We went with four friends and we booked everything online. Customer service is great and responds quickly. Our day was great and we came back with a head full of memories.

Nice and easy small safari experience
5/5

Everything worked well for us and was worth the experience. Transportation worked as promised, room was nice and clean, service and staff helpful, food nice etc. And the most importantly the safari-rides provided everything that was promised. So nothing much to complain about. It was all good.

high professional organization - unforgettable holidays
5/5

The team organized for our family a full holidays package in South Africa: Safari tour, wine experience, sailing day. The overall experience was excellent. Starting from the different options proposed for the Safari, the precise and timely communication, their availability to solve problems, even very last minute one! They made our holiday unforgettable. We will come back!

Attentive
5/5

We love the experience beginning with the bookings with Mpho who really was so helpful and reassuring. We were whizzed off by an excellent driver to the lodge in just 5 hours with a pit stop in between. Very comfortable car! The lodge is so beautiful and the tent/room was big and comfortable with clean bathroom facilities and even a fridge for us to store wine and chocolates! The surroundings were so serene that we keep thanking God for allowing us to be amongst His creation. We went on the evening and morning drives and while the animals were shy, we did see enough to be starry eyed! Food was great, service was spectacular and this lodge is highly recommended.

Professional, efficient and friendly
5/5

I booked a weekend away through Gems of Africa and it was an effortless and smooth process. The different options available were sent to me outlining everything I needed to know (price, inclusions, exclusions etc.) and the consultant was quick to respond to my follow up questions.

Everything was organised well and we had no hiccups. I would definitely book through them again and would recommend to anyone looking to do a safari tour!

Gems Tours were highly efficient, with excellent communication every step of the booking process.
5/5

We spent 1 night at Aquila Game Reserve and I was totally blown away by the excellent service from Gems Tours from the initial booking procedure to quick Whatsapp replies to queries the morning before we left. We were very pleasantly surprised by the value for money we got for what we paid. We had 2 lovely game drives, with free refreshments included which was amazing as it was very cold! The food was delicious with vegan and gluten free catered for and we ate like kings, with wonderful, friendly staff in both the restaurant and bar. The rooms were spacious, light, airy and private with enormous beds and awesome showers! All in all, we had a wonderful time!

A fantastic tour operator that you can trust to find you an amazing experience
5/5

We are from France and went to South Africa for10 days. We were looking for a 3 day safari tour not too far from Stellenbosch.
I found Gems of Africa through internet. We exchanged à few mails until they found the perfect proposition. They were very quick to answer my questions. It was not cheap. But what a once in a lifetime experience !
We stayed at Bottlierskop Lodge 3 days 2 nights. The rooms were absolutely great: lots of space, big comfortable bed, nice bathroom with bath and shower, very clean, well equiped, top wifi. The restaurant was very good (we bought full board). The menu had a great variety of food and drinks. The staff was very friendly.
But the best part were the game drives: 4 during our stay. we saw so many different animals : it was breathtaking. The guide was very instructive.
I sincerely recommend Gems of Africa
