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

  • Plan your visit during the dry season (July through October) to witness the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara.
  • Ensure your travel itinerary allows for both safari experiences and leisure time on Kenya's pristine beaches.
  • When choosing Kenya travel packages, consider options that support local communities, offering sustainable and eco-friendly travel experiences.
  • Stay informed about local customs and traditions to ensure respectful interactions with local communities.

The allure of Kenya lies in its unparalleled diversity, a land where adventure and discovery beckon at every turn. Through custom holiday trips to Kenya, you can experience the thrill of the wild, the warmth of its communities, and the serenity of its landscapes—all tailored to your unique preferences and interests. Whether you're an intrepid explorer, a culture buff, or a culinary enthusiast, Kenya promises a journey that will capture your heart and ignite your wanderlust.

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

Everything was expertly planned, from the drivers to the hotels to the tours to the flights. We particularly enjoyed Hobart and the animal sanctuary, Adelaide and the trip to Kangaroo Island, Melbourne and the evening tour with dinner and drinks, and Sydney with the private boat cruise of the Harbour. We will definitely use Goway again.SARA Wiebe

There were 4 travelers on this trip. All of us were in our late 70's. We started planning this trip 6 months prior to our travel date and had a lot of questions regarding this trip. Our Goway Travel Specialist, Karen Larrota, always answered our questions in a timely and complete manner. We traveled to Quito, Ecuador, the Galapagos, The Sacred Valley in Peru, Machu Picchu, and Cusco in Peru. Not only were the destinations and accommodations excellent, but every tour guide and driver were beyond excellent. The entire trip went smoothly every step of the way, which was amazing given the fact that there were numerous flights and hotels included in our package. We found out that the tour company that Goway used, Condor Travel, checked on us with our guide to make sure we were doing OK which we thought was very nice but also amusing as we are fairly fit older adults. Would also like to mention that we did a cruise thru the Galapagos on the Galapagos Legend which was arranged thru Go Galapagos - Kleintouurs. This portion of our tour was also excellent as were the wildlife guides and staff. We continue to discuss how wonderful this trip was with our family and friends and how wonderful this experience was. Would definately use Goway for our travel needs in the future.Dianne

After spending some time with our agent, we felt that she understood exactly what we had in mind as far as the level of service, etc, we were hoping for. The trip exceeded our expectations. Lori kept us busy(not too busy!) and we had many, many very exciting experiences. Bruce Belshaw

My daughter and I had a wonderful 2 weeks in New Zealand! The country is so beautiful and the people so friendly. Our destination specialist did a great job with planning and organizing the itinerary, choosing our hotels, and organizing transportation. The hotels were absolutely beautiful and we had great views. We felt right at home and found all of the staff to be friendly and accommodating. There were no issues with our itinerary and our excursions we were always on the list. Our transportation was always ready and waiting for us. We want to thank Goway Travel for their hard work and patience with us in planning this trip. Any changes that needed to be made were communicated timely. We also want to thank you for the beautiful weather during the entire 2 weeks it was perfect every day 😀. It was a memorable trip that we will never forget and we will think of Goway when we plan our next adventure. Because it was not just a vacation; it was an adventure!Connie Wenhardt

Brigitta Fuller is Amazing! She was my group coordinator. She understood the assignment and all the nuances I was trying to achieve. The itinerary she curated was fantastic. If you want someone who truly cares about her group and what they are trying to achieve. I will always reach out to Brigitta first for Europe groups. Kathryn Walker

My clients had a wonderful time on their trip to Easter Island. They were very pleased with the Hare Nua Hotel Boutique and especially noted the warmth and hospitality of the hotel staff as well as their excellent breakfasts. Jaime Vargas-Hendandez was an exceptionally gracious and knowledgeable agent, who went out of his way to ensure that my clients had the best possible experience. I will definitely contact him for future bookings and will recommend him to my colleagues.Alethea Kardas
