  Everything we did and all accommodations, transfers, assistance, etc. far exceeded all our expectations!  Your advice and recommendations were excellent! Thanks again for making this an experience of a lifetime and one we will never forget - it was very special for my daughter, as well as my friend and I!

Bobby Carroll travelled to Zimbabwe (November 2009)
Dear Nadia,
We would really like to thank your agency for a wonderful trip to Zimbabwe.  The Kingdom Hotel was an extremely beautiful and relaxing place to stay. The hotel was first rate, the service at the hotel was fantastic. The two scheduled activities, the Elephant ride, and tour of Victoria Falls, were fantastic. The tour group you set us up with were extremely helpful in scheduling two new activities. We went on an evening river cruise where we saw alot of wildlife, we also went to a Boma Dinner. The dinner was great because of the food and entertainment. Every person we dealt with and met associated with the tour company were extremely professional and nice. We really enjoyed the trip and if we had time would probably go there again and spend more time.
Thanks for everything.
Bobby Carroll

Tom Deoudes from USA travelled to Victoria Falls (October 2009)
Hi Nadia
Thanks again for everything, it all went very well. The hotel was nice and a very good value. The breakfast was fantastic but dinner was only okay. The only thing I wish we did different was take the tour in Chobe instead of the sunset tour on the Zambezi. We would have done it but the return visa's would have cost and extra $80 a couple so we felt somewhat trapped in Zambia. The staff was very nice and tried to see to all our needs. The activity center was very accommodating and worked hard to help us in any way. We are obviously spoiled as to the way we like our waitress' to wait on us, although they were very nice they at times seemed a little slow. Not enough to harm the wonderful time and the experience we all shared. Darrell and I also got chased by the bull giraffe which of course we will never forget. Too long a story for this mail.  Again thank you very much for all your help, you really were a big part in making our trip a wonderful memory.
Sincerely,
Tom Deoudes

Stefanie Czyborra from Germany "Northern & Southern experience" (September 2009)
I've still been thinking of my 3 weeks time in Africa & for which, of course, the great pictures on my screen saver are a perfect support. I want to thank you all again for the great organization and realization of the tour. That was the first time I've attended such a tour. Before that, I only travelled through internetrail - which I liked, since I could be my own guide and stop everywhere I wanted to. For this reason, I was a little afraid of following a planed, scheduled journey each and every day. But after a short time I got used to it and enjoyed myself a lot! The whole tour structure was very good starting off in green South Africa into the Namibian desert. After some very dry and dusty days water and vegetation again were a boon! I would not have done the tour vice versa. 1 and a half days in Swakopmund were a nice change to the rest of the program. I think I don't have to say anything about Etosha! The stop at the border to Angola was kind of a rebound for not having seen lots of locals by then. The elephants in Botswana were absolutely amazing and are now some of my favorite shots.
Best regards from autumn Herisau

Norbert Roessler from Germany travelled to Namibia, Simbabwe and Botswana (August 2009)
We deliberately chose the Southern Skies tour, due to its variety (at first focus on water, then on wildlife and at the end on those amazing landscapes... all of that mixed with some culture). Our expectations of the tour were perfectly fulfilled. The organization was excellent - even for German standards - the food was varied and tasty and our guide was extremely dedicated. The only 'disadvantage' was we would have liked to stay longer at some places (Chobe, Kwando, Etosha, Brandberg, Swakopmund), but that actually rather shows how great the tour was.

Maury J. Molin from USA travelled from Cape Town to Victoria Falls/Livingstone (July 2009)
WOW!! What a trip, experience and adventure I had. Jenman certainly knows what they are doing and if there is a better guide then Todd Mentz I like to meet him.  Todd's knowledge, driving skills, cooking and overall personality made to trip a perfect safari holiday. He always went the extra mile and took no shortcuts to our comfort, handing everything professionally, and sharing a complete African safari experience.  The entire "Southern Experience" gives one a very diverse taste of culture, geography, animals and views that are second to none. This is my third trip to Africa I have been to over 60 countries in the world and all of the continents and have found this adventure to be the best ever.  Back in the states now for 5 days and I am missing the southern experience... Good luck to future travelers with Jenman and especially our guide Todd Mentz. For those that do not gain the experience that Jenman and your guides provide then they are missing out. Cheers! Maury J. Molin, East Stroudsburg, PA USA

Jan Krucker from Germany travelled to Zambia (July 2009)
The tour is absolute recommendable, except the „delayed tour start “ (...) everything worked perfectly. Our guide Mr Mecklenburg was absolute top class and conjured delicious food with the limited averages, he was always well-informed and helpful. The vehicle, a Toyota Land Cruiser, was in very good condition. The route of the tour was fantastic, the tour description absolutely correct and very detailed. Hiking boots are really not required for the short walking-tours (as in advance advised by you). The visa for Zambia (one-time entry) is available for 50 USD without any problems. However, the nights in the tent are very cold; here it would be advisable to inform clients correct to bring a jumper, scarf and thick sleeping back. But we were never really cold. Kind regards from Düsseldorf, Jan Krucker

Wendy Crowder from California travelled to Zambia & Botswana (June/July 2009)
Hello Elana, we've been back in California for a month now after the wonderful safari you put together for us.  (June 25-July 15-Warren Gedye, guide)  All of my group of 10 enjoyed our time in Zambia and Botswana thoroughly. Warren was a superb guide, as I'm sure you know.  I can't recommend him too highly.  His humor, calm and competence never failed to make any potential problems disappear.  Thank you to you also for all the special treats you arranged for us, such as the sundowner cruise on the Zambezi and the dinner in Vic Falls.  Also, I appreciate you extra effort in finding and shipping the camera battery that we needed-it chased us around and found us, and thank you for taking it back when it turned out we didn't need it after all! A highlight of our trip was the visits you made possible to the schools, village and clinic in Mfuwe, Zambia.  We were all moved and impressed with the students/teachers/nurses we met.  We have been sending medical supplies and money directly to the clinic, and also to the schools through Robin Pope Safaris.  I've been to East Africa 5 times, and never have I been able to visit with the local people as was possible in Mfuwe-it was really a treat, especially for those in my group who had not been to Africa before. I do have a few suggestions that might help you in planning future safaris in the areas we visited. (…) We would have preferred to spend less time at Vic Falls.  As you know, we transited through Zimbabwe as the activities we chose were fully booked on the Zambian side.  When we arrived at Kubu Lodge, a great place, it was evident that we could have made a day trip to Vic Falls by road to look at the falls and do an activity.  This would have left more time to enjoy Chobe, which we would have liked.  We could perhaps have flown Mfuwe/Lusaka/Kasane, skipping the stop at Vic Falls.
Thank you, Elana.  You and Walter put together a terrific safari!  The six of us who had not been to Africa before have been bitten by the Africa bug; we'll all be back soon, we hope! All the best, Wendy

Larry Orlick from California travelled to Zambia and Botswana (June 2009)
Elana, this is just a note to let you know how much we appreciated the Jenman Safaris trip that my wife and I attended along with several other friends. We were accompanied by Warren Gedye on the trip in Zambia and Botswana from late June until mid July. Not only was the trip a terrific experience and a adventure to remember forever, but the trip was especially enjoyable with the smoothness and how virtually "bump free" the whole trip went. This was in no small part as a result of Warrens experience and abilities to deftly manage a bunch of bumbling tourists. Warren handled every situation with a smile, competence and professionalism that only comes from his superior people managing skills and ability to  handle situations "on the fly" that are required of traveling on the road, particularly in Africa where "kinks" pop up around every corner. His great sense of humor and wealth of campfire stories of past experiences kept our spirits high for the whole trip. Kudos to your company for having such a fine employee and tour leader. Give that guy a huge raise! Sincerely Yours, Larry Orlick & Kathy Donovan; Oakland, California

Niels Svane Müller from Denmark travelled to Botswana (June 2009)
By the way I heard from Niels Svane Müller and they have had a fantastic tour - lots of good experiences and African adventure!! So I bring on the positive feedback to you. Please let the guide know as well ;-)

Verena Knupp from Switzerland travelled to Botswana (June 2009)
Good day Hilka! We arrived back home safely. The travel was excellent; however most of the regions were over flown. The animals were scattered in small groups over the huge area. I am sure you are aware that this year there is no water shortage. Mike Miles always found a solution, his cool attitude in each situation and his safe driving style convinced us. The lodges and permanent tents were all good. (…) Kind regards and many thanks again to Mike Miles. Verena Knupp & Doris Aeschlimann

Irma - travelled to Botswana (May 2009)
Gentlemen, from 19 May up tp 04 june 2009 we had a safari booked through you. We enjoyed the itinerary very much (…). I want to express anyhow a particular mention for our driver-guide THOMAS DHLIWAYO, a very professional person, always ready to comply with our requests and to solve our problems. Thanks to his kindness and helpfulness, we now have a very beautiful recollection of this trip in the wonderful Africa. Thank you, Thomas!

Betty - Travelled to Botswana (May 2009)
"I just wanted to drop you a quick note and thank-you for your help setting up the Victoria Falls/Chobe part of a trip.  I was just working on organizing the pictures from the trip and realized that we are truly blessed.  Our experience in Africa was amazing. Chobe National Park exceeded our expectations.  The game drives were spectacular - We could not believe there could be that many elephant in one area. The lodge was also spectacular. The level of customer service was far superior to any other place we stayed in all of Africa. It is evident that excellent customer service is their focus. The Victoria Falls were also magnificent – it is no wonder it is one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the world. We are very pleased that this portion of the trip was a success.  We owe that to you.  Thanks again for making it possible."

Gerlinde - travelled to Botswana (April 2009)
"I had a great time!I want to thank you for all your fantastic assistance! Everthing worked out very well. Also the information on the Visa etc...Thank you very much again!The tour guide did a great job as well. That was definitly not my final trip to Africa!"

Chris Meyers - travelled to Botswana and Namibia (April 2009)
"We had a good time. Namibia and the Okavango Delta have stolen our hearts.  Usually when we get home we are all ready to get back to work etc. This time….NO. We keep listening for the birds and looking for animals. The last day of our trip in Johannesburg was quite an insult. After minimal exposure to TV, radio, telephone and people, it was hard to take. I can understand why the lodge owners we spoke to didn’t enjoy going to town….. There is a self sufficiency and independence they have by virtue of the distances some of them are from larger centers.  SWEET. One day we would like to sit on the other side of the "curtain" in the planes…..in those comfy seats……but will have to win the lottery first!!  On our way home, Keith was jammed between a very WARM, large lady and me on the other side.  He is very good natured and his comment was, "my…..she is TOASTY".  10 hours of overheating and he was ready to be off the plane. Thank you once again Elana, for making the planning of this trip so enjoyable. It was good to hear your voice when we first arrived in Johannesburg and we were able to catch an earlier flight to Windhoek.  If you would like more information about our trip, please contact me."

Hanna Norrgörd - travelled to Victoria Falls and Cape Town (December 2008) 
"I want to thank you for my travelling with you from Victoria Falls to Cape Town 6-25 dec -08! It was great and Chantell makes it all eaven better!
She wants / makes everybody to be happy and enjoy! I will for sure recommend my friends in Sweden to go with you! My best regards"

Barbarann Kanute - travelled to Cape Town and Victoria Falls (December 2008)
"Hello Amina, I meant to get this back to you sooner. I had a great trip and experience. I think starting the tour from the north is the best way to go........... everyday was better and better, it felt like we built our days back to civilization.  I'm sure Jenman knows what a great asset Chantel is to the company.  She is attentive to everyone (even with all the different personalities -- I could not do her job), has amazing knowledge of history, which is great to learn about, beyond the trip locations. (…) --I really enjoyed the extra activities at the N'kwazi Lodge; traditional dance group, garden/village tour. Thank you again for all your help in coordinating everything. I would take another Jenman tour in a moment. Thank you."

Susan Jonson - travelled to Africa, Botswana, Zambia and Namibia (November 2008)
"Just to let you know that we had an excellent holiday Chantel was a fabulous guide.  She really made the whole experience. Our travelling companions were fine - how nice it was to be 4 in the Landcruiser. We enjoyed our week in Cape Town. A beautiful city. All the trips were very interesting. The only disappointment was the whale watching which was a washout - literally - but we can't hold the inclement weather against Jenman. Thank you for the organization and Merry Christmas!" 

Peter and Anne White - travelled to Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa (October 2008)
"My husband and I were on the October African Journey tour that your company arranged for the Ramblers association of U.K. Every day since coming back to Canada, I find that I spend some time thinking of the wonderful time we had.   A lot of the success and enjoyment had to do with the excellent driving and guiding of Tod Mentz and Charlotte McClughan. They are a great advertisement for your company. They were as attentive to our needs on the 26th day as they were on the first day. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them. The lunches that they prepared were delicious and they always chose interesting places to have these meals. They have a lot of knowledge of Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa and were interesting when they shared their experiences. We would not hesitate to recommend your company to any friends who are considering going to Africa. We wish your company lots of success."
 

Sergio Nogueira - travelled to Botswana (October 2008)
"Hello Nadia, we are really happy with the tour and very satisfied with it. 
It was a good choice and loved all the places we've been to. Also our guide Hennie was great. The boat was great and so was the lodge, it is a really good place to spent some time, very nice people, great food, lovely location and good ameneties. Best regards"

Mona Finkelberg - travelled to Botswana (October 2008)
"I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the hard work and time you took with us planning our trip last month.  We had a wonderful time and your efforts on our behalf are greatly appreciated.  I know from the correspondence I read from my colleague that the group presented many challenges. I want to also thank you for the assignment of Thomas as our guide. He was stellar. It is the duty of a guide/Driver to know the terrain, know safety precautions and to be familiar with the flora and fauna of the area.  Of course, Thomas all this and more.  He escorted difficult clients and never lost his patience nor composure.  He was wise, patient and extremely knowledgeable.  He was a pleasure to have as the fifth member of our party.  Wherever we went, other tourists complemented us on our guide.  He always went the extra mile.  His disposition was always sunny. Having traveled the world with many guides over long periods I have never felt so positively about a guide. If Thomas is an exemplar of the guide that Jenman employs, it is certainly an agency which we would continue to do business with. Our trip though long, with much driving was made so much the better for having Thomas with us. I applaud Jenman and look forward to sending clients to you. Thank you Nadia. Thank you Thomas"

"Ia Ora Na Bernelle, Back home after a wonderfull trip around the world and fantastic safari. Look at the photos of Botswana !!! Many thanks again"

Sarah Nunn - travelled to Botswana (september 2008)
"Hi Hilka, It was all perfect! Having trouble settling back into my routine now (not that my job is very routine but anything where I'm not waking up in a tent, watching stunning sunrises and having a brilliant day with fantastic company just seems so bland). I have sent Jenman and you a letter saying thank you, so you should get that this week I hope. Kind regards"

Jessica & Wesley - travelled to Botswana (September 2008)
"The trip was perfect!! Now the problem is settling back into my everyday routine. Life at the moment seems bland, as I no longer wake up in a tented camp, watch breathe taking sunrises or have fantastic days filled with brilliant company. Many thanks to the Jenman team for setting up such a brilliant holiday filled with the best memories."

Andreas Heinze travelled to Botswana (September 2008)
"Thank you for asking about our trip. We even got our ‘complete’ luggage back, even though we had to transfer it to London. Apparently, we were lucky on our outbound flight, because Jan said that in Livingstone the luggage gets lost frequently! We liked our tour very much. The whole trip was wonderful and the arrangements as well as Jan were superb. And I enjoyed being a small group, if there were more people I wouldn’t have had so much fun. We only had one moment of shock, when we arrived at Livingstone and the driver from Safpar wasn’t there as previously arranged to meet us. A bunch of men then claimed that that the man from Safpar would never wait that long for us and that we were out of luck. They then informed us that the Safpar contact number was wrong and they tried to insist on driving us! Finally, a very nice man from a organization at the airport assisted us in getting our car from Safpar. That was very kind of him! The accommodation was very nice; the tents were great as well. Most of the camping sites were clean, except for two, where not everything worked there well. But that was ok. Jan was guiding us very well. We felt safe and secure all the time. It’s hard to tell, what we liked best, because we had so many impressions during that trip. ..Landscapes, animals, people... The Mokoro-Trip was a highlight for me, the animals sightings as well. We saw lots of elephants (even one desert elephant), buffaloes, crocodiles, hippos, rhinos, springboks, eagles, giraffes...but unfortunately only one cat (a lioness). It can’t be helped. But we would have loved to see a pride of lions, or a leopard, or even a cheetah. Maybe next time we are luckier, I think we will be travelling with you again soon! The Namib-desert was wonderful, too. And I also liked Damaraland and the rock paintings and Brandberg very much.
The accomodation in Cape Town was sensational. Beautifully situated, everybody was friendly, great breakfasts and it was absolutely clean. It was a great finish to our trip. Unfortunately only for just for two days, but anyway...
That is also a place where we have to came back to! Thank you very much again for your kind advice and nice emails. Kind regards from cold Bavaria"

Ray Neuman - travelled to Cape Town and Victoria Falls (September 2008)
"The small group and ur guide made the safari excellent. We enjoyed every day and Gecko Bush Camp at the end of the trip was a very pleasant surprise. We saw all what we wanted and more!!! Thank you!"

Bert Alberts - travelled to Botswana (September 2008)
Here is just a short message from us.We are back home since yesterday, and had a good journey back home.Our holiday was perfectly organized, we had a nice group and Thomas is really an excellent guide and driver. Believe me we had many guides and drivers during other trips, but Thomas is certainly one of the best.It seems Jenman is a well respected and known organization in the Africa region. Thanks for helping us out on the ticket issue. Thomas asked us during the trip to write down our flights so that he could reconfirm the bookings. When writing down the dates I found out that the flight from Livingstone to Jo’burg was booked one day too late. How it is possible I haven’t found this out earlier I really don’t know, I think I checked the tickets many times but overlooked the date. So many thanks for changing the date.

Pop Minnaar - travelled to Madagascar (September 2008)
This was an experience of a lifetime. Everything was well organized. We had a delay of 2 hours at O R Tambo. From there on everything went smoothly. We are considering another trip to the eastern part of Madagascar.
At the moment we plan to go to Botswana next year and there after to Malawi. Last year we went on a 5 week safari through Botswana, Zambia, Tanzania, Malawi and Mozambique. There are always places we want to explore again. We bought land in Mozambique and plan to move there permanently.
But, thank you again for this fantastic experience. We will definitely contact you again for another trip.

Carolina Castellanos - travelled to Cape Town & Victoria Falls (August 2008)
“ My daughter and I recently completed a 21 day trip from Cape Town to Victoria Falls with Jenman African Safaris. It was an amazing and beautiful experience that exceeded all of our expectations and cannot be easily described. Our 8 travel companions were fantastic, there was not one day when we did not laugh and truly enjoyed ourselves, and we are already making plans for future travel with these newly made friends. Everything was extremely well organized and things went as planned along our long route, with great selection of campsites and lodges and delicious meals that one could not have imagined could be prepared by a campfire. Of course, having a great guide is what made a difference. Mike is extremely knowledgeable and has a love for the area that is contagious. Thumbs up for Jenman, for keeping their groups small, for a well-planned route, for carefully selected sites, and for all the people who work there. Working with them was a pleasure, they were extremely helpful from the minute we started planning our trip, with all our questions, getting birthday’s organized and all their extraordinary efforts in helping us with visas, logistics, etc. We would highly recommend them”
"I just wanted to write to thank you for all your hard work and dedication in setting up our trip to southern Africa. We are particularly grateful for all you did to get us our second visas for Namibia, I can just imagine how time consuming it must have been. Our trip was an amazing and truly enjoyable experience, with a fantastic group of people, and things went as planned with only a few, non important glitches….but it would not have been Africa had we not had those. Please thank everybody at Jenman for us, we would highly recommend you to all our friends who plan to visit Africa."

Per Joachim Hoisaet (Agent) - Clients travelled to Africa (July & August 2008)
"I have heard from the clients: Mr and Mrs Nielsen - July - They experienced some trouble with lost luggage in Lusaka and cancelled flight on the way back so they spend an extra night in Lusaka at Holiday Inn. None of this is our fault and they really appreciated all of our arrangements.
Transfers were punctual, correct vehicles etc. He even tried a heliflight over the Victoria Falls. Chobe Safari Lodge was the most perfect place and very beautiful.  
Mr and Mrs Sietam - august - everything worked out fine - transfers were punctual and professional and only one thing went a bit wrong. They had to stay at the Kapama River Lodge but switched to the Kapama Buffalo since they were very disappointed and felt the River Lodge was in a city (?) and a building site. I have been in the area many times but never visited Kapama River Lodge and I am therefore not sure how things look there except from the website which is very beautiful. However the staff were very very professional and moved them right away to another lodge and thereafter they had no complaints at all. They were very enthusiastic for all the arrangements and experiences they had."

Agnese Pana - travelled to Botswana (July 2008)
"The tour I have recently taken part in was absolutely stunning:
rich in emotions, colours and sounds which are still in my heart.
A special thank to Amina, who saved my life by promptly warning me
the carrier I booked the flight with (by my own), went bankrupt in the meatime, and to Chantel, whose superb "lasagne" I will never forget..."
"The trip was fantastic, and I enjoyed a lot every single aspect of it:
the nature, the people, the organization, everything was up to my
(huge) expectations. Everything you had arranged for me (transfers, hotel bookings, ect) was perfectly in order and run very smoothly. I wrote down some very positive comments on the form I was given at the end of the tour, about Jenman Safaris, with a special mention to you, and the excellent support you provided me with."

Paul (Agent) - Client travelled to Namibia (July 2008)
"The Voogt Family is back in Holland for some time now. I spoke with them by phone the day after they arrived back. They loved the trip and the guide. I wanna thank you for everything you did to make this trip to what it was. And please also thank the guide. It was a pleasure to work on this trip together. Kind regards"

Stefanie Ilg - travelled to Swakopmund and Victoria Falls (July 2008)
Thanks for your mail. Indeed the trip was wonderful. It was a great experience and I don't want to miss it. Our guide was a good guy, a good driver and cook and it was fun with him. The White Lady wasn't so impressive so therefore you could skip that one in this tour and therefore spend more time in the Okawango Delta or at the Chobe river in order to see more wildlife. But that's just my opinion. Perhaps others like the white lady. All camping sites and lodges have been good. So no reason to change something there. I enjoyed travelling in a small group. We often saw busses with big groups and I was really happy not to belong to such a group. So keep on offering travels in small groups please. (…) Thanks again for your help! All the best

Kevin Pazaski - travelled to Botswana (July 2008)
"Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I was traveling last week! We had a fantastic time on the safari.  No major issues, nobody got sick, hurt, etc.  Gerard did a great job as our guide.  Very knowledgeable about the area, animals, local customs.  In addition, a great cook. (…)We wanted to add that all the places we stayed were amazing.  From the en suite tents and chalets, each well maintained and very clean.  Great choices!!Again thank you for your help and please contact me if you have questions.Best regards"

Frank Gaffney - travelled to Botswana (June 2008)
I am once more amazed, neigh, gob smacked by the depth and breath of your knowledge and the speed of your reply. I want you to stand up NOW and take a bow...oh go on, just do it! You can say it's for a mad Irishman. And you have my full permission to show this e-mail to your boss and tell him I think you deserve a very large raise in pay or at least very large bonus. (just as soon as your cheque arrives!)
Seriously (if it's possible), thank you so much for your prompt attention to my numerous queries, and I am going to throw in one more little one. We are rather curious to know who our fellow travelers will be. If you could possibly let us know the age profiles and perhaps the nationalities of our new friends we would be grateful. It's not really important, we are just curious. Last year we were on tour with Drifters in South Africa for three weeks with a group of eight people including us and we all got on very well with absolutely no friction at all. So naturally we were wondering about this year.

Doris & Erik Frey - travelled to Botswana (June 2008)
"The Jenman Safari through Botswana was really great. We really liked the itinerary and also the chosen accommodation. Our wish to find out more about Botswana’s wildlife came true in the different National Parks – especially the boat cruise on the Chobe River was excellent.
Many greetings from Vienne"

Gail George - travelled to Botswana (June 2008)
"We are back and well. We had a fabulous and interesting trip. Then on to the Jenman Safari. What a great experience. I thought the accommodations exceeded our expectations. We have about 1200 pictures and saw some amazing animals, scenery and people. I would highly recommend this trip for the price. Or guide was great (Mike Miles). I sang your praises to al. Your trip planning was excellent and all our connections went well. It is a challenge to get the currency situation planned for and get clear info regarding visas but we made it all work. Thank you again for helping us make this a trip of a life time."

Jenny - travelled to South Africa (May 2008)
"I just wanted to say thank you for a fantastic time in South Africa, just wished I had more time as the place was amazing. It has given me a really good insight into the way you operate at Jenman and I have to say I was very impressed by the level of service we received. It was great to see all the different style of accommodation you can create and the knowledge of Chantal out guide who was brilliant at explaining everything with so much passion. I will miss her bush talk greatly. I will defiantly be recommending Jenmans to all our clients as I no they will be receiving the best service and will come back as touched by the experience as I was. It has also given me a passion of Africa to pass on to our clients also now knowing the way it is run gives me the chance to pass all styles on to my client and creating the best option for them. I am now feeling very refreshed and ready sell sell sell!  
Thanks again for a fantastic experience. I will look forward to working closely with Jenman in the future. Keep up the good work."

Elken Schneider - travelled to Botswana (May 2008)
"Many thanks for your email and checking if our safari went alright.Our safari with Chantal was really great, including the accommodation and the tented camps – a really good choice. But of course the most amazing thing was the wildlife – we even saw lions!! Please can you tell me what other trips Chantal is doing in September and October? I would like to travel with her again."

Andreas Batlogg - travelled to Botswana (May 2008)
"As a 'West-Austrian', I´m normally not used to go into superlatives.
But this trip is really a highlight in our life. Not low budget, but worth every single cent!
From the arrangements, the accommodation, the equipment, to the guide
(Todd, you are the best!) there is only one word, perfect. We also were very lucky with our companions, nice people from Australia,
US and GB. After a short time, talking in English, was not the problem.
Prior to the trip, we thought the long driving could be demanding, it
was so easy. There was so much to see during the day, not boring at all, impressions all the time.
We got so many informations from Todd about the country, nature and culture.
He brought us together with the local people in a wonderful manner.
So much and beautiful impressions, unforgettable!
Another “input” were the excellent meals, he prepared for us.
A real magician in his bush kitchen. All in all we come back, to Africa and to Jenman."
"Thanks again. From 2nd to 18th April 2008 we had the pleasure to travel through Botswana with Jenman Safaris and your (our) guide Todd Mentz.
It was a such wonderful experience and we would say thanks for that.
The journey and esp. the arrangements were perfect.
As Todd told us, Wiebke Priilaid was mainly responsible for that.
Hey, Wiebke, you did a brilliant job! Thanks for that, very much, too. Within the next two years, we plan to travel to Madagascar and Jenman will be our favorite for that."

Maxime Adams - travelled to Botswana (May 2008)
"Firstly may I say a huge thank you for the opportunity to have travelled on our recent trip with Hennie. After the day 3, I had run out of adjectives to explain the day/trip/adventure. The group had such a great time, I have come away with yet more wonderful memories of Africa along with some new friends from all over the world.
Our days were just perfect; to start with hot water boiling when we arrived at the campsite for breakfast to wonderfully cooked meals in the evening (better than a lot of restaurants I have been to)
We established such a great rapport amongst the group, from washing dishes, to pushing the vehicle out of water/sand.
Now for the countries, Zambia great with Victoria Falls and our cruise on the Zambezi
Botswana is magic, the landscape/people/animals and the birds were superb (to say the least)
Namibia – enough for me now to know I want to go back and explore even more of this country.
Again thank you so much, i look forward to being able to continue to sell your product here in Australia."
 

Kathrin - travelled to Botswana (May 2008)
"This journey was absolutely incredible and the country really beautiful. It was a lot of traveling but therefore we really saw a lot. Unfortunately we were not that lucky when Game viewing but the landscape alone made up for it. I imaged the Okavango Delta to be totally different. Also the Nxai Pans were breathtaking and Hennie of course is an excellent guide (...)
I am already thinking about where to go next year"

Steffi Nagel- travelled to South Africa (May 2008)
Many thanks that I was allowed to join you on this safari. Everything worked very well and we’ve had a great time. Chantal is a really great guide and she took care of us very well.
I already knew the vehicle and the tents, however, I really like that you now use the bigger tents. Even me with my height, have no problems standing upright in the tent. The new vehicle with the pop-up roof is amazing (…)Otherwise the equipment of your tours is really great – nothing negative to comment, everything top quality and working. 
The itinerary as well was really great. A good mix of all sorts of accommodation; from simple camping to private lodges – that gave us a good insight about the standard of accommodation you offer

Elke - travelled to Botswana (May 2008)
"On the 14th May 2008 we started our 14-day Botswana Safari – a journey for the soul. The organization of Jenman Safaris before the trip didn’t leave any questions open. Hennie, our guide, made this journey 100% enjoyable. His knowledge about Flora and Faune, his ability to be flexible, also in adventurous situations, and of course is excellent cooking abilities made this trip to one of the best safaris, I have ever done in Africa.
The group size, the good value for money, excellent campsites and responsible actions of all travelers Jenman African Safaris makes Jenman Safaris a great example for the industry."

Eva Cuervas Boada - travelled to Madagascar (April 2008)
"Simply fantastic. I have enjoyed both, the country and your organization, beautiful beaches at north with incredible seafloor. You don't know how many photos of turtles, fishes, corals... I have done...And, obviously, one thousand lemurs too... 
On the other hand, the trip company, that as always, is a very important part to get that the people enjoy the trip. Patty is a lovely person, she has got to join everybody that was on the trip. And for this reason we have learned Jenman Safaris organization, we have rested and we have laughed a lot, all in accurate measure.  
Thank you very much for the opportunity of joining your fam trip and to know a little bit the big Madagascar."

Ronan Rahanan - travelled to South Africa (April 2008)
"I thought I'd drop you a short note to thank you for organising the trip. We had a fantastic experience: the organisation was excellent, the weather was perfect and we saw all the animals we could have expected to see. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jenman to anyone who asks about and African Safari. I'm already looking forward to my next adventure!! Thank you also for the birthday cake and bottle of champagne: it was much appreciated :)"
Ronan went on our Kruger Walking Safari.

Jody - travelled to Cape Town & Namibia (March 2008)
"Thanks for your e-mail. My mum and I were very happy with the safari Jenman gave us. It really was everything we had hoped for!
I'm attaching a few photos for you, I couldn't choose just one!
I love the wildlife and so I was happy to get a nice photo of a zebra. The lion was a nice find. We heard him roaring all night while we were in Etosha so we got up extra early and were rewarded with this sight.
A new experience for me was the Himba village. The children are so beautiful and friendly; they were so willing to climb all over me!
The shot of the sunrise was taken in the Okavango Delta- a peaceful place!"

Walter Friesen - travelled to Tanzania (February 2008)
We have now returned from our safari and I wanted to personally and
directly thank you for the work you all did to make this safari possible
for us. Our experience was very good and all the services were carried out
without any problems or difficulties at all during the safari.  Your
service was excellent and you would certainly be given our vote of
confidence for any such safari to be done in the area.  Great continuity of
service, a very knowledgeable driver guide and above all it was possible to
see the animals and make some great long lasting photos of the whole trip.
The visit to the Rifiji River camp was also an interesting and adventurous
experience. It was enjoyed for its closeness to the nature in the area, the
boat trips with the many birds, hippos and other water life, and the land
tours of the area.  This is a special place and hopefully it and its
program will continue, as it is, to let more people see this natural setting.
A job well done;
Walter Friesen & friends went on the Northern and Southern Tanzania Safari

Ingrida Ludzina- travelled to South Africa (February 2008)
"The trip was really great. Now I am in love with AFRICA. Thank you very much for all that you did. I had a present for you, but as I didn’t see you I decided to send it to you by post :) I have too many emotions that I just can not explain now. I really, really enjoyed everything to the fullest." Ingrida first travelled to the Victoria Falls for a few days and then on a World in one Country Safari, ending in Cape Town.

Jean-Claude and Josiane Fusat- travelled to South Africa (February 2008)
"This mail is just to thank you one more time for the trip you organized for us.
Everything was so nice, hotels and guest houses also nice, CapeTown, Franschhoek, Vic Falls, and Kruger Park, ''super of super'', the people were also nice. One comment, Blyde River Canyon, little bit disappointing. We are also disappointed to not have seen you.So, our vacation was amazing, a visit to recommend. Thanks again.Hope we'll re-contact you for another trip."

Kathrina- travelled to South Africa (January 2008)
In January 2008 my son and me were in Kruger National Park. We visited two different areas: Olifant Restcamp und Sabie Restcamp. We spent 5 unforgettable days! We totally could concentrate to explore the park with all it’s wildlife and breathtaking scenery. The organisation of our trip was really excellent – everything went so well.

Tailormade Tour - travelled to Southern Africa (November 2007)
"Marius has been the perfect guide and driver and very comfortable to be with. Most helpful and knowledgeable of each area each day. We have thoroughly enjoyed his company and the choice of Guest Houses each evening. We have made good times every day and are so pleased we chose Jenman Safaris. I echo the sentiments experienced above about Marius. His driving has been excellent and he has been prepared to be flexible when required. He has been able to adapt to the vagaries and clientele. The tour itself had been very great. There has been variety in accommodation and activity. Overall, I am completely satisfied with the value for money presented in this tour and would recommend it to others. We endorse the sentiments stated above. In particular we appreciated the lengths that Marius went to ensure that we saw as much as possible and that all our need were met."

Mrs & Mr Timbavati - travelled to Southern Africa (November 2007)
"We had a wonderful trip and have to admit that we were positively surprised. “Why is that?” you will probably ask.South Africa is beautiful, the weather is great and winter time is just as ideal as summer time in order to see game. No one can deny that. And those are already great conditions. Surely it helped that our group only consisted of 8 persons. Of course this can result in a problem if people don’t get along with each other. But we were lucky enough – as different as we all were - to all hit it off quite well and we had a great time together. What we, as a family with 3 children between 7 and 13, really liked was the Timbavati Camp. We felt catered for perfectly. This was due to the camp- management- team, particularly the managers Peter and Rob. They took care of us for the entire time in a very polite way. And they fulfilled all our wishes, children’s as well as adults’. We can highly recommend to spend 2 weeks there. Peter and Rob don’t have any problems to arrange the programme according to everyone’s desires. We had time- outs when we wanted and we were never bored. We really enjoyed the two weeks at that location. You can really dive into it instead of just having the country movie-like pass you (which also has its charm).You can really feel a touch of “here and now in Africa”.
We went on Bushwalks in KNP, had surprise- sundowners and went on horse rides in the neighbouring reserve. Also the accommodation was nice, I think. Everything was a bit rustic and not the very latest, but it all worked. In other words: the luxury was little enough, so you could really get a feeling of wilderness (including Warthogs in front of our door and a Leopard in the camp once) without having it bother you. In my opinion the Timbavati- Camp is a real undiscovered hideaway and I can highly recommend it.
That’s not all: everything wouldn’t have worked out as perfectly, if we hadn’t had Jasmin as our guide. She is a guide like I have never met one before. She didn’t only see it as a job but also as a pleasure for herself. She has an incredible amount of knowledge about South Africa and backgrounds (animals, country and people) and also impart her knowledge to the children in a great manner. Actually, in the end she seemed to be one of us and not like a guide doing his/her job. Especially at the end of our trip, when I got to Cape Town, we had to realize that – when we had a guide from a local tour company – they were as different as day and night. Once again back to the Timbavati: our night drives and excursions in the Kruger National Park were guided by a local ranger (Martin), who has worked there for 15 years. What he tracked down during the morning drives in the open vehicle (it was chilly, once we had 3 degrees) during those two weeks was amazing! We could regularly compare that to the experiences of the other guests (who usually were only there for 3 or 4 days) and our guide absolutely outshone all the others. We didn’t only get to see the Big 5 but also other animals like birds, snakes and once a cheetah family, which lay on the gravel, before they started their hunt in front of our eyes. On the last day he tracked down one of the “new” magnificent 14 elephants, which he apparently hadn’t seen before himself.
Conclusion: Timbavati with Peter/Rob absolutely extraordinary, it couldn’t get better than Jasmin and the ranger Martin was just the cheery on top."
 
 

Dagi and Everett - travelled to Southern Africa (November 2007)
"Just a note before the excitement wears down. We had an incredible adventure on the trip through Southern Africa. We covered a lot of kilometers but we experienced so much variety. Just when we had a very long hot day in the vehicle, the lodge at the end of the day was delightful. The lodge staff was always very accommodating. The trip crisscrossing the countries gave us a lot of insight to how people live, what the countryside looks like, wild animals on the side of the road as we see cattle at home. The vehicle was comfortable. Our fondest memory is the day with the Bushmen and Arno � the hunt, the lessons on survival and the night around their campfire. Another day there would have given us an opportunity to learn more about their lives and maybe learn their craft. Our Himba experience was equally as amazing. It was like putting ourselves into the pictures in National Geographic. The occasional days on the water made the dry hot days more tolerable. Our best game drive was the trip between Moremi Park and Chobe along the river. We saw everything in its natural daily activity. Sure we would have liked to stay at Etosha Park longer so that we could spend more time at the water holes and maybe another day or two on the coast at Swakopmund but we had an amazing journey. Our quest on a holiday is to learn something and we learned a lot. Rick was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and very respectful of their space and yet he gave us all equal opportunity to see and photograph for as long as we wanted. We went on an elephant ride at Thornbush Lodge the day before we left on Safari and would recommend that to be part of the trip. Another thought would be to add a little more shopping time for us women folk � we have to look at a lot of things before we can decide what to bring home � we could have learned a little more about what their talents are and what they do � a little more culture, a little more music to make a complete picture.
Our time in Soweto after the Safari was good. The whole history of that area is overwhelming. We want to thank you for an adventure that was bigger than the words on the page that described it in the brochure. If you weren�t so far away, and the costs so great, we would be back tomorrow to learn and see more of Africa."

Michael/Jilly Watson - travelled to Botswana, Namibia and Zambia (October 2007) 
"I keep thinking about our great trip to Africa last year. And it’s now exactly one year since we set off from Livingstone. Here are a couple of pictures from this day last year. If I remain motivated, I’ll send a new picture every day or so, as a reminder of where we were a year ago. " To read more about this comment visit our blog.

Hasan Sharif and Kamillah Males travelled to Cape Town & Victoria Falls(September 2007)
"We really enjoyed our honeymoon in Cape Town and Victoria falls thanks to Hilka at Jenman Safaris. Not only was Hilka extremely helpful with planning considerations, but also available throughout our entire trip for on the spot questions and additional advice. We'll definitely look to book with Hilka and Jenman again in the future."

Catherine Kensier - travelled to South Africa (August 2007)
"It is now more than 2 weeks I have to send you this e-mail, but we were so busy here in our travel agency...The family Michiels has came back from South Africa totally enchanting with its travel. Everything was perfect, accomodations, organisation, sites and parks they have visited,... So I would like to really thank you for your collaboration! And I really hope I will come back soon to you with a new request."

Aki Raula - travelled to Africa (August 2007)
"We definitely had a great time in the Safari and have been doing well. Hennie was very informative a guide and a relaxed guy - I can highly recommend him. I'm also happy we saw the leopard(s) - too bad we missed the cheeta. We will definitely consider you first if we are to come back to Africa
on a safari."

Kathie Yoewell - travelled to Zimbabwe (August 2007)
"I've just got back from the best trip I've ever had to Southern Africa and just have to mail and thank you for all the organization that you did for me at such short notice. Everything ran like clockwork once I managed to get to Africa.....in fact the only thing that went wrong was my end and I managed to miss my flight to Jo'burg because the underground was suspended! However, I managed to transfer onto the late SAA flight and just managed to catch the flight to Livingstone, so it wasn't too serious. The Lion Encounter in Zimbabwe was amazing and so worth the 55 dollars visa fee. It went like clockwork and stroking lions in the wild was such a brilliant start to the tour. The safari itself was incredible and Hennie was simply terrific....great fun, great cook and soknowledgeable about his subject. I've been to Southern Africa several times previously but this was by far the best experience yet. So thanks again for all your hard work in organizing my late booking. I'm already planning a tailor-made trip with some friends for hopefully next year and we will certainly be using Jenman once we've sorted ourselves out about destinations and dates."

Matteo Messa - travelled to South Africa (August 2007)
"Even for people like us,used to organize holidays by ourselves, your support and organization was very important: even just per mail and from 10.000 km far away! You helped us to enjoy great days and unique places."

Bobbi & Garnet Marshall - travelled to Botswana (August 2007)
"Just a note to thank you for making the arrangements for our trip to Botswana and particularly for the stays at Nata Lodge, Toro Camping site and Camp Kwando. The accommodation and meals at Nata were excellent, and it was a very restful break after the initial long drive from Jhb. If we were to do it again, I would probably book the afternoon excursion to the bird sanctuary rather than the morning one in winter as it was really too cold to be travelling in an open vehicle. However the site of thousands of colourful Flamingos in that desolate landscape was worth the chill! The Toro camp site near Chobe had individual ablution facilities for each site and plenty of hot water. The game drive and sunset cruise which you booked for us were really worth while and we were unbelievably fortunate to see leopard with its kill which it had dragged up into a tree. By far the best service we received was at Camp Kwando. We had run very low on petrol, not realising how unreliable supplies were, and Romana arranged to collect 20 litres of fuel for us on a trip to Katima Mulilo which meant that we wouldn't have to wait 3 or 4 days for the local garage to receive supplies. As we had to delay our journey by an extra day, she was kind enough to allow us to keep our accommodation even though they were almost fully booked. Furthermore,our first choice had been to camp there but as their campsite was already fully booked, they allowed us to do our own cooking in the campsite while our accommodation was in the tented chalets - the best of both worlds!We had one dinner and one breakfast in the Camp Kwando restaurant. The dinner was excellent and so well presented by Lester, the chef. We were very impressed. Eli Nel was our guide on the sunset cruise and not only was he very knowledgable about the birds, but he went out of his way togivethe advicewe needed with routes into the Madumo Reserve which would be suitable for our 4x2 vehicle and offered to come to our assistance if we should find ourselves sand-bound. The camp site was grassed, well-shaded by trees and very well maintained, the pool was sparkling and I understand that they are planning to erect more ablution facilities. Thereafter, we were on our own as far as finding accommodation was concerned, which made us very aware of the value of having someone knowledgable to to advise on bookings! (…).We spent our last night at Kwa Nokeng which is at Martins Drift on the Bots/SA border. It was a delightful surprise to find such an oasis at that busy intersection. Although the noise of the traffic at the border could be heard, the two-bedroom chalet (which was very well appointed) looked onto the Limpopo and,while we were not lucky enough to see the hippos which frequent that part of the river, we did see a troop of baboons, four buck which sauntered practically past our door, mongooses and countless fantastic birds. I thought I should just mention the Popa Falls Campsite where we stopped for lunch one day. It has to be the cleanest and best-appointed campsite we have ever seen. "Falls" is probably a misnomer as it is really just a stream running over rocks, but the setting is very appealling, they havemade themost of it without spoiling itand we found the standard of management exemplary. Thanks once agin for all your help in arranging a trip which we have been looking forward to for years and which we enjoyed enormously. Hope that this feedback may be of some use to you."

Shelley Conrad - travelled to Africa (July 2007)
"The Great Trans African Lodge Safari was the perfect itinerary for my trip to Africa, blending cultural and wildlife experiences in a variety of habitats. Whether it was clapping my hands with young children at church or getting my face painted by the Himba, I felt connected with the people I encountered throughout my 22 day expedition. Not only that – the sheer number of birds, animals and critters, took my breath away (literally). Lizards aren’t supposed to be in the sink!Who could forget the bull elephant taking a mud bath just steps from our open vehicle (who knew a big head could fit in such a tiny hole) or the zebra who couldn’t stop posing for us? Radio Botswana came through for us; alas, he couldn’t reach the elusive leopard. I had a mental picture of what I find in Africa before I arrived and I was overjoyed to see it come to fruition. I hope to visit you again some day."

Kriszti and Denes - travelled to Botswana (July 2007)
"We arrived safely home after our safari. It was fantastic. We had a very good time! We enjoyed every minute, even if the nights were really chilly! We liked our itineraries, thank you for your suggestion. We enjoyed the car which was perfectly equipped, and spacious! And we definitely liked Warren, he is a wonderful guy, was prepared for everything and cooked amazing foods! The best was the bobotjie! We learned as well a little bit of a bushman language! We already suggested your company for some tourist, as we were satisfied with your service!"

Nigel Rowe - travelled to Botswana, Zambia & Namibia (July 2007)
"I have recently arrived back home after a Jenman safari to Botswana Zambia & Namibia and would just like to say how perfect everything was from the patience of Rebecca helping me to arrange everything to the fantastic Blessed our guide who made sure everything went to plan. Thank you all once again & I would highly recommend Jenman Safari to any one wanting to go on safari."

Bettina Pleines-Kamm - travelled to Zambia (July 2007)
"We returned home healthy and full of amazing impressions and pictures. In general I have to say that the tour exceeded our high expectations very much. Thanks for your organisation. Everything was absolutely brilliant, even the pick-up and transfers. (... writing about visa issue in Zambia and not being able to be accommodated in the Waterfront) The tour was just exceptional. And the good, qualified and nice guide Jan Mecklenburg - he was just ideal: he managed his sometimes complicated tasks without any problem and always friendly!! We know what we'll do different next time. We weren't prepared for the African winter, we actually were quite surprised how cold Africa can be. Often the temperatures dropped below 0, the water pipes were frozen so that we couldn't take a warm shower and it is quite a special experience to have to defrost your water to be able to was dishes. One should pack a warm pyjama, thermal underwear and two warm fleece jackets. Very necessary are good shoes, one doesn't need pretty shoes or skirts and dresses as the lodges are very relaxed. And one can still stick to the limit of 12 kg. The lodges were all very comfortable and nice - very good choice! Before the trip one should buy an adapter to be able to recharge batteries as the international adapters one can get here in Germany are useless. One should also try not to take Traveller Cheques as it takes up a lot of time to exchange them. USD (not Euro) are much less complicated and can be exchange everywhere.Otherwise a big thank you to your partners Jenman Safaris, I would travel with them straight away again: the small groups, the itinerary, everything was perfect!
Conclusion:everything was brilliant, we are thanking you for the great organisation and are definitely going to travel to Africa with you again. And of course we will also happily recommend you. Many thanks and all the best."

Tamara Born - travelled to Zambia (July 2007)
"This holiday was a dream. We had a great group and our guide, Jan Mecklenburg, was really fantastic. The organisation was excellent Jan managed everything perfectly. We were all very impressed."

Gerald E. Weber - travelled to South Africa (July 2007)
"I wanted to drop you a note to tell you how much we appreciated the work done by Riaan during our 14 day trip. His overall work on this trip can only be described as exceptional. He's an excellent driver, a good cook, helpful and one of the nicest young men that I've met over the past 35 years, during which I was teaching at the University level. He was continually cheerful, easy to talk to and work with. He continually operated as a "real" professional tour guide and driver. Over the past 35 years I have taught field geology at UCSC for 20 + years and led scores of other field trips. I've had the opportunity to work with and hire numerous drivers, tour guides, field trip guides, cooks, etc. over this time period. I only wish that during those times I had been able to find someone as competent and reliable as Riaan. This guy is a real jewel - you are lucky to have him! Based on my experience with Jenman Safaris, I would recommend your company to anyone looking for a south African company to organize a trip and/or safari. Thanks for your contribution to a great experience."

Barbara Burgess - travelled to Africa & Madagascar (June 2007)
"Finally made it home after three months in Africa and Madagascar. Really hard to settle back in to a routine here. Had a fantastic time, so many experiences of which Madagascar was one of the highlights. Had a thoroughly good time there - the itinerary was great and well balanced. The local staffs were very helpful and friendly and the driver/guide was excellent. Would recommend the trip to anyone. I was very pleased. Thank you for your help organising the trip for me and all the emails etc we had to exchange - it was worth it. Best wishes!" 
 

Diana Wild - travelled to Botswana (June 2007)
"On Wednesday I returned from Botswana and still I am filled with the impressions gained during the trip. The beauty of the diverse landscapes, our experiences in general and the inner peace this country has conveyed are overwhelming! It appears that it is merely my body sitting in front of the computer, while my soul still wanders in Africa! As you will gather, I enjoyed it immensely and again would like to express my thanks for this trip! Jenman Safaris offers a very good product which absolutely matches its price-tag and the form of travel, which is a little different to the norm, comes with its very own appeal. It might not be everyone's cup of tea to be unable to dine at a restaurant, to camp and to assist with kitchen-work, but those clients that let themselves in for it, are rewarded with a very special group experience and much more intense tour-impressions. I really liked the choice of lodges. The course of the trip was coupled with a few hurdles. Car trouble entailed us having to push and shovel on one day – but this merely added extra spice to an extraordinary day. The vehicles are super – enough space and quite comfortable! The “rotating system” enabled everyone to occupy the front seats, which were in great demand. Hennie is a very good driver (respect!) and he was always friendly and helpful, as a guide. He handled every problem with efficiency and always maintained a good overview, no matter what challenges arose. Plus, he can cook… a big praise goes in his direction! All in all a very successful trip – Next year I would love to go on tour with you again. As for my clients, I have now discovered a very good alternative product to offer, when wanting to divert from ordinary bus tours. I will gladly recommend you! That’s all for now…"

Melissa Wattam - travelled to South Africa (May 2007)
"It's Melissa Roberts who you sent on safari with Kruger Park Safaris & Siyabona Africa to Kruger Park on May 5-8th. I wanted to write to say how much we enjoyed the trip. It was truely awesome! We were so impressed by the team on site & especially enjoyed driving around Kruger - and the bungalow that you organised was the icing on the cake! So thanks very much for organising us a very memorable trip. I did want to ask one favour: I seem to have lost the memory card from our camera. I remember taking a few pictures as we were leaving the campsite at Pretoriuskop & also remember dropping my camera just after. I wonder if the chip fell out there or in the van that George the driver used to transfer us to the White River base? Would it be possible for you to check with the folks at Siyabona to see if one was found? I would appreciate it very much. We have wonderful memories of the trip, ut no photos now unfortunately... Thanks again for everything!"
 

Harry & Marian Hall - travelled to South Africa (April 2007)
"Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our trip and really liked Johan. He was very knowledgeable and also a great cook. We really learned a lot about the people and the land. It was a real eye opener. We would have no trouble in recommending Jenman to anyone."

Alan Bell -travelled to Aquilla and Inverdoorn (March 2007)
"Just a brief note to thank you so much for my safaris this week to Aquilla and Inverdoorn. I think that both Aquilla and Inverdoorn had good points in their favour. Inverdoorn was larger and had more animals but I think I preferred Aquilla. I was able to get closer to the animals, the food and facilities were better, and they had a natural water source (with hippo in residence). I really enjoyed them and appreciated the efficiency of everything associated with the booking and going on the trips. Please pass my thanks to all concerned. If I ever get to Cape Town again, your website will be my first port of call..."

Terry Thormin - travelled to Africa (March 2007)
"This was my first trip to Africa, and the one place in the world I most wanted to get to. It was an incredible trip, in many ways exceeding my expectations, and I certainly look forward to getting back to Africa in the near future. Thank you Jenman for a great trip!"

Emmanuel & Mariana Lopez - travelled to South Africa and Victoria Falls (February 2007)
"Everything went great!! We had a terrific time. All transfers, hotels, etc.. that you arranged were on time and met our expectations. Particularly, we loved Vic Falls... I'ts a lovely place to holiday!! The hotel there was beautiful... quite "african style" yet very clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and the location was superb (right next to the mighty Zambezi).. We even had a cute warthog family wandering in the hotel's gardens while we were having breakfast... quite memorable!! I strongly recomend the rafting activities in the lower Zambezi and doing some canoeing in the upper end... If you don't mind the occasional hippo or crocodile of course! Kruger NP was also very enjoyable... we wish we would have stayed longer... we couldn't see any lion!! Anyway, we understand it's a matter of luck, and it gives us a good excuse to come again! I hope that my feedback helps other travellers to be encouraged to further explore southern Africa, particularly with your wise guidance!! Thanks a lot again!!!!"

Udo & Katja Schlenz - travelled to South Africa (January 2007)
"Why should you travel with Jenman? Excellent organisation; good equipment; the guide was brilliant: very professional and dedicated; good campsites and business partners!"

Diana & Achim Graesser - travelled to South Africa (September 2006)
"You organized our honeymoon trip to South Africa for us and we just wanted to let you know that we had an absolutely wonderful time and were really overwhelmed by the beauty of this country. Chilli Pepper Lodge, Mpumalanga: This was just great. Beautiful surroundings, very good food, wonderful clean and comfortable rooms and the hosts were extraordinarily nice and made us feel like home. I was ill and they were really of great help to us and when we went to Kruger Park I forgot to charge my camera, so Chris (the host) came driving to the gate of the park bringing me my battery charger, so this was really really great. I think that they also upgraded our room to a suite. We do absolutely recommend this place for further bookings!! Thanks a lot for making our honeymoon such a special trip which we will never forget."

Steven, Jann & Ginger Merry - travelled to Livingstone (August 2006)
"LOVED the tented lodges; the hosts at Taita Falcoln Lodge in Livingstone made the stay very special; Elephant Valley Lodge - loved the view and the animals round the lodge; the arrival at Mboma Island with the lit lanterns was wonderful. This trip gets a 5 out of 5!"

Anton & Jenny van Blerck - travelled to Botswana (July 2006)
"We LOVED Chobe Safari lodge and everything it (and Botswana) had to offer. What a fantastic place with awesome hospitality, food, service and game viewing. BRILLIANT! Thanks again for everything, we had an awesome time!! Well done to you and the Jenman team."

Robert & Gudrun Kossler - travelled to Namibia (June 2006)
"We are back at home now and I'm glad for using Jenman Safaris. It was a wonderful trip with a super-guide. Thank you for preparing this tour and I`m sure, we'll come back to Africa and Jenman Safaris."

Louis and Pieter - travelled to Victoria Falls (June 2006)
"We realised a week before our departure that we completely forgot to arrange any activities for our stay in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. A web search led us to Jenman Safaris, and Rebecca. In spite of the very short notice, and our long list of do's and don'ts, Rebecca did a sterling job, even working after hours in order to get everything confirmed before we left. On her recommendation we did the Lion Encounter, facilitated by Safari Par Excellence, which turned out to be a once in a lifetime experience, and the highlight of our trip. Rebecca truly went the extra mile in ensuring that our week-long engagement celebration was really special, and Jenman Safaris will surely be our first agent of choice in future!"

Marie Egan - travelled to South Africa (June 2006)
"You beat me to it....I was going to e-mail you today to say I had a brilliant time on the safari. I really enjoyed the whole trip; it totally lived up to my expectations. Meeting Debbie was brilliant, she is such a lovely lady....I can't say enough about Cyrintha, a fantastic guide, she made the trip so enjoyable. I've just finished the wine tour day trip too and went on the Cape Point one the other day....both again were fun. We saw so much wildlife it was amazing. Thanks again for everything - I'll definitely tell everyone what a wonderful trip and company you are and hopefully I'll be back next year for the South Africa tour."

Kevin Hunstman - travelled to Swaziland (May 2006)
"Thanks for setting up such a wonderful trip, Candice. Our trip was amazing. It absolutely exceeded our expectations. We thoroughly enjoyed the scenery of the Blyde River Canyon area. The Tangala lodge, in particular, was the highlight of the trip (we saw all the Big 5 and then some). Unfortunately, we weren't able to make it to the Lion encounter in Swaziland, but the wildlife we saw in the Thornybush Game Reserve more than made up for it. Donna and I were both impressed with the novelty, charm, and hospitality of the Rainbird Chalet and we'd like to thank you, in particular, for the very detailed driving directions. They were crucial for driving around Swaziland at night." 
 

Dennis Carr - travelled to Botswana (May 2006)
"The Chobe trip was one of the most enjoyable of my entire trip. I would be inclined to spend some time at Chobe my next trip. My stay at Chitwa was wonderful, and three days in Kruger at Lower Sabie was also super - loved every bit of it (and will likely try to expore the whole park my next trip). I ended up seeing all there is to see, especially a mother and daughter leopard loving on, playing with, and grooming each other. Possibly the most incredible sight I have ever seen - it literally brought tears to my eyes. All in all, an awesome trip,and one I hope to repeat before long. Again, thanks for your help and I'll get back to you when I start planning my return engagement. "

Olivia & Patrick Tabone - travelled to South Africa (May 2006)
"First of all me and Patrick would like to thank you for the excellent preparation from your side regarding our safari trip in South Africa. Everything went according to plan from the pick up at the airport until the moment we sadly had to depart from SA. We really appreciated that you had cancelled for us that transfer from Lions Head Lodge to Cape Town Lodge, that saved us a lot of money. All the accommodation was fine along the safari, but I have to say that Cape Town Lodge was the best of all. We were close to the centre in fact we used to walk to and from V&A Waterfront. The waterfront was huge and had a lot to explore about. During the safari it was fun, we were a good team and the guides were great! They really looked after us very well. They prepared very good food – I have to go on diet now as I put on weight! The safari was excellent – we have seen a lot of wild animals, from the big 5 we only missed the leopard. Now I know a lot more about South Africa, and the people are very warm especially the children, they are so cute. What impressed me most in this tour was Blyde River Canyon, the Drakensberg and the Big 4. We have plenty of pictures and video to keep for our memories. Thanks again and I already recommended you to some friends that wish to visit South Africa in the near future. "

Susanne Will - travelled to Victoria Falls (April 2006)
"Back at home and just overwhelmed from a sensational, amazing and perfectly organized Jenman Tour through South Africa. I would like to thank you a million times for your professional and patient support! I have experienced, seen, learned so much, I was catered for with delicious vegetarian food and was shepherded all the time…Therefore, the 3 weeks were an adventure, which I will keep in my mind forever! Jenman is highly recommendable. Everything was perfectly organized, as well the transfer from Zambia to Zimbabwe and the micro light flight. But one thing must be said: the beauty of the Victoria Falls cannot reach the one of Iguazu. The horse back riding in Zimbabwe was brilliant. I always felt secure and in good hands. The friendly people, well-spoken in English, excellent lodges with terrific panoramic views, fantastic nature and wildlife – in a nutshell: a dream!"

Nathan Brett - Travelled to South Africa (March 2006)
"It was amazing - thank you so very much for everything. The accommodation was superb, with friendly and knowledgeable managers/owners. They really went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. The shark diving and safari was also really great. We did an additional horse back safari (which I feel was a real highlight). We both felt your services were fantastic. It was fantastic and thank you again - shall be recommending your services!!"
 
 

Sharon Messet - travelled to South Africa (March 2006)
"We are back already from South Africa and we had the most amazing time over there - I just wish we could have gone for longer!!! I just wanted to say a big thank you for your help, especially with Summerwood, it was just beautiful! The rooms were great, the pool lovely and the people were superb! They went out of their way to help us and I would highly recommend it to everyone! Just to say also we went to Tokara for my birthday and had the most amazing dinner and wine too - with a great view, thanks for the recommendation! Thank you again for everything...you were great. "

Eric & Carl - travelled to South Africa (January 2006)
"Our trip from Vic Falls to Cape Town met all our expectations – small personalized groups, fabulous guide and professional assistance. Our guide was a pro, a joy... friendly, knowledgeable, hardworking and caring, passionate about her job with incredibel intuition and ability to judge her clients needs. Overall we were very pleased with our trip!"

Debbie & Chris Winchell - travelled to South Africa (January 2006)
"Well, it's hard to believe but we're back home after the most incredible trip. Everything you booked was outstanding - particularly the Winelands and the Inverdoorn Safari. My wife, Debbie, just kept calling everything magical. I almost called you while we were there, but it seemed we were so busy doing this and that, that Friday came before we knew it. The Twelve Apostles Hotel is magnificent in its own right - the service, accommodations and staff there are among the best we've experienced around the world. Anyway it was all fantastic, and I thank you so much for the part you played in making it so. We plan to come back next year and see some other areas - hopefully to another game reserve, Victoria Falls, and elsewhere - so, I'm sure I'll be back in touch then, if not before. Many thanks, again!"

Flip & Lily - travelled to Namibia (December 2005)
"My wife and I joined a safari through Namibia end of last year. We really had an awesome trip and often think back to the time when we were travelling through this beautiful country, experiencing differnet cultures and enjoying nature and the wild animals in the bush. Our guides did an increbible job. Thanks a lot for everything!!!"

Mandy Dillon - travelled to Africa (September 2005)
"Just wanted to say a massive thank you for helping to arrange our holiday. I'm sure you'll be pleased to hear that we had a fantastic time, the safari was great... we saw loads of animals, our guide and cook were both brilliant and the lodges we stayed in were excellent. I'm really pleased we went for the small group option (which in the end was just my husband and myself) it meant we had loads of flexibility and didn't have to share our guide with anyone. We did see some big groups being ferried about and were pleased that we weren't among them!" 

Adel Zakaria - travelled to South Africa (August 2005)
"We just came back from our Southern Experience Safari. Thanks you very much for making all the arrangements. Jeremy and I had a ‘perfect’ trip. We can’t think of a single thing we would change. It was the most memorable trip. The itinerary was great, the scenery, the wildlife, the accommodation, the weather was perfect… even meeting native people we met in Namibia was an amazing experience. Our guide was absolutely great, a very knowledgeable individual with a great attitude and always willing to share. I’m sure that we’ll be able to find some time next year where we can bring our family together for a safari with you!" 
 

Veronica Healy - travelled to South Africa (August 2005)
"I did a 3 day walking safari. Jenman Safaris made all the arrangements for accommodation in Johannesburg before and after the safari for me - all done over the internet and everything was very smoothly organised. Our two rangers were Brett and Brett and we had a great 3 days with them. They were great fun to be with. Their enthusiasm and knowledge of the bush was impressive and they looked after us very well.
It was a great experience and I would definitely book with Jenman Safaris again!"

Tina Beshers - travelled to Livingstone & Swakopmund (June 2005)
"My best friend and I were on the Livingstone to Swakopmund trip, and it was perhaps the best experience of our life. Our first day was so incredible that we both believed nothing else could top it. How wrong we were! Each day was better than the last. Our guide was incredible, and taught us so much about the land, the wildlife and the culture. But best of all, she was fun (not to mention, a great cook). Thanks Jenman for the trip of a lifetime, and I look forward to visiting Africa again with you. "

Josephine Gonzales - travelled to East Africa (May 2005)
"After our Okavango Delta trip, this year we joined a safari through East Africa. On the whole, a very memorable trip and don't think we could have got to view so much wildlife and fantastic landscape if it hadn't been done overland. The highlight of the trip were the gorillas in Congo which we felt were a once in a lifetime experience and never to be forgotten. Looking back on the wonderful photos, scenery, wildlife and local people we're planning to go to Mozambique and Malawi with you next year, to explore some more African countries."
 
 

Biggi Schoengen - travelled to South Africa (April 2005)
"We've spent an incredible time in the Kruger National Park! During the Safari, our guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the Fauna and Flora of the National Park. We really enjoyed great hospitality and the food was just amazing. It was an unbelievable experience that we'll never forget and can recommend to everybody. Thanks so much to Jenman Safaris for the perfect organisation and all the pre-departure information that fulfilled our African adventure." 
 

Nick Andell - travelled to South Africa (March 2005)
"We had an extremely enjoyable trip from Cape Town to Livingstone. It is true that the route contains some wonderful highlights, which would make it seem almost impossible not to have a great time. Much of our enjoyment can be directly attributed to our guide who worked incredibly hard with infectious enthusiasm, impressive knowledge of the areas and all the information that was given us during the game drives to ensure that we all have a good time Overall we were very impressed with our dealings with Jenman and wish you every success."

Josephine Gonzales - travelled to Botswana (July 2004)
"During our Okavango Delta trip in Botswana last year we were travelling together with 3 Aussies and after our 5 day experience we became friends for life. As naturalists they were able to comment/advise on the local birds and flora. Being only 5 of us we had the luxury of a very unique group amongst friends. Our guide was also our cook and driver but being a small group we had a marvellous time - no hitches, tents were excellent and easy to put up/down. Also the company manager did wonders to get our lost luggage to our camp site two days after the trip started."

Angelo Farelli - travelled to South Africa (July 2003)
"No one will how beautiful South Africa and Africa is unless they have seen and experienced it for themselves. I loved Cape Town, the warm sunshine, the beaches; the friendly people everything. Namibia was great too, the sand dunes when it changes colour as the sun sets was amazing, the game drives and seeing animals that I normally see on TV was unbelievable. Being in Africa one tends to forget you going to be in the open bush among trees, dust even insects but I didn’t mind at all. I especially enjoyed the being in Africa while eating breakfast, lunch but dinner was the best as we sat under the warm African Skies with stars lighting the sky. I wished I could’ve stayed there forever, but as the saying goes 'All good things come to an end"

Caroline Otto - travelled to South Africa (June 2003)
"We had a GREAT trip! I am still searching for new words for 'amazing'. Jenman Safaris provided a spectacular (diverse, extremely knowledgeable, interesting, interested, good-humored, and delicious) experience. By week two, I knew I would be working to come back to Africa. I would not hesitate to recommend them as a safari service. Can't wait for the next one!"

Birgit Pinte - travelled to Cape town (December 2002)
"After everybody was telling me that the garden route tour is a must-do when you are visiting Cape Town I decided to do it with Jenman African Safaris. It was an 8 day trip, full of scenic drive and fun! The first time in my life I saw whales in Hermanus and I still can’t believe that I really did this thrilling bungee jump! The coastline of South Africa is unique and our guide was giving us a lot of interesting information about the places we visited, for example the Cango Caves. My group was fantastic, too and I want to take the chance to send greetings to everybody - we has just a lovely time!"

Georg Bonhoff - travelled to Botswana (December 2002)
"With pleasure I’m writing a follow up regarding my Botswana holiday with Jenman African Safaris. Still today it is in good memories and I loved being out in the bush with an amazing group of people. The pre-tour organisation was excellent and the assistance was very helpful and all the tips and hints made it possible to enjoy this trip like we did. Our tour guide was a huge fund of knowledge in different things and made this trip unforgettable. The game drives were superb and we couldn’t ask for more – especially seeing all these elephants with their babies in Chobe National Park was and unforgettable experience. Still today we’ve this big picture on the wall in our lounge. A huge thanks to the Jenman Safaris Team and I’ll definitely recommend you amongst all our friends. "

Kryss Katsiavriades - travelled to Victoria Falls (December 2002)
"I have to say a big thank you, firstly to your good self, for organising such an excellent itinerary for me and patiently responding to all my questions and concerns. It all fitted into place from the moment I stepped off the plane at Vic Falls and was greeted by a placard with my name on. It continued with an efficient transfer to a very nice hotel, followed by two superb tours. A very big thank you to guide and driver for three weeks. He led with calmness, knowledge and wit. He was patient enough to answer my many questions about the wildlife, culture and geography. He put up with my complete lack of outdoor expertise. The group and the guide were indeed an excellent company."

Inge Mueller - travelled to Africa (November 2002)
"Who would’ve thought that my first trip to Africa would be so exciting and enjoyable. I have never experienced the beauty of its natural surroundings, its vast and never ending landscapes, its beautiful creatures and wildlife, the warmth and hospitality of its African people. We had amazing time together and the whole group became like a family on tour, which was great. This was an unforgettable experience and one that I would like to do again. Thank you Jenman Safaris for a wonderful time in Africa."

Tatjana Novak - travelled to South Africa (November 2002)
"I just want to congratulate Jenman safaris on an awesome trip. I have been to South Africa before but never on a safari which was the highlight of my visit. Everyhting was well organized and planned and the tour guide was extremely friendly and had excellent knowledge of all the places visited on our trip. Traveling alone, I thought I would not fit in but one tends to forget how easy it is to makes new friends. I enjoyed being out in Africa camping, eating African food and enjoying African company, both humans and animals. I would definitely return for another safari and bring some friends along. THANK YOU JENMAN FOR A GREAT TIME!" 
 

Laura Morris - travelled to South Africa (November 2002)
"The Northern Experience Deluxe safari was really a good choice of safaris to choose from. My husband, Frank and I had a great time in the Okavango Delta especially. The Mokoro rides were so relaxing. The scenery was unbeatable and the amount of birds was indescribable. We really enjoyed the canoeing on the Orange River too. It was my first time on a camping trip and thoroughly enjoyed the adventure! I will also never forget the delicious,traditional and truly South African 'braais' that we had. I am taking that word back to the States with me. Thanks again Jenman! "

Jane Curtis - travelled to Namibia (November 2002)
"We had a really memorable holiday going on Safari. Our itinerary took us through spectacular scenery in Namibia, game viewing in Etosha National Park and also in the Okavanga Delta in Botswana - to mention just some of the things we saw and did. Especially the helicopter fight in Vic Falls and quad biking in Swakopmund was an absolute highlight! Our guide was knowledgeable, seemingly tireless, a great cook and had a good sense of humour too. We enjoy camping and therefore don't mind a little bit of discomfort. Overall thought that we had excellent value for our money."

Marina Ferez - travelled to Botswana (July 2002)
"We have done Botswana safari and to say it right from the beginning: It was amazing! We were looking forward to this trip for a long time and it fulfilled all our expectations! We were impressed most of all by the Okavango Delta, which is of an outstanding natural beauty and habits huge variety of birds. Further highlights were the Vic Falls and the Chobe National Reserve where we were able to watch large herds of elephants drinking at the river. We are often taking our pictures out and are thinking back at this 14 unforgettable days!"

Stefan Winter - travelled to South Africa (July 2002)
"Four countries in 20 days, from Cape Town to Vic Falls- an incredible experience! It is really difficult to decide what my personal highlight was, because there were just too many unforgettable moments… The sunset in Sossuvlei, when these huge sand dunes are turned in red light, was definitely one of my favorites! You really can’t describe it you have to see it. Furthermore I really loved the Etosha National Park and the Okavango Delta with its unique landscape and all the animals it habits. When we arrived at Vic Falls nobody could believe that the 20 days were already gone, but everybody was sure that it was the best trip of their life!"
 
 

Jean Miller - travelled to Botswana & Namibia (August 2001)
"I would like to say a big thank you for taking so much interest and for your best efforts to make my safari really memorable. The wildlife and food variation was excellent. We loved the scenery in the Namib Desert and in Botswana and the local guide seemed to have a sixth sense about how and where to spot animals. We saw several Lions including a "Buffalo Kill" which was amazing. We also saw a Leopard and all the other usual things in good numbers. In short we had an excellent trip. Thank-you"
 

Martina Schaefer - travelled to Botswana (July 2001)
"Our safari in Botswana was one of the best holiday's we've ever had! Jenman Safaris were extremely helpful and efficient - they pulled out all the stops to ensure that we went to all the places we wanted within the short time we had. The safari itself was excellent, never a dull moment. Our guide was extremely professional, knowledgeable and good company. We were on the go for the full 6 days and saw masses of wildlife and game. I couldn't tell you what was the highlight - there were so many! I now have lots of great photos and fantastic memories - I can't wait to return! "

Magdalena Krabovicz - travelled to South Africa (April 2001)
"We spent a wonderful 10 days exploring the Garden Route. It was perfect. Everything was perfect! The weather, the food, the accommodation the company and our guide. We saw unbelievable sites and views. The whale watching in Hermanus was fantastic and certainly a highlight of mine. Knysna and Plett are breathtaking places which I would certainly and hoping to visit again. I made some excellent friendships on this trip. This trip will be in my memories forever. South Africa is a great country all in all."

Beverly Anderson - travelled to Namibia (December 2000)
"This was my first trip to Africa and it was a great experience! Namibia was amazing with the most beautiful sunsets and landscapes. It was a very memorable safari and I will definitely return to see more! Thanks to our guide for all his enthusiasm and hard work."

Max Segel - travelled to Namibia (September 2000)
"I just had the most incredible holiday of my lifetime. Not only that the people travelling with me were the most fun ever; our guide, the nature, our experiences were so amazing. Every day I woke up early awaiting what new and exciting things the day would bring and every day exceeded my expectations. Thanks Jenman Safaris for this trip and I’ll definitely come back one day to join one of your other trips. See you soon!"

Magali Ferre - travelled to Cape Town (August 2000)
"First of all I’d like to thank you for your quick correspondence and making it possible for me and my friends to organise a wonderful self-drive around Cape Town in such a short time. You were the only operator that could give us a perfect itinerary for only one week of travelling! Our trip was the perfect mix of adventure, sightseeing and relaxing. All the accommodations used where in a beautiful setting and comfortable, easy to access and most important with good breakfasts! Thank you again for making it possible to travel spontaneous and still good!"

Doris Mackay - travelled to Namibia (October 1999)
"Wow, Namibia is such a diverse country! It was truly the highlight country of the whole trip. From wet lush areas to dry desert. Absolutely loved it! It is such a clean and pretty country too. Swakopmund had so much to offer. We did the skydiving, quad biking and dolphin cruise. It was a good place to do curio shopping and eat good seafood. I'd like to thank my guide and Jenman Safaris again for such a wonderful experience. I am sure I will be back sometime soon to experience it all again!" 

Liza Peterson - travelled to Africa (September 1999)
"An outstanding vacation. A kaleidoscope of history, culture, adventure and wild Africa in just 20 days! Our guides knowledge, respect, commitment and enthusiasm was exceptional. Throughout the trip, despite the remoteness of some of the areas visited, the attention to small details assured our comfort and safety. Memories of those magical evenings around the campfire under African stars after an excellent meal will remain bright for many years. Keep up the excellent work."
 

Doug Gordon - travelled to south Africa (August 1999)
"The Cape Adventure along the Garden Route was a great trip. The itinerary was fun and the activities exciting, with a great group of fellow travellers and awesome guide! Couldn't have asked for a better experience!!"

David & Judith Bayer - travelled to Botswana (August 1999)
"We had a great trip through Botswana with Jenman Safaris - The Makoro trip and game walk in the Okavango Delta was a real adventure and the highlight of our safari! We made great friends and our guide was fantastic - very knowledgeable and a brilliant cook. Thanks for everything!"

Michael Buchanan - travelled to Botswana and Namibia (November 1998)
"This is the second time we have traveled with Jenman African Safaris. Their outstanding knowledge and eye for detail once again assured a memorable vacation. Our guide was knowledgeable, capable, passionate about Africa and a fantastic cook too! She went out of her way to assure that our trip was out of the ordinary. The hospitality throughout was heartwarming and meeting the locals touching. Etosha and the Delta were breathtaking. Keep up the incredible work!"
 

Karen Evans - travelled to Namibia (September 1998)
"Our trip was an absolutely unique and wonderful experience. The attention to detail in every aspect of the service, the knowledge and attentiveness of the staff from our initial enquiry right through to our exceptional guide, surpassed our imagination and expectations. In 20 days we enjoyed an amazing mix of cultures, scenery and African wildlife. Etosha and the Okavango Delta were absolute highlights. We would do it all over again!" 

Jane & Steve Leonard - travelled to Cape Town to Victoria Falls (June 1998)
"After our trip from Cape Town to Victoria Falls we soon learned Africa was not only a holiday destination but definitely an adventure. Everything we saw and did was amazing the animals, sand dunes, the National Parks, Okavango Delta. Everything was really good. We did have an amazing time. Thank you for organising a wonderful trip, we will be coming back in the future. "
 

Pam - travelled to Botswana
I recently returned from Jenman's 14 day Upgraded Botswana Wildlife
Breakaway Safari. We were a great group of 10 - 2 Irish, 5 Americans
and 3 Australians and were fortunate to have the services of driver/
guide Mike Miles.  He really made our trip special, sharing his
extensive knowledge of the wildlife, customs, history and politics of
the countries we visited during the drives and around the campfires as
we ate the delicious meals he prepared. He left no stone unturned to
maximize our enjoyment of the safari. In the main our lodges were
good.  The itinerary was well thought out and we saw lots of animals
but alas no cheetah, leopard or rhino.  A pleasant surprise for me was
the amazing variety of birdlife we encountered. The mokoro trip
through the Okavango Delta was magical.

Ursula Essamledin - travelled to Botswana 
"Our journey was really a very nice experience. Again, we have learnt a lot from our Guide Chantal. The number of travelers was good but it shouldn’t have been more. The meals were excellent and Chantal always cooked what we liked. Every meal turned out to be amazing. Unfortunately we couldn’t visit the Makgadikgadi Pans and a few spots in the parks because of the rain. We will recommend Chantal and Jenman Safaris to our friends and to our agency any time."
