THE WORLD IS OUR OYSTER
They say that eating a fresh oyster is like a quick dip in the ocean, you’re left feeling refreshed, exhilarated and with a lightly salty taste on your lips. The cold, nutrient rich waters along the Garden Route and South West coastline of Africa are well known for growing some of the highest quality oysters in the world. And the best of the best, enthusiastically endorsed by locals and tourists alike, is Oysters R Us, a small restaurant off the beaten track in Wilderness where the hosts really know their stuff. Quickly becoming one of our favourite stops on our ‘World in One Country’ tour, here guests can enjoy a great location, great music and spectacular oysters (with a variety of different toppings to choose from), good wines, craft gin, biscuits and cheeses for those that don't eat oysters. Great for everyone and an experience to remember.
IT’S ALL ABOUT LASTING CONNECTIONS & NOT OVERSIMPLIFYING
Our guests rave about Mike saying that he is "without a doubt THE BEST GUIDE EVER" and mentioning how their trip was more memorable because of him. We love hearing such wonderful comments about our guides and are happy they are providing guests with with the best experience possible. More than a few guests refer to Mike as not only their guide, but now their new friend. We spoke to Mike to find out more about his story and what drives him and inspires him to make such a positive and lasting connection with our guests.
DID YOU KNOW SWAZILAND IS NOW eSWATINI? FIND OUT WHAT ELSE THERE IS TO KNOW...
By now you might have heard that the Royal Kingdom of Swaziland officially has a new name. The country bordered by South Africa and Mozambique is now known as eSwatini which means "place of the Swazi" and is the local Swazi language name for the country. One of the few countries in the world that is still ruled by an absolute monarch, visitors find the small country packs a punch when it comes to authentic experiences, charm, and exhilarating activities. This year the Kingdom celebrates 50 years of independence (from British Rule) and with a new name it’s starting to pop up on travellers radar. Here’s an opportunity to learn more about the country and its attractions, and why you should visit.
8 MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT TRAVEL IN AFRICA
By now most people (hopefully) know that Africa is not a country, but a continent with over 50 independent countries. But some misconceptions still prevail, for instance some tourists honestly are surprised that wild animals are found in fenced game reserves and not wandering the streets of major cities like Nairobi. When guests arrive they are not only astounded by the beauty and diversity but also realize that some of their preconceived ideas were not entirely accurate, This is all part of the travelling experience, but to prepare visitors we have compiled a list of some of the biggest and most common misconceptions.
BOTSWANA - CHAMPAGNE DREAMS ON SPARKLING WINE BUDGET
The Botswana Lodge Explorer is perfect for the client who has champagne dreams on a sparkling wine budget. This trip, that closely resembles a high end fly-in safari due to its shorter travelling distance and compact highlights, includes a flight over the Okavango Delta which doubles as transport to your next destination as well as a scenic experience that is usually arranged at an extra cost. Guests experience all the must-see wildlife areas of Botswana in a shorter and more convenient time frame and leave satisfied and relaxed.

CELEBRATING THE WOMEN OF JENMAN AFRICAN SAFARIS
August is Women's month in South Africa and on 9 August we celebrate Women's Day, to commemorate the 1956 march of approximately 20 000 women to the Union Buildings in Pretoria to petition against the country's discriminatory pass laws. It's a period to celebrate the strength, unity, and leadership of women. Our CEO Katja Quasdorf is a woman who worked her way up to her position as a junior German intern to an experienced young woman now running the company. Jenman African Safaris is incredibly proud of its diverse staff and multicultural office environment, and to celebrate Women's month we would like to introduce you to some of the Jenman women who come from various corners of Africa and now live and work in Cape Town for a company that is proudly dedicated to social responsibility.
