OUR SAFARI GUIDES…More than just a guide…Your personal travel companion
At Jamboree Africa Tours and Safaris, our guests are the most important people. However besides our guests, our safari driver-guides are equally very important us.
Why you may ask?
When you take a trip with us, most of your time will be spent with your driver-guide. His passion for his job, his knowledge of nature, his driving ability and – most of all – his personality will be key factors in making sure that your safari or trip is memorable. It is through his trained eyes that you will best see and understand the wonders of nature that you are witnessing; through the sharing of his knowledge that you will get a real feeling for the East African wildlife, landscape, culture and its friendly people.
That’s why we take great care in selecting our driver-guides. Knowing their job is simply not enough for us to employ someone as a driver-guide. They must love the land, the animals, the culture and the people and be able to share that love with all our visitors. They must go about their work with a genuine smile and a sense of humour. We have driver-guides who speak English, Chinese, Spanish, French, Italian and German. All our guides are family friendly with good know on how to handle kids while on safari.
We employ and strive to retain only the best in the industry; those with expert knowledge in wildlife, culture, history and other areas of tourist interest. The driver-guides are continually under training on customer service, client’s safety, wildlife and general knowledge. Our guides are registered with the Professional Guides Association and apart from being experts at wildlife identification and behavior; they have ample knowledge on each destinations’ flora and fauna as well as the region’s history and the way of life and culture of the local people.
Our experienced tour guides have always ensured that your yesterday is different from today and leaves you yearning for tomorrow.
