NEXT STOP: GEORGIA - A FOOTNOTES X JAMBO EXPERIENCE
ABOUT THIS TRIP
Somewhere between the rush of our daily lives and the dreams we keep putting off, we lose sight of the little things—the quiet pauses, the deep exhales, the simple joy of being present. Footnotes was created for these moments, curating experiences that help us reconnect with our mind, body, and soul, reminding us that the smallest details often hold the greatest meaning.
With Jambo, we’re creating a trip that shakes us out of routine and into something bigger. Built for those who crave the unknown, we’re taking travellers off the beaten path, making bold adventures feel effortless, safe, and deeply connected.
This journey to Georgia is one where adventure is not just about how far we go, but how deeply we feel. Here, beneath vast open skies and rolling vineyards, we’ll pause. And somewhere along the way, we might just find the part of ourselves we’ve been too busy to notice. This is more than a trip. It’s a reset.

TRAVELLER REVIEWS
Traveling with Jambo was effortless and epic! We got an authentic and VIP experience without the stress of planning. I wouldn't have been able to plan a trip like that even if i had all the time in the world. It was non-stop adventure with a fantastic group of like-minded people. We covered it all - food, nature, culture. All i had to do was show up and enjoy. I can't wait for my next jambo adventure!
Kara Bennett
We had a blast! The experiences were amazing, the places we visited were beautiful and food was incredible. The best part was that we just showed up to the airport; no planning or research needed! We usually plan our own holidays but it was a really nice change to just show up and have an amazing trip!
We love the approach taken by Mel and team too, going to places not on the typical tourist radar to support the local economy and community. Already looking forward to our next trip with Jambo!
Tim and Oli
This was such an amazing and memorable experience. The all-inclusive tour had visits to unique wineries, and allowed me to savour a diverse range of exquisite wines. The grape-picking experience added a hands-on touch, making me appreciate the winemaking process even more. The authentic local food and the hosting by true locals added a personal and welcoming touch to the entire journey. Overall, it was a fantastic blend of cultural immersion and wine appreciation. Will definitely be back for more tours in the future!
