Jakes is an excellent and very professional guide with a great sense of humor, what connects the group ( trip to South - Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland) Gives the right infirmation at the right place and is very friendly. When there are problems, he stays calm and has a great talent for organisation.  In one word Awesome!! 

Jakes was a wonderful guide.  He was very friendly,   patient,  knowledgable, experienced, and fun to be with for 10 days.  He looked after us enough to make us feel safe in what we were doing.  We particularly liked his insights to the history of South Africa and his thoughts of the future.  He truely loves his country.  We cannot recommend him highly enough.

Jakes was an absolute wonderful tour manager, patient,  knowledgeable, comical,  very resourceful , and thorough. We were so fortunate to have someone who truly has a love for his country and his showing visitors the heart of soul of  it. We learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed our time visiting South Africa and Zimbabwe.   He has a wonderful personality in which we saw a little more as each day passed.   He was certainly one of the highlights of our trip.
