Gonana Travel

GONANA is an isiZulu word meaning “EMBRACE” in South Africa. We design unforgettable travel experiences in Southern Africa for families, solo travellers, groups, wedding parties, golf groups and corporates who want to embrace Africa and get a taste of everything on offer. We are a boutique company which means that you are never a reference number, we get to know you personally before planning your trip. Our Founder, Jonas Sandström often leads tours in and around Cape Town and he works closely with the team to ensure that your trip runs smoothly. With 12 years in the industry, and our ear close to the ground as proud Cape Tonians, we know all the best places - from boutique hotels and restaurants to wine farms and cafes. We speak English, Swedish, isiZulu, Spanish, Afrikaans and German at our head office in Cape Town city and offer 24/7 service during your entire stay with us. All our destinations, activities and restaurants are places that we have personally seen, experienced and taken a liking to. We take you to those special places that locals only know about, which are not the most expensive but the most memorable and authentic. We tailor-make journeys and firmly believe in offering an intimate experience of culture and nature. We partner with top service providers and as far as possible choose those that are Fair Trade certified and run their business with sustainability close to their heart. We are also a proud LGBTQ company that works alongside inclusive organisations. Whether you are looking for a romantic honeymoon vacation, the ultimate safari experience, a local food experience, an extraordinary round of golf or luxury rail travel, Gonana will create a unique journey just for you. Welcome to Africa!
