A Perfectly Planned African Adventure
When my husband and I first considered an African trip we were overwhelmed. We are very experienced travellers, but Africa is challenging. When we found Lauren Vorster and Go2Africa, we knew we were in good hands. Lauren became my best email friend - she quickly answered all my questions. And she was able to understand us and how we like to travel. She planned an itinerary that was smooth and well balanced. Tanamera was a perfect place to relax after long plane rides. We saw the classic Big Five the first day at Arathusa. Capetown was so cool and sophisticated. Ilios travel was always on time with knowledgeable drivers. Thank you, thank you Lauren and Go2Africa

Excellent all Around!
We are from Canada. Had a wonderful trip to Africa organized flawlessly by Go2Africa. Experienced, flexible, responsive- everything you want when travelling to a part of the world where you need to be organized , comfortable, and feel safe. We worked with with Lauren who was terrific, and able to seamlessly correspond and organize things for us despite the big time zone difference when communicating. Most important- when some health issues arose on the trip, Lauren and her team were available over the holiday period and responsive, trying their best to make the changes necessary for our comfort and safety. It’s easy to rate a company when all goes well on a trip, but the mark of a quality, client centred company and personnel is when changes and adjustments are needed when something goes wrong. High marks to Go2Africa for the follow up and care given from day one. Highly recommended company. You will be in good hands. Don’t hesitate to use them. Thank you Go2 Africa!

For an experience of a lifetime, Go2Africa will custom create your tour
Jessica from Go2Africa had helped us plan our very first safari. She helped us plan our trip which started at Capetown-- Sabi Sands Game Reserve (Lion Sands River Lodge)--Zimbabwe (Victoria Falls River Lodge)--then to Sable Alley (Okavango Delta, Botswana) - a 2 week tour.
All the arrangements were seamless with only one hitch (not the fault of Go2Africa but at the lodge who got the information wrong) which was immediately addressed as other arrangements were made so we did not miss our transfer to the next site.
I have never been on a safari before and if I had any expectations, Go2Africa's custom tour would definitely exceeded them. I was very pleased with the safari tour Jessica put together and now that I have been "bitten" by the safari "bug", I would definitely book with Go2Africa again for another tour.

Really worked hard for us, modifying and rescheduling our Covid-19 canceled Botswana Safari
We had our dream Botswana safari expertly planned and arranged by Go2Africa and we were ready to go until Covid-19 shut everything down. The team at Go2Africa was diligent and quickly worked with us to accommodate our necessary changes and to successfully reschedule us into the future. We now equally look forward to our upcoming safari experience and thank Go2Africa for their effort, understanding, and help.

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.

November Cape Town and Safari Vacation
First, we want to thank Go2Africa for their outstanding service and commitment to ensure that their clients receive unforgettable vacations. The four of us were especially impressed with Go2Africa’s stress-free service that occurred throughout the initial enquiry, recommendations, payment process, and prompt communication. We couldn’t have asked for a better organization to assist with our travels.
Secondly, we want to thank Ramona for her patience and extraordinary effort in ensuring that the four of us would have a vacation that we will always cherish. After enquiring about Go2Africa’s services, we received a quick response from Ramona explaining that she would be our travel expert to assist in planning our vacation. It is clear that Ramona cares about her clients and invests the time to ensure that their wishes are fulfilled. Ramona took into account all of our considerations and worked with the budget that the four of us were willing to commit to. We are confident in saying that Ramona planned an amazing Cape Town and Safari vacation. We are still amazed at the amount of things we were able to do in just 8 full days of vacation to include Table Mountain, Cape Point Tour, Stellenbosch Wine Tour, and 6 guided safari’s in the Sabi Sands. Ramona’s recommended accommodations in Cape Town and Sabi Sands were outstanding and more luxurious than we originally imagined. Ramona’s guidance in preparing us for the trip (to include vaccinations, what to pack, and many other things to consider while traveling) was extremely helpful. In addition, Ramona’s detailed itinerary made this vacation as stress-free as possible allowing us to enjoy what Cape Town and the Sabi Sands has to offer. Thank you again Ramona for an amazing journey!
There are a few recommendations that we would ask Ramona or Go2Africa to consider. First, the four of us were really disappointed that we were not able to participate in our scheduled cage shark diving excursion during our last day in Cape Town due to inclement weather. Had we known that cancellations often occur for this reason, we would have booked the cage shark diving on the first day of our trip so that we could reschedule in time before we left. Also, we were told we would get refunded for not being able to attend, and it’s taken 3 months to receive reimbursement. Secondly, although the list of recommendations for restaurants in Cape Town was sufficient, we found the list to be a little outdated. We recommend updating the list to include new and popular restaurants in addition to recommendations on when to request reservations. The four of us attempted to dine at the highly acclaimed “Test Kitchen” (not on the list) but when making reservations 3 weeks before, found out that we had to make reservations six months in advance. Lastly, although we were very happy with our guided tours, all the tours were booked through a company called “Ilios”. When our cage shark diving excursion was canceled we decided to go on another wine tour but this time through a different company than Ilios. We would have to say that we enjoyed the alternate company’s wine tour better as we were able to tour more vineyards, and in our opinion, more reputable wineries. We recommend that Go2Africa provide a recommended list of other companies they work with for clients to choose regarding their excursions on vacation.
Even though there were some setbacks along the way, Ramona and Go2Africa were very reliable and helpful in assisting us throughout the whole process from beginning to end. I cannot emphasize enough that this trip was one of the best trips the four of us have ever had the privilege to take. We hope to go back to Africa in the future, and we will most definitely be contacting Ramona and Go2Africa again for their exceptional service.

Another fascinating trip to Africa
We spent 3 nights at Savuti camp in Botswana. We had wonderful food, a great guide , Lucky, and saw a leopard within 5 minutes of arriving at Savuti Camp Airstrip.Kang, Kelly and all the staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious and clean. Our front porch looked out over water and grassy fields where we could watch elephants graze. We even had two occasions where peaceful elephants grazed through the camp!
Banoka Bush Camp was my least favorite camp. Mama Bea was wonderful and welcoming but the cabins were less comfortable and our guide not as easy to work with. Our last camp was Marataba Safari Lodge in South Africa. The four hour car ride gave our grandsons a chance to see city and country roads with the ease of a professional driver. Marataba was everything you would want on a safari trip. Beautiful, expansive views and comfortable common spaces. Our tent, really a suite, was a cool refuge after being out looking for animals. We saw plenty of animals and our guide, Wikus, was so knowledgeable about animal behavior. The food was superior and the staff always accomodating. We would return to Marataba without question.

Amazing!
we went for my husbands 50th (7 of us a a family - all over 18 years old). we flew into joburg and connected straight onto livingstone (we took the option of only a two hour connection - but it was not a problem)...we spent 4 wonderful nights at the royal livingstone hotel......whereby you can walk directly into the victoria falls park and see the falls at their closest. the hotel has zebra, monkeys and giraffe waling around.....amazing.
a river safari and a sunset cruise on the zambezi were both fun. some of us also took a microlight over the falls - stunning views. next stop was sabi sands - flying direct from livingstone into kruger. we stayed at lion sands river lodge...about a two hour drive from the airport...this was the most amazing lodge, the staff were very knowledgeable, you have the same butler for every meal and everything was perfect...we saw the big 5, plus more including wild dogs.......a most amazing time was had by us all and after 3 nights we were sorry to leave. we then flew from kruger to cape and spent 4 nights at he one and only.......to be honest it is not the best one and only we have stayed at, and maybe we should have taken advise and opted for the cape grace, but it was still very nice. in all the trip was a little short (totally our fault for trying to cram everything in - 6 flights in 12 days!!)....another 2/3 days would have been better in terms of relaxing.

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.
