Working at Go2Africa

Join the Go2Africa Pride!

We pour care into what we do. It's the best way to deliver flawless, bucket-list African safari experiences to our clients. Our +25-year success story has been written by the experts on our team – our dedicated employees and the trusted partners who we collaborate with. Will you help us write the next chapter?

 

Go the extra mile. It's never crowded.

As a values-led, resilient business, we go above and beyond in all that we do. For this reason, we are industry-leaders, having won multiple awards and accolades since opening in 1998. We hire the best of the best – passionate individuals who are inspired to make a positive impact, and, of course, have lots of fun along the way!

 

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

We tailor-make our holidays to meet each client's personal needs; this guarantees a meaningful trip. We treat our employees in the same way. We see each Go2African as an individual and aim to deliver an employee experience that lays a foundation for a long and rewarding career. After all, it takes a special team to create the life-changing experiences that we do!

 

Our Pride is our priority

We value every one of our  +120 employees. It's the reason why many of them have worked for us for over 10 years. When you join us, we will provide:

 

⏰ Flexible working
Our Hybrid Work Model offers the best of both worlds. Employees work 1 day per week in the Go2Africa office, based at the beautiful V&A Waterfront in Cape Town. Go2Africans have the flexibility to work from home for the rest of the week. Of course, our door is always open to those who prefer to work in-office more frequently.

 

🧳 Travel opportunities
We encourage our employees to visit the destinations we sell. We offer many opportunities to travel in the form of curated Educationals, site inspections, or discounted holidays at agent rates! Ts & Cs apply!

 

🏆 Reward and recognition
We recognize our employees based on targets, but also values. Our annual Recognition Awards are an example – colleagues vote for their peers, and there are incredible travel prizes up for grabs (plus, a good old party!)

 

🍃 Wellbeing and ample downtime
We prioritise the wellbeing of our employees. We provide wellness campaigns, mental health support and coaching, plus substantial leave benefits. We know it all lies in finding a balance between work and play.

 

🎉 Vibrant Culture
Our employees are #proudlyGo2African, and we use any excuse to celebrate our shared success. Whether it's monthly Townhalls, interactive team buildings, our operational structure itself, or Valentine's Day – it's always better when we're together!

 

🎓 Training and development
We offer comprehensive training programmes and opportunities for growth. From destination training in East Africa to designing Personal Development Plans, we support our employees to succeed.

 

💻 World-class tech
We work on industry-pioneering systems, ensuring that the travel planning process is seamless. We give our employees access to world-class resources, which allows them to spend time on what really matters.

    I've been with Go2Africa since 2017 and have experienced nothing but a company that cares deeply for its employees. Even when times were tough and we had to navigate the stormy seas of COVID-19, Go2Africa remained steadfastly committed to ensuring that everyone felt safe and secure. I've been fortunate enough to have travelled with Go2Africa to incredible destinations like Botswana, Tanzania, Kenya, Zambia and Zimbabwe. I've been given opportunities to grow and develop my role within the Marketing team and have always felt supported and valued within a company that puts its culture first.

    Go2Africa is an ever-changing and growing company that is always striving to move upwards. They are driven to retain great employees and are forward-thinking in the space of employee needs. I enjoy the hybrid working environment as it suits my lifestyle. The culture and people you meet are amazing. I have made lifelong friendships in my workspace. The fast-paced environment keeps you on your toes and pushes you to want to do better. If you like what you do and are passionate about it, then Go2africa is the place to be. I have entered my 18th year at Go2africa and still going!

    I started with Go2Africa in 2008! Amazing friendships have blossomed through the mutual love of travel. My closest friends have emerged from working with likeminded, driven, goal orientated colleagues. Despite many job offers over the past decade, there is no place I would rather be than where I am. We have a supportive system and open communication with our Leadership team, which means that support is always there when you need it!

    I have been working at Go2Africa since 2011 and truly love working here. I have been granted so many opportunities! The first time I flew in an airplane was when I went for an Educational to Sun City and surroundings. Since then, I have had the privilege of travelling to not only Sun City, but to Victoria Falls, the Lower Zambezi, Chobe National Park, Kruger, Madikwe, Pilanesberg, and many other amazing places. The connections I have made here are long-lasting and like the 1980's TV show, Cheers, “You want to go where everyone knows your name” and that is Go2Africa. No role is too small to be acknowledged and I truly feel valued as a Go2African.

    From the day that I started at Go2Africa – almost 12 years ago - I have felt like I was a part of a family. The people, the energy, the enthusiasm and mostly, the passion for Africa travel that everyone has is inspiring. The support and team dynamic and diverse culture makes it such an enjoyable place to work. Not only is the team and working environment so incredible, but the travel opportunities also that we are given is unbelievable. Having travelled to some of the most incredible places in Africa, including Botswana, Victoria Falls, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique and Mauritius – not only has it given me the best memories imaginable, but the knowledge and experience gained from those trips, has been invaluable.
