"I cannot say enough about Jody Cole and her company, Wild Rainbow African Safaris. I went on a Safari to Tanzania with Jody in 2004. She is one of the most personable, caring and trustworthy people that I have ever had the privilege to travel with. Jody's knowledge of Africa surpasses any other safari leader that I have traveled with. Her love and true passion for the country and the animals shows through over and over again. I highly recommend her and her company. Traveling with Jody, learning from Jody is a gift and I feel incredibly fortunate that I received that gift. I would go on another trip in a heart beat with her and Wild Rainbow African Safaris.”
