The itinerary, guide, and accommodations were amazing.
Communication before and during the tour was really good. Richard answered all of my questions before the tour and followed up to see that everything was alright after the tour. The itinerary that Richard suggested was really well organized and included everything I wanted to see and the one accommodation change that I wanted to make. All accommodations were nice and well located. During our travels from one location to the next, Richard made some stops at different sites to show me things along the way. He was a very good and enthusiastic guide and I really enjoyed my tour with him.

Amazing
Excellent Safari, a lifetime experience
From day one of booking the communication with jadi Africa Safaris was superb. We were picked up on time from our hotel by a friendly guide/driver John and we drove through the Nairobi city tomorrow the Masai Mara. John was a fantastic guide, he explained everything we came across while on the way and he ensured we had a stop over at the viewpoint for photos. He had a great sense of humor and be sure to have a laugh at his jokes all through the Safari. It was a long journey but the time passes quick as there is so much to look at and a good amp of information to take in.
The accommodation was great, it had everything you could possibly need and was clean and comfortable. The food was good and would cater for both carnivores and vegetarians alike, with a fantastic spread of international food and local delicacies.
The next morning we had a quick breakfast and headed to check in at Masai Mara National Park, before starting the search for wildlife, at the gate we were treated to an abundance of wildlife, including 2 of the “Big 5”. During the game drives we were able to spot a herd of elephants grazing, all of the big 5, giraffes, antelopes, black backed jackals, wild dog, Zebras and different types of birds. Our guide John was in hand to impact knowledge about all the species we spotted, and he was happy to answer all questions we had.
The Air balloon is a must try, one of the best experience I have ever had during the Safari.
To summarize, we had the the experience of a lifetime and we owe a lot to the Jadi Africa Safaris, they helped us have memories that will stay with us for a lifetime ! Thanks Jadi Safaris for the PHENOMENAL SAFARI!!!
We will be back

Unforgettable safari
Absolutely unforgettable safari, meticulously planned, expressed through very personal attention to detail, and executed with a touch of flawless professionalism. Montez made the December holidays unravel in a manner I could only have dreamt of. They knew the terrain, guided the team with precision and added value by throwing in quite a bit of unexpected sights in the itinerary. I can't wait yet again to be a guest of Montez

Excellent Safari
The service and the safari both were excellent. Our stay at Sopa Masai Mara was best in class.

The most informative, entertaining, delightful, and knowledgable guide in the business
We did a lot of research about various safari experiences and picked Bearded Heron because it was rated as one of if not the best in Kruger. Those reviews proved to be very true. The safari exceeded our already high expectations. Neil knocked it out of the ball park with his knowledge, experience, wit and demeanor. He inspired confidence that our safety was in always in good hands, while he opened our eyes to the incredible wildlife, geography, and history, and background of Kruger. We had close encounters that with wildlife that could have been dangerous with an inexperienced guide, but we never had a moment of doubt that Neil was in control of the adventure. I will without hesitation recommend this safari experience as the very best available. In addition to the guiding, we dined at the camps with outstanding food prepared by Neil and Rowen. The culinary treats simply put the frosting on the safari cake. If you want the safari of a lifetime, go with Bearded Heron!

See Africa through George's eyes
We were lucky enough to have George Mbaula for our guide on our 2 week Tanzania photo safari. He is very knowledgeable about his environment and his ability to locate wildlife and then put you in the best place to see them is exceptional. As birdwatchers we were very impressed with his avian knowledge. George, also, has a likability factor that will make you feel very comfortable and at ease in your surroundings. Africa is a must see experience - add George to the mix to maximize it.

Filled with cultural experiences.
Charles our Guide was outstanding. Our accommodations were wonderful and 1st class and in the reserves that we saw. Charles listened to our request and allowed us to venture off on interactions with small villages, incredible markets and cultural experiences. He is the best safari guide when it comes to spotting the animals and ensuring that we all got to se them.
By far the best safari that I have ever been on.

Everyone should go!
Briliant unspoilt scenery with amazing wildlife! Uganda is a hidden gem! The tour route ensured we missed nothing. Travelling through such varied landscapes meant that we saw much more wildlife than you would on the plains of Kenya or South Africa. I saw all the animals I expected; lions, leopards, rhino, elephants, giraffe, hippo, chimps, gorillas, crocadilles and various monkeys etc. I also saw a few I didn't expect; 2 chameleon which I got to hold, a gaboon viper, mongoose, a monitor lizard and two otters! All the accommodation was stunning, with either exceptional views or location. All the places we stayed at were completely different with their own personalities, which gave the holiday a feeling of gentle exploration. Generally we stayed 2 nights at each place, which was not too exhausting. The roads are in the process of being upgraded and once completed will open the floodgates to more tourists. The food was european styled but very locally sourced. I recommend the crayfish from Lake Bunyonyi. What made the holiday for me was the quality of our tour guide. Husein was so brilliant! He was exceptional at wildlife tracking in the National Parks and sometimes outside them! (Viper, mongoose and monitor lizard). Husein tracked 5 lions in Ishasha when nobody had seen any for 4 days! He was a library of information about what we were driving through, pointing things out to us all the time, even if we were just driving down a normal road. He was always looking out for us. When necessary he got us up early so that we were at the heade of the queue for the best seats on the river cruises etc. The "extra mile" was when by mistake I left my muddy boots in the back of the 4*4 after gorilla tracking. I got in the vehicle the next morning to totally cleaned boots!!!
Holiday of a lifetime and so pleased I did it with Speke, as they were totally professional. I felt I couldn't have had a better experience.
