5.0/5Jen and her team (Donna helped us) are wonderful. They helped every step of the way and made sure we knew exactly what we needed. Our journey to Mozambique was hassle free. We stayed at Sonambula in Tofu area. The accommodation was lovely - a stones throw from the beach with the most incredible home made breakfast every day. We will definitely make use of Just Do Destinations again!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Wilma Nichols of JD Destinations to plan a vacation to Zimbabwe and I must say, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. What’s more, our request to her was at short notice but despite that she managed to propose an itinerary that met our needs. This is our first time visiting Zimbabwe so we had rely on her knowledge and experience of the best national parks and reserves to visit and the best safari camps to host us. We also wanted to spend a few days at Victoria Falls on our way back and Wilma arranged all our accommodations and activities including an amazing helicopter ride over the falls. Once we arrived at our destination all our arrangements went really well thanks to the excellent planning and attention to detail provided by Wilma and that included our light aircraft charters between the camps and Victoria Falls. What really impressed us was the level of personalisation Wilma provided. She took the time to understand our specific travel preferences and interests and tailored our itinerary to ensure that every aspect of our trip was perfectly suited to our needs. Throughout the entire planning process, Wilma was always available to answer our questions and concerns and provided regular updates on the status of our bookings. Even during our vacation Wilma kept in touch with us to ensure everything went to plan. We felt confident and well informed throughout the entire experience. This is our second experience working with Wilma and we cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking to plan an unforgettable vacation. The level of service and expertise provided by Wilma was truly exceptional and we look forward to working with her again in the future.

Dear Wilma & Ray, what shall I say that is not already said in the reviews before? We are still blown away by the great vacation you have organized for us. Every time we meet again since our return, we talk about the special situations you have organised for us and the great unique memories we collected. You have been such a great partner in all of the preparation, taking care about every special and weird wished I have put forward, always carefully listing what we are looking for and coming back with well thought through advice. Even more impressive is the service and enthusiasm we experienced with you during our travel. With normal agencies the moment you are out of the door starting the journey, you are left to your own. Not so with you. Both of you have been with us on every step of the journey, making sure everything is like we had planned for or better, figuring out last minute changes in covid protocols and sharing our enthusiasm on the many exciting moments and surprises you have organised. Your work and dedication to providing a great, very individual service, going above and beyond the normal, made this trip a unique experience especially for me and our little group. We started as a client and customer, but now - if I may say - we became friends and I'm looking forward to start planning our next adventures with you.

My experience with Wilma has been nothing short of excellent! She is knowledgeable, has a great personality was amazing from beginning to end. All responses were prompt and professional (she even took my calls on a Sunday evening). When we first chatted, she was friendly, patient, and helpful in helping us find what we were looking for, she really went above and beyond to find the best options for us. I truly love the top notch friendly and very professional service I received from Wilma, thank you so much for such a WONDERFUL experience. Taniya Saffy
