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!

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,

Thanks for your wonderful review of the Botswana Wildlife Break Away tour. It's great to hear that you had an incredible tour and that it exceeded expectations.

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.
