Who We Are
Our journey began with a simple yet powerful vision - To connect travellers with the true spirit of Southern Africa
Going North Tours is a proudly South African adventure tour operator specialising in guided 4x4, self-drive, overlanding and cultural travel experiences across Southern Africa. Officially registered in 2018 and guiding since 2006, we bring nearly two decades of hands-on experience to every journey we lead. We believe travel should be more than just visiting places — it should be about meaningful experiences, real connections and unforgettable moments in some of Africa’s most remarkable landscapes.

Our Story

Going North Tours was founded by Klippies Kritzinger and Johann Swart, both of whom are deeply passionate about adventure travel and responsible tourism. While Johann stepped back from daily operations in 2021 due to changing work commitments, he continues to play a valued support role within the business. Built on years of practical guiding experience, Going North Tours has grown into a trusted name for travellers seeking safe, well-planned and authentic adventures beyond the beaten path.
