Wild Africa Safaris and Jenman provide the perfect introduction to your first experience of Africa
After our extensive research, the varied itinerary for our 18 day adventure in Zimbabwe (the falls, Hwange NP, Matobo Hills-rhinos, Madigapani salt pans-meerkats, Nata bird sanctuary-flamingoes), Botswana (Chobe NP, Khwai, Kalahari desert, Okavunga delta) and South Africa (Kruger NP) was amazing, especially for active over 60s, who have travelled extensively. In addition to game drives, we had a walking safari, mokoro / canoe trip, stayed on a house boat, and saw ancient cave paintings plus Victoria Falls. The lodges and glamping were much better than expected, especially Nantwich, Mankwe and Maqueda. No children. Maximum group size 12 (9 on our tour-all English speaking). Delicious food (except the optional mopane worms). Fantastic value for money. I highly recommend using Robert Francis of Wild Africa Safaris, Australia to taylor make your tour. He is extremely efficient and a great communicator. We booked our tour before covid and Robert maximised our refunds

Robert was very professional, efficient and a pleasure to deal with.
What an amazing African safari trip! Robert provided our group with a fantastic itinerary, including beautiful lodges, unique houseboat experiences, luxurious tents and plenty of scrumptious meals. All our guides were so informative and friendly, and the safari's were exceptional. In terms of service and communication from Robert, he is definitely one of the best travel providers I've come across. Well done.

Wild Africa Travel Company for Ovavango Delta experience
Wild Africa Travel Company suggested Oddballs Camp for our trip to the Okavango in Botswana. We wanted to be among the animals and away from the sounds of vehicles and this was perfect for us - a couple in our early 60s. Oddballs Camp was great and the staff fantastic. We enjoyed great meals with the other guests. The accommodation felt like we were in Africa and was more than adequate for our bush experience. We chose to camp out two nights, reaching the camp spot by mokoro, with just our guide and one assistant. Magic! When we weren't doing walks with our guide (sometimes for four hours) identifying footprints, poo, animals and learning about animal behaviour, we were at the camp enjoying cups of tea, hot showers to wash the dust off and watching animals come to the water. It was an ongoing wildlife documentary! We want to do it again.

Nothing too much trouble, especially during the difficult times of Covid, having to rebook twice
My husband and I booked through the Australian agent, Wild Africa Travel Company, onto the Jenman African Safaris "21 Day Great Trans-African Lodge Safari". Through three years of interruption due to Covid, and refunding payments, including flights, with airline change and then rebooking, there was much tooing and froing but nothing was too much to ask Robert, who kept us well informed right throughout the 3 years!
We chose this tour as the destinations covered all the places of interest for us, and it delivered totally. Our guide and drivers were exemplary and Norbert was the best tour guide we have had, keeping our group of 8 engaged and exceptionally well informed and safe! Lodges first class and meals the same, making the trip good value for the cost. The one issue we had, and we have made this point to Jenman, the about first 14 days we had a hired vehicle that was not as comfortable or equipped as the second vehicle and somewhat disappointing, given the luxury aspect of the rest of the tour. A small thing, but still important. All in all would recommend Both Wild Africa Travel company and Jenman African Safaris without hesitation

Wild Africa - great company to deal with
I would highly recommend Robert from Wild Africa to organise your trip to Africa. After being given a list of of where we wanted to go and things we wanted to see, he put together an amazing month long trip through Botswana, nya and Tanzania, all through email and phone conversations. All flights, transfers and tours connected seamlessly and the Umapped app for storing all documentation is brilliant.
