GOGE AFRICA TOURS: Goge Africa conducts inbound tours in Africa, bringing tourists from outside the continent into Africa, and taking them around Africa on guided trips; liaising with governments, leading airlines, transport companies, hotels, resorts, etc.

GOGE AFRICA FOUNDATION (GAF) was established in 2004 by the founders and producers of the award winning culture and tourism TV programme - GOGE AFRICA. It is an educational foundation that also teaches African youths the history and heritage of our continent while creating awareness about social ills like AIDS, child abuse/trafficking etc. and catering to the needs of the less privileged in the society. Through the foundation, we hope to empower the youths of Africa towards building and sustaining a strong economy for our continent.

A look forward: Goge Africa aims to further expand its network through the ‘Goge Goes Global’ (triple G) project coming up under the premise that Goge Africa opens a window to the varied cultures of the world to its African viewers and provide the world a perspective of Africa from African worldview, thereby promoting peace, cooperation and integration while developing diverse channels for tourism, communications, trade, commerce and economic development worldwide.

MISSION STATEMENT
We want to remain a quality brand that educates, entertains, informs and impacts positively on our viewers and clients thereby becoming a household name by the year 2009

OUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE
To articulate Africa and to tell the true African story from an African perspective. We do this with the hope that the world will get to know us (Africans) and respect us for who we really are.

THE NEED FOR GOGE AFRICA
Goge Africa started in 1998 as an agitative reaction to stereotypes and wrong perception of Africa/African culture by the rest of the world. Goge Africa, a window into Africa - is a direct connection between traditional African cultural society and its influence on contemporary African society. At some time in the not-too-distant-past, 75percent of programme contents of most African TV stations were Western-oriented, with little features on indigenous African music and culture. Hence, Goge Africa is designed as an avenue through which the world gets to know more about the different peoples and places of Africa and the Diaspora.
