Fantastic and very commited!
This tour was amazing and well organized! The agency communicated with me all the time prior and during the tour. The driver (Samir) was very gentle and answered all of our questions. The was polite to everyone was kept us on time. The tour itself in Aquila us unforgetable and magical! We saw 4 out of 5 from the BigFive and have an amazing day admiring the African wildlife!

Professional from the beginning to the end
Well organized 2 days trip to Inverdoorn. Communications and feedback from gems of Africa was excellent. If we could complain on something it was the very stressful pick up service day 1 where the driver came very early in the morning 0730 (he was going on holiday) and drive tofast on the dirty roads close to Inverdoorn. We sat in the heat for hours before things happening there, so rushing out from a 5 star hotel breakfast was kind of totally waste of time. But if it wasnt for this everything worked out fine.

Excellent
Gems of Africa was always helpful and replied immediately to any questions or requests.
I added on transport to and from the lodge and this was also very good, nice to meet other people on our way there.
I could never get hold of Aquila, but Gems of Africa was always available and reliable.
Aquila lodge was lovely, and the meals were very good - we all ate way too much.
The game drives happened at exactly the times they were scheduled, and free drinks at the end of the afternoon game drives were appreciated.
Aquila could have had more giraffes. And we never got to see the elusive mountain leopards.

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!
