An excellent safari tour operator with its team's heart beat is safaris
5/5

My family and I had an amazing experience under Gideon's splendid experience on game touring. Gideon took us for a day game drive to Moremi National Park and little did we know that we were going to have an experience of our life time through his guiding skills and thanks to his sharp eyes which enabled us to see a Leopard and its young one. Gideon and his colleague he was with that are very calm, patient, educative and were really out for the occasion. Gideon's vast experience in safaris for over 30 years gives him a unique flavor that made our experience to be the best compared to many other game drives we have done before in Zimbabwe and Namibia. Happy for us, on that day, we were able to see four members of the big five family. We give credit to Gideon.

We are planning for a camp out with African Jacana Safari Tours and we hope to learn more and have an enhanced feel of the wild.

Honestly amazing!
5/5

We have just returned after doing a 10 night wild safari trip with Gideon and his team. We visited Morami, Kwarhi, Savute and the Xhobe River and it was was all absolutely amazing! Gideon is so knowledgable about the animals and birds, he often detected where the animals where before he saw them, just by watching the behaviour of other wildlife. We really wanted to see the wild dog and hoped that we just might catch a glimpse as they are very rare- Gideon managed to track down a pack of 22 including their pups and they had just done a kill! He got us up close and personal but always making sure we were safe whilst respecting the animals too, we saw female lions protecting their young from a male lion and the list goes in and on! A special mention too to Wilson, our chef - he cooked us wholesome tasty food and always with a smile on his face. The memories we made will stay with us forever- this was our 4th African safari but by far the best- thank you Gideon and his team- you are the best!

Knowledgable, experienced, great value for money
5/5

Gideon has a wealth of experience having been a guide for 37 years for various large safari companies.
Him and his team organised a first class 2 day, 1 night mobile safari for us at very short notice and at a really great price.
We slept in tents with comfortable beds. They also had a shower and latrine out the back which was attached to the tent - to prevent any encounters with animals overnight!
We ate delicious food cooked by Wilson and Lee over the fire and slept to the sounds of hyena's, hippos and lions.
Gideon and Daddy (second guide on our trip) did not stop during our drives to ensure we saw as much as possible. They both had so much knowledge to share with us and it was a pleasure to learn more about the bush.

We also organised a day mokoro trip through Gideon. The delta is unbelievably peaceful and beautiful at the same time as being full of large, and scary animals, such as hippos and crocs. It was an amazing way to experience the delta.

It was just EXCELLENT! Gideon, the guide, THE EXPERT!, He detected even the most difficult animals!
5/5

The whole team was wonderful! Professional, caring, warm and joyful. We became a little family in only four days...we miss you. Our hearts are still with you! Your advises helped us through the rest of our trip!

13 days of being eye to eye with Bostwana’s wildlife thanks to a most incredible guide
5/5

My family’s experience with Afticanjacana Safari company way exceeded our expectations. We spent two weeks living in the midst of elephants, lions, hippos, zebras, antelopes, leopards and the most incredible birds. Gideon, our guide with 30 years of experience, by often following their tracks, lead us to within just a few meters of these magnificent wild creatures. The first time we came eye to eye with a lioness who approached our open Jeep with her cubs we all felt rather scared. But we soon realized that Gideon, with his extensive knowledge and ability to read the body language of these animals, knew exactly when it was safe to be in close proximity and when it was better to keep our distance. To be so close to these beautiful animals was simply breathtaking! Imagine watching a family of leopards feasting on an antelope it had hung high in a tree fork, or observing a group of 30 elephants walk by your camp site, gently and quietly! While we were initially a little apprehensive about camping in the wild, we learned from Gideon, who has 30 years of experience, how to be completely safe in the wilderness. And speaking of camping: We were not roughing it. Our tents were equipped with cots, mattresses, pillows and sheets and our own private bathrooms in the back. We even had our own portable sinks which were filled in the early morning with hot water (yes heated on the fire pit) and warm showers in the afternoon. The food was delicious and included fresh bread baked daily in a pot on the fire. Lastly, Gideon and the two staff members who accompanied us were lovely engaging people who were very fun to be with and who allowed us to gain some insight into their culture.
Africanjacana, which is very reasonably priced, is one of very few Safari companies that are locally owned (most are operated by South Africans or Europeans) and that is very environmentally conscious. They leave no trace behind. By booking directly with them, and not through a travel agency, we saved a lot of money. This trip was truly exceptional. I cannot recommend Africanjacana highly enough.
