You can easily do this with the form wizard of django-formtools. A simple example would be something like the following.

forms.py

from django import forms

class ContactForm1(forms.Form):
    subject = forms.CharField(max_length=100)
    sender = forms.EmailField()

class ContactForm2(forms.Form):
    message = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea)

views.py

from django.shortcuts import redirect
from formtools.wizard.views import SessionWizardView

class ContactWizard(SessionWizardView):
    def done(self, form_list, **kwargs):
        do_something_with_the_form_data(form_list)
        return redirect('/page-to-redirect-to-when-done/')

urls.py

from django.conf.urls import url

from forms import ContactForm1, ContactForm2
from views import ContactWizard

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^contact/$', ContactWizard.as_view([ContactForm1, ContactForm2])),
]
