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. This historic stretch of road weaves through charming towns and pristine beaches, with possibilities for bungee jumping off the Bloukrans Bridge or canoeing in the serene waters of the Wilderness National Park. 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 recently traveled to Portugal and had the most wonderful experience. As our first venture overseas, we decided to search online for travel assistance. We happened across Goway Travel and are so glad we did! Michael Keon, our Destination Specialist, is extremely proficient and knowledgeable in his profession. "Thorough" is an understatement. He assisted every step of the way from the moment we stepped on our flights, transfer arrangements, hotel accommodations, train travel and multiple tours/outings tailored to our specific needs/wish list. He provided unparalleled guidance and support during the planning process and was always available to discuss any questions/concerns. His communications were always prompt and concise. Without a doubt, our best trip to date...there will be no hesitation to contact Mr. Keon for future travels. Joanna Lynn Mays Michael Andrew Mays Joanna Mays

What made this experience great was Cedric Wai. Had a client going to Asia and this is Cedric's wheelhouse since he is from there. Everything was wonderful. Everything went smoothly. The individual tours were wonderful and all the guides were exceptional. A lot of traveling-the flight was very good on Cathay Pacific would highly recommend their airline seats were comfortable and spaced well. Being on an airplane for 16 hours sucks in general, but other than being a little sore from being stuck in one place all was good. Thank you so much for all your help and the trip was wonderful and everything that it should be! Next trip will be much more relaxing, sitting still for a while on a beach somewhere ha ha!Careen Sullivan

My destination specialist, Katie Stephenson was amazing from the onset. Her customer service, communication style and planning skills was so timely and top notch. Our trip was to Fiji, New Zealand and Australia, from Aug 4-22, 2026. The way she planned and booked the trip makes the experience convenient and enjoyable. The flexibility of payment makes the decision faster and attractive. Everything we need to know including contacts were readily available within our travel documents itinerary. Overall, I'll say it's money well spent and a lifetime experience particularly for my kids.Festus

Had an excellent tour of Australia, thanks to our travel specialist Katie Stephenson. She was patient as we kept modifying our plans. Got support from Goway and Katie when there was a need to rebook a tour midway through, all handled easily by Goway.Ron Preston

We went on a highly customized comprehensive (though quick tour) of England and a bit of Scotland through Goway. Ingrid Aird did an amazing job of planning and arranging every detail with her deep experience, insight, thoughtfulness and creativity, tuning into the needs of each traveler; and she did so even though our decision to travel was rather spontaneous and last minute! Our family had the best time! We look forward to working with Ingrid and Goway again!Vilja Breiling
