5/5

This was a fabulous tour and stay at garden lodge. It is decorated to the highest standard with lovely food in a great setting. The safaris are well narrated, we learned and saw so much, seeing the different animals and even a family of cheetahs making a kill.

Although I was nervous about travelling on my own, Gems of Africa made it very easy and comfortable.
5/5

The admin was great, with quick responses to my queries. The drivers for the Game Drives were so knowledgeable - about animals, birds, grasses, seasons, history and more! The vehicles were just the right size: everyone can see clearly; comfortable and cold beer offered at the end of the day. I would book with them again - definitely.

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.
