      Four-day safari at the Kruger Shalati Train on the Bridge
      We spent four days (three nights) at the Kruger Shalati Train on the Bridge which included six safari drives (three in the morning and three in the afternnnon) into the Kruger National Park. Everything was very well organized and all communication with Go Safari before the trip was excellent, providing answers, tips and solutions to our various questions. The hotel was excellent, with plenty of opportunities to see the wild animals directly from the hotel (on the old railway bridge). The staff and the food was simply amazing and the safari drives were exceptional. We were never more than six people (and our guide) in a car and on two occasions it was just the two of us with our guide which made it very special. We observed pretty much every type of animal up close (including the big five of course) with a highly knowledgeable guide and we now have memories to last us a lifetime. We are extremely grateful to Glen and Go Safari for arranging this trip which has met and exceeded all our high expections for a luxury safari. Without a doubt I give my highest recommendations for Go Safari and we will definately use them again, if or when we decide to go on another African safari.

      Friendly and efficient tour facilitator
      Glen helped us book a once-in-a-lifetime mobile tented safari in Botswana, with the company "Bushways". He took care of all the liasing with Bushways, booked our flights to Maun, and went way beyond expectations in meeting us at Oliver Tambo airport when we first arrived in South Africa, and transporting us to and from the Oliver Tambo airport for our flights to and from Maun. He is kind, helpful and efficient! I highly recommend Glen if you would like help and advice in organizing a trip to Southern Africa.

      Sediba Mountain Lodge Family Safari
      We were a family party of 12 so we had the whole Mountain Lodge to ourselves. We were so well looked after by a great and very accommodating group of staff members. The food was exceptional and we had our own chef. The early morning and late afternoon game drives are what a stay in a game reserve is all about. Very highly recommended.

      Fantastic Experience
      Glen, our tour guide, was fantastic! He told us many stories and curiosities about South Africa and about the Safari animals. We were able to see many of them, it was like a dream. He was right on time to pick us up at the airport and drive us back. Susan was the one we dealt about all pre arrangements before arrival and she also helped us a lot. She´s a really kind person :) We´ll sure come back one day again!

      Perfect African vacation
      We spent two nights at the Black Rhino Lodge which included 4 safari drives into Pilanesberg National Park. Go Safari handled all the arrangements and it was amazing!!! The room/food and lodge were excellent. The drives and our guide were great. We saw all of the Big 5 animals and plenty of others as well. We could not have asked for anything better….Thank you Go Safari for making our vacation truly amazing!!!

      Memorable Stay at Tambuti Lodge
      Pick up from Oliver Tambo Airport was prompt and problem free. Glen was very informative and friendly, covering a range of interesting topics. We arrive at the Tambuti Lodge at 1pm. The staff at the Lodge were absolutely brilliant, catering for our every need. The two chefs were fantastic, serving very tasty and very well presented food for brunch, afternoon tea and dinner. There was an excellent choice of South African wines. Martin, the ranger, seemed to know where all the animals were hence we saw the big 5, and many more. We had four game drives, two nights stay and it was worth every rand spent. A truly memorable trip.

      Glen of Go Safari helped me booking my safari at Kruger. He has been present, always fast at answering, accomodating my needs and and finding solutions for my low budget. He was honestly concerned about my safety and experience in Johannesburg and Kruger. All went smoothly. Recommended!

      Fantastic service with a personal touch.
      A huge thank you to Susan and Glen for organising our safari experience. We had a wonderful time at Shepherds Tree Lodge made very straight forward thanks to the organisation of Go Safari. I was quite staggered to find out they're only a small team as the website, booking system, personal itineraries and level of communication is that of a company much bigger. They've really done a great job and you feel like you're in safe hands right from the first enquiry. We were fortunate enough to meet Susan and Glen and not only are they incredibly professional and knowledgeable about the Safari's and surrounding areas, but they are warm, friendly and down to Earth people. I'd happily recommend them and won't hesitate to use them again for my next adventure.

      South Africa Safari
      I have just returned from a 2 week trip to South Africa and used Go Safari again for the second time, last back in 2014. On both occasions Glenn handled everything for me and everything went smoothly from the bookings to the trip themselves, could not ask for a better company to handle my needs. Will be back as soon as I can but promise not to be another 9 years :-)

      Pilanesburg Safari with Go Safari
      This was a last minute booking and the team at Go Safari did brilliantly to secure an unforgettable trip to Pilanesburg staying at Pilanesburg Private Lodge. Glen picked us up from the hotel and drove us to the lodge, imparting lots of local knowledge along the way. The lodge itself was an amazing place, we were even greeted by two giraffe in the garden! The safari was fantastic and the overall experience was one I would definitely recommend.

    Go Safari exceeded our expectations. I've contracted with Glen in the past for day trips to Pilanesberg, and he handled our request for Kruger in a very professional manner. His guidance helped us choose the best experience for what we were looking for. Go Safari is very easy to work with and Glen is very responsive, especially on WhasApp. Glen was able to drive us out to Kruger from Joburg and in the process shared a great deal of the history of South Africa, and even the small towns we passed through. If I could rate Glen and Go Safari 6 out of 5, I would! Everything was well organized and flawlessly executed.

    It was incredibly easy to make a trip with Go Safari, especially during these covid times. I have no words to describe how well done their job was done, the communication through emails is very fluent, they have made a plan that has fit perfectly our requirements, even though we have changed the dates a few times. The lodge we have stayed in is absolutely outstanding, we got to see lots of animals and relax in such a beautiful environment. The staff was great.
    To conclude, there is probably not any better choice than traveling with Go Safari. They will make it really easy and enjoyable. 200% recommendable. I hope that we will be able to travel again in the future with you! Thanks so much for everything!

    Glenn arranged for us a very entertaining program tailored to our family consisting of 3 little kids (12, 10 and 6 years), my wife and me. We had a splendid time as a family, an experience they can never take away from us. We were well guided on the route to our first safari experience in Balule, on this route we visited Pilgrim's Rest, Lisbon Falls, God's Window, the 3 Roudavels on the Blyde River Canyon with the Blyde River dam. This nature is exceptional! The next days we focussed on the safari at Balule were we could get very close to 'the big five' thanks to the rangers and their game drive landrover. The stay at Mohabetsi lodge was fantastic, we were treated as kings! We continued the safari at Kruger Park where we stayed for 3 days. The game drives there were also splendid and showed us other landscapes, vegitations and animals. The stays ad the Satara Rest Camp and the Skukuza Rest Camp were very nice. The last days of our vacation we stayed at the marvellous Hippo Hollow Hotel in Hazyview. There we did some family activities as quad biking, a meet and greet with elephants, a visit to the reptile park and an amazing zip-line adventure. We had a great holiday in South-Africa thanks to Glenn and Go Safari, for that they deserve surely our recommendation !

    We had an exciting time, the trip was flawless, and the accommodations rom beginning to end was outstanding. Glenn and his team were attentive, and left nothing to chance with superb follow up each step of the way. We enjoyed Cape Town, Johannesburg, a Safari in Kruger National Park, (Got to see the Big 5!), and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. Each place we visited, people asked the same question, would you come back, --Yes we would, and would us Go Safari.

    Since organizing this experience, I have received good recommendations and excellent guidance from Glen. The Inyati Lodge, which was ultimately chosen for our experience, exceeded our expectations in terms of the facilities, the food, the treatment of the people, and the skill of our guides on the Glen and Deff Safari—highly recommended.

    It was an unforgettable experience: the game drives were super. We were lucky enough to see 2x the big five.
    The stay in the lodges was very pleasant, friendly welcome and good food.

    I've just returned to the UK from the most amazing trip to the Greater Kruger National Park. We saw almost every animal possible in their natural habitat, sadly the Leopard escaped us! Even more reason for a return visit. Our ranger Victor was extremely knowledgeable, we learnt so much (who knew you could tell which handed an Elephant was from looking at its tusks).

    We stayed at the Greenfire Lodge where we had Elephants visit us. I cannot wait to go back next year, i wouldn't change a thing.

    We had an absolutely amazing time doing the 4 day safari that Glen at Go Safari organised for us.
    We were a group of 4 adults and did 1 night on the train at Shalati, then 2 nights at Jocks Camp private game reserve.
    Everything went seamlessly, including all of our transfers which Glen arranged.
    He was super helpful in the planning and responded within 24 hours every time.
    I would highly recommend if you're looking to spend some time in Kruger, as it is an absolute minefield if you're looking on your own without any recommendations.
