Cambodia and Vietnam Adventure

We traveled to Cambodia and Vietnam for three weeks in October, 2017. We are an active retired couple traveling with our 86 year old uncle whose mobility is limited. Jacada had several phone interviews with us in the planning stages to learn as much as they could about what we wanted to see, where we wanted to go and our traveling styles. They definitely fulfilled our expectations for the kinds of experiences we wanted to have, and for us that meant getting out into the countryside and having contact with the rural populations.

We can’t say enough about the quality of the trip. The hotel accommodations were well appointed, immaculate, with friendly, gracious staff. The guides were knowledgeable and helpful, the drivers made us feel comfortable and safe in the midst of crazy traffic. The trip included two cruises, one on the Mekong River and one on HaLong Bay, both run by Heritage Lines which we would highly recommend to anyone traveling in this region. The planned activities and the pace of travel were all excellent. So my uncle could participate there were always wheelchairs provided, and rides in sidecars, rickshaws, tuktuks, and cyclos around the cities.

Should we need a travel company to help with more travel we will certainly call on Jacada. They won’t disappoint!

Jacada Travel

We planned our trip with Tessa van der Walt at Jacada Travel in NorthernTanzania. This was our second trip to Africa, so we had certain expectations that on this trip were met and exceeded! Attention to detail was impeccable. But further, the properties and activities that were recommended were very well thought out and planned to provide us with extraordinary experiences. We booked our safari with Legendary Expeditions, a bespoke safari company. The accommodations were outstanding but, more importantly, the people we stayed with were wonderful. We have found that a travel agency is only as good as the people they contract with to provide the services to the client. Jacada we found to surround itself with excellent resources for all aspects of our travel. We would not hesitate to use them again.

Jacada Travel made our first trip to …

Jacada Travel made our first trip to South Africa a memorable one. We did not realize in the correspondence that only duffle bags could be taken on the small aircraft that took us to Singita lodge. This created some logistical issues which for a higher cost, Jacada solved for us.
Other than this minor hitch, they organized a great customized trip from Cape Town until we left from JBG. They were more expensive than couple of other alternatives but it was worth it. Singita Lodge was outstanding

The staff at Jacada are excellent and would highly recommend them to plan your trip. They will be on our list to call for our next trip

Our Best Trip Ever

We had a wonderful experience in Tanzania. Jacada Travel made all the arrangements. The lodges, camps and guides were all fabulous choices. Everything was arranged ahead of time, and all the transfers were efficient and without problems. All of the people that took care of us, from the drivers to the camp managers and safari guides were lovely, professional and excellent. Jacada made it all so easy.

Peru – Honeymoon of a Lifetime

We are very glad we went with Jacada versus a local travel agency. We were a little weary of communicating over the phone and via emails, but the Jacada group have the experience first hand of going to the countries, places, even restaurants you want to visit, and I think with this approach, we knew exactly what we were getting out of a trip because Jacada knew exactly what they were giving. The trip itself was amazing and everything seemed to be taken care of for us. This allowed us to just enjoy our surroundings. So great!

Sicily and Amalfi Coast

Our travel planners listened to what we wanted from our trip to Sicily and devised an itinerary that was everything we asked for. And more. Lovely hotels in each city, excellent guides and drivers throughout, and a number of really fun, unique experiences. Excellent on the ground support as well. Next time, we will ask for a bit of down time in the schedule. But we would definitely work with Jacada again.

If you desire a TRUE vacation, Jacada is the ticket!

Jacada recently worked with my husband and I to plan our 30th anniversary dream trip to Africa. All of our travel, transfers, check ins, and transitions were seamless thanks to the experience and excellence of Jacada’s exceptional staff. During the planning phases we were given tons of information and options. Once we settled on an itinerary we were provided a tremendous amount of information and documentation. We knew exactly what to expect on each leg of our journey. There was ALWAYS a smiling face waiting to greet us and guide us.
Every staff member we dealt with interacted with confidence, knowledge and care. Each step of our journey was truly enjoyable and care free as Jacada worked in the back ground to ensure top notch service and high quality accommodations.
As a result of our experience with Jacada I will never trust my travel plans to be handled elsewhere and will recommend them when ever the opportunity arises.

Fantastic itinerary, outstanding service and attention to our interests. They did such a good job listening, helping and guiding. We were so happy with our honeymoon. Only critique is that they have good inside knowledge on accomodations and other nuances in a country and there were some things that caught us by surprise and we would have appreciated notice about those things.

Amazing Southern African Journy

From start to finish, Jacada Travel did an incredible job of organizing and laying out our almost 3 week trek to South Africa and Namibia. All of the details were attended to, and each individual we met along the way was superb! It would have not been easy to plan our essentially private light aircraft to the remote parts of the country, but Jacada made it seamless and the folks in country from our pilots, to private tour guides were fantastic! We would without reservation use their expertise again – perhaps for our next trip sooner rather than later!

Perfect Honeymoon

My wife and I used Jacada to plan a honeymoon to Tanzania. We wanted to do a week of safari and a week on the beach. Right from the initial phone call (which they did on the weekend, working around our busy work schedules) Jacada made it easy for us. We got back from the trip a few weeks ago and our high expectations were exceeded by trip they had arranged. There are probably cheaper ways to go to Africa, but if you want to have an incredible time and not worry about any of the details, definitely use Jacada.

Jacada. There is no reason to look elsewhere. You’re done!!

Jacada, and specifically Jonny, who arranged our journey through Uganda (2 days gorilla tracking) and Tanzania (7 days Safari and 5 days Zanzibar) was thorough and complete in every aspect of this arduous task for my family of 4. I knew the moment we first spoke and his quick turn around with an itinerary complete with everything we had discussed, that he was the person and company that we would use. Jonny kept in daily contact with us as he proceeded through the numerous bookings. Along the way, due to availability there were some bumps that Jonny dealt with in an open and honest manner always presenting us with options. In the end, we danced with Gorillas and observed the great migration including 3 specatucar crossings. Jonny’s suggested itinerary, which we followed to the letter was clearly well thought out which is not surprising given his vast and intimate knowledge of this region of the world. Unlike most, we started in the north (Serengeti) and ended in the “south,” Tarangire. To a guide, they all said that doing it that way was brilliant. Jonny checked in with us daily along the way and everything clicked without a glitch. Every handoff was smooth and timely. Given the number of lodges and “light aircraft” flights, I was amazed at how smoothly everything went. In summary, it is without any hesitation that I endorse and support Jacada travel for any of your travel needs. We look forward to our next journey with Jacada.
