Discover the Untamed Beauty of Zambia

Zambia is graced with some of the world’s most spectacular natural wonders, making it a haven for those on the hunt for adventure. The mighty Victoria Falls, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya or 'The Smoke That Thunders', is a sight to behold. Straddling the border with Zimbabwe, these breathtaking falls demonstrate nature’s raw power and beauty. Imagine crafting your custom travel packages to Zambia that include witnessing this marvel up close and even enjoying a heart-stopping bungee jump off the Victoria Falls Bridge!

Engage in Thrilling Safari Experiences

The allure of Zambia is not complete without its legendary safaris. Tours of Zambia’s untamed wilderness allow travellers to immerse themselves in the untouched beauty of its national parks. South Luangwa National Park, renowned for its walking safaris, offers an intimate exploration of nature, where you can observe an array of wildlife including elephants, giraffes, and the elusive leopards in their natural habitat.

Cultural Encounters and Traditions

Zambia is not just about wild landscapes; it’s also a rich cultural tapestry. With over 70 ethnic groups, the country is a mosaic of traditions and cultures waiting to be discovered. During your personalized trip, engage with local communities and experience traditional ceremonies like the Kuomboka, a fascinating event symbolizing the movement of the Lozi King from the flood plains to higher land. Such experiences are the essence of custom travel packages to Zambia, where your understanding of the world deepens as you witness age-old traditions still vibrant today.

Savour the Flavours of Zambia

A culinary journey through Zambia is a feast for the senses. Delight in local flavours like nshima, a staple made from maize flour, often accompanied by delectable relishes such as stews or vegetables. Markets in Lusaka and Livingstone bustle with the aroma of grilling meat and fresh produce, offering an authentic taste of Zambian cuisine. Customized travel packages allow you to explore these sensory delights, perhaps even incorporating cooking classes where you can learn to prepare traditional Zambian dishes.

Practical Tips for Travelling in Zambia

When planning tours of Zambia, keep a few practical tips in mind to ensure a smooth journey. The best time to visit is during the dry season, from May to October, when wildlife sightings are most frequent, and the weather is comfortably cool. Ensure your travel plans include visits to top sites, but also leave room for spontaneous adventures; Zambia is a country that delights in the unexpected.

Consult with a knowledgeable travel advisor to create tailored travel experiences, focusing on safety and the ability to engage deeply with Zambia’s many wonders. Consider custom vacation packages to Zambia that focus not only on the iconic but also the lesser-known gems that make Zambia an adventurer's dream destination.

Explore, Experience, and Engage

Embarking on a journey through Zambia is not just a vacation; it’s an exploration of life itself. From the thunderous roar of Victoria Falls to the tranquillity of a sunset over the savannah, each experience leaves a lasting impression. So, let your wanderlust lead you to Zambia, where custom travel packages allow you to explore the unseen, experience the extraordinary, and engage with the world in a way that standard tours simply cannot offer.

Your adventure is waiting. Plan your personalized journey and discover what it truly means to explore Zambia.

Compared to some other African safari destinations like Kenya or South Africa, Zambia offers a more off-the-beaten-path, less commercialized experience. Its a hidden treasure.

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

Everything was planned perfectly. The excursions were so small and personal. Ask for Mark! I have already planned another trip back to the Oregon wine country with Mark. Claire
