Thoughtful, well organized and very thorough.
5/5

Hi, Karen and I left for a Touch Down tour of South Africa on September 29 and arrived back in the USA on October 17th. We contracted with Touch Down to save us the time and effort to organize a trip. We have been to 35 other countries and usually arranged our own tours. This time I decided to spend some money and save the effort. It was money worth every penny spent. Touch Down was thoughtful and well organized and every part of our trip went off like clockwork. Guides arrived when they were scheduled. Accommodations were beyond our expectations. Food was great. The best part was the wonderful service that everyone gave us on all parts of the trip. We could not have received better service nor been better treated. I highly recommend the staff and services of Touch Down for any trip that you want take. My wife described it as our "Trip of a Lifetime." John

5/5

Our tour to South Africa (10 day signature tour) was nothing but awesome. The accommodations for our safari at the private game lodge, Tshukudu were beautiful. The game drives were surreal and our game driver was so amazingly knowledgeable about the animals and their habitat. We were truly blown away and astonished. The food and service was great and the lodge personnel were so very polite and attentive.
The optional excursions were well worth the time and money. We especially enjoyed Robben Island and the Bo-Kaap Museum. I can't say
enough about how enjoyable this trip was. All of our tour guides ( Cape Town, Johannesburg and Victoria Falls) went out of their way to make our tour so meaningful and fun! Also providing us with an app to view our daily itinerary was a God-send. This is by far the best tour we've ever taken. It will be a cherished memory forever. I highly reccommend Go Touch Down.
Thank you "GO TOUCH DOWN.""

Fantastic Tour
5/5

My husband and I took the 10 Day Signature Adventure Tour. We were celebrating our 19th wedding anniversary. The Go Touch Down team acknowledge our special day at every accommodation. This company was so organized, I was really impressed with the level of detail and access to our trip itinerary. Everything went as planned and adjustments were communicated. Very reliable. The accommodations were great, and all of the activities planned maximized your visit.

The guides, drivers and other staff were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. The food was also very good! The value for the money matched the tour expectations. I would highly recommend this tour and Go Touch Down.

The Go Touch Down team certainly know how to showcase South Africa.
5/5

The whole Touch Down team made our recent trip to South Africa so perfect.
Everything ran like clockwork, there were no hidden costs and the signature safari package proved to be great value for money.

When we booked the holiday at the Travel Show in London, the team assured us it would be the holiday of a lifetime and it certainly did not disappoint. We enjoyed every minute.

Very knowledge and helpful
5/5

This was the most phenomenal trip I have ever taken I was given all options of different safaris, prices and all the information on all of them I was very happy with the help I was given in choosing my trip. I felt the price was great considering the trip and all that was included. The accommodations were great, the food was great and the game drives were out of this world. I would recommend go travel and this trip to everyone and I would go again in a heartbeat!

A great way to see and experience S Africa and Vic Falls
5/5

Our tour was well organized, interesting and fun. Morning and evening safaris were tiring, but led us to see the Big 5 and the Ugly 5. Time in Capetown was thoughtfully planned and we experienced emotional events that I did not anticipate such as the tour of Langa. Best of all were the people we met throughout the tours- the Guides, drivers, and Lodge staff were very friendly and helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone.

professional and thorough service
5/5

The tour staff and the staff at all of the restaurants and properties were top-notch with efficiency and professionalism. Everything was always on time and as expected. The food was always very good! The tour guides and the Safari guides were knowledgeable and friendly. All of the staff at the accommodations couldn't be more accommodating. The tour provided exactly what it offered. In its descriptions and itinerary.
as many others have stated I could've done more time in Cape Town especially since we were there during rainy season. I also would've liked to have seen more active experiences offered. Like biking, hiking, kayaking. I do understand that time was Limited. I've seen many beautiful places in the world. And had my breath taken away. Nowhere else in the world could I or did I experience safaris. this is what makes the travel all the way to Africa so worth it. It's an incredibly unique experience. Go touchdown tours did a fabulous job giving us this opportunity. we went on at least six different safaris. We saw all of the "big five"

They had everything covered in their planning, All I had to do was show up.
5/5

I took this trip Solo. Which for me was a long time coming. I wanted to see the animals in their own backyard. Figured if I didn't do it now since I am getting older I would never do it.
I researched this trip at a travel slow local to me 2 years go. I gathered all the information and talked to everyone. Then last year (2025) I visited the same travel show and confirmed what I had learned. Then I booked the trip. I took a leap of faith that I could do this and that Go Touchdown was the company to make it happen.
I was right. I made my own flight arrangements but I could have done it with their help. They did help me figure out when I would need to be there on time.
The night before I stayed in the hotel they arranged which was excellent and very easy to find, didn't even have to leave the airport to get to it!
The 2 lodges I stayed in on my trip were different but excellent. The staff at each one was friendly, helpful, did everything they could to make the trip easy. I wanted for nothing.
The game drives could not have been better. We saw animals on the first drive and on every drive after. It varied because they are wild and move around but there was an opportunity to see them every time.
I joined a group of other people, who I did not know, but we quickly became traveling friends. We rode around together, shared meals together and lived the same experiences. Once we got caught in the rain coming back to the lodge and had a great time laughing about it. We were soaked.
We saw all kinds of animals, including zebras, wildebeest, giraffes, elephants, cape buffalo, lions, leopard, Zazu the bird (think lion king movie), Warthogs (pumbaa) and Rhinos. Some were breathtakingly close (I never doubted our safety though).
The rangers who took us around were knowledgeable and fun to be with. They are excellent at backing up when needed and finding the best views to see all of the animals.
I took over 1000 photos and now have to download and go through them.
I wanted to stay longer. It was definitely worth going and I may do it again.
