Go2Africa Is Multi-Award Winning!

Our wealth of experience and first-hand knowledge of African safari travel have seen us get nominated for and win several prestigious awards over the years. These awards establish us as industry leaders, and we are honoured to receive recognition for being an authority on travel to Africa – while at the same time contributing to the upliftment of communities and vital wildlife conservation efforts.

Whether our clients wish to traverse the open plains of the Serengeti, explore the magical waterways of the Okavango Delta, or have thrilling encounters with beautiful and wild creatures, we understand exactly what it takes to make every trip to Africa an unforgettable one.

Here are some of the most recent awards we’ve won:

In July 2023 we were recognised as one of the ‘World’s Best Safari Outfitters in 2023’ for the second time in a row – taking our total amount of wins to three. Our expertise in arranging top-notch African travel experiences has far outweighed our travellers’ expectations.
