Unfortunately the tour operator Gems of Africa went into Liquidation giving us only two days notice
Dream of taking our family of 6 on safari ruined as Tour Operator Gems of Africa went into liquidation without fully paying the Safari Reserve despite us paying the final balance to them two months in advance. Unfortunately this only came to light two days prior to us due to going on the Safari when we were notified by the Liquidator that our booking ha been cancelled. Need to be vary and next time would look to book directly.

Not given where you paid for
Still waiting for a refund as we did not get what we paid for the first 2 days of our booked safari. Such a shame as they where doing there best.

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

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

Excellent Safari experience. Quality! Service! Experience!
Fabulous tour at a lovely lodge with great service.
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.
