Jane Goldring

Director – Uganda

The History

I was born in Cape Town, moved between there and UK a couple of times finishing with my senior schooling in the depth of North Wales and then heading out on my own to South Africa there after. I lived in the three major cities of South Africa over the next 15 years and then moved to Uganda where I have been ever since.  In fact it is also where I have lived in one place for the longest in my life, and I plan to keep it that way, with just short trips out to do and see new things, experience life and have fun. I joined the Wild Frontiers team in Uganda – in fact I started it along with my husband Paul Goldring. I was the office lady (initially the office was the entrance hall to our house!) and he was the safari guide.

Since then it has grown slightly and so now we have a stand alone office with around 100 employees including office and workshop staff, three lodges/camps around Uganda and a sucessful boat excursion business on Lake Victoria and the Nile river.

My Footprints

Europe, USA, Far East, Tibet, India and many African countries

Most Memorable Holiday

Too many to have just one – perhaps the barge down the French canals with the food and wine and weather just perfect or even the climbing of the Rwenzoris which was certainly the toughest one

My Travel Wishlist

I reckon I have to see New Zealand and Australia soon and the Tigers in India are still on the bucket list

Never Travel Without…

Flexibility and backup plan and US Dollars

The Luxury Travel Item

A decent pillow so I can always sleep well

    • Our guide for the first part of the tour, Joseph Mutebi, was outstanding.  In addition to being a very safe driver, he was very attentive to our needs and made us feel most welcome in Uganda from the first moment we stepped out of the airport arrivals hall.  He has an exceptionally sharp eye for spotting birds (and other wildlife), and a keen ear for bird calls as well.  He was very patient and proficient in helping us to locate and see what he had spotted, and he could identify the birds as quickly and accurately as the local guides (even with their specialized local knowledge). We had a nice birding rhythm and a great tour with Joseph, and we were very sorry when we had to say goodbye to him midway through our tour.  We have travelled extensively in southern and eastern Africa, and we can honestly say that Joseph is one of the finest guides we have encountered.

    • I’m just back from a great trip to Botswana. We had a wonderful time. The accommodations were first class, the transports were seamless, and we saw a lot of animals. Thank you for all your work putting the itinerary together and making the reservations.

    • We want to thank you for the wonderful itinerary that you developed for us last week in Botswana and Zimbabwe.
      We enjoyed each area and all that they had to offer. But, we had to admit that our favorite was Moremi Crossing. The people, food, accomodations and activities were delightful, personable and relaxing.

      Again, many thanks for making our African experience so memorable.

      Sincerely
      Ed and Elizabeth Griffith

    • Hi I just wanted to tell you that we stayed at your Serengeti Wilderness Camp, and it was just terrific. It was a great blend of simple and rustic, but still comfortable. Mostly, I wanted to compliment the staff. They were all very professional and saw to our every need. And highest marks must go to your amazing chef. I wish we could have stayed long enough to try every menu. If he opened a restaurant in Los Angeles, people would flock to it! So thank you so much!  I have relatives planning to come to Tanzania in the fall- do you have your rates for that time set? It would be two couples in two separate tents.

      Thanks so much!

    • It was nothing short of amazing. There was sooooooo much about the trip and country that amazed us, we were totally impressed. The serengeti lived up to it’s reputation for viewing and the crater – “WOW”!! – at one stage I turned to Syd and said “I think this is what the garden of Eden was like” it is definately one thing that should go on everyone’s bucket list.

    • Thank you for following up. We had a wonderful time on our safari! Our guide, John Lantara was excellent, the accommodations were great, and generally the food was quite good. They gave us far too much food, we were stuffed by the end. I’m surprised our flight from Serengeti could get off the ground 🙂

      Best regards,
