Jess Tyrrell

For more than 30 years, Odile and I went on trekking every summer to visit various countries and admire the wonder of nature. So, we meet many and many guides - female and male - who made us discover and appreciate their countries.

6 years ago (yet!) in august 2012, we have had the incredible chance that Jessica was our guide during our tour in Namibia: In fact, "Jess" is really an exceptional guide for many reasons:

- Jessica is so kind and calm in every circumstance that this trip has been deeply cool and relaxing. So we could really enjoy our holidays day after day.

- Jessica have a true knowledge of the country, she knows very well the inhabitants and the natural resources and how to share her knowledge; thanks to her, we could learn many things about fauna and flora.

- And, last but not least, Jess is deeply in love with the wilderness and have - and share with the others - a deep respect for all forms of life.

We like to repeat to our friends a single sentence that she said in French with her nice accent: " Si tu aimes le nature, la nature elle te aime…" and which is a perfect summary of her personality.

All along our life we will remember "my night with the hyena", the hunting leopard, my stupid behavior with the rhino and the lion's footsteps around the tents at morning….

By the end, this trip with Jess is "number one" into the long list of our trek memories and we dream to come back in South Africa and do another safari with her ! (.... and see the green ray...)
