Unveiling the Wild: Serengeti National Park

Embark on a journey across the vast expanse of the Serengeti National Park, where the spectacle of the Great Migration awaits. Here, millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles traverse the plains, guided by the rhythm of nature itself. Witnessing this incredible phenomenon is a highlight of any Tanzania adventure vacation. As the sun sets, painting the sky with shades of orange and pink, the Serengeti transforms into a mystical landscape, offering a canvas of endless adventure opportunities.

The Majestic Summit: Mount Kilimanjaro

For thrill-seekers, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is the pinnacle of Tanzania adventure travel. Standing as Africa's highest peak, "Kili" offers trekkers an unparalleled journey through lush rainforests, alpine meadows, and arid landscapes. The climb, though challenging, rewards adventurers with awe-inspiring vistas and a profound sense of achievement. As dawn breaks, climbers are greeted by the breathtaking sight of the sun rising above the African plains.

Cultural Tapestry: The Maasai Experience

No journey to Tanzania would be complete without immersing yourself in the vibrant cultures of its people. The Maasai, known for their distinct nomadic lifestyle and rich traditions, offer a unique cultural experience. Engage with the Maasai community, learn about their daily lives, and partake in traditional dances. This cultural encounter not only enriches your journey but also highlights the importance of preserving these ancient traditions amidst the tides of modernity.

Aquatic Wonders: Zanzibar's Pristine Beaches

After exploring the wild terrains and cultural heartlands, treat yourself to the tranquil beaches of Zanzibar. This idyllic island is famous for its white sandy shores and crystal-clear waters, perfect for diving, snorkeling, and relaxation. Explore the vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life or simply unwind under a swaying palm tree. For history enthusiasts, the UNESCO World Heritage site of Stone Town offers a glimpse into the island’s rich trading past, adding another layer of intrigue to your Tanzanian vacation.

Practical Tips for Your Tanzanian Adventure

  • Best Time to Visit: The dry seasons, from June to October and December to February, are ideal for wildlife viewing and climbing Kilimanjaro.
  • Visa Requirements: Canadian travellers require a visa to enter Tanzania, which can be obtained on arrival or online before your trip.
  • Health Precautions: Malaria prophylaxis is recommended, and travellers should ensure their vaccinations are up to date.
  • Local Currency: The Tanzanian Shilling (TZS) is the local currency. Credit cards are accepted in major cities, but carry cash for rural areas.

Embark on Your Tanzanian Adventure

Tanzania holds a treasure trove of experiences that promise to captivate every traveller’s heart. Whether you’re pursuing the thrill of a safari, the challenge of a mountain climb, or the serenity of a beach escape, Tanzania vacation packages cater to all desires. So pack your bags and set out on a journey that intertwines adventure with culture, delivering memories to last a lifetime.

An ideal first-time itinerary starts in Arusha and ends in Zanzibar. To maximize time, “Sky Safari” packages using small aircraft to fly guests directly between lodges offer breathtaking aerial views of Tanzania’s diverse landscapes as well as convenience.

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

I can't tell you enough how much I love to work with Callie. She is a life saver and I love how attentive she is. Every time I give her an itinerary for a client- she really knocks it out of the park with the proposal. If there are any issues- she is on it right away. Her work ethic is outstanding.Michelle Labarca

I had the pleasure of working with Amelia on a booking for a family of 4 to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. She executed everything perfectly, was attentive to needs and the family was over the top happy with their vacation. She was quick to answer questions and provide helpful feedback. Highly recommended!Jessie Williams

We were trying to navigate Swiss Travel Center to book a 10 day train trip through Switzerland. It was exactly what we wanted but navigating their site was extremely difficult for us. Goway Travel picked up on our plight and put us in contact with Jacqueline Fagooli, one of their agents. From there on everything was so smooth. Their efficiency, communication, and thoroughness were beyond our expectations. The trip was fabulous and kudos to Jacqueline and Goway for their help in making it so.Carolyn McCormack

The destination specialist I've worked with (Kim Rawlings) has provided exceptional service. She is very knowledgeable of her region and everything they have to offer. She is very prompt in her communication and follow-up. She listens and is very attentive to my client's needs and wants. Kim's personality makes one feel like they've known each other for years. If GoWay had a customer service model, Kim is it.T. Jackson, Tribe Trek Travel
