Better then I could have hoped for
5/5

I had planned to go to Africa for years. I saved up, researched everything I wanted to do, and convinced a friend to go with me. When I started to try and do the actual planning I emailed about 15 different companies to ask questions. With Go2Africa, right from my first inquiry, I was continually responded to within 24 hours by Ramona. Go2Africa was the only company that would set up a trip to my exact wants. They did not require me to follow a plan that they already had set out. It was, to me, as if Ramona's only job was to make everything that I wanted to do possible! I appreciated having her feedback and opinions while trying to sort out our trip. As we settled on our safari plans, we asked Ramona some questions about one of our other destinations in Africa, and she was able to help us make arrangements for our non-safari time as well. Before departing, Ramona sent us our detailed itinerary with all of our vouchers for our activities. I don't think it would be possible to say that things could have run any smoother then they did. All of our activities, accommodations, transfers were all organized. We were able to do everything, and see everything that we hoped to see. The places we stayed were well beyond what we hoped. The food was amazing, and the entire time seemed like a fairy tale. We got into the habit of "high-fiving" in Ramona's name after each activity or upon arrival at each new location. Both my friend and I have traveled extensively, and we both agreed that never have we had such a flawless vacation. In one of our stops in Botswana, we met a woman from Germany, who had also used Go2Africa for her trip. We spent a meal comparing our experiences with different operators for the same company, and agreed that we had the same service. Our trips were completely different, intersecting at only this one camp in the Okavanga Delta, but our appreciation for Go2Africa was the same. If you are planning a trip of a life time to Africa, I would recommend Go2Africa, and Ramona in a heartbeat.

Exceeded expectations! A wonderful and comfortable traveling experience!
5/5

Everything went smoothly, as planned with no surprises. Airline flights were as arranged. Guides in each country were at the airports to pick us up on time. The guides in Tanzania for our safari and in Rwanda were both exceptional! In Zambia, a different guide met us for each separate adventure. All were prompt, but we did not spend much time with any one of them. The Tanzanian and Rwandan guides' expertise and friendliness really enhanced our trip. The lodges and hotels that Go2Africa arranged for us to stay at were first rate, but not 5 star, so the cost was reasonable.

Fabulous experience
5/5

We have had eight days on Safari in Tanzania and it has been a wonderful holiday. Everything was so well organized and ran like clockwork. We were picked up on time, driven round the National Parks by an excellent guide with an amazing knowledge and very keen spotting skills. We visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti and viewed a huge range of animals. We can't thank Go2Africa enough for arranging it all.

Botswana Tour
5/5

We had great expectations about this trip but this were exceeded by far. Anza in Go2africa had arranged a 8 days safari to Botswana starting in Maun with flight to Tau Pan camp. After two nights we fly to Pom Pom camp and from there to Kwando Lagoon camp and finally to Elephant camp in Zimbawe. All the camps were perfect with nice tents and managements. The top and most elegant was Elephant camp. Every camp had top guides who spoke perfect English and knew a lot about the area. We saw the Big Five except for the Rhino. The weather was beautiful and we had only rain one night. Thanks again to Anza in Office for a great tour and a lot of good and useful information in front of the tour. We will recommend this Company to our friends in Norway.
A last tip: We found out that 2 Nights stay in each camp was enough, then you get both morning game rides and evening game rides.

Absolutely incredible, especially as a first time visitor to Africa!
5/5

2.5 weeks prior to my visit to Africa, I wasn't sure where I wanted to go, or what I wanted to do. Over a Google search, I came across Africa as a destination, specifically Tanzania. Within an hour, I did a little research on some camps and reached out to Go2Africa in the process. Their response was fast and within 4 days, communicating only via e-mail, I had everything booked in exceptional camps (Nomad Serengeti Safari and Lamai), including all transfer flights, within the budget I was targeting. The process was completely seamless and given a number of unknowns for a first-time visitor to Africa, Lauren from Go2Africa made everything so simple.

A little about the camps I stayed at... My first camp was Nomad's Serengeti Safari which I was staying at for the Migration season. I actually had never camped before either and Nomad's camp was so easy to adjust to. The accommodations were nice, staff was friendly, the other guests were fantastic, and the food was incredible! Most of all, Ian showed me a great time on my game drives, ensuring I was able to make the most of my time there to see all the animals! My second camp was in the north at Lamai Serengeti. As soon as I arrived, I was shocked at just how beautiful the place really was. The pictures online simply don't do it justice. Overlooking the plains, Lamai has probably the best location for miles around with some of the most luxuriously rooms. The management team and staff were really friendly, and it was always a treat to catch up with them after a long day. My guide was Laz who was incredibly knowledgeable and patient. When I landed, I told Laz I really wanted to see a Rhino to complete my big 5 and he was determined to show me one, which he delivered! Overall, a fantastic experience which I highly recommend to anyone!

Greatest knowledge and friendliest staff ever!
5/5

My wife and I went on our honeymoon to South Africa from Dec 7-23, 2014 and while planning the trip, we could not have been more pleased with the knowledge, friendliness, and accessibility of Go2Africa, in particular, Kiah Preyer! We worked with Go2Africa for the safari and lodge we went on and stayed at (Simbambili Game Lodge in Kruger) as well as the accommodations and recommendations for South African's Wine Country, Franschhoek.

Kiah and her team were attentive and provided various options for what my wife and I were looking for in our safari experience as well as our Wine Country experience in Franschhoek. Beyond just the areas we directly worked with Go2Africa on, when we asked Kiah for her own personal recommendations on restaurants to eat at, sites to see, logistics (ie. gratuity customs, taxis vs. hired cars, etc.), she was quick to provide a response and never steered us in the wrong direction.

It really was a pleasure to work with Kiah and Go2Africa and will be calling on them again for my next African vacation!

A safari that surpassed all expectations!
5/5

I want to thank Shelley and the Go2Africa team for a safari experience that surpassed all my expectations. The first thing that impressed me is that Shelly took the time to ask me what kind of experience I was looking for and what I hoped to get out of the trip. Based on the fact that I would be traveling alone and wanted something comfortable but not too over the top, she recommended Chapunga Tent Camp in Thornybush Private Reserve. I really did not know what to expect but she was spot on! Everything about the trip was perfect from the flawless travel arrangements to the accommodations to the safari itself. The staff at Chapunga were as nice as can be; the rooms and grounds were lovely and comfortable, and the food absolutely delicious. I loved the intimacy of 16 max guests (we only had five -- even better!). Best of all was the safari itself. I cannot say enough about Kilmon (our guide) and Oscar (our tracker). Their passion for the animals and Thornybush was clear and they really knew what they were doing. We saw everything we could have wanted and then some. The highlight among so many was tracking leopards and driving straight through the bush in order to find a mom and her son somewhat hidden in the bush. We saw them "munching on lunch" and then followed them as they went to the watering hole for a drink. It was just amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have memories to last a lifetime and can't wait to come back. You can be sure that when I do I'll be calling you to help make my arrangements!
