Discover the Wild Charm of Kruger National Park

Begin your adventure vacation in South Africa with a visit to the legendary Kruger National Park. This world-renowned sanctuary is not just a travel destination but a doorway into the untamed wilderness. Imagine waking to the sound of an elephant herd rustling through the bush or a majestic lion roaring at dawn. With guided safaris, every journey into the park becomes a thrilling exploration filled with the breathtaking sights of Africa's Big Five. The sheer diversity of wildlife amidst the backdrop of lush landscapes is a testament to South Africa's natural splendour.

An Unforgettable Allure of Table Mountain

Next, set your sights on the iconic Table Mountain in Cape Town. Rising majestically above the city, this flat-topped sentinel offers panoramic views that stretch as far as the eye can see. The ascent—either by cable car or for the more adventurous, a challenging hike—culminates in a sense of awe at the blend of urban vibrancy and nature's grandeur. As part of South Africa vacation packages, this experience is both a serene escape and a testament to nature's majesty.

Dive into the Rich Culture of the Winelands

No adventure in South Africa is complete without indulging in the rich flavours of its wine country. The Cape Winelands, with their rolling vineyards and historic estates, offer a cultural and gastronomic adventure. Here, sample world-class wines paired with delectable local cuisine, a delightful foray into South African hospitality and culinary artistry. Each sip tells a story, reflected in the landscapes that cradle these renowned vineyards.

Pinnacle of Adventure in the Drakensberg Mountains

For those who thrive on excitement, the Drakensberg Mountains are a true adventurer's paradise. Stretching across the eastern provincial border, these mountains promise hiking trails that wind through valleys and ascend towering peaks. Whether you tackle their heights or explore the enchanting valleys below, the Drakensberg offers both a physical challenge and spiritual rejuvenation. This majestic range is often included in adventure vacation packages to South Africa, tailored to those brave souls seeking to connect deeply with nature.

Experience the Thrill of the Garden Route

Venture along South Africa's famed Garden Route, a journey that unveils a rich tapestry of coastal beauty and rugged landscapes.

Each stop along this route reveals South Africa's capacity to surprise and delight, with vacation packages designed to showcase the endless adventures waiting to be discovered.

Connect with Heritage at Robben Island

To truly understand South Africa's deep cultural roots, a visit to Robben Island is essential. This UNESCO World Heritage site stands as a powerful monument to the resilience and triumph of the human spirit. Tours led by former inmates offer personal insights into the country's complex history, capturing moments of heartache and hope that resonate profoundly with visitors. It’s not just a journey through history; it’s a transformative experience that leaves an indelible mark on every traveller exploring adventure travel in South Africa.

We had a blast and felt covered by GoAway throughout. This was our first time using a travel agent and Melissa and her team made it easy. I also appreciated the quick communication while on our trip. I only wish that we got our official itinerary and tickets sooner as we did not receive them until a week prior. But it is busy season so I understand. Courtney McCarthy

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. Our agent, Lori Mazzono, got tuned into the sort of trip we were hoping to have immediately. 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
