Jainer made an interesting trip into an unforgettable experience
We have travelled extensively over the past 20 odd years, with the services on many guides observing the natural world Jainer is without doubt an excellent guide. He has a considerable depth of knowledge of animal life around bird,reptile amphibians arachnids,their habitats and environments.His clear concise information is as detailed as you would want it to be,he welcomes questions and the more we asked the more we learned. He is good natured,good humoured and made our 2 trips with him….we also did the night tour….a memorable experience expanded our understanding and knowledge and above all we had a great time

Unforgettable experience
It has been an unforgettable experience, Jainner, our guide, explained them with a lot of pedagogy, taught us the nest of many birds and we were lucky enough to see many of them. I recommend it.
