Definately go to Africa with go2africa!
5/5

'Planning the holiday of my dreams for a big birthday I didn't know where to start but so happy with my choice of Go2Africa and a huge thank you to my travel consultant Ashley Greonevelt. From first contact they were so helpful as I had many questions and ideas. I was a little concerned booking with an agency overseas but realised their knowledge and expertise exceeded any agency I had spoken to in the UK. Ashley discussed my interests at length and helped me select an itinerary perfect for me. I chopped and changed bits through the months leading up to the holiday but none of this was ever a problem for Ashley. South African air lines were fantastic throughout. We stayed in 4 places, Cascades hotel Sun City, Shepherd's tree in Pilennesburg, Madikwe safari lodge in Madikwe, More apartments Cape Town, all exceeded expectations despite looking fantastic in the brochures. Excellent staff, facilities, location, food and facilities. The main aim of my holiday was to go on safari. Both Pilensberg and Madiwke were excellent choices, as we gain different experiences from a national then private game reserve and were lucky enough to see the magnificent 7, forget the highly sought after big 5! The safari guides showed outstanding knowledge of the animals and the landscape making sure each drive was tailored to your interests. I also booked a lot of excursions, including hot air balloon, abseil off table mountain, shark dive, cape peninsula tour, and all transfers through Go2Africa and these ran like clockwork and were the icing on the most amazing birthday cake! I could go on for hours... thank you so much Ashley and Go2Africa it really was the trip of a life time!'

Trip of a Lifetime!
5/5

Our honeymoon was made special by Bronwyn, the best in the business. She always responded in a timely manner with more information than expected. Every detail was discussed which made the entire experience while in SA and Mauritius that much better. I am recommending Go2Africa to all my friends as well as using Bronwyn's expertise. Thanks!

Go2Africa was wonderful-prompt, efficient and timely
5/5

Go2Africa exceeded my expectations. The arrangements they booked for our safari with &Beyond lodges were exceptional. Go2Africa also booked all our flights--it was coordinated perfectly. Everything down to the final detail was taken care of and all of our requests were fulfilled to make this a trip of a lifetime. We had one transportation issue and our agent, Lauren Johansson immediately responded and helped to resolve the matter immediately. I would strongly recommend Go2Africa to anyone planning a safari.

A Four Day Safari to the Masai Mara - Scheduled Fully by Go2Africa
5/5

Emma Harrop at Go2Africa handled the planning of this trip for me. I have tended in the past to organise holiday trips myself. However I was persuaded by a friend to let Emma organise this one and I'm glad I did. Every little detail including flights, transfers, accommodation, ballooning and our catering requests (kosher food and cooking were a requirement for us) was arranged efficiently and effectively, with thorough consultation and communication throughout.
The trip itself was a spectacular success! The whole family (myself, my wife and my four children aged 23, 22, 19 and 12) would agree that this ranks amongst our best ever holidays. Some highlights included: seeing the Wildebeest crossing; the early morning ballooning over the Mara plains; the amazing breadth and variety of wildlife spotting; the fabulous accommodation and catering together with the warm and attentive care of the managers Tracy and Nelis Wolmarans and all of their staff at Governors Lodge; and the charming enthusiasm of Markham Boston our balloon pilot.

We used Go2Africa for our honeymoon in 2010 and loved every minute!
5/5

We used Lauren at Go2Africa to plan our honeymoon and found her to be very knowledgeable and helpful. She was easy to communicate with and gave us good insights into which camps/hotels to stay at. The safari operator they partnered with was top notch and our safari guide was amazing! We spent some time in Zanzibar after our safari and loved our stay there also. The whole 2 week trip went off without a hitch and we have awesome memories from it! I would definitely book a safari trip with Go2Africa again!

We booked the trip with only tree weeks of advance, and they did a very personalized plan, with private planes and specific places we asked about.

A Very Professional Outfit who delivered Great Value
5/5

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!
5/5

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.

Incredible Dream Honeymoon
5/5

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!
