Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines Updated on January 31, 2023 Share Tweet Pin Email Photo: Courtesy of Respective Travel Advisor For Jones, the most memorable Africa trips are those that tap into travelers’ passions. For wine enthusiasts, that means cellar tours in South Africa’s Stellenbosch region; for a family of animal lovers, it’s private access to the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary, in northern Kenya. Jones knows the right camps, lodges, and hotels to suit any traveler's taste. Her clients can meet penguin researchers at Boulders Beach outside Cape Town, women entrepreneurs in Nairobi, or gorilla experts in Uganda. But what sets her apart is her one-on-one relationships developed over decades—her close friendship with legendary South African hotelier Liz Biden, for example, translates to red-carpet service for her clients. A particular passion of Jones's is learning about the many cuisines of Africa—and sharing that knowledge with her guests. "I once arranged for Kenyan celebrity chef Kiran Jethwa to spend three days with a family, foraging for local seafood, spices, and mushrooms, then cooking together on safari."

The trip and their service were remarkable! I took my three children to Africa on a separate trip, and the experience could not have been better. I value repeat customers in my business. They are hard to earn and easy to lose without great service. I will be a repeat customer for years to come." - Mike B. Itinerary Southern Africa Family Safari Itinerary Was this page helpful?
