Sheilagh did an outstanding job in helping us plan and set up our trip: I'd recommend her to anyone@
I'm 67 and my wife is 64. We had unique requirements for our Southern Africa trip in July 2011, that included an outstanding 8-day tour: “3 Country Wildlife Wave Safari”, including a Kruger National Park Safari, Mozambique, (Maputo plus a day on the beach), Hluhluwe National Park safari, a Lake St. Lucia boat safari and a day in Swaziland.) a self-tour of the Panorama area west of Kruger our requested train trip from Durban to Capetown via Johannesburg, Lethoso, and Capetown. Sheilagh enthusiastically worked tirelessly to coordinate all these items that perfectly suited our goals at an extremely affordable cost. We could not have organized this trip from home. That was the planning part. Where Sheilagh really demonstrated her value was when a freak snowstorm made travel to Lethoso impossible the day we planned. Sheilgah promptly provided several alternate options that included an unexpected cultural visit north of Durban. The alternate arrangements went perfectly. After visiting 144 countries, in our opinion, Sheilagh has proven to be the most competent conscientious travel agent we have encountered. Thank you, Sheilagh! Paul and Peg

It was a hassle free experience, very professional and a pleasure to deal with
Once my booking request was sent to Jamela for a trip to Mauritius, I was kept informed, given all required details and advice as to what to take etc was excellent. Dealing with Jamela Africa Safaris was worth it.

A beautiful African experience thanks to Jamela African Safaris!
Sheilagh at Jamela Africa Safaris did not disappoint. Her professional and thorough approach, and ongoing communication to ensure our package was tailored to our needs and budget made it so much easier to plan our holiday of a lifetime. We were thoroughly impressed with all the places Sheilagh recommended. She also has a very good knowledge of how things work in each country such as visa requirements and getting from place to place and also has connections with established and reputable companies that don't rip you off. Take a load off and leave it to Jamela!

A flawless SA safari with minimal paper and maximum satisfaction
Sheilagh - you are such an amazingly resourceful and easy to deal with person! I am still surprised with the way you had handled hundreds of my queries/suggestions/wishes pre tour and as well as during the time when we were in your rainbow country.
I am so glad that I had picked you as my SA travel advisor - everything was planned perfectly and executed even better, completely flawless.
And a special thanks for the surprise "treat" on my Birthday when you made our shared cape town tour a private one. Lovely lovely gesture Sheilagh.
Thanks Sheilagh for making our family holiday to SA a truly memorable one. I will be delighted to provide further information/details to any of your prospective clients. They just can't get wrong with you

Amazing 2 week mother daughter trip in South Africa
Sheilagh was very efficient with planning the trip and communicated with us frequently and clearly. She designed a fantastic itinerary which exceeded our expectations and made sure to check on us before, during and even after our trip. The safaris that were organised in Sun city were very fun and the guides were knowledgable. After the safari part of trip, we spent some time in Cape town and our guide (Cheryl) went out of her way to make sure we saw and did everything we wanted to! I highly recommend booking through Jamela africa safaris for a holiday to remember!

It was a pleasure dealing with Jamela Safaris. They were prompt, helpful and so knowledgeable
I could not have asked for any one easier to work with. They were always prompt with getting back to me. Their service was outstanding and their recommendations for our tours, hotels and travel arrangements were spot on. Could not have done it without them. Would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone if you want a stress free holiday.
Reliable and fast
For me trying to put together my journey from Austria Jamela Africa Safaris was an invaluable help. Communication was always fast and suggestions were provided within one or two days. So I booked the Namaqualand flowertour with them and some smaller excursions. They all went according to plan and proved to be excellent value. If you are planning a holiday in Southern Africa you are definitely in good hands with Jamela Safaris!
