Fulfilled a Dream, and exceeded all expectations!!
5/5

I paid on this trip for years, so made it easy to afford, but then there was Covid and passport problems with my granddaughter, but GTD was very accommodating and worked with me.
As for the trip...WOW!!! Accommodations were A±±±. Do you know what it is like to be treated like one of the rich and famous, even if you aren't? No crowds, everyone is so nice and friendly. A chef to prepare delicious meals, even prepare the fish you can catch while fishing. If you have certain food restrictions, they will make whatever you need to take care of you. You have plenty to eat, and when you aren't eating, they are feeding you more. You better not plan on loosing weight, because you won't.
Then, you have all been to the zoo, and seen some of the animals. That was cool when you were little, but, you will never have the same feeling as you will when an elephant comes out of the trees, headed right for your vehicle. Heart rate increases dramatically! Then you see more elephants together than you have ever imagined. Zebras, Impalas, Wildebeest, Buffalo, Hippos, Rinos, Giraffes, and then the big cats, Lions, Cheetahs and Leopard. None of them are caged, all running free. Baboons, and make sure you close your door when you go on the morning or evening game drive, as the monkeys know how to get in your room. Very early morning you may encounter the Bushbabies.
Kruger National Park, what a great place! Would be great to spend more time there. If you like dogs, Jackals are great to watch, and a real beauty is the African painted dog.
I just can't say enough about this trip, and I would go back in a heartbeat. GTD has exceeded all expectations.

Go Touchdown Tours is a great tour operator!
5/5

I can't say enough about Go Touchdown! Great company! I added a day in Johannesburg before my 8 day Cape Town Tour. They booked all my flights for me and my hotel in Johannesburg and a tour. The Go Touchdown staff was very helpful with questions and concerns I had.

I stayed at City Lodge at O.R. Tambo Airport. Very convenient. Great hotel. Friendly staff! It's right in the airport!

I took the Soweto Tour in Johannesburg and enjoyed it. I learned a lot. Went to Nelson Mandela's house. It is very small.

Cape Town is beautiful! Had great weather! The cruise along Langebaan Lagoon was wonderful. We had a beautiful sunny day for it. Learned about fossils at the West Coast Fossil Park. The !Khwa ttu San Culture and Education Centre was very educational. We even got to cook a piece of Spring Bok on an open fire! We went to Table Mountain. The views from there are incredible! Loved the ride up to the top. The floor in the car rotates so everyone can get the same view! Saw the penguins and seals! Cape Point Lighthouse was great. Great views from there as well. We also went to Cape of Good Hope. The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront has some great shopping. The Watershed is a local place where individuals can sell their jewelry, clothing and other items! On our last full day in Cape Town, we did 2 wine tastings. The wine is great! I bought a bottle! The dinner at Gold Restaurant was incredible! Each course was delicious!

The hotels we stayed at were great. Very friendly staff. The manager at Shark Bay could not have been more accommodating! My only issue was that my bed at Stillness Manor creaked when I got up from it. Being a beach girl, I loved the location of Belle Maroc Blouberg! Right on the beach!

Our tour guide Jonathan is one of, if not the best, tour guide I ever had! He was always on time or even early. He is very knowledgeable and is a proud native of Cape Town! He recommended a great restaurant at the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront for fish! I had the King Clip and it did not disappoint! He was also very helpful when taking me to Cape Town International Airport for my flight home.

Best tour guide I have ever met!
5/5

Cape Town was worth every penny. We had a wonderful time. Everyone we came in contact with was friendly and accommodating. The food was outstanding. We loved the villa upgrade, especially the fireplace and the hot tub. Our tour guide Johnathan made our vacation so memorable, he gets five stars! Also, we would like to request him for our next visit to Cape Town. Go Touchdown Travel we love you all.

We have been home a couple of weeks, and yet our hearts are still in South Africa. Our incredible trip is constantly on our minds. Plans to return were happening before we even left! I don’t know if I can find the words to describe how much we enjoyed our trip - but I’ll try!

The first rate service began long before we landed. Plans to book started a few years ago, but life got in the way, so we chose to wait. Deon (CEO) never pressured, and instead said “When you’re ready, we are here.” Deon & Lucia remembered us and made true on their promise to find us the trip of our dreams! Lucia prepared us so well for our trip and seemed genuinely excited for us as the date approached. We arrived a couple of days early, and Lucia booked our hotel and made excellent recommendations of excursions to fill our day before the “official” tour started.

Each guide, ranger, and lodging staff we met along the way were top notch! Friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and just a joy to be around! At Royal Morubisi, our ranger Abrie’s (the Best!!) passion for his work, the land, animals and teaching was obvious and we felt so lucky to spend time with him! Michael, at Tshukudu answered all questions thoroughly (even ones that made him chuckle) and had a great sense of humour that added to our experience! The safari drives were exciting, beautiful, and a highlight for us. We saw so many animals (even a baby Chameleon - how did Abrie SEE that??) although the Leopard remained elusive. Just another great reason to go back!
Johnathan, our guide in Cape Town was amazing, warm, and knows his stuff! He kept us on track, all while keeping everything relaxed and fun! We enjoyed every minute with him!

The Food!! My advice - Bring Your Stretchy Pants!! All meals were Truly Delicious, including those at the restaurants our guides chose during excursions. Suppers were dining experiences; Never rushed, taking our time savouring every course, wrapping up the days perfectly. .

One of our favourite things was that each lodge and hotel had a different vibe and decor. This made it feel like a whole new vacation each time. Go Touch Down’s consistency in the cleanliness, luxuriousness, comfort, and friendliness of staff was evident across all properties.

Throughout our entire stay, we felt pampered, cared for, and at home away from home. Thank you for an unforgettable experience that will be treasured forever.

Want luxury, excitement, pampering and affordable, think South Africa, think Go Touch Down.
5/5

WOW! Go Touch Down scored a 10 with us. From the moment we booked our tour your office was wonderful answering questions and taking care of everything so we could enjoy a stress free trip. All the resorts we stayed at were absolutely 5* beautiful. James and Tony were wonderful guides and showed us the many wonders of South Africa and made us feel like family. Michael our safari guide showed us more than the BIG 5, it was more like 12+. The knowledge they shared was incredible and made the trip enjoyable and fun. The staff at Tshukudu were all wonderful, Dolly with her homemade gluten free bread and Rachel at Stillness Manor with her cheerful smile and so many others made this trip special. We thought this trip would check South Africa off the bucket list but Go Touch Down and all the wonderful people there have made us want to come back and see more. Thank you all for an unforgettable trip.
