Excellent Experience!
This was my first time travelling to Africa and I must say that the entire process from booking to post-travel was seamless and exceptional. I met Dion, Lucia and the Go Touch Down team at the New York Travel Show in January 2025. I was reluctant about travelling solo, but they put me at ease. I chose to travel in June, and the team communicated with me the entire time. They answered any questions or concerns I had, they provided all of the details I would need to know such as itinerary, meeting times and places, travel guide info, emergency contacts, etc. They made suggestions on where to stay on day zero (I flew in a day early to ensure I wouldn't miss any connections) and offered to book my local flights (I flew to Cape Town). They took my dietary information and any other details from me that would make my trip comfortable. When I arrived at the Royal Morubisi River Lodge in South Africa, I was treated like a superstar! I was very impressed with the hospitality and kindness of the staff. The lodge itself was beautiful!! Clean, contemporary, rustic, elevated decor. Definitely five star. The chef was magnificent! The food was one of the highlights of the trip. I looked forward to having 3 course meals every day, served on a beautifully decorated plated table, just simply classy. The safari was a dream. We saw 4 of the big five (3 of them on day one!). It was truly an incredible experience. I only wish that I saw more of Johannesburg other than being on the game reserve, or that there was more entertainment at the lodge. Next, I flew to Cape Town. My driver was so cool! And very protective. At first, I was being difficult because I'm not used to people being so kind to me and protective like that. But I later realized that that is just how they are. They are hospitable, kind people and they wanted to make sure that I was happy and satisfied. Also, because I was travelling solo, they wanted to keep me safe. I respect that! I leaned in, and he became not only my driver and guide but also my bodyguard lol. Cape Town was so gorgeous!!!! The mountains, the ocean, OMG. I only wish that I was there during the spring or summer season. June is off season, winter, so it wasn't as packed as I hear it gets. But none-the-less still very beautiful. I can't wait to go back. Strangely, I felt at home. It takes a lot to impress me and I must say Go Touch Down delivered!

Always looking after you, every step of the way.
From the time they pick us us at the airport hotel, till we landed Joesph the driver was always with us. We had 2 game drives a day (once in the morning and once in the evening) in 2 different resorts. The first resort had the African vibe from rooms to the lobby. Huge wild reserve which meant harder to find the elusive animals to Tsuchudu game reserve where more typical rooms but smaller reserve which made it easier to see the elusive animals. We were literally a few feet away from the lion and leopards as we were observing them. Lastly Kruger for the day was another totally different experience than the other days.
But we're very contrast from each other but complimented the Safari experience. We were lucky to have found the big 5 multiple times on trip. Something that they weren't able to do the previous month. As the leopard is always the hardest to find. Even though we were in the vehicles not much distance from the animals, we never were uneased with the guides right there (Ez and Tyler) with us.
Overall with touchdown they took care of us as it was always just us in the game drive vehicles and if we need to modify the schedule a bit, worked with us and made it more personalized for us. The staff especially were super friendly and always had a smile on their face. A few staff that went far and beyond was (Tyler, Joesph, and Dolly). I would recommend this company to anyone else.

A wonderful experience with new friends
As a solo traveler the 5 travel companions quickly became friends where we all set up a WhatsApp where we could share pictures and stay in communication while on the trip and after we returned. Touchdown has set us up in wonderful animal reserves where we felt close and safe to the animals. We had a morning and evening animal drive with knowledge game rangers. Food was good. The evening sundowners were special. Happy Hour at sundown. Just don't have red wine as our was served at room temperature.

Highly Professional and attentive to all details
I just returned today, from the 8-Day safari i booked in December 2023 with Go Touch Down.
They promised a life-changing trip and it definitely held up to this promise!
Everything was flawless organized and the support of the team online and on location was outstanding!
The communication was perfect and all questions were quickly answere. The lodges were all very nice, so was the food and the entire service-personell.
The entire trip was a really outstanding and i would definitely use Go Touch Down again, without question!

Go Touch Down was so easy to deal with and responded to any concerns immediately.
We signed up for the 10 day Signature tour and the 4 day Victoria Falls tour. We also added 2 extra days in Johannesburg upon arrival and 2 extra days in Cape Town so we could explore the V & A Waterfront more as well as participate in a tour of Robben Island. We would not change a thing!
Our timing was great. Having the 2 extra days in Johannesburg allowed us time to recuperate from the long flight, as well as to participate in a half day cultural village tour at Lesedi - got us right into the right frame of mind.
Every guide was outstanding! They were caring, considerate of the group's needs, and super knowledgeable.
The fact that the group was a manageable 6, allowed us to ask all the questions we wanted and to get a more personal experience.
The food was fantastic and more than plentiful.
We totally recommend the raised tent at Tshukudu.
