Discover the Richness of Kenya's Natural Beauty

Embarking on custom travel packages to Kenya offers the chance to explore a kaleidoscope of natural wonders. The Maasai Mara National Reserve, famed for its annual Great Migration, is a must-see for nature enthusiasts. Here, you can witness thousands of wildebeest and zebras cross the crocodile-infested Mara River, a spectacle that epitomizes the raw beauty of Africa. For a more tranquil yet equally spellbinding experience, visit Lake Nakuru. Famed for its flocks of pink flamingos, it offers serene landscapes and rich birdlife.

Cultural Immersions and Historical Insights

The soul of Kenya resides in its people. Engage in authentic cultural interactions with the Maasai tribe, known for their distinctive customs and vibrant attire. Exploring Kenya travel packages that include these cultural exchanges can deepen your understanding of traditional lifestyle and community spirit. Meanwhile, a visit to the historic island of Lamu immerses travellers in Swahili culture, with its narrow winding streets, centuries-old architecture, and bustling markets. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, Lamu offers insight into Kenya's rich historical tapestry.

Savour the Flavours of Kenyan Cuisine

Kenya's culinary scene is as diverse as its landscapes. Delight your taste buds with classic dishes such as nyama choma (grilled meat) and ugali (a maize-based staple). The coastal region introduces you to Swahili-inspired dishes like coconut-infused curries and fresh seafood. Custom holiday trips to Kenya often include culinary experiences that showcase these delightful flavours, allowing you to relish the country's diverse gastronomic offerings.

For thrill-seekers, custom travel packages to Kenya provide opportunities for heart-pounding adventures. Scale the heights of Mount Kenya for an exhilarating hiking experience, where the crisp mountain air and panoramic views are your ultimate reward.

I wouldn’t recommend self-driving as Kenya’s roads can be tricky, and they drive on the left side, which can confuse visitors used to North American systems

Bijal and Martin (tour guide in Kenya) made this the trip of a lifetime. I felt safe every minute of the trip. I did not care for the travel from the Serengeti to Ngorogoro Crater. I felt the last hotel was too far from the crater i was exhausted not wanted to travel to the crater. The travel was absolutely brutal for 6 hoursKathie Becker

Our safari in Tanzania was excellent. Brooke Theron, our Goway representative, was easy to work with, responsive and knowledgeable. Our guide in Tanzania, Anwar Razak, was outstanding. His knowledge and his driving ability was impressive. He was also engaging. We enjoyed our time with Anwar. The camps that Goway recommended were comfortable, welcoming and surprisingly luxurious while capturing the essence of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We had a wonderful trip. Jack B.

I am so happy to use Goway for my tour experience while visiting Vietnam during Oct 15 through October 29, 2026. We had 3 very good, thoughtful, and caring guides in Hanoi, Danang, and Ho Chi Minh City. They were very knowledgeable for each of their respective areas. they all fulfilled every part of our itinerary. I wish to give an extra acknowledgment to my guide in Danang and Hoi An. Mr. Phung Van Hung was very friendly and caring for me. During my stay in Hoi An, I became sick and required a visit to the local hospital in Hoi An. I contacted Mr. Phung, and he graciously offered to take me and stay with me to interpret during my visit for medical care even though he was not working that day. I really appreciate his extra above and beyond service he provided. I really must let Goway know, he is a wonderful guide!George C.

Suzzette and her team provided exceptional support throughout our year‑long planning process for our Bali group. Despite multiple changes, updates, and last‑minute cancellations, she remained organized, responsive, and solution‑focused. Asia Trails Indonesia delivered a seamless experience from arrival to departure, and our guides, Dayu and Adit, were outstanding; prompt, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. The coordination across multiple departure cities, the curated excursions, and the overall flow of the itinerary were executed beautifully. My group thoroughly enjoyed the trip and is already asking about returning. I highly recommend Suzzette as a group coordinator for her professionalism, dedication, and high‑quality service.Anchored Memories Travel

Mike K. graciously provided us with a perfect itinerary, offering us flexible high quality options for our trip. We added in a few complex details and he maneuvered around them creating smooth transitions. Planning an overseas 11 day trip can be overwhelming and Mike made everything feel easy. I highly recommend!Amy Challgren

Goway staff was available to us throughout our entire trip to Costa Rica. Their involvement was seamless and surprisingly smooth between them and all of our hotels and tours. We have been totally impressed with their involvement with our travel agent and their complete resolution of the only problem we had during the 2 different international trips that we have taken.Diana McCrory

Thank you to Goway for a great and enjoyable 7 day tour in China, for our Canadian group of 14! Very special thanks to the local guides in Shanghai, Xi’an and Beijing ( Richard, Richard and James) who were second to none! Each was a knowledgeable ambassador for their home city, working hard to ensure our enjoyment and comfort, and to showcase the beauty of each area and its current and historical sites. They very kindly and patiently assisted everyone, and especially accommodated 2 of our group who encountered unexpected wellness challenges. The local bus drivers for our group were experts too, keeping us on time and safe on the roads and highways. Hotels were beautiful, welcoming, well located and appointed, quiet, comfortable and clean. Additional travel arrangements by air and high speed train went off without a hitch. KATHLEEN LLOYD

This was the first time we used Goway Travel and Brooke Theron was absolutely the best to deal with. Our safari in Africa was fabulous and we were able to have all four questions answered before we left. It was a trip to remember and we would recommend both Brooke and Goway to other who are looking for a great experience. Thanks Brooke and Goway.Joyce Robinson
