Jakes was enthousiasic, very knowledgeble, cooperative and always looking for alternatives when the weather or other local conditions didn't cooperate. We coundn't have wished for a better guide!

A wonderfull Guy. ALways looking for a solution that is the best for the group. We had a great time With jakes and he has an awnser to every question about south africa. 

We toured South Africa for 18 days with a group of 15 travelers, and Jakes was a terrific leader and guide for our group. He is friendly, kind and willing to go "above and beyond" what is required of him.  Jakes did a good job of keeping us on track, giving directions clearly, and organizing all the details to make everything easy and comfortable for everyone throughout our busy itinerary. He provided a great deal of interesting information, and kept us laughing with his genuine sense of humor.  He also kept us safe by checking what was happening along our route in real-time!
