From Survivor Sets to Stress-Free Sunsets: The Story of Go Adventure Travel
Our story didn’t start in a boardroom; it started on the rugged film sets of Survivor South Africa.
Founders Uwe and Linda first met in the Philippines in 2017, but it was during a 2019 season in Samoa and a subsequent cross-country road trip through the USA that the spark for Go Adventure Travel was truly ignited.
Between navigating misleading hotel ads, digging through thousands of emails for booking codes, and the chaos of missed flight connections, they realized something important: travel shouldn’t be a full-time job for the traveler. They began to dream of a service that stripped away the admin and left only the adventure.
They took a leap of faith, leaving the film industry to launch their vision—only for the world to shut down due to COVID-19 just two weeks later. But instead of walking away, they spent those two years fine-tuning every system, vetting every partner, and building the foundation of what they believed travel should be.
In 2022, Go Adventure Travel officially opened its doors. Today, we take the lessons learned from those dusty road trips and remote film sets to ensure that when you travel with us, your only job is to enjoy the journey. We’ve handled the "survivor" part so you don't have to!
