Exploring Victoria Falls

Colette Van Zyl

Africa Safari Expert

I am a South African born and bred as well as a very proud Go2African since 2024! I have lived in the African bush for part of my career, where I got meet some guests that stayed in the lodges I worked for, and now I get to plan their dream holiday.

Soulful Safari Reflection

My ‘set your soul on fire' moment was when I was working at one of the lodges in the Timbavati and one night a leopard decided to walk through camp as guests were about to be escorted back to their room at night.

Most Memorable Experience Organised for a Client

The best experience I have organised for a guest is setting up a beautiful area in the Timbavati Game Reserve and for an engagement to happen. The guests were forever thankful!

My Best African Travel Advice

Sit back and enjoy your game drives, you might see the unexpected. Never settle for a ‘Ferrari Safari' anywhere in Africa.
