With deep knowledge of the regions we explore, we ensure to give you the right information and tools to make each journey both safe and unforgettable.
Our Mission
We launched the first version of Gotukio.com in the fall of 2023 after our own experience planning and booking a safari. Our goal was to make safari booking easy and transparent, primarily to solve our own problem. Through the feedback of our travelers and partners, this has evolved into a much more important mission: to change the way adventure travel is planned and booked, one destination at a time!
The Best Experiences for Our Travelers
We combine local knowledge with the use of technology and a passion for delivering the best traveler experiences in order to constantly improve our product and offering. Throughout our journey, we want to ensure we are providing the best experience to both our travelers, but also our partners who are the real heroes that make the best travel dreams possible.
Who is behind Gotukio.com
Our founder, Marina, spent years exploring the hidden corners of the world, places where nature remains wild and cultures thrive untouched by mass tourism. Marina also spent the first part of her career solving problems using technology. When she ventured through Africa, she realized that planning a safari wasn’t easy. She envisioned a platform that could offer the kind of meaningful, authentic experiences she sought, without the hassle of complex arrangements. She imagined a way to explore the world in a way that respected nature, celebrated local cultures, and offered true adventure, and so Gotukio.com was born.
Marina is building Gotukio.com with a simple idea: to offer the kind of safari experience she always wished she had—a platform that lets you design your journey, your way. Whether you’re looking for the thrill of a Big Five safari, a quiet retreat in nature, or an exploration of local cultures, Gotukio.com gives you the tools to plan and book your travels with ease and transparency.
