I arrived on this safari with very few expectations about what Zimbabwe and Botswana would be like to travel in, let alone what activities Jenman would have planned for us. Safe to say I was blown away by the spectacular landscapes and wildlife, but I think the most memorable part of the trip was the knowledge and passion imparted by our guide. Njabulo knew seemingly everything about the places we travelled to, and I can confidently say that I have come away with a broader perspective on the complex history of the region. In addition to this, Njabulo and our legendary driver Cuthbert were always on hand to assist with the needs of all guests, including dietary requirements, clothing, aches and pains, and even itinerary changes. I couldn’t imagine better hands to have been in.
Hello "Trail"!
Thank you for your lovely review and comments on your itinerary, wildlife, and guides.
Indeed, Zimbabwe and Botswana are very special countries to travel in, and we do our best to put together itineraries and activities that will highlight all the wonderful aspects of each destination. We are thrilled to hear that you were blown away by the spectacular landscapes and wildlife.
Your compliments to Cuthbert and Njabulo are well deserved, and we will let them know that you enjoyed their hosting abilities.
We look forward to seeing you again on another Jenman Safaris tour.
Best regards,
The Jenman Team
Dear Team Jenman,
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 and communicator - whether it’s wildlife, history or culture, he is a wonderful teacher - 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 I 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.
Dear 'Voyage'!
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so happy that you've experienced a memorable trip for your family with us.
We are very proud of our long-term team members, including Njabulo and Cuthbert. They are multi-talented guides and always take great care of our guests. Indeed, they are the 'dream team'!
The chefs at even our most remote lodges are also very skilled in providing for dietary restrictions, including gluten-free food; in fact, we have heard that they see it as a fun challenge to provide special meals for special guests!
We will let everyone from your journey that you enjoyed your tour, and hope that you will come on another tour with us again soon.
Kind regards,
The Jenman Team
My family and I just completed a 2 week trip through Zimbabwe and Botswana led by Njabulo and perfectly driven by Cuthbert. These 2 made the trip so special.
Njabulo is a gifted teacher and guide and took wonderful care of all of us throughout. Yes we saw the Big 5 but the real highlight was learning so much about these 2 countries from our stays and from our guide.
We plan to return one day because Njabulo and Cuthbert gave us such a positive first impression of Africa and her history and wildlife.
Siyabonga guys!

Siyabonga to you!
Many thanks for your great review. We are thrilled that you had a good time on your two-week trip through Zimbabwe and Botswana.
Indeed, Njabulo and Cuthbert are very special guides, and love to make their guests feel at home. They are full of knowledge and enjoy sharing information about the surrounding areas on tour.
We are pleased that you experienced a positive first impression of Africa, and hope that you will come back again for a second-visit.

An outstanding trip and exceeded my expectations. Magnificent and close up views of all the amazing animals. A perfect mix of day and evening game drives, river cruises, guided walk and visiting the significant sights of Botswana and Zimbabwe. The accommodation at the lodges was fantastic, the meals were generously proportioned and delicious and the staff were attentive and friendly. Our guide Thulani and driver Phulani were knowledgeable on all animals, plants, birds and the areas we visited. Everything was well organised, they assisted us at all times and we had a lot of fun. A memorable trip and so many photos!
Hi Christine,

We agree that it is truly magnificent to get close up viewing of some amazing animals of Africa. It's also great that you had a perfect mix of game drives, river cruises, guided walks. We put this package together carefully to ensure that guests have a taste of each type of experience and excursion while on safari.
It's lovely for us to get compliments on the accommodation at the lodges. We are pleased that you enjoyed the meals and friendly staff, in particular, Thulani and Phulani, who are two of our very special and valued team members.
We hope to see you on safari again soon!

We had the best ever Safari. It was our first time and it went beyond our expectations. We enjoyed every safari drive and were amazed at the encounters. Leopard, cheetah, lion encounters will never be forgotten. The tiny baby hippo was so beautiful. Magnificent herds of elephants. Dazzle of Zebras and Journey of Giraffes and so many more. The Lodges were so comfortable with warm welcomes and beautiful food.
Our tour guide Thulani and driver Phulani made us feel safe at all times. They provided a wealth of information about animals, birds, plants and locations and were always happy to answer our never ending questions.
Hi Ozpert,
Thanks for the great review! We are so happy that you had the best safari ever, and that your trip went beyond your expectations.
It's such a wonderful experience to see leopards, cheetahs, and lions in their natural habitat, as well as hippos, elephants giraffes, zebras and more. Thulani and Phulani are seasoned professionals and make sure that our guests have the best experience possible.
Thanks for the compliments on the lodges and food. We appreciate all the positive feedback!
We hope you will come back on another Jenman Safari-adventure soon!
