Very thoughtful and professional
We went with Kenny a couple years ago and we had the best experience of our lives. He knows the land so well and he spots the animals very quickly, minutes before you can actually see them too.
He is so kind , and you feel safe at all times going with him because he knows how to get around.
Would recommend 100% and cant wait to visit Africa again by his side !

Comprehensive knowledge completed with good spirit and professional attitude. Kennedy is amazing!
Incredibly recommended. Our guide was very organized and bright, built an amazing a trip of a lifetime we will never forget. He had unbelievable knowledge of everything we encountered during our trip - fauna, flora, history and even archeology of Tanzania. There was no question he did not have an answer to and that is such an asset when visiting a country and continent we didn't know much about. Plus he was always kind, bright, fun and great to have around. We could feel our experience was truly important for him and he went above and beyond to keep us happy, well-fed and always on our way to another adventure! Such a rare professional.

A get what you pay for Safari…
We just finished the six day Masai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli tour. We booked the budget tour with upgraded accommodation. The views and the animals were incredible, and we saw so much even though it was the off-season! Animals were our focus and this was achieved. However, the “custom Safari minivan“ was terrible! It had no suspension, no four-wheel-drive, no air conditioning, and no power. We spent hours on teeth rattling, bone jarring, hot bumpy dusty roads! This is not the option to choose if you have neck back or hip problems, or any breathing issues. Our guide provided facemasks at the beginning of the journey to protect somewhat from the dust. We got stuck a total of four times on our game drives, and had to help push the van. The last time we were stuck, it was approximately two hours before we were finally able to be towed out! The drives from Lodge to lodge took hours longer than other companies. Partly due to multiple stops picking people up or dropping people off and partly because the minivan just couldn’t keep up. Part of a reason for upgrading the accommodation was to have some relaxation and pool time. The first day we did not arrive at Jambo Mara until 245pm and they stopped serving lunch at three. The two nights at AAmboseli, we were originally dropped off at the camp instead of the lodge And it took some time to sort that out, not arriving at the correct lodge until 8:45 PM. The second night was also late because of the van getting stuck. Our luggage had to ride in the backseat because the back door of the van wouldn’t latch. We spent an hour prior to the game drive one morning while the locals repaired that. The roof top barely opened and closed that by the end of the trip we weren’t sure we would be able to get it up and then weren’t sure we would able to put it down.
We intermittently traveled with three other people that booked through this company. Each of them had their tour altered in someway mid tour. Thankfully that did not happen to us. So many things, but overall we did see a lot of amazing animals, but I would not book this trip again because of the minivan. The ride was just to rough, hot, bumpy, dusty, and miserable..

Invaluable experience!!
I had only not one but two Safaris hired with Gatelinks and I have nothing to say rather than I am very glad to have chosen them as our providor.
Both drivers (Last and Phillip) were very diligent, funny and guided us into the parks providing useful insights which made us enjoying more our experience.
This, with all the comfort of the jeeps and the treatment and support by Rose and company made us to have two amazing journeys that we will never forget.
I highly recommend Gatelinks to any ride you are planning to do.

An unforgettable experience
We did a four-day safari, my brother and I. We had a great time with Leopard and Willy (our Italian guide) they are fantastic people that we will always carry in our hearts! We visited two parks and they were far above our expectations.. we saw a lot of animals even very close! We recommend it to everyone, for us it was an unforgettable experience with a very good quality/price ratio!

Kruger National Park Safari
Lambs was a great tour guide. He was friendly and basically knew all the other tour guides and staff which made finding out what others had seen and where way easier. He also did a great job spotting different animals from as large as elephants and giraffes to even the small creatures many overlook like the mongoose and chameleon crossing the road. He's also a good driver so you can sit back and enjoy the safari!

At first, I contacted many travel agencand most efficient reply. The whole trip was very enjoyable.
About reservation: the whole process of communication between itinerary and expenses is very smoothly。Muasya Silas Is a very responsible and efficient staff.
About the itinerary: Thanks to Simon. Is a very good guide. He is very experienced in driving and his eyes are very sharp when looking for animals.I always joke that Simon's eyes can see anything beyond 100 kilometers.Thanks to Simon, we saw big five.

Excellent communication and service.
We booked a safari with Gems of Africa. The team's communication was excellent (all via email), we received quotes for several options, all very detailed, and we got all our questions answered. Everything we planned through them was well organized and good value for money. We would definitely use this tour operator again, would we be back in South Africa.
