Karen Scott –
We have just returned from our 4-day safari, a trip of a lifetime guided by JACKON! It was Incredible! From first meeting Jackson, we knew our week of adventures was going to be amazing. He is so personable, kind, and patient, and so knowledgeable and cared only about providing us with the best experience! Jackson’s knowledge of the animals and the landscapes we travelled is vast; we experienced elephants and giraffes and zebras and wildebeests, and my husband’s favourites, the cats up close! So many animals and birds, my husband, a photographer was in his glory! Jackson provided delicious lunches each day and the Land Cruiser was stocked with water and alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages.
We have already shared with our friends the experience Ernest Magic Tours & Safaris provided; it was an unforgettable experience and we hope to return again, We will not hesitate and will look forward to seeing our ‘friend’ Jackson again😊
