Luxury Africa Safaris

Jonny and his team at Jacada turned our South African adventure into the trip of a lifetime! I grew up in South Africa and had always wanted to go back. Time and distance never allowed it. But In early March my husband and I were sitting in our living room and quite impulsively decided to take our 3 year old son and head for South Africa. One catch- we had to leave in 20 days. But who could plan a trip from Washington, D.C. to South Africa in just 20 days? We called Jacada in London, and it was one of the best decisions we've ever made. We don't know how Jonny and his team did it, but 4 days later we had an unbelievable itinerary taking us back home to Johannesburg, then up into Krueger for Safari for 5 nights, onto a remote and unbelievably gorgeous island off the coast of Mozambique (Bazaruto) and then back for one last wonderful night in South Africa. When the day came, we packed up our 3 year old son and left for what was the most luxurious trip we've ever been on. Every airport we arrived in, expediters met us at the door of the aircraft leading us through immigration, out to waiting drivers, who then whisked us off to beautiful hotels. We were paired with experienced and wonderful drivers, trackers, and rangers who frankly we fell in love with throughout our trip. The people we met along the way, we will never forget. After each destination we felt a deep sadness leaving, and once arriving at the next location, lost once again in a world of luxury and adventure. Being able to sit with my boys in the middle of the Bush and watch the sun set, was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. From nightfall in leopard territory amongst the riverbed, to sunrise on the Indian Ocean, we 2 dads and our son were treated with exemplary respect and kindness from every person we came into contact with. In what was an extremely special moment, Jacada even made it possible for me to take my boys and visit the house I grew up in. It will remain one of the most remarkable moments of my life. We will absolutely be booking our future vacations with Jacada. Jacada travel is luxury, adventure, efficiency, and kindness all rolled into one, and we are forever grateful. From two dads and one little guy who disappeared into the wild for 2 weeks and returned with the greatest sense of life- we are very grateful to you Jonny and the rest of the Jacada Team. Stellar work, you've enriched our souls.
