A Journey through Rwanda's Natural Wonders

Embarking on Rwanda private tours reveals the country's stunning natural beauty. Nyungwe Forest National Park, one of Africa's oldest rainforests, is a highlight. As you wander through its dense foliage, you'll encounter a rich diversity of wildlife, including chimpanzees and colobus monkeys. The canopy walk offers a breathtaking perspective, immersing you in the vibrant ecosystem below.

A highlight for many visitors is a trek to see the majestic mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park. Encountering these gentle giants in their natural habitat is a profound experience that leaves an indelible mark on the heart and soul. Accompanied by an expert guide, this private experience in Rwanda provides both educational insights and the thrill of adventure.

Cultural Immersion and Historical Exploration

Beyond its natural allure, Rwanda invites travellers to delve into its rich cultural tapestry. The city of Kigali stands as a beacon of resilience and progress. A visit to the Kigali Genocide Memorial offers a poignant reflection on the past, while the bustling markets showcase the vibrant present. Engage with local artisans and discover the creativity infused into traditional crafts.

For a deeper cultural encounter, venture to the Iby'Iwacu Cultural Village. Here, traditional dances, drumming, and storytelling bring to life the everyday rhythms and rituals of Rwandan life. This immersive experience allows a personal connection with the community, enriching your understanding and appreciation of Rwanda's cultural heritage.

Rwanda's Exquisite Flavours

No Rwanda vacation package is complete without sampling the country's unique cuisine. Savour the rich, earthy flavours of brochettes or taste the spicy tang of akabenz. Rwanda's food scene is a delightful fusion of traditional staples and contemporary twists, offering something for every palate.

Kigali's burgeoning restaurant scene, with establishments like Repub Lounge and The Hut, promises gourmet dining experiences. Enjoy dishes crafted from locally sourced ingredients while taking in panoramic views of the city's rolling hills.

Globetrotters should try to experience The Gorilla Naming Ceremony : Culturally, the naming of an infant is a big affair, and Rwanda has adopted the same cultural event with the New-born Mountain Gorillas, as way to highlight the need to protect these gentle giants that were on the verge of being hunted to extinction.

Rwanda is always a surprise; especially for a 1st time visitor to Africa. The beautiful landscape (hills, mountains and rivers), is accentuated by the clean and organised infrastructure. Being a small country with shorter drives between parks, Rwanda offers superb photography experiences.

I just returned from escorting 34 people to China with four stops. We had hotels, local guides and extensive daily sightseeing. We had flights and we had high speed rail. There were numerous components that could have gone wrong but did not. I would like to highly recommend local guide Yoyo in Shanghai as well as Kevin in Xian. Two of the best guides I have ever had anywhere in the world. Suzette Castro and her team at the Goway Group Department did an excellent job helping me put this together. I was demanding, they were totally cooperative. It went well. I will be back. Amy Fink, CTC at Blue Ribbon Travel ArrangementsAmy in San Bruno, CA

Had an extremely great holiday in China and hongkong & Thailand! Quite a few $$$(More than what we had planned, but if you want top luxury and experience - never haggle) Ameet our destination specialist was prompt and professional. He gave us the right suggestions and planned our trip meticulously and without interruptions. Goway 24 x7 customer service is incredible and I would definitely book my next trip with Goway!

I was looking at a month holiday in New Zealand and Australia and Natasa Jaric who is located in the Toronto area helped to make it happened by combining 2 already designed holidays in Oceania. From the beginning to the end, Natasa was "hands on" by explaining and providing everything I needed for our trip. During our trip, there were few bumps on the road that had nothing to do with Goway Travel as it was the airline company that cancelled our scheduled flight and created chaos. And the other problems (they were light) was because of the way hotels described their rooms. It should definitely be better worded! Db to me means double bed ... what does it mean to you? ;-) Anyhow, we ended up having two beds but with some arguments at one hotel only. The others accommodated us at no extra cost. I should also add that NZ and Aus. know how to treat tourists. I was particularly impressed with the transfers services offered by different companies both in NZ and Aus. Wow! No waiting at the airports, hotels or terminals. They were there ready to pick us up and drive us where ever we needed to be! Well done!!! It's the kind of service that I will have a hard time not to use again as it comes with a $ sign but definitely worth spending it! :-). I received a very good response from the "Help office" when the flight was cancelled and other inquiries I had made. Very good service once again. I live quite a few experiences during that month and all thanks need to go to Natasa and her team. So Natasa: Thank you very very much for a very well organized travel! Carole Ouellet

This was my first time planning a tour wth Goway Travel. I am truly delighted with the professionalism and personal relationship I had with the Goway Travel consultant Christine. She gave attention to every details I requested to curate my tour to Hong Kong and Bali. She addressed all my needs, answered thoroughly my questions and concerns. She is a touch of class in every respect. I will definitely recommend Goway Travel group. Excellent Hotels. Perfect guides in both countries. LE Asia Tour

Ingrid did a phenomenal job creating a 22 day trip beginning in with 3 days in Turkey, that included a Turkish Bath and a private tour of the mosques, we then took a 10 day cruise through the Mediterranean, Greece, Croatia, plus a couple of other stops. We got off the cruise in Ravenna Italy our transportation was spot on picking us up (I would have to stay all of our transportation was impressive, always there, on time, very helpful) we traveled from Ravenna to Venice where we stayed for two nights. Venice is the only place we had a hiccup, we weren't sure if someone was meeting us at our Hotel to take us to the water taxi to get to the train station, we figured it out, made the train and all was good. Traveled to Florence, had the best time there with one of our most favorite excusions, stayed in Florence for two nights and then completed our trip with three nights in Rome. Rome is BUSY, I was not prepared for that but should of expected it. This is our second big trip planning through Goway Travel, I can not recommend enough, they are so detailed and take care of everything you need and everything you didn't know you needed.
