With Zambia's five-star travel packages, every traveller is promised comfort, adventure, and a deep dive into nature's wonders.

Experience the Majesty of Victoria Falls

Among the myriad of tours of Zambia, the crown jewel undoubtedly remains the thundering Victoria Falls, locally known as "Mosi-oa-Tunya" or "The Smoke That Thunders." This natural wonder is a mesmerising spectacle of roaring water and misty rainbows—a scene that captivates the senses. Relish a unique perspective of the falls with helicopter tours that provide bird's-eye views, offering a thrilling luxury experience reminiscent of a scene from the "Out of Africa" saga.

Explore Zambia's Lush National Parks

For wildlife enthusiasts, Zambia luxury trips must include a journey through its sprawling national parks. South Luangwa National Park, renowned for its walking safaris, invites guests to experience the thrill of tracking wildlife on foot—a concept pioneered right here. Imagine being at one with nature as you traverse the terrain where lions, leopards, and scores of elephants roam freely. Expert guides ensure each encounter is not only safe but also educational and exhilarating.

Kafue National Park

Venture to Kafue, the country’s largest and oldest national park. Less frequented by tourists, it offers an exclusive retreat into the wild, where open savannahs and lush woodlands paint a backdrop for spotting its famed lions and African wild dogs. Zambia five-star travel packages often include bespoke itineraries to this park, ensuring a private and personalized experience.

Engage with Zambia’s Cultural Richness

Beyond the wildlife, Zambia boasts a rich cultural tapestry. The vibrant traditions and warm hospitality of the Zambian people provide an enriching cultural immersion. Participate in a traditional ceremony or visit local markets to truly appreciate the local way of life. The annual Kuomboka ceremony, a majestic spectacle of royal barge procession along the Zambezi River, is a cultural highlight not to be missed.

Indulge in Five-Star Lodgings

Zambia doesn’t just offer adventures in the wild; it seamlessly combines with the elegance of modern comforts. Luxury accommodations range from serene riverside lodges to opulent safari camps where the attention to detail is remarkable. Consider lodgings that offer infinity pools overlooking the plains and gourmet dinners under the African night sky, enhancing the allure of Zambia’s luxury trips.

Exquisite Culinary Experiences

No trip is complete without indulging in the unique flavours of Zambian cuisine. Delight in local dishes such as Nshima, a staple served with an array of relishes, or taste the bream and tilapia fresh from the Zambezi. Luxury packages frequently offer private dining options that blend international culinary styles with local ingredients, ensuring a gourmet experience you’ll savour long after your journey ends.

Uncover Hidden Gems

While most tours spotlight Victoria Falls and the storied national parks, Zambia's hidden gems equally captivate. Lake Kariba, the world’s largest man-made lake, offers tranquil waters perfect for a leisurely houseboat cruise or fishing expedition. Meanwhile, the mystical Mfuwe Lodge’s bush dinners provide a rare dining experience amid the wilderness, often accompanied by curious elephants wandering through the lodge grounds.

Zambia invites you on a journey beyond the ordinary—a haven for adventure seekers, culture lovers, and those yearning for a touch of luxury. The country’s exceptional blend of unspoiled landscapes, rich cultures, and magnificent wildlife makes it an unparalleled African destination. Whether you opt for the accessible comfort of Zambia five-star travel packages or the bespoke freedom of personalized tours of Zambia, this captivating land promises memories that will stay with you forever. Explore more and let Zambia’s wonders unfold before you, offering an unforgettable luxury travel experience.

Brooke Theron has booked 3 trips for us, France and Tunisia in 2025 and we have just returned from a 2 week trip from China. The entire trip was flawless, from the research to the booking Brooke is always soo helpful in whole process. Brooke always works with us to answer any questions and make sure any request we have can be added. Our tour guides James, Helen, Felicity and Keira and drivers were all top notch with lots of information on each stop and sent us onto our next stop with no problems. The hotels, trains and tours were all excellent. We couldn't have asked for more I look forward to working with Brooke and Goway tours on our next vacation.Maddie

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
