It was a great tour, and a great guide.
Neil is a great guy and a great guide. He has a lot of really good stories to tell, and we always have a great laugh. He knows a lot og the history of South-Africa and the places we're going to, so it's really interesting.
The highligt of the trip was the Kruger Park. We got to see many different animals, and for my 2 trips I've been able to see the big five. Neil is really good of spotting the animals. He dosen't just know about the big animals, but he also knows a lot about the birds.
I can really recommend Jewel of Africa Safaris. We had a really good time.

What I came all them miles to see
Spent all up two weeks at panzi resort Kruger park
On countless safaris seen all the animals excluding
The leopard but that's also my excuse for going back to
Tick that off the list
From day one to my last my tour guide Neil's
enthusiasm never changed weather it wa talking about
And giving facts about plants or the smallest insect to the largest animal
Highly recommend and 100% coming back

Fantastic adventure
It was amazing! I loved every minute of it. I would go back in a heart beat! The accommodation was fantastic felt very outdoorsy but safe behind the walls from the roaming creatures outside. The Safari was great I got to see the big 5 except for the leopard. Will do it all again to see them all.

It was awesome, rugby world cup, animals and great guides to top it off, just like family
The whole experience was awesome i loved it the communications from our guide Neil was great he made sure we were all involved and and all enjoying it even though the day we were in krugar was pretty cold.
At night we watched the rugby world cup games and had delicious meals.
The whole experience was better then i expected and Panzi bush camp was a beautiful setting to relax in at night very quiet with the occasional wild animal visiting.

Great guide
We were kind of unlucky with the number of animals we saw, but it still ended up being great because of our cheerful and intelligent guide. Learned a lot.

Outstanding Trip that included the Big 6, Golf and meeting many South Africans
We planned our entire visit to South Africa with Kobus deJonge, Jewel of Africa. Our trip included not only driving through Kruger national park and all around the country of South Africa including Easter dinner with the local farm families, dinner and wine sharing with a restaurant owner in a converted government building and golf at some of the most beautiful golf courses in the world (Leopard Creek), Kobus also took our input and added other spontaneous adventures. Kobus provided outstanding service, great knowledge of the country and the wild life and many interesting stories about his country. The trip exceeded any expectation we had and we could not have had a better time, we were there for three weeks. When we departed South Africa and Kobus we felt like we were leaving family and we still keep in touch with Kobus from our home in the USA.

The most amazing time with the most incredible, likeable, helpful and interesting guide ever!
Everything about the communication, service and the safari itself was perfect - definetively living up to expectations! I am very glad that I choose to do the safari in the middle of my stay at Ukutula, as it served as both an great adventure and a nice break from all the other interesting stuff that went on with the lions. I will definetively do something similar at some time, and I would not hesitate a second to choose Jewel of Africa Safaris.

Memories for life
Went to SA in 2014, through goxplore who works with jewel of Africa safari, and I can't describe the great service we received and the unforgettable moments they took us on! We had a guide tour with Neil in Kruger national park and we had so much fun during the safari but also at the wild life bush experience at the lodge we stayed at :-) definitely something I would like to do again!

Best safari trip and experience I can imange ever!
I have nothing to complain about, the whole experience was the best ever. The guides were extremely competent and the best personality. Showed us some incredible places. communication was good, the service could not have been better as we got all the assistance and information we needed. The experience was beyond expectation in many situations. The only thing I wanted was more time. Since there was so much to experience, but I thought we got the most out of the time we had!
