Pros and cons
Pros
- A single basket covers flights, hotels and packages, so the flight, stay, tour, car and transfer sit in a single plan.
- Support runs on email and phone, which suits travelers who would rather phone than type.
- Cancellation costs are spelled out as 50% of tour cost within 60 days; 100% within 29 days, so an early change is cheaper than a late change.
- The company behind a booking is named plainly: Gofan Safaris Limited, headquartered in Tanzania.
Cons
- No mobile app, so every booking and change happens on the site.
- The catalogue is flights, hotels and packages, with no rail or bus, so ground travel outside a car needs another operator.
- Support is limited to email and phone, with no live chat for in-trip questions.
Who it suits
- Families booking a Tanzanian safari who want the flight, stay, tour, car and transfer arranged together.
- Travelers who prefer to talk to a person on email and phone rather than manage a self-service app.
- Planners who commit early, since 50% of tour cost within 60 days; 100% within 29 days costs less the sooner a change is made.
Who should look elsewhere
- Rail and bus travelers: MoMo covers flights, rail and bus, which includes rail and bus.
- Travelers who only need a rental car or a transfer: Hertz Bahamas WiFi covers car rental and transfers on its own.
- Coach-only trips: FlixBus covers bus, and none of that appears in flights, hotels and packages.
How Gofan Safaris and Travel Africa compares
Frequently asked questions
What can I book on Gofan Safaris and Travel Africa?+
The catalogue covers flights, hotels and packages, so a family trip can be built from those parts rather than assembled supplier by supplier. The company taking the booking is Gofan Safaris Limited. Anything outside that list, such as rail or bus, needs another operator.
Who runs the site?+
Gofan Safaris and Travel Africa is operated by Gofan Safaris Limited, which is headquartered in Tanzania. Bookings, terms and contact details all sit with that company, and cancellation is governed by 50% of tour cost within 60 days; 100% within 29 days on its stated terms.
What does canceling cost?+
Cancellation is charged as 50% of tour cost within 60 days; 100% within 29 days, so the price of changing a plan rises as the start date nears. Booking early and settling details sooner keeps a change cheap, and a booking inside the shortest window carries the full cost.
How do I reach the booking team?+
Contact runs through email and phone, so a question before payment and a problem on the ground use the same route. Both channels are published by the company, Gofan Safaris Limited, which handles flights, hotels and packages on the same terms.
Is there an app to book from?+
There is no mobile app, so trips are planned on the site. Browsing, booking and changes happen on the same pages, and email and phone stays the route for help once a trip is under way.
Does it sell rail or bus tickets?+
Not as listed. The catalogue is flights, hotels and packages, and rail and bus sit outside it. Travelers who need those legs can add a separate specialist such as MoMo, which covers flights, rail and bus. Fares on the two sides sit apart, so compare the total before assuming a single basket.
How does it compare with a car or coach only service?+
A car-only or transfer-only booking is easier with Hertz Bahamas WiFi, which covers car rental and transfers. A coach trip is FlixBus territory with bus. Gofan is the fuller option, since flights, hotels and packages spans flights, stays, tours, cars and transfers.
Is it suited to a family group booking?+
Families are the core case: flights, hotels and packages covers the parts a group trip needs, from the flight in to the transfer out. email and phone gives a named route for questions from several travelers, and Gofan Safaris Limited is the company named on the booking.
