Discover the Splendour of South Africa

South Africa’s renowned national parks, such as Kruger National Park, invite you to witness the majestic Big Five in their natural habitat. These getaways offer exclusive travel packages South Africa is famed for, pairing thrilling wildlife encounters with opulent accommodations where service is an art form.

Luxe Safari: The Heart of Adventure

A journey through South Africa isn't complete without a safari. But it’s not just the wildlife that captivates—it’s the blend of adventure and comfort. Picture yourself enjoying sundowners while overlooking a sprawling savanna, or dining under the stars as traditional drumbeats echo in the distance. The careful curation of these experiences within South Africa five-star travel packages ensures that every moment is as luxurious as it is unforgettable.

City Chic: Culture Meets Luxury

For those who prefer urban elegance, the cities of Johannesburg and Cape Town are paradises of cultural richness and modern luxury. Cape Town, with its iconic Table Mountain, offers an urban escape with a touch of the exotic. Visit the historic Robben Island, stroll along the V&A Waterfront, or explore the colourful streets of Bo-Kaap. Each visit is a new chapter in South Africa’s vibrant narrative.

Culinary Journeys and Wine Adventures

South Africa tantalizes your taste buds with an impressive culinary scene and world-class vineyards. The Cape Winelands are a must-visit for wine aficionados, presenting an exquisite tapestry of flavours.

Pair bold wines with equally bold scenery for a journey that delights the senses.

Safari and Beach: The Best of Both Worlds

Combining a safari with a beach retreat could be the epitome of indulgence. After encountering the wilderness, bask in the warm embrace of South Africa's pristine beaches. The exquisite resorts along the Garden Route or the paradisiacal beaches of KwaZulu-Natal offer relaxation at its finest, where turquoise waters and golden sands create a serene post-safari haven.

Practical Advice for an Unforgettable Journey

To ensure your South African journey is seamless, consider these tips:

  • Choose the Right Season: Each region has its own allure depending on the season. Safaris are typically best during the dry winter months.
  • Travel Light and Smart: While luxury accommodations cater to most needs, packing light helps with the frequent transitions between destinations.
  • Embrace Local Culture: Engaging with local communities and cultural practices enhances the richness of your experience.

Allan Birkett at Goway has been an absolute godsend! Over the past year, he has helped me plan numerous vacations—especially honeymoons—and has been an incredible partner every step of the way. He is always quick to respond, patient with my clients' frequent changes, and goes above and beyond to help whenever an issue comes up. His knowledge, professionalism, and dedication make my job as a travel advisor so much easier. I truly appreciate everything Allan does and highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional service. Thank you, Allan, for always being thereBrooke Echols

Our 2-week trip to Normandy, Switzerland and Italy after we disembarked from the Queen Mary 2 in Southampton in mid-May was superb. Michael Keon did an amazing job of putting together highlights for us to see and visit with the short time we had. All the train reservations, private and small group tours and transportations were very well coordinated, on time, and usually exceeded our expectations. Drivers were courteous and knowledgeable. Mike did a wonderful job getting everything coordinated, in spite of our almost “last minute” booking. I booked a month-long trip through GOWAY back in 1989 for Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, and they were superb then. So I tried them again, and found the entire organization to be even better. Mike was quick to respond to any questions that came up regarding booksings and times, regardless of the 6-hour time difference. Just superb! Although we had a nasty experience in Milan, GOWAY was very responsive and saw to our requests and our needs. Again, Michael Keon is the person who coordinated our travel. I will ask for Mike when I travel again with GOWAY. I recommend GOWAY highly. PJ Wheeler

Goway helped plan our two week trip to Peru and they (Virginia in particular) did a great job. The on-site logistics with Condor Travel went very smoothly, and the trip exceeded our expectations overall. They proactively suggested changes to our initial itinerary which were welcomed. I would recommend them and would work with them again in the future.Kate O'Neill

I recently went on an African Safari with my brother-in-law and sister and another couple who I knew. The entire experience was absolutely unbelievable. The complete details were flawlessly coordinated from the transfers to the breathtaking lodges. Our guides Peter showed us Kenya and Maulid Tanzania were very knowledgeable and very sharp eyes for finding the animals. We were able to see the animals up close, learn a lot about the people, birds , vegetation etc. We had several sundowners in the bush really added to a magical experience with beautiful sunsets. I would highly recommend Goway to all my friends, they will not be disappointed. Thank you to Bijal for the excellent African Safari that you put together for us. You were wonderful.Nancy Hay
