About Us
Welcome
Go2southafrica.com is a specialized site, owned by an ex South African.
I have been a South African Tourist Board FUNDI destination specialist from the first program( its in its second incarnation at present) ...
I travel back at least once a year, sometimes twice a year to South Africa to keep updated, do educationals, attend a travel show, and of course to relax and enjoy the country.
For those travellers who prefer to travel in luxury we have a special site for luxury travel:
The owner of this site, Stephen , also owns Rogue Travel in Ashland and Medford Oregon.
Rogue Travel is a ARC certified agency, incorporated in Oregon, and has the neccessary licences from the City of Ashland and Medford, as well as the ability to issue airline tickets( need to have a surety bond and be certified in order to do this)
This site is dedicated to a wonderful country, a resilient people, and to sustainable tourism.
As such we use mostly tour operators who are in South Africa, thereby helping to provide employment opportunities to locals. In return we obtain local updates, insights, special rates, unique packages, and we know you will be taken care of. In times of emergency, you have some one local to help and guide you.
We offer custom designed packages for Singles, Couples, Families, Groups, and Incentive Travel.
What we offer, is more than just a brochure? We design your trip according to your needs, wants, budget, lifestyle and vacation time.
You can use one of our pre planned itineraries or we can piece small trips together to create your own dream vacation, no problem. As we cover all the areas of South Africa offer, we can be creative as we are not set to any type of tour other than what you want, so for different options to some of these areas e.g. for the Garden Route, we offer Sel Drive, Set Deaprtures, Private guided tours, soft adventure i.e. surfing, hiking, walking ie Cape Town walking trails, rappelling, diving, etc.) and Inland Scenic drive itineraries.
We purposely do not have rates on our site as rates change with seasons, availability, contracts change, etc. We like to quote updated prices. Just ask us.
We offer discounted rates for lodging from Luxury to Moderate Hotel, to B and B’S, Guest houses, Cape Town House , Villa and Apartments renals.We have a link on our home page for Travel Specials ie free nights, 2 for 1 deals, etc.
South Africa Cultural tours are tours that go to the Eastern Cape, where Nelson Mandela and Steve Biko was born, rural villages, tradiitons, people to people contact, local western style lodging, and we offer Cultural tours to Venda, art, crafts, rural villages, traditions,close to Botswana Tuli block, close to the Kruger National Park..both privately guided.
For USA residents only, we offer Discounted Air into South Africa. For Internal South Africa travel, we offer discounted Air to all of our travelers.
We have included some other add on packages that fit into a South African trip i.e. Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, Namibia, Seychelles, Mozambique, and some soft adventure like eco kayaking in Madagascar, and on Lake Malawi.
I look forward to creating your South Africa Travel package...please
