Imagine a place where nature's grandeur meets the thrill of discovery—this is Tanzania. Known for its breathtaking landscapes and vibrant cultures, Tanzania offers an adventure like no other. From the iconic plains of the Serengeti to the enchanting beaches of Zanzibar, this East African gem is a paradise for those seeking the ultimate Tanzania adventure travel.

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.

We were just back from an ambitious 42-day grand circle through seven of the ASEAN countries! An itinerary gestating over a period of time, carefully planned and pore over intently all the way through proved satisfying as expected, but the amazing "embarras de richesse" in six weeks such as we've never experienced before truly went beyond our imagination, both in terms of scenery and culture! Here we owe our destination specialist Taryn a profound gratitude for her insight and for her coordination efforts. When our debit card was not retrievable in an airport ATM Taryn again went out of her way to approve a small loan through transfer to our local guide's bank account, who then withdrew cash from an ATM while we simply paid Goway Travel by credit card through an online payment link. This helped us tremendously through that difficult moment. We will always treasure this kindness on her part.Yuan Lin

Alice was most helpful - full of insider suggestions. She was a good listener and able to provide tours, routes and guides tailored to our interests. She made our February trip to New Zealand entirely wonderful. Marlene

We did a 19 day NZ Rail and Cruise Discovery Tour and then a 12 day Australian tour put together by out specialized travel operator Joanne Palanuik. New Zealand- ABT Tours ran the actual tour and did a fabulous job. The Guide Sharon was great and worked very hard coordinating 32 people. Mostly all Australians and we has so much fun with them! Our driver Chris (a retired policeman) was especially great- he knew so many interesting things about NZ and shared them while driving throughout the trip. We loved him! So many highlights...overnight on a ship in the Milford Sound...cable car to a nature reserve then a Gold Class train ride back...Queenstown adventures..excellent meals along the way...all drivers and transfers were excellent too. Oceana Tours in Melbourne were great as well. A morning city tour and afternoon tour were wonderful. Then the next day to Philips Island for the Penguin moonlit march was sooo special. And the Ocean road cruise too!! Sydney was gorgeous...Bondi Beach...Barrier Reef...Ayers Rock (Uluru) Both Australians and New Zealanders were so helpful and friendly... In short I wish I could do it all over again..highly recommend. Every day was a new adventure :) Kathleen Reardon customer

Katie was a dream to work with. We made many changes to the standard itinerary to customize our trip and she never missed a beat. Her responsiveness and humor made working together a joy and her most common response to our very packed activities was, “can I help with that?” Hotels, car rental all went smoothly and were very much to our liking. The super long flights were laid out to minimize travel time and maximize comfort. Katie and GoWay made this dream trip happen. Faye

Its all about the journey, isn't it? And our journey through Kenya, Africa was amazing and we have Bijal Kana of Goway Travel to thank for it. From the start when we first discussed a true Safari adventure, Bijal was being helpful. Her suggestions were helpful in where to go and how we could save a few dollars when possible. Never trying to be cheap but simply, cost conscious. This was the beginning of what will continue as a forever working relationship in travel. Bijal gained our confidence and trust. And that is a rare commodity these days. Then too there was the staff from Goway and Sense of Africa like Ruth, Wilson and Francis who allowed us to see the non tourist side of Nairobi and became fast friends. The wonderful selections made by Bijal as to where we would stay and all the Serena locations were marvelous. And at the last minute, when a bridge got washed out and we could not get to the last lodge camp, Bijal responded to our whatsapp call immediately and we were placed in the Sorova lodge. True not the same, but in the middle of a game area, who complains? It was great and we had so much fun. The tour selection took us through parks, reserves and conservancy locales. We saw the big 5 and much more. Lions fighting, Hyenas making a chase and ultimate dinner selection, A leopard resting on tree branches, A cheetah stalking and then at rest. Hyena pups and Honbeast babes being birthed. Hippopotamus in the water, Zebra grazing, Elephants crossing rivers en mass. You'd think we hit the National Geographic channel. Great job Bijal. Good deal Goway.customerBram L. Bottfeld

Goway Travel helped us set up a Venice to Athens cruise on Viking and it was fantastic! Our agent (Kimberly) was responsive to all our questions and helpful navigating all the options for excursions, etc. She also gave us a cruise credit we could use while on the ship to help pay for extras. Overall great experience would use Goway again.Stanley

For the past four years, we have travelled to Perth, Australia to visit family. As part of our travels to Perth, we have had stays in Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland. This year, as part of our trip, we are staying in Melbourne and Adelaide. Each year, we have contacted Joanne at Goway to arrange our trip. She has booked all our flights and accommodations. She has been a wonderful source of travel locations within Australia and New Zealand. Joanne has always been very helpful. She checks on the best flights, give us ideas on airplane seat selection and locates great places to stay. She also provides ideas about what we might want to see or do at each location. Every time we contact her she is willing to provide information and answers any questions we may have. She listens to our requests, explains reasons for her suggestions, and answers any concerns we have with patience and understanding. We are so fortunate to have such a helpful, friendly individual as our travel advisor!Bob and Sue

Paul at GoWay made this first GoWay trip a breeze from start to finish! He was very quick to respond and created an incredible itinerary that my clients absolutely loved. From the incredible hotel location to the private tours led by knowledgeable tour guides who show that they love their jobs, it couldn't have gone better. Can't wait to Yesenia Rodriguez

Once again, Goway Travel has provided us with an amazing travel experience, and the customized itinerary prepared by Joanne Palanuik was second to none. She was the main reason that Australia is a "trip of a lifetime" for us. Her attention to detail and recognizing what would make this a special trip for us is noteworthy and much appreciated.Wally

I would recommend GoWay for travel anytime. I had a private tour of India built for me, after I was invited to my friend's wedding. I travelled around northern India with my driver for 10 days. I had a new guide most every day, for the trip, as we went from location to location. Absolutely everything was amazing!! I honestly can't say there was a negative moment in any of it. I felt 100% safe travelling alone with GoWay's experts. My lodgings were excellent and someone was always available for support, if need be. This was one of the best experiences of my life!!! Thank you so much GoWay!!Trudy Buelow
