Garth Jenman, the founder of JENMAN African Safaris, started his journey many years ago with Camp Wild, where his reputation as a trailblazer in the safari industry grew. In the early days, Garth’s passion for wildlife and adventure led him to focus on creating unforgettable safari camping trips and over time, Garth’s expertise laid the groundwork for the establishment of a company that would bring African travel experiences to new heights.
“I didn’t imagine we’d ever grow to this size. It’s thanks to our hard working staff that drives the business forward.” – Garth
Garth started with one vehicle and guided most tours by himself. It wasn’t all plain sailing although he needed to get to know the workings under the engine hood intimately as he had to be the mechanic as well as a tour operator. He persevered and today JENMAN African Safaris is one of the leading safari travel operators in Southern Africa, East Africa and Madagascar.
“We evolve as a company and as our clients’ needs change, we change along with them.” – Garth

Jenman African Safaris will take care of all your travel requirements from the moment you arrive to the day you leave. You don’t need to book ‘this’ with one company and ‘that’ with another. Come to us and we can help you with flights, transfers, accommodation, day trips and even tailor-made adventures. Or read our most frequently questions. Our rates are competitive. We offer great prices without compromising on value. We believe that value at affordable rates is one of the most important factors when choosing a safari.
Our safaris are priced at an all-inclusive price – which means that if you are visiting a national park, for example, the costs include both the access and the activity. We don’t just drive you there and then expect you to pay the fee. Some tour operators expect you to pay the entrance fee to the activity yourself; we don’t. Some safari companies may cost less but, we always advise clients when comparing to see what’s included and what’s not – you may be in for a surprise! There’s nothing worse than having to use your spending money for activities and meals that you thought were included. For this reason we have priced our safaris at an all-inclusive rate. Our travel consultants know our tours like the back of their hands. If you have any questions or queries, just drop them an email or use our live chat function on the website. We know the secret gems, the best places to go and what animals you will see on your safari! Chat to us online.
We have tried and tested all our products ourselves! We experience it before you do so that we can give you the best travel adventure. And how do we measure that? If we love it and would like to do the trip again – then it’s a success! We have strict standards for all the accommodation we use, vehicles that we travel in and the places we visit. We only offer products that meet our standards.
