Travel Stories

We went for 10 days to South Africa and they planned our whole trip. From hotels, Safari, domestic flights to rental cars and how to drive back from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town with overnight stays. Could never have done this amazing trip without their expertise and insights. One of our best travel experiences ever!

Gonana Travel hjälpte oss att förbereda och planera vår första resa till Kapstaden och Sydafrika. Allt på högsta proffesionella nivå. Allt från hotell, restauranger och diverse utflykter. Finns inget att klaga på överhuvudtaget. Endast att 3 veckor gick alldeles för fort. Stort tack till er för att ni gjorde vår resa så minnesvärd.
