They are a very competent and professional tour company
My family and I have recently completed a 1 month Northern experience Jenman African Safari. Our tour started in Cape Town, South Africa then going into Namibia, Botswana and ending at Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. We had wonderful guides in Warren Tilling who was with us in Cape Town and up to the border of Namibia. We then had Norbert Ndlovu lead us for the rest of the tour with our driver Tanguni, who we subsequently named Mister T. These people were most knowledgeable at spotting the animals, birds and items of interest wherever we went. The locations and activities at every stop were first class. we found the facilities brilliant and the staff at each stop very friendly and accommodating. The tour was absolute value for money in all respects.
I was asked at the beginning of our tour what my aim and expectations were. My answer was to see the animals. Particularly "The Big 5".
While on our numerous Safaris I did this many times over, much to my delight. To see the various animals and birds in their natural habitat and up close was a great experience. Being at very close quarters to the Lions would be my highlight followed by the Elephants and Springboks, but they were all nice to see. The two major Wildlife Reserves where we saw most of our animals and birds were Etosha and Chobe. It was at Chobe that we saw close up Crocodiles and Hippos. We had beautiful sunset cruises on the Chobe and Zambezi Rivers, these were not to be missed. To see Victoria Falls was an amazing experience, the sight and sound of the Falls were unbelievable. A brilliant end of our tour.
We were really impressed with the fact that we had booked the Northern Safari with Jenman in 2019, but then COVID-19 intervened and threw our plans into chaos. Over two plus years we discussed this matter with Jenman and they kept the option open for us to commence our Northern Experience African Safari at no extra cost. We were able to take our trip of a lifetime In August 2022.
Many thanks to Garth, and Kyle for your professional and courteous attention to our trip detail.
I highly recommend Jenman African Safaris for your tour of this wonderful country, it will be worth it.

The tour operator Melvin was super knowledgeable and was always there to help.
I can definitely recommend the intimate Botswana and Zimbabwe encounters. It was super easy, all I had to do was sit back, relax, and enjoy myself. Every lodge experience was enjoyable and beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and would definitely do it again. Every bit of it was worth the money and worth it's value.

Njabulo was our tour guide and he made it an unforgettable experience
Njabulo and Cuthbert did an amazing job at making our tour an unforgettable experience! From teaching us about the African continent, to bush life, nature and of course the animals. The tour itself was amazing, from every lodge to hotel was different and seemed to get better and better at every stay. From welcome singing, theatre shows, sunset cruises with free drinks to Victoria falls swim! They kept our entire group safe like we were part of their family and assisted with every detail such as helping with lost baggage, clothes shopping and more!! Highly recommend Jenman Safaris!!

Jabu and Cuthbert made our trip so special
Thank you for arranging such a memorable trip for our family. We have just arrived back in the UK and I wanted to send my heartfelt thanks to Njabulo and Cuthbert for the great care they took to keep us all safe and for all their hard work to ensure that we had the experience of a lifetime in Zimbabwe and Botswana.
As you hopefully already know, Njabulo is supremely talented guide, teacher and communicator and I feel very lucky to have had someone with his passion, experience and skill for our trip. He was always on hand to take care of us all, and help head-off or smooth any bumps in the road. I especially appreciate his help to ensure that my wife was able to enjoy gluten-free food throughout the trip - something I still marvel at given the remoteness of some of our locations. And I am indebted to the chefs at the various lodges, hotels and boat to have been able to produce such excellent food - even better than is sometimes on offer in the heart of Oxford here in the UK.
Thanks also to Cuthbert for his skilful driving and endlessly positive attitude. He and Njabulo are the dream team. I truly look forward to returning one day to experience more of these great countries in their company, and wouldn’t want anyone else to be our guide or driver.

Will Lane was the most professional and accommodating travel agent I have ever worked with.
My wife and I and some friends booked a South Africa safari with another company but when we decided to to an add on before and after that adventure, that operator suggested I reach out to Will Lane at Jenman Safaris. We wanted to visit Cape Town before our safari and do something on the Indian Ocean after. Will gave us several options for lodging in the budget range I provided and made suggestions as to locales in the city. He also was helpful on currency rates and tips on dining and transportation as well arranging some tours to Cape point and the wine country. When we asked about our post safari visit to the Indian Ocean side of Africa, Will suggested Mozambique and the area around Vilanculos. He arranged a fantastic villa (at a discounted rate) and all of the transfers to and from the air port. All of his arrangements went flawlessly and he kept in touch through the entire trip when I had questions. I highly recommend Jenman Safaris for your travel plans

Inspiring Vacations with Jenman African Safaris.
The tour guide Njabulo and the driver Cuthbert made the trip. With their local knowledge and experience was second to none.
They looked after everything and their sense of humour was infectious. We were well informed every part of the way.
Thank you so much guys.

Trip of a lifetime
We just got back from a 21 day safari with Jenman Safaris. We started at Victoria Falls, traveled through Botswana, Namibia and ended in Cape Town, South Africa. We did a 1/2 camping, 1/2 lodging trip and the entire trip was beyond our wildest dreams. We had an incredible tour guide (thank you Jorge), the accommodations ranged from modest to what we would consider 5 star, the food was always good. The trip was well organized and took us to a variety of places including small villages, national parks and cities. I still can't believe the number of animals that we saw or the different landscapes. I would recommend this trip and Jenman Safaris for anyone that wants to have a great African experience.
