5+ Stars for The GoTouchDown team for outstanding service from start to finish!!!
Back in the fall of 2023 my wife and I were discussing travel plans for 2025 to celebrate birthday and anniversary milestones and shared our thoughts with Lucia at GoTouchDown and when she suggested traveling to South Africa for Safari she drew our interest immediately. The more information she provided, the more we loved the idea and so we decided not to wait until 2025 and booked for the first two weeks of August. Lucia and her team were very thorough in planning and preparing us for our trip.
We spent 3 days in the Waterberg Biosphere area at the Royal Morubisi and saying this it was a 5 star resort is an understatement. A beautiful resort, excellent and friendly staff, outstanding food, and terrific morning and afternoon safaris.
After the Watersberg Biosphere area, we travelled north to the Kruger NP area and stayed at the Tshukudu Game Lodge. Again excellent staff, great morning and evening safari's and a full day at Kruger National Park.
After the Kruger NP area we had three days at Victoria Falls. If you have not seen Victoria Falls, it is breathtaking and a must see. We also had a full day at Chobe National Park which started out with a boat ride on the Chobe River and then a safari tour in the park. Lots of elephants, hippos, giraffes, just to name a few.
Anyone who is thinking about a safari trip, my recommendation is to do it AND book with GoTouchDown!!!

Very friendly and knowledgeable and passionate about their work, township and people.
We went on the traditional village experience and our guide, Harrison, was very knowledgeable, well spoken and passionate about his work and how he can assist the local families and his community. The tour was a real eye opener to the harsh lifestyle for these families under current conditions and yet they were very obliging and warmly welcoming us in to their family home.
We would strongly recommend and advocate this tour in your visit to Victoria Falls as a way to directly assist those in real need.

Greenfire lodge Safari booked via the Kruger Safari Co.
Exceptional communication and management of our booking with a wonderful safari lodge recommended. All details provided via email and WhatsApp. Great experience.
It's super cool
I had an unforgettable experience with Hekima Safari Tours. Their attention to detail and knowledge of the region made our trip exceptional. From the breathtaking wildlife to the comfortable lodgings, everything was perfect. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore East Africa

Kind Tour Operator and Fun Safari
It was a very enjoyable safari, where I could see various animals.
I think I was able to experience more than I paid for.
The tour guide Francis was a very polite and nice person.
Lesley is a great spotter of wildlife and was very engaging.
what a nice brief but comprehensive 2 day safari with a knowledgeable guide

An unforgettable experience
Rose was available and reactive from the quote step to the end, always smiling and listening.
She picked us up herself at our hotel at the beginning, kept our luggages during the safari and picked us up again at the end to take us back to our hotel.
The safari itself was amazing, we had the chance to see a lot of different animals (even a rhino on the second day!).
The driver was kind and patient during the whole safari, allowing us to discover the different parks.
The car was spacious and allowed us to see everything well, thanks to the opened car roof.
The lodge accommodation could have been better but was okay for a night.

Intimate knowledge of the country , professional , and a great desire to provide the best service
This was our 4th visit to Namibia and we had a wonderful 15 days visiting the Cheetah Conservation Centre , Damaraland and Twyfelfontein , the Skeleton Coast , Etosha NP , and Swakopmund .
Great Explorations provided the very best service in terms of customer information pack , briefing , personal support in terms of booking restaurants, accomodation and guided activities demonstrating their intimate knowledge of the country and tourism contacts . We always seem to have the very best positions in terms of bush chalet/tented accomodation and restaurant table reservations . The vehicle was the best we have hired in Africa and the support briefing was comprehensive in case of breakdown , punctures etc albeit we had no problems whatsoever with the vehicle [Toyota Hillux ]
This was our best trip to Namibia for wildlife with Etosha and Damaraland providing incredible sightings of everything we would have hoped for[Lions ,Cheetahs , leopards , Desert Elephants ,Black Rhino particularly at the floodlit waterholes in the National Park , and whales at Walvis Bay ]
All accomodation was booked by Great Explorations and all ranged from good to excellent . People of Namibia were as always friendly , providing great service and very often displaying amazing multi-language skills even in the remotest of places
We would fully recommend Great Explorations if you are planning a self drive visit to Namibia

Excellent Service and Amazing Experience
I found Sercar Serengeti Safari through Safaribookings.com and was immediately contacted by John who gave me a call to discuss what I was looking for. As it was our honeymoon, we opted for a 3 day, 2 night safari from Arusha to the Serengeti where we spent two nights, visiting Ngorongoro on the third day on the way back to Arusha.
John arranged a private Jeep which picked us up from Arusha Airport and even had a photo of my wife and I on the spare tyre of the Safari car which picked us up, that was a very unique touch. John also arranged some champagne for my wife and I to enjoy at our leisure during the Safari.
Now to the Safari, our guide Lossi made it his mission to ensure we enjoyed the trip and provided us with information at every stop. His knowledge and experience was important as it meant that we were able to see the rare animals which I will state below.
John also booked a lovely camp within the Serengeti where we spent two nights, it was truly amazing, clean, and safe despite hearing and seeing animals in the evening - this really gave us a Safari feel.
John also arranged a balloon Safari for us, which was the highlight of our trip. We were picked up by the balloon company and taken to the central Serengeti at 5 am where we had an amazing balloon Safari followed by a bush breakfast. I would highly recommend this, it is truly worth every penny! After the balloon Safari, Lossi met us at the visitor centre to start our day’s game drive.
Truly exceptional service and good value for money. These guys know what they are doing and they are reliable. I would advise choosing them over others as they stand out in a few ways mentioned above, as well as their experience.
