David, my driverguide is an excellent friendly and professional tour operator
5/5

My safaritrip through Uganda was an amazing and beautiful expirience. It was perfectly organized, the lodges are in all places very good with friendly staff David , my guide was shown and told me things to know about people and nature. I was deep impressed about living standards in communities and villages . So I hope , that tourismus will bring jobs and money to the poor people and many guests will come to see that beautiful nature in Ugenda I had many emotional moments, and may be I will come back!

Seamless pick up and transfer
5/5

Tiyane was very polite and helpful. Communication on pick up was the night before with exact timings. He came to the lobby to pick me up so very hard to miss!

This tour operator could not have been more helpful in arranging the last minute tour of the Cape Pe
5/5

As visitors to South Africa from the UK, with a full agenda, we found ourselves with one free day. Friends recommended Gems of Africa. After contacting them, they were so helpful in preparing for us a day out in the Cape Peninsula which turned out to be a voyage of discovery for us and for our excellent driver, Jason.
He arrived promptly to pick us up from Goldeneye Private Venue in Somerset West. After a quick discussion about what we wanted to see we were on our way. For a long stretch, we were driven in a mini bus, along the coast road. banked with sand dunes to the left and some townships to the right, at our request . I wanted to see how “the other half “ live. Jason was informative, knowledgeable and interesting. I could write a book about the day out, but suffice to say that we all enjoyed the experience. Lunch was included in the price. Some of the highlights for us included seeing the penguins at Boulders Beach, the Cape of Good Hope and the vernacular railway up to the Cape Point lighthouse.
We were delivered “home” at the arranged time. Thanks to all who made it a day to remember.

Nice Safari in Kenia
5/5

We did six days safari in different parks in Kenia. Initially, we contacted this company for safari information. James quickly sent us several offers; however, I must say that after payment, communication was minimal. For a moment, we worried we were dealing with an unprofessional company. We arrived at the airport, and James was waiting at the exit. I don't think he's a very outgoing person; he didn't move from his spot until we approached him, much less make any attempt to help us with our luggage. Fortunately, Joshua, our driver, arrived, and I must say he's the complete opposite.Joshua is a very empathetic, communicative, and patient person. He drove very well without speeding or putting us at risk. He explained each park and each road to us and clearly knows his job very well. We enjoyed every place and every lodge. Even on our last day, before heading to the airport, he took us to eat at an amazing steakhouse. The car was in excellent condition and very clean. Overall, we can recommend this company, but their customer service could be improved.

Bad Organization, good safari
3/5

Unfortunatley we can not reccomend this Safari operator. We booked a 10 day mid-range lodged safari for Kenya and Tanzania.
The organization was really bad, especially in tanzania. The lodges were mostly nice except the Hotel in Arusha wich was really bad ( absoloutley not mid-range). There was no running water on the first day and they scammed us at the check out as they charged our card twice. What really destroyed the experience was the drive between tanzania and kenia. The direct road from amboselli seemed to be destroyed so we had to do a 10h drive over Nairobi and were charged 80 Dollars extra. The drive back to nairobi was even worse. We were crammed into a small overloaded bus in wich we each only had half a seat for a 6h drive. It was absoulutley horrible. The Safari was nice though the drivers really did their Best so 5 Stars for them.

Excellent Safari with Mimak Travel
5/5

My husband and I had an unforgettable safari organized by Mimak Travel. From the very beginning, communication was clear and professional and every detail of our trip was handled smoothly. The itinerary covered both Tsavo East and Tsavo West, giving us a perfect balance of landscapes and wildlife.
Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and made sure we didn’t miss any highlights from elephants and lions in Tsavo East to the stunning scenery of Tsavo West. The accommodation was comfortable and everything ran exactly as promised.
We felt well taken care of throughout the journey and the experience exceeded our expectations. Mimak Travel truly delivered a seamless and memorable safari. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a well organized adventure in Kenya!

They put together a plan that suited us very well, even for a larger group. The team was very solution-oriented and always made sure everything worked smoothly for us. The safari experience itself was excellent, with great driving and impressive knowledge of the wildlife. They are truly trustworthy people, and we highly recommend them.
