Great customer service
From getting a quote, booking and going, everything went to plan. The itinerary was detailed and informative. We had no problems arriving at Aquila, and we got all that was promised. Using Gems actually saved us money, rather than going direct. So very pleased.
The staff at Mdluli Game Lodge made this such and amazing experience and the lodge was fabulous!
The Mdluli Game Lodge is inside Kruger and has a private area only accessible by their staff. The drivers were very personable and knowledgeable about the animals. We were there in Spring (November) and while this made everything green and more lush (and harder to see distance), the animals were very active and we got to see them all close up. One morning, we had up close experiences with 4 of the big 5 (everything but the Rhino), usually with just our truck. The lodge was beautiful and exceptional value for the price. We also loved that the lodge supported the Mdluli tribe instead of a hotel chain or corporation.
Professional and very helpful
Fantastic experience from start to finish! All things were taken care of carefully and to ensure a comfortable customer experience. 100% worth it!

Complete satisfaction and trust in this tour operator.
From start to finish the communication was excellent. From choosing a safari location (Botlierskop Private Game Reserve) to our transportation to and from the reserve, Gems of Africa delivered. Highly recommend this tour company!

A trip of a lifetime!
We booked our safari trip in South Africa with Gems of Africa, and had the most amazing time at Sanbona
Lindo and the team at Gems sorted our transfers from Franschhoek with a return to Hermanus, as well as everything at the reserve. We had a beautiful time exploring all the wildlife and the team at Sanbona exceeding our expectations

Beyond Expectations
The safari experience exceeded all expectations. Our guides were not only extremely knowledgeable but also passionate about the wildlife, making every moment exciting and educational. Seeing the animals up close in their natural habitat was breathtaking, and the organization and timing of the excursions were flawless.
What really sets this lodge apart, however, is the service. Every staff member we encountered was warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our stay perfect. From the delicious meals to the small thoughtful touches in our room, everything felt personalized and effortless.

Fast and clear communication
We had good communication with Gems of Africa beforehand. The price was reasonable and our stay at Bakubung was very good. Beautiful lodge, good food, and wonderful game drives in Pilanesberg. We even saw elephants at the lodge!
