Lived up to expectations and would go again.
We really enjoyed our safari. Our driver in Tanzania, Victor, was just wonderful . Always managed to get us front and center on animal viewing. We were always first and sometimes the only vehicle to sit and watch leopards or cheetahs. He was always so very patient and helpful and a really good bloke.
The places we stayed were very good. Every single one, from lodges to tented camps. We especially loved the camp in the Serengeti, Kisura Kenzan Tented Camp, as the staff were always so happy and helpful and joined in with us around the fire and on walks etc. They even took us thru their tented kitchen so we could see how they managed to feed us the amazing meals.
Speke Bay Lodge on the waters edge was a relaxing respite for the heat and the canoe trip organised by the owner, to a fishing village across the lake was so worthwhile, to really wake us up as to how some other people live. The people in the village were all happy to see us , but its an eye opener for sure. Something every western child should see.
Our meals were more than adequate and always plenty of choice.
Bench Africa, in Sydney, Australia, organised the whole safari , plus a couple of extended days either side, and we could not fault them either.
We cant wait for covid shots so we can go again.

Trip of a lifetime
We just got back from a 21 day safari with Jenman Safaris. We started at Victoria Falls, traveled through Botswana, Namibia and ended in Cape Town, South Africa. We did a 1/2 camping, 1/2 lodging trip and the entire trip was beyond our wildest dreams. We had an incredible tour guide (thank you Jorge), the accommodations ranged from modest to what we would consider 5 star, the food was always good. The trip was well organized and took us to a variety of places including small villages, national parks and cities. I still can't believe the number of animals that we saw or the different landscapes. I would recommend this trip and Jenman Safaris for anyone that wants to have a great African experience.
Our guide was very amiable, and knowledgable. The food was excellent as were the tents and sleeping bags provided. My only criticism is that they allocated a minibus for the 10 of us with small windows not suitable for game watching, as opposed to the vans which are advertised on their website.
