Fairly prices good quality tour
Me and my friend worked with Baraka and had very pleasant experience. First of all, Baraka was very responsive, he answered to us almost immediately which I find very important because when you are traveling, a lot of things are time sensitive. We texted him at around 9 am while we were taking a ferry to Dar that we need to go to Mikumi asap, and guest what, he met as at 11 am with the car so we started the trip. Second, price was just great. It was only me and my friend, we didn't share our car or jeep with anyone. Meals were great. Hotel where we stayed the night before safari was just AWESOME. So cozy and clean, we didn't expect it at all. Jeep was open so it was so easy to observe animals. Final, the safari itself was great and very well organized.

An incredible and surprising journey into places I could not imagine!
I've never gone on safari before...I've never used this service...and I really didn't know what to expect. I felt like there was a chance I could be scammed but boy was I incredibly wrong.
I signed up for a tour here with the intent of just wanting to see some animals on a Safari while I was in Cape Town and I received so much more. I got a geography lessons, cultural insights, the best thing I ate on my vacation, animal friendships, and a new brother from our tour guide Ben-G (Benjamin)
Although we only had 4 days, Benjamin lived up to all expectations in making this a really customized trip. He genuinely listened to my requests, remained flexible, and brought us to so many interesting things. My partner and I are younger folks who wanted adventure and Benjamin definitely delivered but he also made sure to be attentive and reactive to our needs throughout the experience. If we ever needed anything or needed a change of plans, he was accommodating. And so much so, that there were just pleasant surprises all throughout our tour experience -- I won't spoil anything as I know that's part of Benjamin's magic itinerary planning but I would say trust in the man and come with an open mind. You can certainly tell the man is passionate about Africa, its people, and its animals and has the knowledge to back it up. It made me wonder why I don't know a quarter of the things about my hometown compared to the encyclopedia-like knowledge he knew about EVERYWHERE we were. Learned quite a bit just being around him!
I came for a safari and quite frankly my highlights were pretty much all things beyond that, which really just shows you how adept Benjamin is at figuring out your needs and giving you a unique experience you can't find on your own. I'm excited to return back to Africa and to go on a longer journey with Benjamin and we've even taken some of his catch-phrases with us back to the states. Classic!
Please don't hesitate with choosing these guys. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a real taste of Africa.

Every moment was carefully planned, at times to exhaustion, but very good
Very happy, especially with our time at Songimvelo

More than expected
This was a trip of a lifetime for me. My expectations went over and beyond. Cannot wait to go back and will not travel with anyone but Go Touchdown. They made my dream come true

Trip of a lifetime!
I booked my trip at a travel show not knowing what to expect since I booked my trip at the first table I stopped at. Traveling to Africa had always been on my mind since I was 10 years old. Now being retired, I figured it was out of my reach. After talking with Marie, I realized this was a trip I was willing to take a chance on as a single traveler. I only have positive things to say about my trip to South Africa. From the time I was met at the airport, to the time I was dropped off at the airport, I was treated with the utmost respect. I wasn't sure how I would fit in with my four other fellow travelers but my driver Bill and guide Richard made me feel welcomed every minute of the trip. The staff is very professional while having a casual sense of humor to keep things moving in a positive direction. My experience in the bush while at Humala Lodge surpassed anything I could have ever dreamed up in my mind. I would highly recommend traveling with Go Touchdown Tours and hope to travel with them to South Africa again in the future. I am forever grateful that I ended up traveling with a tour group that focused on making sure I was happy while I was traveling on this big adventure. I loved every minute of it!

The most amazing experience of my life time and I have lived and traveled all over the world!
If you have ever wanted to visit South Africa and go on safari Go Touch Down Travels is the way to go. It is first class all the way. My group did a week in Cape Town and a week Safari. Having a small group of only 6 is key. I wouldn’t want to do it any other way. Cape Town was amazing. We saw and did everything and more. We also ate at the best restaurants breakfast lunch and dinner. The accommodations were above my expectations. We had excellent communication before the trip. During the trip I couldn’t believe the care and attention each of us was given. We were a demanding group and our guides exceeded our expectations as well.
The safari week was even better. Their reserve is special as are the accommodations. A magical place. The places we visited outside of the reserve were world wonders. Everyday I had tears in my eyes with the beauty. The value is excellent. My family and friends who have done similar tours with other companies paid much more, had huge groups, the accommodations didn’t compare and the places they ate were not nearly as high end as Go Touch Down. Especially if you have a family or a group this is the company to use. Thank you Go Touch Down for the trip of a lifetime.

never to forget
So many thanks to this website for my first Safari.
This is a very user-friendly website for all visitors who like to go themselves
Our tour guide and the agency are very nice and responsible for all our needs such as picking us up at the location we stayed and sent us to the other city, Bagamoyo.
Mikumi is so beautiful for natural, and the weather was hot but dry and windy.
Cannot say anything but thanks to nature. Just escaped from the annoying things outside the world.
Nature gives a lot of energy.

Great Safari experience in Selous!
Before going to Tanzania, we hadn't really planned on going on a safari, but looking back, we're really glad we did! Driving to Selous from Dar es Salaam was great to see more of the country. We had a good vibe in the car, nice convos and a delicious local meal on the way to our camp. After arrival, we rested and then did a great boat safari. The game drive the next day was really interesting. Lenard was knowleadable, fun to talk to and except for Zebras we managed to spot all game we had hoped to see. Simply a great guide & a great guy! We can definitely recommend doing a Safari with Goin Green Safari Tours and advise you to book the tour directly with him.
ASANTE SANA!!

The safari experience of a lifetime!
My Nasera Safari adventure the last two weeks in January 2019 far exceeded my expectations! Our driver and guide, Lube, was a wealth of knowledge about the culture and customs of Tanzania, and he seemed to have a sixth sense about when and where to find wildlife. We specifically wanted to photograph the animals of the four national parks we visited, and Lube made that happen, always positioning the Land Cruiser for the best camera angles, and always scouting the horizon for birds and mammals. And every night, after a day full of photography, we relaxed in the wonderful lodges we stayed in. If you want the safari experience of a lifetime, I cannot recommend Nasera Safari more highly.
