EYES ON AFRICA

About Us - Our African Safari Travel Company & Safari Guides

James and NickyEyes on Africa was created with the vision of sharing the wonders of the African continent with those who are eager to explore some of the world's most magnificent areas...areas that combine pristine, natural beauty, incredible wildlife, cultural diversity and remote, unspoiled and untamed wilderness.

If you want to experience the true essence of Africa, then the big lodges filled with masses of tourists are not for you. We, in conjunction with only the very best of our local African partners, are here to offer you large, remote, private and exclusive concessions that cater to a minimal number of guests. With so few guests in such large unspoiled tracts of wilderness, the magical feeling is unlike anything you are likely to ever experience.

Whether you want to plan the perfect honeymoon, the daring African adventure holiday, the ultimate African safari or a unique family vacation, Africa offers it all. Eyes on Africa are here to offer you photographic African safaris, eco tourism and adventure travel. All our trips are tailor-made to our guests' specifications - so no two trips will ever be alike. Whatever your special interest, we have something that will meet your needs. We do all the research, plan your itinerary, provide necessary information and cover all details – all you need to do is pack your bag and prepare for the African vacation of a lifetime.

Eyes on Africa is run by people who know the African continent intimately, who have lived there and who know the people and places. It is run by people who were born and raised in Africa and who continue to return year after year - not only to refresh their knowledge, but predominantly because of the love and passion that they have for its areas.

Eyes on Africa is owned and managed by Nicky Glover and James Weis.

Adele van Jaarsveld

Adele van JaarsveldAdele in AfricaI love South Africa. It is the country of my birth and where I continue to leave my heart through all of my travels. I was born in Kimberley, but spent most of my childhood in small towns along the beautiful Garden Route. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to call home.  I feel such a deep sense of pride to live in this incredible country.

My passion for travel started at an early age, as my family traveled throughout Southern Africa at every opportunity.  I soon learned that it's really not only about the destinations that you reach; it's the whole journey and what you get to experience along the way. I love good food, good company, campfires and a wide open sky. And these are the things that Africa is all about.

When I finished school, the choice to turn my love for travel into my career was a natural one. So, I studied travel and tourism, and have been helping people plan their tailor-made African safaris and holidays for the past 15 years. I started as a destination specialist at SA Tours and Safaris, where I sold beautiful South African safaris for four years. Then, I joined Siyabona Africa, which meant extending my services to the greater area of Southern Africa. From here, I became a travel agent at the leading East African company, Asilia. I became the Sales Manager after two years, with a team of consultants around South and East Africa. All of this enabled me to travel extensively and get a real taste of what worked and what didn’t. After four years as Sales Manager, I was excited to join the Eyes on Adventure team, as this was the opportunity I wanted to take me even further afield in my travels and experience.

I still love every second of selling our beautiful continent and fulfilling someone’s dream to travel.

I have traveled extensively within South Africa, as well as all over Southern and East Africa. Some of the most notable places I’ve visited include Namibia, Malawi, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda. Internationally, I’ve also traveled through Europe, Thailand and various parts of the USA.

I joined the Eyes on Africa /  Eyes on Adventure team in 2014, and am now thrilled to be able to grow with them, and to expand my destinations and the experiences I can offer to other countries throughout Africa, Asia and the Americas. I love learning about and experiencing new places and cultures first hand, and EOA gives me the opportunity to spread my travel wings and explore, ultimately sharing my adventures with my clients..



Our commitment to you as the discerning traveler is to not only provide the best service at the most reasonable cost, but to share with you the splendor of this truly diverse and magnificent continent. We want you to return home with a yearning to go back.

You may leave Africa, but Africa will never leave you!

Come and share the wonders that Africa has to offer you.

With warm wishes,
The Eyes on Africa / Eyes on Adventure Travel Team
