On our Travel Tales blog, we love sharing your incredible adventures, and we’ve talked about why we pour our hearts into every booking. But have you ever wondered what actually happens before you step onto that plane? What does it take to transform a whispered wish – “I want to see elephants!” or “We need a truly romantic escape!” – into a seamless, unforgettable journey? As agents at Go…

Hey everyone! At Go Adventure, we started with a simple, yet powerful passion: to help people achieve what often feels impossible. If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve worked with Monica before. Some of you even affectionately refer to her as “Monica Magic.” And trust us, even this particular situation had Monica’s heart skip a beat or two. We absolutely thrive on a good client…

A South African living in the UK

Linda Auer — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 16:09:48 +0000

What my husband literally said to me the other day; “You can take me out of South Africa but you cannot take the South African out of me.” As grateful as we are to have had the opportunity to immigrate and to set up our new lives living here in England, we will not be able to accept the fact that lunch is called dinner and dinner is called tea. Naartjies don’t exist, circles are referred to…

Travelling with a friend

Linda Auer — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 16:09:45 +0000

Have you ever been on a road trip with your best friend? I mean a proper road trip, not just a quick weekend away. Over the past 6 months I’ve been on the most incredible adventure with my best friend. Even though I felt like there’s nothing I don’t know about him, this road trip definitely ensured that we know everything there is to know about each other. When we think about a road trip…

Travelling abroad with a mental illness

Linda Auer — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 16:09:43 +0000

Why is this not a topic that’s discussed more often? Mental health has definitely become a bigger topic than it used to be, however we still don’t really talk about it as often as we do about other disabilities. Do you want to know what question gets me every time? “How can you feel depressed when you’re on holiday?” People, you do know that depression isn’t a choice, right? You don’t just…

Travelling abroad with a child

Linda Auer — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 16:09:40 +0000

Travelling abroad in itself requires a lot of energy and patience, and when you factor in a child, it requires a whole lot more plus a couple glasses of complementary aeroplane wine courtesy of that good old drinks trolly. Let’s take a moment to thank the person who thought of placing TV’s on the back of every aeroplane seat. Even if you aren’t all pro technology for your kids…

Camping 2023 – Koningskop Campsite

Linda Auer — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 15:24:16 +0000

We recently had the pleasure of visiting the Koningskop campsite in the beautiful Western Cape near Citrusdal. Linda and I, along with our 1-year-old daughter, Olivia, went on a 3-night adventure with our friends Andrew and Zelni. As we approached the campsite, I couldn’t help but marvel at the breathtaking views of the towering mountains and rolling hills. Andrew and Zelni had…

Western Cape road trip | Day 5

Linda Auer — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 15:24:15 +0000

Linda, Olivia and I were up early again. We were very keen to explore the area so we put our hiking shoes on and sat Olivia in the backpack and off we went to find a hiking trail. However, due to heavy rainfall in the area over recently, the path that led to the trails was now a swamp. We weren’t about getting our shoes muddy on this occasion. So instead we opted to walk around the Karoo Bush Camp…

Western Cape Road-trip | Day 6 & 7 | Bontebok

Uwe Auer — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 14:48:40 +0000

Finally a chill day! No rushing to pack up our camp site, no driving on dirt roads for hours (although this is very fun, it’s nice to take a break). And it was BOILING hot! Linda, Olivia and I spent most of our time in the shade of Wayne and Kristin’s wrap around awning. Man, that thing is lekker. I am very jealous. I was also very jealous of everyone’s fridges… I would do bad things for an ice…

Western Cape Road-trip | Day 4 | Knysna to Van Wyksdorp

Uwe Auer — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 14:48:29 +0000

The boys on top of Rooiberg Pass This morning we woke up refreshed, ready to hit the road again and make our way across to Van Wyksdorp. About 100 meters from our stand, there is a river from a small dam running across the road. The sun was already up, and Unardo had been trying to convince people to get in the water and swim for a bit. Eventually I caved in, and I am glad I did.
