Amazing Kruger Park
I had the chance to visit the Kruger National Park with Jewel of Africa and I will never forget!
I think I had the best tour guide I have ever had in my whole life ! In only one day, we had the chance to see 4 of the 5 members of the very prestigious club of the Big Five!
It was extraordinary!

Excellent safari in Kruger Park!
I had an amazing weekend in Kruger Park with Jewel of Africa Safaris! We had an amazing stay in a beautiful lodge, and also the tour was really nice. Neil was very experienced, and showed us all kinds of animals with lots of extra information. We even saw the big five in one day. It was really nice and it would recommend it to everyone. I think it was even the best part of my 3 week trip to South Africa:-).
Planes, Trains & Automobile Chicks Tour of South Africa
Kobus and I met on a Safari many years ago and he just made me laugh. A couple of years later I asked him to help me organise a 2-week tour of South Africa. Wow, what a blast we managed a lot from driving through Swaziland to the grand finale a trip on the Blue Train from Cape Town to Pretoria. Kobus and team were fantastic they organised everything including car and train hire, all accommodations, etc. The best part was all the trips that he had organised for along the way. Kobus has a great love and understanding of his country and the surrounding countries and with his wicked sense of humour, I was in tears of laughter every time we had a catch-up meeting. I look forward to my next trip with Kobus and Jewel of Africa Safaris because they are the jewel of Africa.

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!

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!

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.

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.
