Explore the Rich Heritage of Great Zimbabwe

The ancient city of Great Zimbabwe offers a glimpse into the country’s storied past. As the capital of the Kingdom of Zimbabwe in the Late Iron Age, this site was once the centre of power and trade in Southern Africa. Its impressive stone ruins, which were built without mortar, demonstrate an architectural mastery that continues to intrigue archaeologists and historians alike.

Visitors can wander through these magnificent stone structures and immerse themselves in the tales of a civilization that flourished between the 11th and 15th centuries. Whether you're a history buff or simply curious, exploring the Great Zimbabwe ruins is an indispensable experience on your best Zimbabwe tours.

Home to one of the largest elephant populations in the world, the park offers an authentic African wildlife experience. Visitors can expect to see a plethora of animals including lions, leopards, cheetahs, and various antelope species while guided by expert rangers who bring the bush to life with their knowledge and stories.

Opt for game drives at sunrise or sunset to capture the magical light filtering through the trees and illuminating the plains. With dedicated Zimbabwe vacation packages focusing on wildlife exploration, these safaris cater to both seasoned and novice adventurers.

Immerse in Local Culture and Cuisine

Zimbabwe’s rich cultural tapestry is woven from a blend of indigenous traditions and colonial influences. Visitors can experience a vibrant mix of music, dance, and art that reflects the country's history and heritage. A visit to a local village offers an authentic insight into everyday life, with opportunities to participate in traditional ceremonies or workshops to learn about local crafts.

I just returned from escorting 34 people to China with four stops. We had hotels, local guides and extensive daily sightseeing. We had flights and we had high speed rail. There were numerous components that could have gone wrong but did not. I would like to highly recommend local guide Yoyo in Shanghai as well as Kevin in Xian. Two of the best guides I have ever had anywhere in the world. Suzette Castro and her team at the Goway Group Department did an excellent job helping me put this together. I was demanding, they were totally cooperative. It went well. I will be back. Amy Fink, CTC at Blue Ribbon Travel ArrangementsAmy in San Bruno, CA

I was looking at a month holiday in New Zealand and Australia and Natasa Jaric who is located in the Toronto area helped to make it happened by combining 2 already designed holidays in Oceania. From the beginning to the end, Natasa was "hands on" by explaining and providing everything I needed for our trip. During our trip, there were few bumps on the road that had nothing to do with Goway Travel as it was the airline company that cancelled our scheduled flight and created chaos. And the other problems (they were light) was because of the way hotels described their rooms. It should definitely be better worded! Db to me means double bed ... what does it mean to you? ;-) Anyhow, we ended up having two beds but with some arguments at one hotel only. The others accommodated us at no extra cost. I should also add that NZ and Aus. know how to treat tourists. I was particularly impressed with the transfers services offered by different companies both in NZ and Aus. Wow! No waiting at the airports, hotels or terminals. They were there ready to pick us up and drive us where ever we needed to be! Well done!!! It's the kind of service that I will have a hard time not to use again as it comes with a $ sign but definitely worth spending it! :-). I received a very good response from the "Help office" when the flight was cancelled and other inquiries I had made. Very good service once again. I live quite a few experiences during that month and all thanks need to go to Natasa and her team. So Natasa: Thank you very very much for a very well organized travel! Carole Ouellet

This was my first time planning a tour wth Goway Travel. I am truly delighted with the professionalism and personal relationship I had with the Goway Travel consultant Christine. She gave attention to every details I requested to curate my tour to Hong Kong and Bali. She addressed all my needs, answered thoroughly my questions and concerns. She is a touch of class in every respect. I will definitely recommend Goway Travel group. Excellent Hotels. Perfect guides in both countries. LE Asia Tour

Ingrid did a phenomenal job creating a 22 day trip beginning in with 3 days in Turkey, that included a Turkish Bath and a private tour of the mosques, we then took a 10 day cruise through the Mediterranean, Greece, Croatia, plus a couple of other stops. We got off the cruise in Ravenna Italy our transportation was spot on picking us up (I would have to stay all of our transportation was impressive, always there, on time, very helpful) we traveled from Ravenna to Venice where we stayed for two nights. Venice is the only place we had a hiccup, we weren't sure if someone was meeting us at our Hotel to take us to the water taxi to get to the train station, we figured it out, made the train and all was good. Traveled to Florence, had the best time there with one of our most favorite excusions, stayed in Florence for two nights and then completed our trip with three nights in Rome. Rome is BUSY, I was not prepared for that but should of expected it. This is our second big trip planning through Goway Travel, I can not recommend enough, they are so detailed and take care of everything you need and everything you didn't know you needed.
