Diligent, accommodating, friendly, professional, best travel agent ever
I thank Go Touch Down travel for providing me with the most exhilarating journey of a lifetime. Go Touchdown was flexible with my payment plan & helped me to meet my travel goals. Angie & the Go Touch Down team took care of ALL the details. Everything I needed was provided in a timely manner. Angie, my travel agent was available to answer questions and take care of all of my needs before and during my journey. The hotel arrangements were exceptional. All tours & excursions helped me to discover and learn the beauty of South Africa, Capetown, & Zimbabwe. I highly recommend Go Touch Down to everyone I talk to about my trip and to anyone consider the journey. Go Touch Down is definitely a highly professional travel company and I will call on them again for more trips to Africa.

Very helpful
It was very well organised. All food provided was excellent and there was plenty of it. There was so much to see. I think that an overnight stay in Kruger would have been beneficial so that we could see the wild life in the early morning as well. There was again so much to see and very little time when we were only there for the day. The tour guides were very informative. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. It is unfortunate that we were unable to walk outside of the reserve itself because they do not have a gun licence. The scenery and wild life were breathtaking.

They were very professional
I booked a trip with Go Touch Down Travel for a Kruger safari and Victoria Falls tour. Angie and her staff were very professional. The accommodations provided were top notch. Meals were well prepared and tasty. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. I gave them a four-star rating as part of the safari required me to take a flight to one of the safari locations, however only a last-minute observation prevented me from being left at the location after the safari. The flight did not include a return. This return flight became an additional expense. Notwithstanding the return flight mix up, I would recommend Go Touch Down Travel to others.

We had an incredible experience with Go Touchdown Tours at Tshukudu Game Lodge!
We had an incredible experience with Go Touchdown Tours at Tshukudu Game Lodge. The staff was wonderful, always friendly and attentive. The guides were knowledgeable and made our game drives unforgettable. The food was delicious, offering a variety of tasty options. The accommodation was amazing, providing comfort and stunning views. Highly recommended for an unforgettable safari adventure! Price was great and worth every penny. Communication with staff beforehand was on point, while at the lodge staff kept us informed. Very reliable and we can't wait to go again!

Very knowledgeable in the tracking of the animals and had a fantastic personality.
This was our once in a lifetime vacation and it didn't disappoint. The staff was very friendly and helpful while we were there. You'll never go hungry because they feed you four times a day and the food was great! We saw were able to see almost ALL of the animals and get plenty of pictures. Would highly recommend this to anyone.

Journey of a Lifetime in Africa
Our trip to Africa with Go Touch Down Travel & Tours was everything we hoped for. Our group of 11 found the guides, accommodations, meals and excursions to all be first class and well organized. The level of customer service both before the trip and during our travels was exceptional and we felt very well taken care of. In Capetown and the surrounding area, we experienced so many wonderful things including whale watching, penguins, seals, a diamond / tanzanite factory, Robbens Island, and a tour of Langa Township. Once on safari, we were treated to many animal sightings including giraffes, zebra, ostrich, elephants, rhinos, wildebeests, lions, baboons, and hippos, just to name a few...:) We were most impressed with the extremely comfortable accommodations everywhere we stayed and the meals were always first class and plentiful. In addition, our guides both in Capetown and on Safari were knowledgeable, flexible, and a lot of fun! As a bonus, we extended our trip to spend 2 days near Victoria Falls in Zambia which was equally spectacular and well worth the additional time. Overall, we agreed that it was, indeed, a "Journey of a Lifetime" and we have hundreds of photos and wonderful memories to show for it.

Fabulous Safari Adventure
A safari was always on our bucket list. Despite our many travels around the globe, this safari was an incredible experience and a fun adventure. The Go Touch Down staff took good care of us and were responsive to our every need. The accommodations, meals, entertainment, transportation, and knowledgeable guides were all outstanding, and South Africa is beautiful. The trip included a variety of stops that showcased waterfalls and mountains and other wonders of the country, and while on safari we managed to see a wide range of animals in their natural habitat -- giraffes, zebras, elephants, hippos, rhinos, wildebeests, antelopes, and kudus, to name a few.
As part of the safari trip organized by Go Touch Down, we also visited Pilanesberg, a lion sanctuary, and an elephant sanctuary, which gave us a much closer look at the animals and the efforts to protect them. Those side trips offered additional photo opportunities.
Although my husband and I were traveling together, our small safari group included some singles, work friends, and a few other couples. Everyone seemed to have a great time and we made friends with each other, remaining in contact after returning to our home countries.

Africa via Go Touch Down was Splended
My best friend and I went on the Signature Adventure Experience (11 days) tour and it was, simply put, AH-mazing. All the stay locations were lovely with a good amount of wilderness, animals, luxury and food. Food was exceptional, if not, too much at Humala River Lodge (3 meals and 2 big snacks a day). While some days spotting animals was difficult on game reserves that are 49,000 acres plus, it was still a magical adventure trying to find them. The views at Humala River Lodge were stunning, Seasons Resort and Spa was wonderful despite the torrential rains and I can't say enough about Belle Maroc in Cape Town (views, service and food to die for). Truly an enjoyable trip and worth every penny. I haven't stopped talking about it since I returned. Fair warning there were bats in our rooms at Humala River Lodge. That is the only negative. I never saw one, but my BFF did.
