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. 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. Travel from Stellenbosch to Franschhoek, and indulge in exclusive tastings and gourmet experiences that are integral to South Africa vacations. 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.

With so many experiences to offer, South Africa is more than just a destination; it's a world of its own.

This is an excellent tour agency that provides an excellent, all inclusive safari experience in South Africa, especially in the renown Kruger National Park. The agency will provide a very detailed, day-by-day itinerary of the trip, which, for the most part, describes exactly the order of activities that a customer will experience from start to end of the reserved trip. Our safari trip included a hotel pick-up in Cape Town in the beginning of the safari trip and drop-off at the end of the trip. Flights to and from either Johannesburg or Mpumalanga airport are included. We reserved a 3-day safari trip which included an afternoon safari the first day, a full day safari the 2nd day, and a morning safari the 3rd day. The lodge where we stayed was very clean with modern and convenient accommodations, including WIFI and breakfast. The guides are well trained and very knowledgeable about all animals we came across during our trip, and were also very courteous, polite and easy to engage in conversation. They made our safari trip exciting but safe! I would highly recommend this safari tour agency. Christos Patriotis

I had an amazing trip. It was more than I could have expected. I got to see everything I wished to see while I was abroad. All the guides were lovely and provided me with excellent knowledge on their cities/tours. Especially in China where it was their holiday week and they all took time away from their families to make me around their cities. The tour company in Japan made sure I got to every tour destination and knew what the plan was for each day. This is the second time I have used Goway for traveling and it has exceeded my expectations. katieahotmail.com

We just returned from a 2 week tour of South Africa, Zimbabwe(Victoria Falls) and Botswana, and had a fabulous time! This was the third tour I've used Goway, and as usual, it was such a positive experience! The accommodations that were booked were awesome! The hotels were luxurious, clean and the staff, all so warm and welcoming! Our travel agent, Vanessa Lloyd, did a fabulous job arranging everything, and was always available to answer my many questions! We'll be using them again, next year when we take a family trip to the Greek Islands and Turkey! They are always consistent in the quality of the hotels and experiences, and I highly recommend them for your travel needs!Fran Nitta Barnes

We are still on our journey in Italy. At Capri now and heading to the Amalfi Coast. So far, we can’t thank Goway enough for putting our itinerary together so quickly. Everything is going well and hope the next 10 days are perfect too. Gladys Vivian

Can't say enough good things about Goway Travel. From the very start, our travel rep, Harpreet, listened carefully to what we were hoping to see and do on our first trip to Japan. She asked great questions and then came back to us with a detailed itinerary packed with adventure and fun, and all within our travel budget. From the moment we took off from LAX, Harpreet had made sure we had every tour voucher, hotel voucher, plane ticket, train ticket, literally every detail covered. All we had to do was follow our itinerary. Also, Harpreet booked us into terrific hotels. Each one was spotlessly clean, comfortable, included a full (and delicious) breakfast and, most importantly, was centrally located to all of the activities she had planned for us. So everything was a 5 or 10-minute walk away. In three weeks' time we were able to visit six cities and so many fascinating shrines, temples, castles, imperial palaces - most of which were World Heritage sites. Harpreet also tucked in fabulous "experiences" like learning how to make sushi with a professional chef, enjoying a tea ceremony and watching graceful Geishas dance. My husband and I are seasoned travelers. But we don't speak Japanese and we really knew very little about the country. There is no way we would have been able to see and do all of the fascinating things we did in Japan if we hadn't chosen Goway Travel to be our guide. Many thanks for an unforgettable trip!

Great country (Italy), great people and love the feel you get by just being you. Ingrid Aird did a great job with a pair of tours one private and one group. Organizing pickup from airport and flights. Hotel, Enterprise Hotel, after a bit of a rough start getting us into a proper room, was more than excellent.Thomas Helps

We were looking forward to a magical vacation in Greece, and Goway Travel delivered on all fronts. This is the second time that we have booked with them (the first being an incredible excursion in Thailand), and everything went along swimmingly. Only on one occasion did a tour go sideways, but our Goway specialist (Patrick) took care of it for us. When your tour involves many flights, numerous hotels, various tours, ferries, and transfers, it is nice to know that your travel specialist can handle it all. Goway (from Patrick to all the other staff involved) handled everything in such a professional manner. Thanks Goway for such an incredible experience in Greece. I look forward to another adventure in the near future!Jenny Friess

We recently returned from France - three cities in two weeks - and our trip was fantastic! Jacqueline helped us with a return to France with no worries and concerns. Drivers met us at every destination- hotels were superb and the individual tours memorable. This is a return vacation with Goway and we could not be more pleased. The customer service is top notch and all questions answered promptly. For us seniors, we appreciate all the thoughtfulness and consideration.ElizaGray

While researching suppliers for a clients Thailand honeymoon, I remembered being referred to GoWay by a longterm TA ….because they “get it right and get it done!” I had already started their training modules, so I put in a quote. Immediately, Taylor responded with a very thorough email and we decided to chat. I gave him my specifics and he again responded immediately and matched my client’s travel needs 100%. I found it comforting to speak with a country expert with the knowledge I needed. My clients booked their vacation and are very excited about their itinerary! Thank you Taylor for making this process seamless.Karla B
