Why Golilo?
An insider’s expertise
Golilo is an African company. When you book through us you get instant access to our local knowledge, insights and on-the-ground support. We’ll show you the hidden hotspots and help you separate the overrated from the understated gems. You’ll get introduced to our exclusive network of experts from winemakers to safari guides, wildlife researchers and more—making sure you come away with inspiring stories no one else can tell.
Unreasonably excellent service
There is a reason most of our business comes from returning guests or referrals. Once travellers experience Golilo’s brand of hospitality, there is no going back. We are trusted, responsive and highly-skilled travel experts who offer support throughout your journey. The great relationships we foster with our suppliers (from lodges to activity providers to transfer companies) mean you’re taken care of wherever you go. No request is too big or small, and we work hard to ensure every moment is perfect.
We do the work.
You do the wanderlust.
Holidays should be stress and admin free. That’s why we do all the planning for you from start to finish including flight bookings and check-ins, accommodation, activities and restaurant reservations. Beyond that, we’ll also equip you with helpful information like weather reports and tipping guidelines, visa requirements, packing lists and even the top coffee spots. Your only job is to take photos and make memories—we’ve got the rest covered.
Enriching experiences
We know that the best parts of a holiday are the unplanned, delightful surprises. At Golilo we craft these unforgettable moments into your itinerary. Our goal is to make the serendipitous standard and we focus on providing you with one-of-a-kind experiences. From rhino notching to a canyon helicopter flip or a private tour with an award-winning winemaker; your travel bucket list is in good hands.
Personal touch
We form a meaningful relationship with each guest and get as excited as you about your travels. Every trip is individually crafted around your distinct tastes. We consider your preferences when reserving your room, and arrange a quality safari guide based on your interests. We are genuine, friendly, attentive and believe that the real magic lies in the details. That’s why we also like to surprise our guests with special, personalised extras to welcome you to our home.
Independent
We don’t own any lodges and aren’t affiliated to a safari company. That means we are free to base our recommendations purely on what is right for you. We compare and vet all options from a curated collection of luxury suppliers and only work with partners that meet our high standards.
Sustainable
We care deeply about conservation and responsible travel. We only work with partners who are committed to sustainability through initiatives like eco-friendly practices, community upliftment, or efforts to protect and preserve natural habitats and the precious animals that live there. If you have a particular interest in charity or conservation projects, we’d love to help you get involved.
