There are no words to describe the experience of traveling with GemLegacy. The work being done in East Africa is incredible and to be a tiny part of it on this trip was beyond anything I could have imagined. I cannot recommend this trip enough to others who may be considering joining an adventure. The memories and experiences you bring home will far exceed what it takes to get there. Your heart will be changed and your knowledge of the gemstone industry will grow exponentially.

Words from Past Travelers

A Life-Changing trip of a Lifetime. A Gem Legacy Adventures trip is a must for anybody in any aspect of the business. It gives you an opportunity to see where your livelihood comes from. Being able to see your donations being used by our Initiatives makes it real. The children/people and animals in East Africa are so wonderful. To get to visit/go in the mines and meet these miners was so incredibly special. You see how resilient the people are while facing immense challenges and how we are personally impacting there lives. We were taken care of from the second we arrived, by the most terrific, knowledgeable, caring group of people. I can't say enough positive wonderful things about Gem Legacy or this trip. Don't wait, come see for yourselves and fall in love with Africa.

My trip with Gem Legacy Adventures was one of the most meaningful and exciting adventures. Everything thing was well-thought out and communicated from the pre-trip emails, to the itinerary, to what to expect on the ground. The safari days were beyond my wildest dreams! Our driver, Vincent, shared so much knowledge about the landscape, wildlife, and culture. My favorite part of the trip, the mine visits, were beyond what I could have imagined. I cannot express enough how influential these visits were. Our time spent with the communities that inspire Gem Legacy's initiatives was eye-opening, including our service day at Kitarini with the children. Our hotel and lodges throughout the stay were all wonderful and varied from lively, cozy city hotel to dreamy and rustic boutique lodges. The food and restaurants we enjoys were wonderful and and vary accommodating.
