Highlights of the Tour

Kruger National Park

The southern section of South Africa’s Kruger National Park is absolutely breathtaking. The region is noted for its plentiful wildlife, with the Crocodile River separating it from green farmland. The river is also a great place to see crocodiles and hippos in their natural habitat. Known as the ‘Southern Circle’, this area of Kruger is particularly well-known for its rhinos and lions, with each pride displaying distinct hunting skills and behaviours, a fascinating spectacle to observe. Visitors interested in history can see old San rock drawings at the Hippo Pool, which provides a look into the area’s rich cultural legacy. The Southern Kruger is a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts, offering incredible game-viewing opportunities in the most spectacular African bushveld.

Santa Maria Peninsula

The Santa Maria Peninsula, nestled below Inhaca Island, is a hidden gem with real Mozambique charm. The charming Machangulo Peninsula, as it is also known, overlooks the beautiful Maputo Bay. The village is surrounded by lush mangroves and features a traditional market and local restaurants, serving delicious Mozambican cuisine. Visitors can indulge in a range of activities, from leisurely boat trips around the glistening bay to thrilling deep-sea fishing and scuba diving adventures. The bay’s turquoise waters are perfect for snorkelling, swimming, kayaking, and water skiing. In the evenings, the gentle sound of waves lapping the shore provides the perfect backdrop for enjoying a sundowner and watching the sunset.

Pre-tour Information

JENMAN Safaris has extensive knowledge and experience in most African Countrie. Throughout the many years we have learnt about a few “Do’s and Don’ts” while travelling in and around Africa. We have therefore developed this list for you to read at your leisure. All tips are not always relevant to all the areas that you travel to – depending on your tour.

Due to a lack of transparent and credible regulation relating to ethically acceptable practices where captive wildlife is concerned, Jenman African Safaris has taken the decision not to support any activities that include physical contact with captive wildlife. We urge you to consider the ethical implications of taking part in any such activity that may be offered at your lodge.

Arriving for Safari

Get some rest on the first day of your arrival – you may need some time to adjust to a different time zone. Rather arrive a day early to rest and start off your tour refreshed and ready for adventure!

Currency

When you need to exchange your currency, avoid any exchanges on the street or in other areas that may seem suspect. Always note that even when people approach you with an, e.g., 50% premium exchange rate offer, this exchange is considered part of the black market and is illegal! Hotels, Camps and Lodges can change money, but sometimes the rate is slightly lower. We recommend that you visit an accredited Bureau de Change.

Credit Cards

Credit cards such as Visa and MasterCard are widely accepted in most areas as well as at bigger hotels and lodges.

Hospitals and Pharmacies

The larger towns in Southern Africa have pharmacies and hospitals, but you should always make sure you have enough of your medicine in case the pharmacies/hospitals don’t stock them.
