Jakes was a wonderful guide.  He was very friendly,   patient,  knowledgable, experienced, and fun to be with for 10 days.  He looked after us enough to make us feel safe in what we were doing.  We particularly liked his insights to the history of South Africa and his thoughts of the future.  He truely loves his country.  We cannot recommend him highly enough.

Jakes was an absolute wonderful tour manager, patient,  knowledgeable, comical,  very resourceful , and thorough. We were so fortunate to have someone who truly has a love for his country and his showing visitors the heart of soul of  it. We learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed our time visiting South Africa and Zimbabwe.   He has a wonderful personality in which we saw a little more as each day passed.   He was certainly one of the highlights of our trip. 

Jacob (in Afrikaans) was our guide during our 2 weeks trip from Cape Town via Krugerpark to Johannesburg. Jacob proved to be a very experienced guide. He could answer all our questions about the scenery, culture and history of South Africa. He is also entertaining and humerous and very able to make changes in the programme when circumstances demand. We would travel another time with him right away! 

Thanks for the nice trip, Jacob!         In Dutch: Wonderlijk!!!

Had a fantastic 10 day tour w Jakes. He showed us great sights, awesome adventures and we always were safe. He also knows some great restaurants. The trip is a bucket list trip and he certainly fulfilled our bucket!!!

We toured with Jakes through S. Africa....from Johannesburg to Capetown...and everywhere in between!  

Jakes was so nice...so helpful...so knowledgeable...it was a pleasure to have him lead our group.   He was very professional and attentive to the needs and wants of our small group  (15 travelers).

We learned so much about the country and the people!
