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.

Allan Birkett at Goway has been an absolute godsend! Over the past year, he has helped me plan numerous vacations—especially honeymoons—and has been an incredible partner every step of the way. He is always quick to respond, patient with my clients' frequent changes, and goes above and beyond to help whenever an issue comes up. His knowledge, professionalism, and dedication make my job as a travel advisor so much easier. I truly appreciate everything Allan does and highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional service. Thank you, Allan, for always being thereBrooke Echols

Our 2-week trip to Normandy, Switzerland and Italy after we disembarked from the Queen Mary 2 in Southampton in mid-May was superb. Michael Keon did an amazing job of putting together highlights for us to see and visit with the short time we had. All the train reservations, private and small group tours and transportations were very well coordinated, on time, and usually exceeded our expectations. Drivers were courteous and knowledgeable. Mike did a wonderful job getting everything coordinated, in spite of our almost “last minute” booking. I booked a month-long trip through GOWAY back in 1989 for Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, and they were superb then. So I tried them again, and found the entire organization to be even better. Mike was quick to respond to any questions that came up regarding booksings and times, regardless of the 6-hour time difference. Just superb! Although we had a nasty experience in Milan, GOWAY was very responsive and saw to our requests and our needs. Again, Michael Keon is the person who coordinated our travel. I will ask for Mike when I travel again with GOWAY. I recommend GOWAY highly. PJ Wheeler

Goway helped plan our two week trip to Peru and they (Virginia in particular) did a great job. The on-site logistics with Condor Travel went very smoothly, and the trip exceeded our expectations overall. They proactively suggested changes to our initial itinerary which were welcomed. I would recommend them and would work with them again in the future.Kate O'Neill

I recently went on an African Safari with my brother-in-law and sister and another couple who I knew. The entire experience was absolutely unbelievable. The complete details were flawlessly coordinated from the transfers to the breathtaking lodges. Our guides Peter showed us Kenya and Maulid Tanzania were very knowledgeable and very sharp eyes for finding the animals. We were able to see the animals up close, learn a lot about the people, birds , vegetation etc. We had several sundowners in the bush really added to a magical experience with beautiful sunsets. I would highly recommend Goway to all my friends, they will not be disappointed. Thank you to Bijal for the excellent African Safari that you put together for us. You were wonderful.Nancy Hay
