3-Day Safari
We booked a 3-day Safari with Gems of Africa. It was our first Safari and we are now determined to go back. The communication was easy and very accurate. They always responded within a few hours, all their answers were detailed, accurate and easy to follow. They provided multiple options to chose from and their service (especially Mr. Mpho Thulo) was GREAT. We ended adding a driver service to and from the reserve and that ended as a great service as well.
The Safari we reserved (Mont Eco Game Reserve) EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS by far and was a great value for our money. The place is amazing, the service was excellent, the wildlife was a dream come true. We were promised the Big 5 and we got much more from very very close. Everyone we met at the reserve was delighted.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience and Gems made it all happen. They are highly reliable, pay attention to the small details and very responsive. We could not have asked for more.

Great Experience - Highly Recomend
I had an incredible safari experience at Botlierskop Private Game Reserve, all thanks to Gems of Africa Safari and Tours! Despite contacting them just a few days before, their team worked tirelessly to organize everything seamlessly and exceeded all expectations.
The safari itself was unforgettable, with game drives that allowed us to see lions, rhinos, giraffes, and more in their natural habitat. The guide was fantastic, and the accommodations at Botlierskop were both luxurious and close to nature.
A huge thank you to Gems of Africa Safari and Tours for their outstanding service and making this last-minute trip so special. Highly recommended!

Gems of Africa made our holiday extra special. Amazing experience end to end!
We used Gems of Africa to organise a tour to the Kruger National Park. The experience was first class! The pick ups from the airport were punctual and a massive thanks to Victor for safely getting us to our destination ahead of schedule. The lodge we stayed at (Mdluli Lodge) was incredible. Everything was perfect, from the safaris we went on, the staff, the food, the location and the friendliness of the staff. I can not fault it! Well Done! I would definitely recommend Gems of Africa!

Very trusting and easy, great trip!
We booked a safari tour in Kruger National Park with Gems of Africa. The whole service from the begging was great. We expressed our ideas and were given many options and had several calls and e-mails back and forth to adjust the best option and the most comfortable prize-wise. Very quick responses and detailed explanations on every option. They were very helpful also once we had some desire to make the trip slightly cheaper and several ideas to accommodate that were proposed. Overall great service and very easy to reach out to them, felt very friendly constantly and secure. Would surely recommend to contract a trip with them and would happily do so myself with them again.
Our specific contact person was Janien.

Everything was great!
We were a group of 18 family members and we loved it.
The hotel was fantastic, the family room at Ivory tree game lodge is incredible, with family room, private pool, etc. And the food at the hotel was amazing.
I totally recomend it

Super organized Safari trip ! It was great !
We traveled with 3 adults and 2 children (6 and 10 years).
We planned the safari at home which was very easy.
Gems of Africa planned the hole 3 day trip for us from Cape Town to Bakubung Bush Lodge.
That was including the flight to Lanseria and at the airport was the taxi driver who bring us to Bakubung .
The same driver brought us also back to the airport.
And about Bakubung, it was a very luxe stay there, including 4 safaris of 3 hours.
We were very content about this booking and we will recommend this Gems of Africa safari very much !Pleun

A tour perfect from start to finish!
Arrangements for our game reserve stay were exemplary. Communication was always swift and helpful. We stayed at the Mont Eco game reserve and this is definitely a luxury experience. The driver collected us from our hotel on time and once at the reserve nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Food was great and the lodge was fantastic.
We were there to see the animals and that did not disappoint thanks to our guide Terence. We were lucky to get really close to the lions and other large game and it was fun watching the baboons chase each other on the ridge opposite our lodge.
Would absolutely recommend this tour company to arrange your next adventure! ❤️
