This was a magnificent experience! We have been on several safaris, but our stay at Jaci’s Tree Lodge was by far the most outstanding. The staff, our guide Paul, and all the wildlife were superb. How did you stage a 40 elephant parade, fighting and chasing 8 lions in our direction? Must have taken a great deal of planning! It was an experience of a lifetime. We wish you all a very prosperous new year!
