Pre-tour Prep
Departure: The Great Trans-African Lodge Safari departs from Terra Africa Guest House, Windhoek. Please note that the daily departure times are a guideline only and are subject to change due to seasonal variations, as well as unforeseen circumstances. The final decision rests with your guide who will advise you at what time you will be departing each day. On the evening of day 1, there will be a meeting presented by your guide, at 18h00, at your lodge. It is imperative that all clients attend this meeting so as not to miss out on any critical information. Whilst it is our every intention to adhere to the above-mentioned itinerary, there may on occasion be a necessity to make alterations in order to make the tour more enjoyable or practical. Therefore please treat the itinerary as a guide only.
Transport: Jenman African Safaris uses fully equipped Toyota Land Cruisers, Sprinters, 12-seater 4×4 safari vehicles or other appropriate vehicles with comfortable seating, large windows for game viewing, a music and PA system.We endeavor to ensure that air-conditioning is provided, however we are unable to guarantee this for vehicles travelling through Namibia. All luggage, besides hand luggage and photo equipment, is carried on the vehicle or trailer roof racks to ensure maximum comfort in the vehicle. Some game drives may be conducted in open-sided safari vehicles. For transfers between Kasane and Victoria Falls or Hwange and Victoria Falls (or vice versa), 2×4 vehicles may be utilised. .
Travelling Time & Distances: All travelling times are affected by road conditions, border crossings, detours and weather conditions, therefore on certain days travelling times may be longer than anticipated especially where there is a lot of distance to be covered. Please keep in mind that the time it takes to travel 100 km in your home country is not equivalent to the time it takes to travel 100 km on African roads, therefore we encourage you to sit back and enjoy the spectacular scenery Africa has to offer. Where possible additional stops will be made to ensure your travelling comfort at all times.
Meals: Where included most breakfasts and dinners will be enjoyed in the restaurants of the various accommodation establishments, however on certain nights the guide will provide an authentic meal for the group, which will be enjoyed together in the evening, often around a camp fire. Please advise us of any special dietary requirements in advance.
Visas: The onus is on the client to organize all visas required to visit Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe prior to departure. Please note that travellers entering Botswana will be required to present a valid international health certificate of vaccination for yellow fever should they originate from or have travelled through countries which have been declared yellow fever infected areas within the preceding 6 months
Travel Insurance: Please note that travel and cancellation insurance is mandatory for every guest travelling with Jenman African Safaris. All insurance is solely the responsibility of our guests. Please ensure you arrange your own insurance with protection for the full duration of your journey to cover personal injury, damage and loss of personal items including but not limited to camera equipment and other electronic items, medical expenses, repatriation expenses and loss of luggage, etc. Please speak to your travel agent if you require assistance.

We do this by instigating and supporting local social and environmental projects.

My family and I have just returned from one of your safari’s (Namibia-Vic falls 19th July-29th July). I have to say that the trip surpassed all our expectations and included too many highlights to mention. We have made life long friends as a result. Non of the above would have been possible if it were not for Charles (Teno) our guide. He was/is simply extraordinary. His attitude, motivation, knowledge and enthusiasm, not to mention his sense of humour were astonishing – you have a gem there and must look after him.
Thank you again for providing such a special experience and we will be travelling again with you next spring to S Africa, this time with my son and his girlfriend joining us.
Best regards
Andrew Kretzschmar and family

Everything went smoothly and our guide, Biggie, and driver, Brighton, were both delightful; fun, helpful, informative and unfailingly cheerful.
I would be very happy to recommend the holiday to anyone thinking of a trip to that area of Africa. The wildlife and scenery were fascinating and the accommodation very comfortable. All the lodges and camps were totally different and all attractive with different things to offer. We also enjoyed the fact that the truck was comfortable and provided good all round vision, especially as the distances covered were often quite long. Having seen the glaringly coloured trucks of other companies, we also appreciated the more muted livery of the truck and the company.
I’m now enjoying reliving the experience sorting through thousands of photos.
Thank you for all your help in answering my queries and booking the optional trips which were also very exciting and a great experience.
Best wishes and many thanks
Sheila Russell
