Knowledable, helpful, stayed in budget
Anja has been helping me plan my short stop over trip in Kenya on my way to South Africa. I had a unique travel situation and she was willing to help. She is also extremely knowledgeable. She worked well with me and kept the lines open for communication to assure I found a trip that was affordable for me. I will be traveling alone and I felt extremely comfortable with Anja and I trusted her to do the best for me. I would highly recommend Anja at Go2Africa.

Go2Africa and the trip itself met or exceeded our expectatioms in every way.
Visited the Serengeti, Nrongorogoro, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara. Highly recommend the hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti. Very satisfied with Go2Africa and the trip in general. Tanzania is a very friendly place, and it's easy to fly directly into Kilimanjaro Airport. Would definitely recommend Go2Africa. Their communication was excellent throughout the process.

The only way to Go2Africa
Lauren from Go2Africa has done it again for my recent trip to Joburg and Botswana April/May 2016. She organised 2 fly in safari's at Moremi Camp and Savute Safari Park which were 5 star all the way. Mentioning I loved photography Lauren booked us the Pangolin Wildlife Photographic Course in Kasane for 5 days and 4 nights. This was brilliant and our tutor Janelle made this course so interesting both on the Chobe River and in the Chobe National Park. I highly recommend all these safaris to one and all a must to be added to anyone's bucket list.

A Very Professional Outfit who delivered Great Value
Monique of go2Africa organised a car, hotel rooms and golf for four of us from the UK when we went to Sun City to play golf. She got a great deal on the car, which was ideal for our needs, and a much better deal on the hotel and golf than we could have got using a UK company or doign it ourselves.
Monique and her backup staff were extremely professional and very pleasant to deal with and everything went like clockwork. Attention to detail was unbeatable. I will use go2Africa when I go back to Soputh Africa for a safari.

Go2africa made our dream vacation a reality!
Go2africa set up the perfect getaway for my boyfriend and I. We started our trip in Cape Town and then made our way to Lion Sands Ivory lodge for a 3 day safari. After that we stopped at Victoria falls for a few days to see the beautiful falls. Our travel agent, Candice, could not have been any more helpful planning our trip of a lifetime. Not only was she with us every step of the way planning our trip, but during our trip as well. She would always check in on us to make sure everything was running smoothly. this was our first trip to Africa, but definitely not going to be our last thanks to Go2africa.

Cape Town to Vic Falls (Accommodated)
My partner and I did the 20 day Cape Town to Vic Falls trip and were very happy with the overall experience. We made enquiries with a number of companies, but Gelle at go2africa was by far the most helpful and responsive. In addition, after we booked she answered a myriad of our random questions with speed and expert advice.
The trip itself was wonderful, our group only consisted of 8 people so we had lots of space in the truck and our tour leader (Shadwell) and cooks (Saima and Norman) were really kind, informative and professional. The range of accommodation was dependent on the varying places we visited, however, it was always very clean and well maintained.
The highlights of the trip for us were Okavango Delta, Chobe national park, Dune 45, Deadvlei, desert walk, night game viewing at Etosha national park and Fish River Canyon.
We would strongly recommend anyone to do this tour, as it is an amazing experience.

Anja Naude and Go2Africa made our safari trip a reality and a wonderful and memorable experience
We are just back from an incredible 10-days in South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. We wanted to thank Anja Naude and Go2Africa for making this dream safari a reality. The trip was a year in planning and from the first contact, which was a general inquiry on a trip to Kruger, to its conclusion, it was a delight to work on the details with Anja. After looking at the itineraries on offer, we decided on creating our own. Anja listened and gave us realistic options. We appreciated having access to her knowledge, expertise and connections. Any and all communications and questions had a reply from her within 24 hours. We were able to book our lodge early enough to avail of the 2014 rates. The payment system made was efficient and trouble-free. All the choices -- from flights, accommodations and activities -- were superb with the group loathe to leave each stop as they could not believe it could get better.
The Residence Lodge was the perfect welcome stop for the long trip to Johannesburg. It quickly got us into vacation mode. Leadwood Lodge was over-the-top. We will review this separately but let me say that this probably should be the last stop on the itinerary as anything after it will suffer in comparison. The kids were "homesick" the first day of our next stop and they didn't mean the USA. They wanted to go home to Martha, Chris, Justin, John, Isaac and Patricia at Leadwood Lodge. The activities in Livingstone and Victoria Falls (segway, quad biking, zipline, Angel Pool and Vic Falls, cruising) were the perfect complement to our safari adventures.
All the flights -- international from the UK and USA and all regional flights -- worked very well. We were very glad we opted for the air transfers to and from the lodge as it maximized our time there. The air transfer to Ulusaba got us there before lunch and we went on our first drive that evening. Booking the flight from Ulusaba to Mpumalanga allowed us to fit in a morning game drive -- a fitting farewell to the safari leg of our trip.
The connections and transfer arrangements to and from the airports were punctual, reliable and worked flawlessly, i.e., Ilios in Johannesburg, the staff at Leadwood and Wild Horizons for our Livingstone leg. These were very welcome after a long trip into unfamiliar territory. Knowing our transfers were reliably sorted allowed us to focus on the trip activities. We appreciated the assistance at the Zambia/Zimbabwe border. It made our activities in the Zim side so much more enjoyable.
I wanted to thank Anja especially for the special touches and surprises that made my sister's 50th birthday so special for her and for us. I joined in on the delight at the special surprise cake and champagne celebration under the Merula tree at Leadwood. Our last activity was the Ultimate River Cruise on the Zambezi. They sang Happy Birthday once we boarded the African Queen and led us to the Captain's table. This was truly special and a perfect ending to our dream trip.
Anja and Go2Africa made our safari trip a reality and a wonderful and memorable experience. We are going back and we will do so with Anja and Go2Africa as our indispensable partners. Thank you once again from Marissa, Ellen, Beci, Mark, James & Sabrina.

Incredible Dream Honeymoon
My husband and I were beginning our search for the most incredible honeymoon when we came across go2africa. Being Canadians, we had little advice in our area to set up the perfect getaway. We were out in touch with Monique Roden quite quickly into our search and she put together a flawless honeymoon that far exceeded our expectations. We tell people at home, until you've travelled to Africa, been on a safari, or felt that feeling when you touch down on African soil, we truly cannot explain to you in words how incredible of an experience it is. Our pictures and videos do not do it justice. The quality of service everywhere you go, the knowledge on the tours and the exceptional standards whether it be food, decor, spa service, movie night (tambo airport hotel), it far exceeds the rest of the world as we have seen. We have travelled all over Canada, the United states, the Caribbean and Europe and truly believe they set the bar the highest.
Although we talk about it everyday and look back on our travels with such fond memories, we really want go2africa to know how much their support and guidance meant in planning our trip. Monique's suggestions and tips were so knowledgeable and she made all of our big to do's happen. It may have meant moving tours or bookings around but she made it work. Every single part of our trip was perfect, not one error. In fact, our luggage was lost in Chicago, Illinois on our way down. Which was the airline we booked, not go2africa's fault. A gentleman (our porter) in Zambia took our personal information and looked into it and hand delivered our bags to us the next day. This was the only (and very minor) mishap of the trip, which in our view was no problem at all. In fact, it made us realize how much more the folks involved in our travels went the extra mile to help us out, truly leaving an everlasting positive impact on our view of Africans (South Africans, Zambians and Mauritians to be specific). Every single person we met whether they were a porter, tracker, butler, chef, flight attendant, server in Nelson Mandela square, luggage carrier, they were absolutely fabulous people. We know it's a late review, but we had to tell you all how incredible you are at go2africa. We love following the updates on tours, new baby Cubs, and all the excitement back in Africa on Facebook and Instagram and still get email updates. We think Monique was truly incredible and would love to plan a trip for her in Canada one day if she ever wants to come visit. We are saving up for our next trip to Africa and cannot wait. We will definitely be calling Monique for help again!

experience of a lifetime
from the first contact which was just to check into whether this would be the year to go, it was professional and comfortable, and not a hard or up sell on any level. lisa was AMAZING. everything was clear and covered and we never felt like we were alone or on our own while traveling. she was even supportive and helpful for the loss of our luggage on flights that were not in our package. i would recommend them to anyone traveling to that part of the world. we will definitely use them again on our next trip to south africa. top notch.
