Victoria Falls: A Natural Wonder

No trip to Zambia is complete without witnessing the sheer power of Victoria Falls, one of the most spectacular sights on Earth. Known locally as "Mosi-oa-Tunya" or "The Smoke that Thunders," this awe-inspiring waterfall captivates with its breathtaking beauty and roaring presence. Visitors can enjoy a range of activities from thrilling helicopter rides that provide panoramic views to daring walks across the Knife-Edge Bridge. For those seeking more relaxed pursuits, the surrounding rainforest offers serene hiking trails rich with exotic flora and fauna.

Enriching Cultural Encounters

Beyond its natural splendour, Zambia is a nation rich in cultural heritage. Engaging with the local communities provides a glimpse into the country's vibrant traditions and customs. Participating in events or visiting traditional villages allows travellers to experience the warmth and hospitality that Zambian culture is renowned for. The annual Kuomboka and N'cwala ceremonies are must-see things in Zambia, showcasing captivating dance, music, and storytelling that have been passed down through generations.

Safari Adventures in Zambia

Zambia is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, offering some of the most pristine and unspoiled safari experiences in Africa. The South Luangwa National Park, renowned for its walking safaris, provides an intimate encounter with Africa's majestic animals in their natural habitat. Here, amidst the dense bushveld, you might catch sight of lions lazing under acacia trees or elephants trundling across the savannah. The Lower Zambezi National Park, with its dramatic escarpment and meandering river, is another safari hotspot where boat safaris provide a unique vantage point to observe the wildlife.

Zambezi River: The Heart of Adventure

For adrenaline seekers, the Zambezi River offers thrilling adventures sure to satisfy even the most daring adventurers. White-water rafting through swirling rapids delivers an exhilarating rush, while canoeing provides a peaceful escape, allowing paddlers to glide silently through waters teeming with hippos and colourful birds. These activities are an integral part of Zambia vacation packages that cater to travellers looking for both excitement and tranquillity.

Culinary Delights and Local Flavours

No journey to Zambia is complete without indulging in its rich culinary landscape. From the hearty nshima to flavour-packed dishes like bream cooked in traditional spices, the local cuisine is a feast for the senses. Many Zambia vacation packages offer experiential dining opportunities, often within the stunning settings of safari lodges where one can savour meals while overlooking the plains or the river.

Kasanka National Park: A Hidden Gem

While many are drawn to Zambia's more famous parks, Kasanka National Park offers an off-the-beaten-path experience that remains etched in the memories of its visitors. Famous for the world’s largest mammal migration of fruit bats, the park becomes a surreal spectacle as millions of bats blanket the sky at dusk. This incredible natural phenomenon is among the top must-see things in Zambia during peak migration season, creating an unforgettable memory for all who witness it.

With its array of thrilling and tranquil experiences, discovering Zambia is akin to stepping into a world of wonder and enchantment. The best travel packages to Zambia seamlessly blend luxury with adventure, cultural immersion with natural wonder, crafting vacations that resonate long after the journey ends. So pack your bags and let the spirit of Zambia guide you on an unforgettable adventure—a land where nature reigns supreme, and every moment is a celebration of its timeless beauty.

Everything was expertly planned, from the drivers to the hotels to the tours to the flights. We particularly enjoyed Hobart and the animal sanctuary, Adelaide and the trip to Kangaroo Island, Melbourne and the evening tour with dinner and drinks, and Sydney with the private boat cruise of the Harbour. We will definitely use Goway again.SARA Wiebe

There were 4 travelers on this trip. All of us were in our late 70's. We started planning this trip 6 months prior to our travel date and had a lot of questions regarding this trip. Our Goway Travel Specialist, Karen Larrota, always answered our questions in a timely and complete manner. We traveled to Quito, Ecuador, the Galapagos, The Sacred Valley in Peru, Machu Picchu, and Cusco in Peru. Not only were the destinations and accommodations excellent, but every tour guide and driver were beyond excellent. The entire trip went smoothly every step of the way, which was amazing given the fact that there were numerous flights and hotels included in our package. We found out that the tour company that Goway used, Condor Travel, checked on us with our guide to make sure we were doing OK which we thought was very nice but also amusing as we are fairly fit older adults. Would also like to mention that we did a cruise thru the Galapagos on the Galapagos Legend which was arranged thru Go Galapagos - Kleintouurs. This portion of our tour was also excellent as were the wildlife guides and staff. We continue to discuss how wonderful this trip was with our family and friends and how wonderful this experience was. Would definately use Goway for our travel needs in the future.Dianne

After spending some time with our agent, we felt that she understood exactly what we had in mind as far as the level of service, etc, we were hoping for. The trip exceeded our expectations. Lori kept us busy(not too busy!) and we had many, many very exciting experiences. Bruce Belshaw

My daughter and I had a wonderful 2 weeks in New Zealand! The country is so beautiful and the people so friendly. Our destination specialist did a great job with planning and organizing the itinerary, choosing our hotels, and organizing transportation. The hotels were absolutely beautiful and we had great views. We felt right at home and found all of the staff to be friendly and accommodating. There were no issues with our itinerary and our excursions we were always on the list. Our transportation was always ready and waiting for us. We want to thank Goway Travel for their hard work and patience with us in planning this trip. Any changes that needed to be made were communicated timely. We also want to thank you for the beautiful weather during the entire 2 weeks it was perfect every day 😀. It was a memorable trip that we will never forget and we will think of Goway when we plan our next adventure. Because it was not just a vacation; it was an adventure!Connie Wenhardt

Brigitta Fuller is Amazing! She was my group coordinator. She understood the assignment and all the nuances I was trying to achieve. The itinerary she curated was fantastic. If you want someone who truly cares about her group and what they are trying to achieve. I will always reach out to Brigitta first for Europe groups. Kathryn Walker

My clients had a wonderful time on their trip to Easter Island. They were very pleased with the Hare Nua Hotel Boutique and especially noted the warmth and hospitality of the hotel staff as well as their excellent breakfasts. Jaime Vargas-Hendandez was an exceptionally gracious and knowledgeable agent, who went out of his way to ensure that my clients had the best possible experience. I will definitely contact him for future bookings and will recommend him to my colleagues.Alethea Kardas
