We grow things big in Africa! African Tortoises are the largest mainland tortoises in the world and often reach weights of well over 100 pounds. These beautiful creatures can live up to 70 years of age. They're personable, but please don't sit on them!

Meerkat Tours? Yes, we do that but be prepared to rise early! Meerkats venture outside their burrows in the early morning hours to search for food, so these tours depart well before sunrise. An easy add-on to our popular Victoria Falls to Windhoek tour - https://jjafricatours.com/trip/victoria-falls-windhoek-accommodated/

What appears to be a strange ph***ic symbol in the sand is actually a termite mound! We found these amazing examples of natural architecture on a recent trip, near Windhoek, Namibia.

These highly complex, climate-controlled structures are biological mysteries. Scientists continue to study them and architects take inspiration from their efficient design.

Thank-you to Moni for the wonderful thoughts she shared about us on Trip Advisor! Moni and her group from Germany have traveled with us many times, and it is always a privilege.

"We had a very well organized trip. The overnight stays were partly in tents and hotel rooms. The catering and personal care was excellent. The experienced tour guide gave us incredibly impressive encounters with animals. Flora and fauna as well as national culture were brought to us deeply."

"The Big Five", the highly coveted 'safari royalty' - Elephant, Cape Buffalo, Lion, Rhino and Leopard. These amazing animals received that title from early big game hunters, these were believed to be the hardest and most dangerous to hunt. At JJ Africa Tours, we only hunt with our cameras, but we have had the rare privilege of spending some time with each of these animals. Join us on a tour - and we'll show our our Authentic Africa.

We are fortunate enough to have captured this amazing experience with elephants in the Okavango Delta in Botswana. 😍 Lonely Planet writer, Paula Hardy, wrote the delta is “the closest thing to Eden left on the planet”. We wholeheartedly agree.

Our African continent isn't just about the big game - according to the African Bird Club, almost 2,700 bird species have been seen in Africa! Like the amazing weaver...have you ever seen the intricate nests of the weavers? These little birds tie real knots in nesting material with their beaks and feet to create these beautiful structures. While you may find many varieties of weavers, they will all breed and build their nests together in colonies, for protection.

More from our game drive in Etosha National Park in Namibia. This incredible place has a salt pan so big it can be seen from space! Waterholes give us the opportunity to silently observe wildlife in their natural environment. How beautiful are these animals?!?! 😍

If culture and history excite you, then you need to add Great Zimbabwe National Monument to your list of must-see sites. The ruins of the city of Great Zimbabwe is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, an important archaeological site and believed to have been built in the 11th century. It is the largest single ruins site on the continent of Africa, and you can easily spend a few hours exploring it. In our opinion – not to be missed!

The Okavango Delta in Botswana - another of Africa’s treasures. It is a vast and fascinating eco-system that is best explored on a "mokoro", a traditional dug-out canoe. These water crafts allow us to advance quiet and stealthily, offering great wildlife viewing opportunities. Learn more about travelling Botswana - https://jjafricatours.com/destinations/botswana/.

Have you ever experienced the raw beauty of Victoria Falls? This amazing sight was described by tribes living in the area in the 1800’s as ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’ or “The Smoke that Thunders”. The noise from the falls can be heard from a distance of over 40 km away!
