Go2Africa

Piece of Mind on a trip far from home!

When we decided we wanted our honeymoon to be in South Africa, I didn't know where to start. Neither my husband nor I had ever been that far outside of the US and the skeptical and shocked faces of our friends and family when we told them about our plans were starting to make us a bit apprehensive! I stumbled upon Go2Africa after countless hours of scouring the web for reputable travel agencies that were willing to work within our budget. Several agencies had actually told us it was not possible to honeymoon in Africa with the modest budget we had provided. Within only a few hours after my initial inquiry to Go2Africa I received a detailed email with suggestions for the most ideal destinations for our price range, activities that would meet our interests, and luxury-on-a-budget lodging for our honeymoon! They also made sure to ask us exactly what we were interested in doing on our honeymoon so that they could tailor the agenda to our personalities. They entire experience start to finish was incredibly customized and during almost a year of planning they were ready to help every step of the way - even offering to assist with restaurant reservations. We really had to put full trust in their agents to book our flights, our hotels, our transfers, and daily activities. They put together the perfect 12 day honeymoon and every single detail went as planned. The best part of their service was the piece of mind that we had someone looking out for us while we were so far away from home. When we arrived in Africa after 19 hours of travel, we found out that our bags had never left the US. We immediately contacted Tanya at Go2Africa and she not only tracked down our bags but she even arranged for them to be transferred to our next destination in Cape Town. We enjoyed 2 days in Zimbabwe (taking an elephant back safari and visiting the beautiful Victoria Falls) and found our luggage waiting for us in our room when we checked in to Welgelegen guest house in Cape Town! Our Go2Africa agent made sure to check in with us every step of the way and made sure to rearrange and rebook our activities when weather wasn't ideal. To top it all off, she made sure everyone knew we were on our honeymoon and had personalized notes and gift baskets at every hotel we checked in to. Booking our trip through Go2Africa was the best decision we could have made. Our trip to South Africa was life changing and we know we'll be back to this beautiful country - when we do we'll absolutely be contacting Go2Africa to make all of our arrangements!

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.

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.

Definately go to Africa with go2africa!

'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!

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

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

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!

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!

A great experience organized by great people

The service and organization were perfect, the lodges and the staff really matched to our expectations, we had a wonderful stay, delicious food, met very friendly people, saw huge of animals, as never seen before, everything was just perfect. We will travel again with Go2Africa.

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.
