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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Awesome experience!
I honestly have nothing but great things to say about Jewel of Africa Safaris. Loved every minute of the 4 day safari/sightseeing. The tour guides are very friendly and really on a level that gets the conversation flowing between everyone in the group instead of having them just listing up info about the area, animal or whatever the topic. Even the 6 hour transport stretches never got boring! I would recommend these guys to anyone and I'm definitely coming back to do a longer and more substantial safari and sightseeing. If you want someone who won't hesitate with going the extra mile for you to experience something special, this is it! They won't let you down.
