GO SAfari - Accreditation
Design your dream safari and we will help you make it a reality
We are here to serve you to the best of our ability, and to this end know that you require some kind of indication that who yoiu are dealing with has some kind of credibility. So, what really matters to you in a case like this?
What really matters
Besides being passionate about what we do at GO SAfari, we know that this is not always enough. So we have become members of the South African Tourism Services Association, SATSA, who govern the industry and make sure that there are standards and policies adhered to, which in turn converts to your peace of mind. Not only that, should you feel for whatever reason we have not lived up to our reputation or your expectations, you can always communicate this to them who in turn will straighten us out as members. Gladly, this has never happened to us (and we trust that it never will :-)
We are proud members of SATSA and Glen is on the Gauteng SATSA committee.
