Fast and efficient organisation
Fast and efficient service and proposals
Pleasant and wellcoming agent
Disappointed by Sun City : in winter too cold for water activities + no dinner facilities at Cabanas Hotel
Good advice for the safari lodge Black Rhino : pond in front of the lodge, animals come to drink + very warm wellcoming staff + a very interesting guide - a very special experience.

Outstanding customer service and expertise
I live in the United States and was referred to Ramona at Go2Africa to help plan my week-long trip to South Africa. Ramona was extremely helpful in all aspects of the planning. Even when she was out of the office for a few days, she was able to have someone else continue the planning portion and answer any questions I had. The entire process was flawless and we had no issues with any of the reservations made by Go2Africa. They always had good recommendations on what to do, where to go, etc. In addition, I traveled to West Africa on business the week prior to my vacation and had made my own flight reservations from Nigeria to South Africa. A few hours before my flight, my reservation was lost and I was unable to make other flight arrangements. I called Ramona at Go2Africa and the team there was able to get me on a flight out within a few hours. I highly recommend the services provided by Go2Africa and will definitely utilize them again should I ever travel back to Africa.

A fabulous once in a lifetime experience
We were two couples traveling to S. Africa, Zambia, and Botswana for the first time. We just completed a 15 day trip, returning on 9/11. We started to plan the trip over 8 months ago, and chose Go2Africa with some hesitation as there were not a lot of recent reviews available.
We planned this trip as a "once in a lifetime" trip, and worked with Mary Keet of Go2Africa. Our preference was to have everything taken care of - from pickup at the airport, lodging, air, private tours, etc. The only arrangements we made independently were the international flights to and from the USA to Johannesburg. We asked for high end camps and accommodations.
Mary Keet was an absolute pleasure to work with. She listened to our needs and was very patient as we provided feedback on itineraries. After the itinerary had been completed, the other couple suddenly realized that the dates did not work for them, and we had to change the dates by a week or so. Again Mary was very understanding, and had to make numerous changes as some of the camps were not available on the new dates. What I especially liked was the promptness in responding to my emails, as well as the ability to get a hold of Mary on the phone.
Our trip involved visiting Cape Town, Sabi Sands in the Kruger National Park, Livingstone, Zambia (Victoria Falls), and two different camps in Botswana. My reviews of Exeter River Lodge, Sussi and Chuma, Nxabega Tented Camps, and Chiefs Camp can be found on Tripadvisor.com.
The entire trip was flawless and completely stress free. We were received at JNB and taken to the hotel (Intercontinental at the airport), and we had an morning flight to Capetown. We were received at the Capetown airport and taken to our hotel (Victoria Hotel), and the private guided tours were exactly according to our itinerary. When we decided to change what we wanted to do in Capetown on the second day, Go2Africa made it happen without any fuss. There was always someone waiting to greet us at every airport.
Every flight - including the charter flights between camps - were exactly as planned. We loved the itinerary that Mary put together, and we were happy with her choices for our lodging for the most part.
Bottom line, I would have no hesitation in recommending Go2Africa. We found them to be courteous, professional, patient, and their execution was flawless.

2 weeks in Zambia organised by Ramona
We decided to book our very first trip to Africa with Go2Africa, because we had read quite a lot of positive reviews, and were not disappointed. Ramona managed to plan a trip according to our budget and needs. We spent one week in Lower Zambezi NP in three different but equally wonderful camps. We saw a lot of wild animals and wonderful sights. People were very friendly and knowledgeable. Most of all, we told Ramona that we wanted to visit Livingston/Victoria falls, but after the hustle and bustle of the place, we wanted to relax in a secluded but luxury hotel. She managed to find a wonderful hotel by the Zambezi River, so we went back home having been able to rest before going back to work. A tremendous experience, probably our best holidays ever. We would definitely recommend Go2Africa.

Rikke was great to work with!
This was our first safari trip, and I decided to go with Go2Africa. Working with Rikke was a great experience. She was very helpful, and answered tons of questions that we had (some repeatedly). She worked with our custom needs and budgets. On top of all this, our Safari/CapeTown trip was excellent! We stayed at Elephants Plain Lodge and Thorny Bush Main Lodge for Safari's, which were EXCELLENT!! Then in CapeTown we stayed at Walden House which was OK. I wasn't too delighted with their service.

Professional, efficient and delivered in every way
I booked a one week safari in Kenya for two people through Go2Africa, all done by email. A bespoke, varied programme was put together for us which proved to be quite excellent. We stayed in Porini camps in Amboseli and the Mara which embrace the conservancy project which empowers the local community. Our camps and our guides were superb and we were well looked after and saw lots of amazing sights. All arrangements worked well and we were always met at the right times and places by friendly knowledgeable people. I highly recommend Go2Africa and the local company Gamewatchers who were responsible for all local arrangements.

Our trip was just amazing.
Everything was outstanding. The planning was just perfect and we don’t have anything to complain about. The safaris were very nice, the rangers were knowledgeable about everything and the hotels we stayed at are wonderful. I can easily say that this was my best vacation ever.

My wife and I used Go2Africa to help plan a safari/beach trip for our honeymoon.
Go2Africa and specifically Ms. Liprini were an excellent resource in helping me put together an African component to our honeymoon. Traveling to Botswana for safari and then to Mozambique for a relaxing end to our vacation on the beach was well-organized and allowed us to choose from a variety of different locations/outfitters, etc... As such, we were able to tailor our trip in the direction in which we wanted it to go (camping for safari but relaxing on a remote beach for the back-end of the trip...) Lisa was incredibly helpful for the entire process, from introductions to flying home, and I do think she was instrumental in helping me put everything together. I would recommend her services to anyone thinking about making a trip like ours.

Go2Africa provides an excellent service.
It's my third time using Go2Africa and my second safari. About the safaris, both were AWESOME. Great service in all camps, great food and drinks. Very nice guides/drivers. We were able to see all Big 5 in both safaris, Masai Mara 2013 and Serengeti 2014. We are already thinking about a third safari for 2015. Thanks to Maureen Stover for organizing this unforgettable experience.
