Efficient & reliable travel agency for Africa
Though based in South Africa, the agency was able to organize a very good three-day trip of the Sossusvlei area in Namibia for us. Deline of the agency provided prompt follow-up and confirmation. The tour price was reasonable and we were very satisfied with the quality of the tour and accommodation arrangements.

An Excellent Desert Experience
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Namibia Desert tour in December 2023, and it was an unforgettable adventure. The highlight of the tour for me was undoubtedly the Deadvlei, which is truly remarkable and unlike anything I've ever seen. The landscape is otherworldly, with vast stretches of sand dunes that create a surreal and breathtaking panorama.
Our stay at the Namib Naukloft Lodge was equally impressive. The lodge offers excellent value for money, with comfortable accommodations, friendly staff, and delicious meals that perfectly complemented our desert exploration. The serene setting and thoughtful amenities provided a perfect retreat after long days of adventure. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to experience the raw beauty and unique charm of Namibia’s desert landscape.

best tour if you're short on time
Overall the this was more on the expensive side compared to the other tours we did in Africa, we paid extra for a pickup from the airport as well. Obviously there are a few intermediaries involved. The tour itself was good as it included all the key touristy destinations that we wanted to visit given the limited time we were in Namibia. Accommodation was great with all inclusive meals. Communication before the tour was great and reliable. Tour guide was excellent, explained the significance of the places and any questions we had. The safari vehicle was comfortable given the rough roads we had to take and we had plenty of water to keep us hydrated.

Responsive, information, sometimes forgetful
They were very responsive during their work hours (which can be found online). They were happy to answer any questions I had. Occasionally there were some issues on paperwork such as dates were incorrect or they missed adding something to the voucher for the safari but when I caught it, it would get corrected very quickly. So pay attention, both otherwise lovely people to work with.
A very helping operator who are always willing to attend to any problem that comes your way.
Annelie is very reliable and never in the seven times she organized our tour had she failed in any way. Everything went as promised. On our last trip we wanted to stay longer. In a very short time our flights and transfers were changed.
Her quote is always very good. A friend of mine never used her before and i told him about her. She cut the quote of the operator that he worked
trough for a number of years with a nice amount. She is always available on whatsapp. We left on 4 January stayed in Bankok for four days then Pattaya for four days and Phuket for five days witch we extended to ten she arranged the change of flights in a short time. I would recommend her to anyone even if you already have a quote try her also for a quote.

Super helpful, proffessional and knowledgeable
From beginning to end it was such a pleasure to work with Annelie. She was always helpful, quick to respond with very helpful feedback and a delight to deal with. She planned the perfect trip for us and everything ran so smoothly I still can't believe how easy the whole process was. The entire trip was such good value for money. Thanks so much Getaway Africa. Would definitely (and have already) recommended them to others.

Thank you to Annelie and your team from Getaway Africa for providing my parents and I with such excellent service. Everything was well organized, we had an amazing trip to suncity because of you and I would also like to commend Luvo on his excellent service from getting us to the airport to suncity safely . Annelie and Luvo are both friendly, bubbly and extremely well versed in their respective skills. I highly recommend Getaway Africa , will definitely use you guys again for future trips. They are extremely reliable and really go the extra mile with their prompt, effficient and friendly service. Thank you guys once again.

Zanzibar - Last Minute!!
We gave Gerdie 72 hrs to arrange a trip to Zanzibar, for 3 people, in PEAK season, and we insisted on a particular side of the island. Somehow...he pulled it off :) We stayed at the beautiful Double Tree Hilton, in Nungwi. The desperately needed R&R was achieved...all thanks to the amazing service from Gerdie and Getaway Africa. I cannot recommend them enough.
