Discover the Splendour of South Africa

Imagine embarking on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, waking to the calls of the wild in a luxury safari lodge. 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.

For those who prefer urban elegance, the cities of Johannesburg and Cape Town are paradises of cultural richness and modern luxury.

Culinary Journeys and Wine Adventures

South Africa tantalizes your taste buds with an impressive culinary scene and world-class vineyards.

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.

  • Embrace Local Culture: Engaging with local communities and cultural practices enhances the richness of your experience.

Bijal and Martin (tour guide in Kenya) made this the trip of a lifetime. I felt safe every minute of the trip. I did not care for the travel from the Serengeti to Ngorogoro Crater. I felt the last hotel was too far from the crater i was exhausted not wanted to travel to the crater. The travel was absolutely brutal for 6 hoursKathie Becker

Our safari in Tanzania was excellent. Brooke Theron, our Goway representative, was easy to work with, responsive and knowledgeable. Our guide in Tanzania, Anwar Razak, was outstanding. His knowledge and his driving ability was impressive. He was also engaging. We enjoyed our time with Anwar. The camps that Goway recommended were comfortable, welcoming and surprisingly luxurious while capturing the essence of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We had a wonderful trip. Jack B.

I am so happy to use Goway for my tour experience while visiting Vietnam during Oct 15 through October 29, 2026. We had 3 very good, thoughtful, and caring guides in Hanoi, Danang, and Ho Chi Minh City. They were very knowledgeable for each of their respective areas. they all fulfilled every part of our itinerary. I wish to give an extra acknowledgment to my guide in Danang and Hoi An. Mr. Phung Van Hung was very friendly and caring for me. During my stay in Hoi An, I became sick and required a visit to the local hospital in Hoi An. I contacted Mr. Phung, and he graciously offered to take me and stay with me to interpret during my visit for medical care even though he was not working that day. I really appreciate his extra above and beyond service he provided. I really must let Goway know, he is a wonderful guide!George C.

Suzzette and her team provided exceptional support throughout our year‑long planning process for our Bali group. Despite multiple changes, updates, and last‑minute cancellations, she remained organized, responsive, and solution‑focused. Asia Trails Indonesia delivered a seamless experience from arrival to departure, and our guides, Dayu and Adit, were outstanding; prompt, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. The coordination across multiple departure cities, the curated excursions, and the overall flow of the itinerary were executed beautifully. My group thoroughly enjoyed the trip and is already asking about returning. I highly recommend Suzzette as a group coordinator for her professionalism, dedication, and high‑quality service.Anchored Memories Travel

Mike K. graciously provided us with a perfect itinerary, offering us flexible high quality options for our trip. We added in a few complex details and he maneuvered around them creating smooth transitions. Planning an overseas 11 day trip can be overwhelming and Mike made everything feel easy.

Goway staff was available to us throughout our entire trip to Costa Rica. Their involvement was seamless and surprisingly smooth between them and all of our hotels and tours. We have been totally impressed with their involvement with our travel agent and their complete resolution of the only problem we had during the 2 different international trips that we have taken.Diana McCrory

Thank you to Goway for a great and enjoyable 7 day tour in China, for our Canadian group of 14! Very special thanks to the local guides in Shanghai, Xi’an and Beijing ( Richard, Richard and James) who were second to none! Each was a knowledgeable ambassador for their home city, working hard to ensure our enjoyment and comfort, and to showcase the beauty of each area and its current and historical sites. They very kindly and patiently assisted everyone, and especially accommodated 2 of our group who encountered unexpected wellness challenges. The local bus drivers for our group were experts too, keeping us on time and safe on the roads and highways. Hotels were beautiful, welcoming, well located and appointed, quiet, comfortable and clean. Additional travel arrangements by air and high speed train went off without a hitch. KATHLEEN LLOYD

This was the first time we used Goway Travel and Brooke Theron was absolutely the best to deal with. Our safari in Africa was fabulous and we were able to have all four questions answered before we left. It was a trip to remember and we would recommend both Brooke and Goway to other who are looking for a great experience. Thanks Brooke and Goway.Joyce Robinson
