Jakes is a fantastic guide! We saw lions, elephants, giraffes as well as rhino’s and lots of other wild life. Jakes got his clients best interest at hart and will make sure that you have value for your money. It was an absolute wonderfull and amazing experience!
Thanks so much for the kind words, Annelie! I'm really glad you enjoyed the experience and that we had such a great variety of sightings! I always try to make sure my guests get the most out of every drive, so it means a lot to hear you felt it was worth it. Hope to have you back in the bush sometime soon!
Excellent game viewing. 10 cats in one day. 5 x lions and 5 x leopards. Saw 4/5 of the Big-5. No rhino present during the trip. Loads of birds.
Thank you for the great review! It was an exceptional day with some fantastic sightings. Even though we missed the rhino, I’m glad we could see so much wildlife, including nearly all of the Big 5 and a variety of birdlife. Hope to see you again for another unforgettable experience!
Just gorgeous! We did 4 days of safari at best, we could not ask for more. Jakes is a Pro. He organized the outings both in the morning and in the evening so he allowed us to see all the animals, especially leopards and Lions, with snack and aperitif at sunset very good. It also allowed us to live a unique experience with elephants, where we had the opportunity to touch them and feed them. Highly Recommendation.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you had an amazing time on safari. It’s fantastic that you got to interact with the elephants and learn about the savannah's wildlife. Your recommendation means a lot to us, y esperamos verte de nuevo para más experiencias inolvidables.
Phenomenal experience and service from start to finish! Jakes and Colette from All or Nothing Adventures made our trip to South Africa utterly special. Their knowledge, dedication, and enthusiasm for the African bush made our experience so rich and memorable. We look forward to booking more activities with them in the future!
Thank you so much for your glowing review! We're overjoyed to hear that we helped make your trip to South Africa truly special. Our passion for the African bush and dedication to creating unforgettable experiences is something we take great pride in. We can’t wait to welcome you back for more adventures in the future!
Two attempts at reservations and two refusals... refusal in the morning for a safari at 4pm! Really hard to arrange are schedule with this tour operator.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand your frustration, and we're sorry for any inconvenience caused. However, we strive to maintain a high level of service, and part of that includes ensuring that we do not overbook our safaris. Unfortunately, we were already fully booked at the time of your requests, which is why we had to decline. We hope you'll consider booking with us again in the future, perhaps with a bit more advance notice, so we can better accommodate your plans.
Highly recommended, expert and friendly guide, made us feel comfortable at all times. We could see many animals, very good option to spend an afternoon and see the stunning South African sunset.
Thanks for the kind words and 5/5 review. Also enjoyed our time together. Lucky to have seen so many animals.
Leadwood experience with Jakes was fantastic! He learned us a lot about wildlife and we saw lions, hippo's, elephants, giraffes, zebra's, nyala's and more. Jakes and his nice daughter drove us around and we had a lot of fun. The private estate makes that you will not be with many others watching the lions or other animals. Most we had is that we were there with 2 cars.
Thanks for taking the time to give us a 5 star rating ‼️ We certainly had some good sightings 🐘🦛🦒🦓 Biggest issue with any sighting in open reserves are traffic. Good control with two way radio’s, eliminates that problem completely 👍🏼 Hope our paths will cross again in future 🙏🏼
The excursion with Jakes was a great experience. We have seen many animals and Jakes has told a lot, which makes an excursion even more interesting! It was cold though, the blankets in the car came in handy!
Goed om te horen dat jullie de excursie met mij als gids zo'n geweldige ervaring vonden! Ik ben blij dat jullie veel dieren hebben gezien en ik heb er alles aan gedaan om jullie interessante informatie te geven. Natuurlijk is het belangrijk om comfortabel te blijven, vooral als het koud is. Gelukkig waren de dekentjes in de auto handig om jullie warm te houden tijdens de rit. Bedankt voor de leuke tijd en ik hoop dat jullie nog meer onvergetelijke avonturen beleven in de toekomst! Regards to the rest of the family and enjoy your microlight flight tomorrow!
It was our first game drive with two small kids in the early morning. Jakes and his friend give us as a family a memorable time. The are really sweet and kind people with a lot of animal-knowledge, organized a break with coffee and cookies on a beautiful place, which was also a safe place for the children, between fences on an airstrip. Thanks again. Fleur, Rob, Valentijn en Marie.
Your children were very well behaved and we enjoyed the time together. Thank you for taking the time to write us a review and we hope to see you back sometime in future again.
Highly recommended, very friendly, competent, exciting was really great. We would book again. Was a lot of fun, can now even tell the difference between the feces 😊
Thanks so much for taking the time to give us feedback on your safari. Glad you learned so much. Hoffe, dich irgendwann in der Zukunft wiederzusehen
