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.

Bijal and Martin (tour guide in Kenya) made this the trip of a lifetime. I felt safe every minute of the trip. I did not care for the travel from the Serengeti to Ngorogoro Crater. I felt the last hotel was too far from the crater i was exhausted not wanted to travel to the crater. The travel was absolutely brutal for 6 hoursKathie Becker

Our safari in Tanzania was excellent. Brooke Theron, our Goway representative, was easy to work with, responsive and knowledgeable. Our guide in Tanzania, Anwar Razak, was outstanding. His knowledge and his driving ability was impressive. He was also engaging. We enjoyed our time with Anwar. The camps that Goway recommended were comfortable, welcoming and surprisingly luxurious while capturing the essence of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We had a wonderful trip. Jack B.

I am so happy to use Goway for my tour experience while visiting Vietnam during Oct 15 through October 29, 2026. We had 3 very good, thoughtful, and caring guides in Hanoi, Danang, and Ho Chi Minh City. They were very knowledgeable for each of their respective areas. they all fulfilled every part of our itinerary. I wish to give an extra acknowledgment to my guide in Danang and Hoi An. Mr. Phung Van Hung was very friendly and caring for me. During my stay in Hoi An, I became sick and required a visit to the local hospital in Hoi An. I contacted Mr. Phung, and he graciously offered to take me and stay with me to interpret during my visit for medical care even though he was not working that day. I really appreciate his extra above and beyond service he provided. I really must let Goway know, he is a wonderful guide!George C.

Suzzette and her team provided exceptional support throughout our year‑long planning process for our Bali group. Despite multiple changes, updates, and last‑minute cancellations, she remained organized, responsive, and solution‑focused. Asia Trails Indonesia delivered a seamless experience from arrival to departure, and our guides, Dayu and Adit, were outstanding; prompt, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. The coordination across multiple departure cities, the curated excursions, and the overall flow of the itinerary were executed beautifully. My group thoroughly enjoyed the trip and is already asking about returning. I highly recommend Suzzette as a group coordinator for her professionalism, dedication, and high‑quality service.Anchored Memories Travel

Mike K. graciously provided us with a perfect itinerary, offering us flexible high quality options for our trip. We added in a few complex details and he maneuvered around them creating smooth transitions. Planning an overseas 11 day trip can be overwhelming and Mike made everything feel easy. I highly recommend!Amy Challgren

Goway staff was available to us throughout our entire trip to Costa Rica. Their involvement was seamless and surprisingly smooth between them and all of our hotels and tours. We have been totally impressed with their involvement with our travel agent and their complete resolution of the only problem we had during the 2 different international trips that we have taken.Diana McCrory

Thank you to Goway for a great and enjoyable 7 day tour in China, for our Canadian group of 14! Very special thanks to the local guides in Shanghai, Xi’an and Beijing ( Richard, Richard and James) who were second to none! Each was a knowledgeable ambassador for their home city, working hard to ensure our enjoyment and comfort, and to showcase the beauty of each area and its current and historical sites. They very kindly and patiently assisted everyone, and especially accommodated 2 of our group who encountered unexpected wellness challenges. The local bus drivers for our group were experts too, keeping us on time and safe on the roads and highways. Hotels were beautiful, welcoming, well located and appointed, quiet, comfortable and clean. Additional travel arrangements by air and high speed train went off without a hitch. KATHLEEN LLOYD

This was the first time we used Goway Travel and Brooke Theron was absolutely the best to deal with. Our safari in Africa was fabulous and we were able to have all four questions answered before we left. It was a trip to remember and we would recommend both Brooke and Goway to other who are looking for a great experience. Thanks Brooke and Goway.Joyce Robinson
