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!

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!

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!
