Our passion for offering exceptional safari experiences is the hallmark of what we offer at Hidden Gems and we will ensure you embark on a trip which will leave you with lasting memories and a life impacting experience.
Our goal is to create magic in the quiet and substantial moments, where luxury isn’t about opulence but about profound connections and transformative encounters with the wild.
As a small business, we bring a dynamic, passionate attitude to everything we do. We prioritise innovation, flexibility, and a personalised touch that larger operations often overlook. Our size allows us to be agile, responsive, and deeply connected to our guests’ needs.
Private Custom Safaris
We are committed to curating thoughtful itineraries that resonate with depth and authenticity, ensuring every experience is a work of art. By championing individuality and eschewing cookie-cutter approaches, we seek to educate and empower travellers to seek and demand what they truly deserve from their African adventures.
The lodges were breathtaking, the people, the staff, the food was amazing. We have been incredibly spoiled, it was beyond our expectations! We felt like king and queen, a 50th birthday we will never forget. We have seen and experienced so much. A dream that really came true! An amazing trip and experience that we will never forget and will remember regularly. Africa is in our hearts, we hope (if we have saved enough) to travel with you again.”
Georgie at Hidden Gems went above and beyond with regular communication throughout my safari planning experience and follow-up afterward. The company is professional, helpful, prompt, empathetic and just a stellar company to have worked with. I feel lucky to have hooked up with them to help me through the journey of undertaking my dream trip. I highly recommend engaging with them if you want everything looked after when travelling to a new part of the world - that was the case for me.
We really enjoyed it all. Your expertise in the safari’s was spot on.Thank you ever so much for all of the hard work you did to make our vacation/honeymoon a very memorable one. We will never forget our experiences in South Africa and Zambia.”
I know I've said this before, but I really do want to thank you for all of the help you've provided over this past year(ish). It will be really weird not speaking with you on a semi-weekly basis moving forward!
As a thought leader in remote and unusual destinations, we aim to ignite our guests’ inner explorers, offering high-touch, deeply immersive journeys that surpass expectations.
