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.

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

Our trip to Japan was great. All our Goway arrangements preformed like clockwork and the guides for the tours were wonderful. Unfortunately, Mt. Fuji was in total fog but at least the lunch was very good and so was the drum solo, also our tour guide kept our spirits up ( she was the best). Taryn picked hotels that were very convenient to the meeting point of our tours which was much appreciated and organized all aspects of our trip perfectly. So from our airport pickup to our last day in Tokyo everything ran very smoothly so we have used Goway before and will certainly use it again and reccommend Goway to others.JW

We have used Goway Travel for previous trips and have been very happy with their excellent service. Our last trip to New Zealand and Australia was no exception.

The various booking she provided were, without exception, exceptional and exactly what we envisioned, We really don't think we would have changed anything. tBruce Belshaw

Mary was absolutely fantastic to work with. She was incredibly responsive and quick to assist with every update and change my clients made throughout the planning process. Her expertise was invaluable, from recommending the perfect resorts to advising on the best way to travel between the islands. My clients loved every moment of their trip, especially their resort stays and overwater bungalow experiences. As this was their honeymoon, creating a seamless and memorable journey was so important, and Mary exceeded expectations. They rated their experience a 5 out of 5 and could not have been happier. Thank you, Mary, for your outstanding support and attention to detail. I truly appreciated your partnership and would not hesitate to work with you again for future South Pacific Island bookings.

We had an exceptional experience with Goway Travel on our recent trip to Africa. From start to finish, every detail was thoughtfully planned and flawlessly executed, which made the entire journey stress-free. The recommendations on where to go and what to do were absolutely fantastic! Each stop felt perfectly curated and exceeded our expectations. It was clear that Goway truly understands the destinations they offer and knows how to create a memorable, well-balanced itinerary. A special thank you to our travel consultant, Bijal, who was outstanding throughout the entire process. Bijal was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and supportive while we prepared for the trip, ensuring that all our questions were answered and that every detail was taken care of. Their guidance made a big difference in building our confidence and excitement leading up to the trip. I would highly recommend Goway Travel to anyone looking for a seamless, expertly planned travel experience. We will definitely be using them again for our future adventures! Harjit C

Elisa planned our trip. We were met at the airport by Paul who drove us to Arusha. Adam, our guide and driver was with us the whole trip and was very knowledgeable about the country and the animals & birds we encountered. Accommodations were excellent, meals were delicious and the Tanzanian people we met at each location were so kind and welcoming. A wonderful trip.pat vickers

We had a wonderful trip to Peru for 11 days organized by Goway. Overall the trip was great, we loved our guides throughout, some of the hotels were truly amazing and it was helpful having everything organized and having a point person to ask questions and check in while we were there. Some main highlights were: 1) Machu Picchu- I am so glad we did two tours, because the weather was perfect for views, but also had an opportunity to see Machu Picchu more in depth with a knowledgeable and friendly guide and had a little extra time in Aguas Calientes to shop, explore and even visit the butterfly garden and do some birdwatching. 2) Cusco especially the Hotel Aranwa Cusco. The hotel was incredible, excellent service, modern updates, it was a true highlight of the trip. Cusco itself was also a highlight, loved our half day tour, plus getting ideas for our guide on what else to see in our free time and where to eat. 3) Lima- Aloft Miraflores was another highlight, very modern, nice pool and the best breakfast out of the hotels we stayed in. The location in Miraflores was also perfect, as there were plenty of restaurants, cafes and attractions nearby. 4) Everyone at Condor was great, from ensuring we had all our documents, tickets and itinerary to even stepping in to get water and agua Florida when we were feeling the altitude sickness the first hours in Cusco. Most of our rides and transfers were very comfortable and made the trip run smooth through all the different locations. I have been telling my friends and family how wonderful the experience with Goway has been for our Peru adventure. Eric Paul Schatzel
