It was a good safari expience.
The tour was great. However I do question the drive to Kampala on Friday Oct. 3. We were stuck in traffic for over three hours. We arrived too late to do anything but have a late dinner and go to bed.

Go2Africa will help you organise the holiday of a lifetime.
We travelled to South Africa with our 16 year old grandson for a special birthday treat. We discovered Go2Africa quite by accident and were so glad we did. Our dealings with Ashley at Go2Africa were excellent. All our queries were answered promptly. The overall cost of the tour that we put together was very good when compared with identical quotes from travel agents in Australia. Nothing went wrong on the whole trip - drivers for our private transfers were waiting to collect us from airports and hotels on time, (although we had to change our transfer time from Tau Game Lodge when we realised we would not get to the airport on time). The safari lodges chosen were fantastic! Pondoro had the most amazing food, Kapama Southern had the most amazing accommodation - would highly recommend the luxury family suites, and at Tau the rooms overlooked the waterhole (very close) and we had amazing sightings of wildlife. They even upgraded our grandson to his own room. All three lodges had excellent food, rooms, staff and game drives. The family room at Cascades, Sun City was probably the biggest disappointment. The room was smaller than the bathroom in our suite at Kapama! Also the water park at Sun City is pretty tame compared with water parks in Australia. However we played golf on 2 days on the Gary Player course, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The cost of a private lesson from the caddies was incredibly inexpensive and our grandson's golf improved a great deal. We would highly recommend Go2Africa to any travellers wanting to plan their South African holiday.

Trip of a lifetime
I booked my tour with Kiah. My trip exceeded my expectations. The price was fair, the lodges AMAZING, transportation timely...the trip was flawless with zero unexpected problems or delays. I spent 8 days on safari on the Eastern Cape at three lodges, all unique. My first lodge was River Bend Lodge. The guide there was knowledgeable about all species including birds and there were many. The best experience there was the elephants. The food there was gourmet and the service outstanding. My second lodge Kariega River Lodge had a traditional feel. The guide there went out of his way to please. The food was good. The setting beautiful. My favorite of the three was Pumba River Lodge. It was a "designer" lodge with an amazing room, unbeatable. However the main reason this was my favorite was the abundance of game....I saw all of the Big 5 and more. It was also a beautiful setting. I would like to commend Kiah for a flawless and wonderful trip. She went out of her way to meet my specific needs.

Best Vacation Ever, thanks to Go2Africa
When I started looking into booking our honeymoon to South Africa, I thought I'd be able to do it myself....I was very wrong. Not knowing anything about Africa, it's very difficult to plan a 2 week trip. I reached out to Go2Africa because a friend of mine used them and loved them...so happy I did!
Mary Keet was our contact, and she was outstanding. After speaking to her and going over with her what I'd already researched about the area, she made recommendations that were SPOT ON. Everything from the hotels at each stop, the safari, the shark dive operator, and literally every single meal - her recommendations were fabulous. She personally made all of the reservations - yes, including lunch and dinner every day - and made great recommendations for activities in-between. She even got us into some fantastic restaurants that, from what I understand, are booked several months out (Pot Luck club - amazing!).
Mary was awesome - great recommendations, very responsive, super patient - I couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you so much Mary for making our honeymoon perfect!!!

Thank you Go2Africa!!!
Sharon Kemp from Go2Africa was awesome! She is one of the friendliest people and her absolute love and passion for Africa is very clear. She seamlessly stepped us through everything, offered some terrific recommendations and answered every question (and there were many) without hesitation. Every detail was perfectly arranged and coordinated. It was so wonderful having to have the chance to meet Sharon during our time in Cape Town. Only problem our "once in a lifetime" trip exceeded our expectations as we are now planning our next visit. Thank you Sharon our trip went off beautifully. It could not have been better.

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!

25th Wedding Anniversary Bliss!
Go2Africa recently booked us a trip to Cape Town to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. They left no stone unturned and I would not hesitate to recommend them for any African trip. Go2Africa have arranged trips for us to Mozambique and they are professional and a pleasure to deal with.

Highly recommended for their professional service
Go2Africa did us proud once again. They arranged a ten day family holiday to the Medjumbe Island Resort in Mozambique. From our initial enquiry to our travels from start to finish, we could not fault their service.
Absolutely amazing experience
When I started planning my trip Uganda, I emailed different safari operators to find out more about the options offered in their webpages. The answer I got from Emma Hill from Go2Africa was fast, complete and very useful. I asked for further information and I always got back very complete answers about all my questions in many many emails. Go2africa made a tailor made itinerary that fit all my needs and demands.
My communication with Go2Africa was by email and it was very efficient. It was very easy to make the payments, and everything during the trip happened as planned. The attention from the local travel operator was exceptional, our guide was absolutely professional. All the lodges where we stayed fulfilled our expectations and we have absolutely no complaint about the trip.
