Journey with Jonathan

South Africa 2025 



WHAT OUR PAST GUESTS HAVE TO SAY...


"I was told this was going to be a great trip , and it was outstanding. The extra pluses meeting everyone on the trip and hoping we will continue to keep in touch"

Janice and Parthenia


"The JB trip was great and well planned, conceived, and executed. You created a blend of activities and flavor for the country that was memorable. Please continue to introduce unknowing Americans to South Africa. We were so glad we added Victoria Falls to the agenda. As with all of your plans, the transfers and hotel arrangements and side trips were great.  The falls tour was a must and the evening river cruise was a surprise treat"

Don and Lynne      


Just wanted to thank you and the Butlers’ (Jonathan and Nadira) for the wonderful experience in visiting South Africa.

More than just a  safari, this trip is a cultural experience highlighting all the uniqueness and beauty of South Africa along with the many challenges and needs of this emerging country. Jonathan shares himself so that you experience South Africa through his native eyes. Everything about this trip is first class, memorable and a once-in-a-lifetime trip that should not to be missed!"

This is just a note to let you know how much we enjoyed our recent trip to South Africa. I had no idea that I would be impacted so much as I still dream of being there. All of the arrangements – the accommodations, restaurants, excursions and transportation were first class and reflected your attention to detail. Thanks to you and JB for such an intimate experience."

Karen and Nate



"We had a fantastic time and are still talking about the trip every single day. Thank you for coordinating the stay. The accommodations were immaculate and the hippo eating grass on the lawn in the evening...that made it extra special! Please know we enjoyed every single minute. We have learned so much, and we are inspiring others to make the trip. The culture is rich, the land is beautiful, and the people...well, they challenge our spirits to be great, do right, and shine bright."

Precious and Fern



"Unbelievable experience, I will never be the same. Our hosts were wonderful and all the tour guides , bus drivers were terrific. The Mount Nelson hotel and Kapama Private Game Reserve were both exquisite. I will always remember this as a trip of a lifetime that you want everyone to experience."

Genevia


"I am just speechless. It will take a lot to top this trip. God Bless to all."

Marie



"Our trip to South Africa together was so meaningful. I came home with an overwhelming feeling of gratitude. What I learned in S.A. will stay with me always... the power of forgiveness, kindness, a connection to our earth that I've never felt so deeply, and how music is so vital and nourishing!!"

Beth and Shaina



"I can’t begin to thank you enough for what was BY FAR the best vacation we have ever taken..."

John and Sheryl
