ABOUT US

Growing into another season of safari excellence We are thrilled to announce that the 2025 season has seen a good bounce back from our international markets. Over the last five years, we have seen incredible growth as people have once again embraced safari travel in Africa. This upswing has been a result of post-pandemic planning, the sense of adventure in the human spirit, and the ongoing efforts of our amazing team at Jenman Safaris.

We would like to formally recognize our dedicated Tailor-made team who consistently deliver the best experiences for our clients. Our biggest growth this year has been in our Tailor-made tours; our exclusive tailor-made packages are thoughtfully created to capture the heart of every chosen destination. Each tailor-made safari is a personalized journey, carefully planned to match individual interests and travel style.

When guests travel with the people who matter most—their family, group, or close friends, they enjoy the freedom and privacy to explore at their own pace. We always put our best foot forward to provide exciting and unique safari options.

And when we consistently receive outstanding feedback from our clients, it reaffirms that we are delivering our very best.

We have launched two new tailor-made products this year – firstly, our Signature Journeys is a collection of exclusive safaris created for travelers seeking the ultimate in luxury and

adventure. With personalized itineraries, flexible travel options, exceptional service, and premium accommodations, these tailor-made journeys offer a distinctive way to explore Africa’s most beautiful and remote destinations.

Secondly, we have Out of Africa – getting back to basics, these tours will start at a premium lodge at the beginning and end of each tour, and in between, the itineraries allow guests to stay at an exclusive fully catered mobile camp.

This will be at special remote location that guests are normally unable to access from other lodges.

Each game drive will be a private and exclusive wildlife experience.

We are proud to offer these new products as we grow into another season of safari excellence.

Best Regards, Johann Barnard & Garth Jenman

Our Burning Issues for 2026

The Bridge between Challenges

DINGANI PRIMARY SCHOOL

and Solutions, Good Will and Action

Dingani Primary is a rural school in Zimbabwe, close to Hwange National Park. As well as supporting a variety of conservation awareness projects and school maintenance programs, our foundation supports the school through the following initiatives:

The Grow Africa Foundation was created by Jenman African Safaris and Hideaways with the aim of making a positive and sustainable impact on the environment, society and economy in the places we visit.

Early Childhood Development Teacher The ECD class at Dingani typically has in excess of 100 students aged 3 to 5 years old and only one government subsidised teacher. The Grow Africa Foundation is looking to maintain the ECD teacher position at the school long-term.

Our mission is “To be the Bridge between Challenges and Solutions, Good Will and Action.”

We encourage you to get involved in making a meaningful difference through our various platforms and opportunities.

You Can Help: By sponsoring a teacher’s salary at US$200 a month

You Can Help! To find out more visit: www.growafricafoundation.org

You Can Help: By sponsoring a child’s education for one year with a donation of US$ 30

Dingani Scholarship Fund More than 50 % of the students cannot afford school fees (US$ 30 / Year). In 2019 the Grow Africa Foundation awarded scholarships to 12 students and in 2025 we intend to increase this to 14 students.

Project Penya: Each year we supply a set of washable sanitary pads and panties to every Grade 6 girl at Dingani Primary, allowing them to continue coming to school during their monthly menstruation. This is accompanied by an invaluable 3-day life-skills workshop for the whole class covering topics as diverse as health and hygiene, conflict resolution and leadership. As part of our pledge to support local businesses, the washable pads are made for us in the community.

You Can Help: By buying a set of washable pads for a Dingani schoolgirl (US$ 25)

03

THE GROW AFRICA FOUNDATION

ROSMEAD PRIMARY SCHOOL Rosmead Primary in Cape Town is close to our office and close to our hearts. The Big Five Club, made up of Jenman volunteers, visits the school weekly to assist with the school’s aftercare and Jenman provides transport for educational day trips and local hikes. In 2019, with the help of the Belgotex foundation, we re-surfaced the preprimary playground, giving them a green and safe space to play. Our next fundraising initiative is for a much-needed dining area for the children.

You Can Help: By donating to the Rosmead Primary School dining area appeal

GROW AFRICA LEVY The Grow Africa Levy contributes towards education, conservation and community upliftment in the Hwange area. This ensures the area and its surrounds are secure and protected

THE JENMAN PLEDGE With every booking received to the value of R10 000 or more, R50 (5$ or EUR5) is donated to Grow Africa. This covers all our overheads and contributes to developing, launching and subsidizing new projects.

You Can Help: By booking a Jenman African Safaris holiday!

Get Involved We always need help, so if you would like to get involved please contact: info@growafricafoundation.org Registered in December 2015 Registration Number 163-738 NPO

GUIDED GROUP SAFARIS

YOUR GUIDE A professional guide leads the group throughout their journey. All our qualified guides have been carefully selected to provide an exceptional safari experience for our guests.

MEALS Most breakfasts and dinners are included and are provided by the lodges’ restaurants. Lunches that are included will be either at the lodge or picnic lunch will be provided by the lodges. On some occasions, the guide may prepare a traditional open-air meal around the fire for a wonderfully authentic African experience.

ACCOMMODATION Our Guided Lodge Safaris offer mid-range to slightly up-market African lodge accommodation in national parks, concessions and other places of interest. Accommodation is a mix of lodges, chalets, and tented chalets – all with private bathrooms. Wherever possible we use smaller, authentic lodges rather than big hotels for a more intimate experience.

PARK FEES AND ACTIVITIES On some of our safaris an additional park or activity fee may apply.

This fee will be payable prior to travel along with (and not included in) the main tour fare. Examples include entrance fees to national parks and other attractions, as well as for local guides or miscellaneous items such as fresh fruit from the markets we visit. This fee is indicated as Park Fees and Activities in the brochure under the tour’s rates.

MADAGASCAR EAST AFRICA SOUTHERN AFRICA

These tours are expertly designed for travellers who want to see the highlights of a country, or in some cases multiple countries, with like-minded people. With set departure dates, these safaris are curated to make the most of the best game-viewing seasons, and are often more affordable than a tailor-made tour. Skilled guides provide valuable insight along the way and enable guests to experience the true beauty and allure of the African continent.
