This trip was the best thing I did in my life, and the people and the place was out of a movie! Ze was a magnificent tour guide, if I could I would repeat this trip every year Estefi

Dear Estefania, Thank you for letting us know how your trip went. So happy you had a great time and happy Ze took good care of you. All the best! THE GEMS OF AFRICA SAFARI & TOURS TEAM

We spent 3 amazing days here. Everyone is incredibly nice and the rangers were extremely competent and welcoming! The tent we stayed in was from a dream, contributing to an even nicer Safari experience. Shoutout to Ranger Zé from Mozambique, um abraço! Big thank you from all of us, hope to be back soon!

Dear David, Thank you very much for your feedback. We are so happy you had an amazing time. Any place can be 5 Star with all its fittings, but it really is about the people who make it special. We can't wait to welcome you back. All the best! From the GEMS OF AFRICA SAFARI & TOURS TEAM

Gems of Africa safari and tours were incredibly attentive and accommodating. When we experienced flight complications on the way to South Africa, delaying our trip multiple times, they were extremely responsive and worked with us to find solutions immediately. They helped us rebook flights and transportation and pushed back our stay at no extra cost. Their attention to customer service helped make a very stressful situation much less so. The Lodge was beautifully appointed and luxurious, the staff was attentive, warm, and welcoming, and the food was delicious. The safari itself was incredible and once in a lifetime. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and personable and made the entire experience fun and exciting. I could not recommend this company or safari option more highly!!

Happy you eventually got on the flight to enjoy your safari and that the lodge made the experience great. Thank you for sharing the lovely images, those we always enjoy. All the best!

We went to Mabula for 3 nights and we had the most amazing weekend! Rooms were so beautiful, staff was very friendly and the best part was the game drives! Everything was perfectly organised and they threw in a special cake for the birthday we celebrated this weekend! Amazing service and will definitely be booking again.

Dear Maxine, So happy you had an amazing time and enjoyed the birthday celebration. Thank you very much for the lovely review and for choosing Gems of Africa Safari & Tours to assist you. Enjoy and we look forward to assisting you on your future trips The Gems of Africa Safari & Tours Team.

Excellent, personable and professional service. Travelled with my wife and 3yo son. We had queried about various lodges and the prices and had to make changes along the way. All these numerous requests were met swiftly by the service oriented team. Even went the extra mile in various situations and continued to wow us. We certainly enjoyed our trip and the credit has to be given to Gems!

Dear Clement, thank you very much for allowing us to assist you and your lovely Family on your Safari trip. We are so excited you had an amazing time and everyone could enjoy the combined anniversary and birthday celebration. Thank you again for choosing Gems of Africa Safari & Tours. All the Best! The Gems of Africa Safari & Tours Team.

We went to Pilanesberg for a 3-day safari and we had a wonderful experience there. Everything was perfectly planned and organized, and we didn't need to worry about anything. The hotel (Yvory Tree Game Lodge) is really nice and the transfer from and to Joburg went really smoothly. Communication and support from Janine and the Gems of Africa staff was great!

Thank you very much for sharing your lovely experience with us and thank you for the wonderful photos. Pilanesberg National Park is a mini Kruger National Park near Johannesburg, we are very happy to hear that all went well and you could depart from the lodge with good memories. All the best from the Gems of Africa Safari & Tours Team!

Underrated Africa: 10 Cities To Visit Besides Cairo And Cape Town

W hen travelers think of visiting a city in Africa, there are two that might immediately spring to mind. The Egyptian capital of Cairo in Northern Africa and the incredible coastal city of Cape Town in South Africa are probably the most popular cities in Africa to visit.

But beyond these two beautiful urban centers, there are many amazing lesser-known cities in Africa to explore. Anyone planning a trip to an African country might want to rethink their itinerary to include one of these lively cities with plenty to do and see. Here are some of the best African cities to visit (underrated ones that aren't Cairo or Cape Town).

Related: 10 Most Beautiful Cities To Visit In South Africa Before The Year Ends

Tunis, Tunisia

Tunis is the vibrant capital of Tunisia in North Africa . While there are plenty of things to do in Tunisia , checking out this historically rich and visually stunning city is one of the most idyllic. Tunis sits on the Mediterranean Sea across from Sicily and Sardinia, offering warm summer days of sunshine at a much more reasonable price point than these Italian islands.

Travelers visiting North Africa's hidden gem can stay in high-end boutique hotels or Airbnb for a reasonable cost and enjoy exploring the historical museums and ruins around the city.

  • Best Month To Visit: April to May or October to November
  • Top Attraction: Medina of Tunis

It's always a good idea to check travel warnings or restrictions from one's home country's government website before departure to ensure travel plans go smoothly. Check for land borders to avoid crossing or potential areas where travel insurance will not cover travelers.

Stone Town, Zanzibar, Tanzania

Visitors will find lots of things to do in Zanzibar (Unguja), which is an island off the coast of mainland Tanzania that is famous for its pristine white sand beaches and interesting historical sites. Visiting Stone Town is perhaps among the most underrated activities here; it's an interesting part of Zanzibar City and is an old trading center with mosques, narrow alleys, and the Old Fort.

Stone Town has fantastic gelato at Mama Mia Gelato Italiano, but there is also a solemn past to discover in the city. The Slave Market Memorial in Zanzibar commemorates the terrors of the slave trade market that once existed there ( closed in 1873 ).

  • Best Month To Visit: December to February or June to October
  • Top Attraction: Old Fort

Windhoek, Namibia

Namibia is often overlooked because of its popular neighbor, South Africa. But this southwest African nation is worth spending at least a week exploring, with it being one of the best underrated cities in Africa to visit.

Besides the budget-friendly safari in Namibia's Etosha National Park , travelers will want to dedicate a few days to exploring the fascinating city of Windhoek. Windhoek is Namibia’s capital and is located in the central region of the country in the Khomas Highlands. It's perhaps among the most beautiful cities in Africa, thanks to its picturesque cathedral that dominates the cityscape.

  • Best Month To Visit: July to October

Tangier, Morocco

Morocco is among the most popular travel destinations in Africa and is easily accessible from European countries like England, Spain, and Portugal. But while Marrakesh remains a top attraction, don’t overlook Tangier. This Moroccan port city on the Strait of Gibraltar is among the many lesser-known African cities to visit and is the ultimate gateway from Europe to Africa.

Whitewashed buildings and coastal views make this a great choice for a summer (or shoulder season) holiday. Plus, there are a number of interesting facts about Tangier in Morocco that travelers will find intriguing to know before they visit this beautiful African city.

  • Best Month To Visit: May or September
  • Top Attraction: Hercules Cave

Accra, Ghana

  • Best Month To Visit: October to April

Mutare, Zimbabwe

Mombasa, Kenya

Kenya is well known for the city of Nairobi and the beautiful safari experiences of the Masai Mara. But travelers shouldn’t miss a chance to visit the coastal city of Mombasa, just a 4.5-hour train ride from Kenya. The train journey is affordable ($10 for economy or $30 for first class) and offers scenic views of the Kenyan countryside along the way.

Once in Mombasa, travelers are treated to beaches on the Indian Ocean, a picturesque Old Town, and unique historical sites to explore.

  • Top Attraction: Old Town

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Addis Ababa is the capital of Ethiopia and is a well-developed administrative center for finance, commerce, culture, and art. The sprawling city is a fast-paced economic hub that has a distinctly different feel to many of the top African cities on this list.

It’s worth spending a few days exploring the markets, visiting the National Museum, and visiting Mount Entoto.

  • Best Month To Visit: October to March
  • Top Attraction: Merkato (Market)

Kigali, Rwanda

Rwanda is considered one of the best and safest cities in Africa for solo female travelers. It has a low petty crime rate, but travelers should also check regional travel advisories from their government before departing for a trip.

Former war-torn Kigali emerged to be one of Africa's most inviting cities ; it is the vibrant capital of Rwanda and is also a wonderful jumping-off point for explorations like trekking and gorilla conservation in Rwanda .

Besides learning about the nation’s history at the Kigali Genocide Memorial, travelers visiting Kigali should set aside time to explore and shop at the Caplaki Crafts Village in Masterpiece Hall.

  • Best Month To Visit: April to June
  • Top Attraction: Kigali Genocide Memorial (museum)

Durban, South Africa

Durban is a beach city in South Africa on the Indian Ocean. Indian and colonial influences here have given way to a unique culture unlike anywhere else in the country.

Durban is home to the largest Indian population in a city outside of India, so it's worth visiting on a trip to South Africa for the culture and cuisine alone. Some might say it's worth skipping Cape Town for Durban .
