Who we are

A vision born
from wanderlust

Goni Travel was founded in 2005 by Ms Lebo Kganticoe, an IMM graduate and proud black South African entrepreneur. Two decades later the agency serves corporate accounts, government departments and leisure travellers across South Africa and the world, with the same idea behind every booking: the trip should be built around the traveller, not the other way round.

"Travel is a profound and transformative experience that enriches lives and broadens horizons. At Goni Travel we craft bespoke experiences that resonate with your unique passions and aspirations."

Where we will take you

Every continent,
every dream

Five of the routes we book most often. If your destination is not here, it is still very much on the map.

What we do

Full spectrum
travel services

Whether you manage a travel budget for a department or you are planning the holiday you have saved five years for, the same consultants handle it end to end.

Corporate travel management

Flights, accommodation, transfers, visas and policy compliance for teams on the move. Consolidated invoicing and reporting on request.

Leisure and holiday packages

Tailor made itineraries built around what you actually enjoy, whether that is beaches, cities, food or nothing at all for ten days.

African safari experiences

Handpicked reserves and private lodges across Southern and East Africa, with guides we have used ourselves and trust.

Handpicked accommodation

From small guesthouses to five star resorts. We match the stay to your style and your budget, not to whoever pays the biggest commission.

Cruise and group travel

MSC and international cruises, incentive trips, conferences and family groups, coordinated down to the seating plan.

Responsible tourism

We favour operators and lodges that employ locally and tread lightly, so the places you visit are still worth visiting in ten years.

Why Goni Travel

The Goni difference

  • 01

    People who have been there

    Two decades of corporate and leisure bookings, with destination knowledge and supplier access that a booking engine cannot give you.

  • 02

    Everything in writing

    We work on signed agreements. Every service, price and cancellation term is set out before you pay a cent. No surprises later.

  • 03

    Built around you

    No cookie cutter tours. Your interests, your pace, your budget, your dates. That is the whole point of using an agent.

  • 04

    Reachable while you travel

    Flight cancelled at midnight, hotel lost your booking, passport gone. One number, a real person, any hour of the day.

Long standing clients

Relationships measured
in years, not bookings

Anyone can win a booking. The harder test is whether the client is still with you a decade later, after changes of leadership, tighter budgets and two years in which the industry stopped moving altogether. These are organisations that have travelled with Goni Travel through all of it.
