Lindo was very responsive and was able to tailor the trip to my needs.
I had a wonderful trip. My time and budget were limited, but Lindo was able to find a package for me and I had a great experience.

the team was very efficient, helpful and friendly
Gems of Africa was fantastic! Their friendly and efficient team helped us plan an unforgettable safari in Pilanesberg and two-day trips in the Cape area, for our family with young children. They made the planning process enjoyable and everything went smoothly during our trip. Highly recommend!

the level of customer satisfaction and communication is superb and next level
Gem of Africa offers lots of options and variety of tour and you can easily chat with them through whatsapp or phone call. that is super helpful!
Gem of Africa offers a superb communication especially Janine Bouwer. She replied to my chat on whatsapp pretty on time and strive to hear customer's concern, needs and request.
My wife all of sudden (3 days before the trip) is unable to do the 5 days 4 nights trip that I have already booked and paid in full to Gem of Africa and want to change to 3 days 2 nights. Janine could have simply refused to refund like other Company would do but instead she tried to find the alternative options and offered to refund the price diffence.
Our tour guide is Asanda. He is very kind, helpful, polite, and fun. I would definitely recommend Gem of Africa to the world. Special thanks to Janine and Asanda. Our family was very happy.

Wonderful Safari experience!
They made it very easy to book our Safari to Aquila Game Reserve! It was great value for our money! We got notified about everything & even got a call the day before confirming our transfer time! Our transfer driver was wonderful & everything at Aquila Game was amazing! We were so happy we chose the Premier Lodge room. It was big with a view overlooking the Reserve and we saw numerous animals as we sat on our balcony! Each Game Drive was different & we saw the animals in different areas of the Reserve. Beautiful scenery while on our Drives! The wine & snacks midway through the evening drives was a nice touch! I was nervous about this booking & if it would live up to our expectations. But, it exceeded our expectations! Thank you for everything!
Excellent confirmation of booking and transparency of inclusion's.
Gems Of Africa responded with the information required with full clarity. Janine was assigned to us to get the information and booking was confirmed without much delay.
As promised our transfer to Gondwana was arranged and available.
Tom our tour guide and driver for the transfer was professional and kept us engaged during the transfers.
The Gondwana staff also mirrored the information that Gems of Africa had shared and our stay was without any problems.
The reserve also arranged our game drives and we are thankful to Janine and the Gems of Africa team for making our holiday memorable.

Reliable and communicative
We have just finished a two night stay on the Garden Route. I can only speak in superlatives about our experience. From the reservations consultant to the driver to the accommodation to the food to the staff, everything was wonderful and exceeded expectations. The breakfast was the best we have eaten anywhere in the world.
For other travellers: we were not given an option about the standard of our accommodation, so ended up in a luxury two bedroom villa, when we would have been just as happy in the cheaper option of a one bedroom villa on the same property, which also looked great. We were also incorrectly advised by the reservations consultant that we would have a 50% chance of seeing the big five, when the property only had the big four. These two issues did not affect our enjoyment of our stay, but it's important for transparency.
I would definitely use this tour operator again, but it's important to ask all the questions when booking.

We couldn't be happier with our experience and eagerly look forward to booking with them again in the future!
