About Go2Africa

Online and in business since 1998, Go2Africa has developed a comprehensive travel service and online travel guide for South Africa, Southern Africa, East Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands.

Booking with us doesn't just mean we reserve your place on a safari: we tailor-make all vacations from door to door, courier your itinerary and vouchers to you and send you one easy-to-pay invoice.

Your holiday is the end result of a team effort. You know what you want and when; our Africa Safari Travel Experts assess your needs and put together a tailormade package based on the operators, accommodation and activities that we are confident in recommending to you.

We believe Go2Africa offers you the most complete, informed and convenient way to arrange a truly memorable African travel experience, making Go2Africa stand out from the other travel companies out there.

Our History & Vision

So how did we get to where we are? Go2Africa is the brainchild of Mark Preyer, who blazed a trail on the web in the mid-90s when the online travel industry barely existed. With a background in IT and business, Mark saw the potential of the web for travellers and set up Go2Africa in 1998.

His instinct proved right and the company quickly grew. In 2004, Joanne Dickson joined us as the managing director and fellow shareholder, a dynamic addition that has contributed to our constant growth. Today we can proudly say we are a leader in Africa safari travel.

Our vision is simple: to be the world's number one online travel community as well as the most trusted and sought-after Africa travel expert.

Independence & Integrity

Go2Africa is an independent and privately owned company. This gives us the luxury of doing things a little differently in our quest to become the most trusted and sought-after Africa travel expert.

Our teams of product developers, travel writers, and Africa Safari Travel Experts travel to all of our key destinations in South Africa, Southern Africa, East Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands regularly experiencing the hotels, lodges and excursions - and making sure they are up to scratch.

We only feature tours and accommodations we can truthfully recommend, and we only enter into partnerships with suppliers we believe in.

Community & Communication

Travel is all about what you enjoy; everyone's experiences and opinions make it richer - and we want to engage in conversation with you about your trips.

We don't believe our, or any one travel company agent's, opinion is sufficient which is why we encourage and receive traveller feedback and use it in our consultations. We want to put together travel experiences you will fondly remember for the rest of your life; experiences that far surpass the adequate, stopping nothing short of the sublime.

We truly value travel forum conversation so every member of our community is encouraged to have their say - good or bad - in a public forum. We know this can only benefit Go2Africa, travellers and the travel industry. For totally independent feedback, visit Fodors and Trip Advisor - search these sites for "Go2Africa" and you will be impressed with the feedback.
