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.

Adventurous Escapades Under the African Sky

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. Alternatively, dive into deep-sea fishing in the azure waters of the Indian Ocean or embark on a hot air balloon safari over the Maasai Mara at sunrise for a unique perspective of the wildlife below.

Practical Travel Tips for an Unforgettable Visit

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

Allan Birkett at Goway has been an absolute godsend! Over the past year, he has helped me plan numerous vacations—especially honeymoons—and has been an incredible partner every step of the way. He is always quick to respond, patient with my clients' frequent changes, and goes above and beyond to help whenever an issue comes up. His knowledge, professionalism, and dedication make my job as a travel advisor so much easier. I truly appreciate everything Allan does and highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional service. Thank you, Allan, for always being thereBrooke Echols

Our 2-week trip to Normandy, Switzerland and Italy after we disembarked from the Queen Mary 2 in Southampton in mid-May was superb. Michael Keon did an amazing job of putting together highlights for us to see and visit with the short time we had. All the train reservations, private and small group tours and transportations were very well coordinated, on time, and usually exceeded our expectations. Drivers were courteous and knowledgeable. Mike did a wonderful job getting everything coordinated, in spite of our almost “last minute” booking. I booked a month-long trip through GOWAY back in 1989 for Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, and they were superb then. So I tried them again, and found the entire organization to be even better. Mike was quick to respond to any questions that came up regarding booksings and times, regardless of the 6-hour time difference. Just superb! Although we had a nasty experience in Milan, GOWAY was very responsive and saw to our requests and our needs. Again, Michael Keon is the person who coordinated our travel. I will ask for Mike when I travel again with GOWAY. I recommend GOWAY highly. PJ Wheeler

Goway helped plan our two week trip to Peru and they (Virginia in particular) did a great job. The on-site logistics with Condor Travel went very smoothly, and the trip exceeded our expectations overall. They proactively suggested changes to our initial itinerary which were welcomed. I would recommend them and would work with them again in the future.Kate O'Neill

I recently went on an African Safari with my brother-in-law and sister and another couple who I knew. The entire experience was absolutely unbelievable. The complete details were flawlessly coordinated from the transfers to the breathtaking lodges. Our guides Peter showed us Kenya and Maulid Tanzania were very knowledgeable and very sharp eyes for finding the animals. We were able to see the animals up close, learn a lot about the people, birds , vegetation etc. We had several sundowners in the bush really added to a magical experience with beautiful sunsets. I would highly recommend Goway to all my friends, they will not be disappointed. Thank you to Bijal for the excellent African Safari that you put together for us. You were wonderful.Nancy Hay
