Anja Naude and Go2Africa made our safari trip a reality and a wonderful and memorable experience
5/5

We are just back from an incredible 10-days in South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. We wanted to thank Anja Naude and Go2Africa for making this dream safari a reality. The trip was a year in planning and from the first contact, which was a general inquiry on a trip to Kruger, to its conclusion, it was a delight to work on the details with Anja. After looking at the itineraries on offer, we decided on creating our own. Anja listened and gave us realistic options. We appreciated having access to her knowledge, expertise and connections. Any and all communications and questions had a reply from her within 24 hours. We were able to book our lodge early enough to avail of the 2014 rates. The payment system made was efficient and trouble-free. All the choices -- from flights, accommodations and activities -- were superb with the group loathe to leave each stop as they could not believe it could get better.

The Residence Lodge was the perfect welcome stop for the long trip to Johannesburg. It quickly got us into vacation mode. Leadwood Lodge was over-the-top. We will review this separately but let me say that this probably should be the last stop on the itinerary as anything after it will suffer in comparison. The kids were "homesick" the first day of our next stop and they didn't mean the USA. They wanted to go home to Martha, Chris, Justin, John, Isaac and Patricia at Leadwood Lodge. The activities in Livingstone and Victoria Falls (segway, quad biking, zipline, Angel Pool and Vic Falls, cruising) were the perfect complement to our safari adventures.

All the flights -- international from the UK and USA and all regional flights -- worked very well. We were very glad we opted for the air transfers to and from the lodge as it maximized our time there. The air transfer to Ulusaba got us there before lunch and we went on our first drive that evening. Booking the flight from Ulusaba to Mpumalanga allowed us to fit in a morning game drive -- a fitting farewell to the safari leg of our trip.

The connections and transfer arrangements to and from the airports were punctual, reliable and worked flawlessly, i.e., Ilios in Johannesburg, the staff at Leadwood and Wild Horizons for our Livingstone leg. These were very welcome after a long trip into unfamiliar territory. Knowing our transfers were reliably sorted allowed us to focus on the trip activities. We appreciated the assistance at the Zambia/Zimbabwe border. It made our activities in the Zim side so much more enjoyable.

I wanted to thank Anja especially for the special touches and surprises that made my sister's 50th birthday so special for her and for us. I joined in on the delight at the special surprise cake and champagne celebration under the Merula tree at Leadwood. Our last activity was the Ultimate River Cruise on the Zambezi. They sang Happy Birthday once we boarded the African Queen and led us to the Captain's table. This was truly special and a perfect ending to our dream trip.

Anja and Go2Africa made our safari trip a reality and a wonderful and memorable experience. We are going back and we will do so with Anja and Go2Africa as our indispensable partners. Thank you once again from Marissa, Ellen, Beci, Mark, James & Sabrina.

The only way to Go2Africa
5/5

Lauren from Go2Africa has done it again for my recent trip to Joburg and Botswana April/May 2016. She organised 2 fly in safari's at Moremi Camp and Savute Safari Park which were 5 star all the way. Mentioning I loved photography Lauren booked us the Pangolin Wildlife Photographic Course in Kasane for 5 days and 4 nights. This was brilliant and our tutor Janelle made this course so interesting both on the Chobe River and in the Chobe National Park. I highly recommend all these safaris to one and all a must to be added to anyone's bucket list.

Absolutely flawless
5/5

I have used the company four different times in travels to Africa. I find them to be readily able to be flexible, depending on one's budget. Even if traveling alone, Go2Africa has no problem planning. You simply tell them what your goals are regarding an individual trip and they immediately plan, along the way sharing possible itineraries until you have the perfect plan.
I had no problems with the four trips I've taken. Even when KLM canceled a flight on one trip, setting me back one day, my agent was able to plan around this. I highly recommend them.

Excellent service, outstanding attention to detail
5/5

This trip was the 3rd one I'd taken through this company. Anja was able to put together a flawless package for me. Prior to going to Rwanda the airline had a problem that delayed me one day from leaving. Anja was able to handle this problem and the trip came off without further difficulty. I plan to use this company again next year. At no time was I left wondering what would happen next. Everyone I have come into contact with has been outstanding.

Wonderful and beyond helpful!
5/5

We used Go2Africa to plan our safari. As first-time travelers to Africa from the US, we had a ton of questions. Bianca was amazing and there for us every step of the way. She found a lodge with openings on short notice after we had to reschedule our South Africa trip to Kenya. The lodge we stayed at was incredible and we ended up adding an extra night while we were there. Bianca helped coordinate our stay for an extra night and that meant the world to us! We are already working with Bianca to plan our next trip and highly recommend using Go2Africa.
