"I couldn't find you on TripAdvisor, so I'll leave a review here. I just got back from a tour with a company that subcontracted with Jenman. Everything seemed to flow well, and Rex and Mats were great guides, full of knowledge and easygoing with a large group. They also were very talented trackers, especially Rex. I mean, Rex spotted a porcupine on the night drive with a spotlight. What the what? It was crazy. I really enjoyed Botswana and will look forward to returning again. There was some confusion about our accommodations; one of the reservations were cancelled and then we were promised a tented camp which didn't end up being the one we actually stayed at...this caused some issues with long drives because I don't think we were at the place we were supposed to be. Since I don't know where that mix up happened, I'll keep this at 5 stars due to the experience with the guides and the stays/drives at the other locations, which were great."

"I loved my 2013 trip to Africa!!! The itinerary rocked as did the accommodations. It fulfilled my expectations beyond my wildest dreams come true. Returning to Africa in 2015 as I loved it very much. Probably will squeeze Costa Rica this year!!!"
