Jess has a friendly and approachable way about her; right from the get go, she made the group feel relaxed and excited about our  adventure. At the same time, she is an organized, physically capable  and highly competent guide and made us feel confident that we were in good hands. Her understanding of climate and the layout of the land came across during our hike and I particularly enjoyed her knowledge of plants and their medicinal properties. I also thoroughly enjoyed our conversation when I had some one on one time with her during our hike. Her clear enthusiasm about the natural world is palpable and it made me enthusiastic to increase my own awareness.  I also enjoyed the space we were given to contemplate our own lives during our times of silence and contemplation. 

Jess was our guide during a 15 days road trip in Namibia.

We were a group of 7 French people and we had a great time. She s a professional guide who knows the country, loves it and takes a lot of pleasure sharing all she knows about it. Her French is fluent and she likes learning new French expressions!  

Even in a complicated situation, she stays calm and makes sure everyone is OK and safe. 

Thanks again Jess, I hope we ll travel again together! « En voiture Simone ! »

Jess was a guide on a stage of The Rim of Africa hike and she was outstanding.  I wasn't actually fit enough when I began this 10 day walk and Jess was practical and sensitive in her support while managing to balance emotional support and challenging me without being pushy and still balancing the dynamic's of the group.  She has a wonderful way about her which is both strong, resourcesful and connecting.  Her knowledge of nature and the outdoors is excellent and she has the added skill of appearing to be able to read the nuances of people and groups which means I gained more from her than I understood at the time.  This for me makes the best guides when their lessons or guidance continue to come home weeks and even years after you've completed the hike or trail.  Highly Recommend for adults or teens!!
