Imagine journeying into a realm where nature's grandeur stretches as far as the eye can see, captivating all who dare to tread its anxious trails. Zimbabwe, a jewel in the heart of Southern Africa, awaits with its vibrant culture and stunning landscapes. With custom travel packages to Zimbabwe, you can craft your ideal adventure, blending iconic attractions with immersive local experiences.

Embrace the Wild Beauty

Your excursion in Zimbabwe can begin at the world's grandest waterfall—Victoria Falls. Locally known as Mosi-oa-Tunya, or "The Smoke That Thunders," the falls promise a sensory feast of awe-inspiring sights and deafening roars, whether you're admiring the rainbow-streaked mist or engaging in exhilarating activities like white-water rafting.

Beyond the falls, the Zambezi River offers a serene space to immerse yourself in the melodies of the African wilderness. Opt for custom vacation packages to Zimbabwe to enjoy guided canoeing safaris that reveal the rich tapestry of wildlife along the riverbanks.

Unparalleled Safari Experiences

A trip to Zimbabwe is incomplete without experiencing its untamed wilderness through a safari. Hwange National Park, the country's largest game reserve, boasts an impressive inventory of wildlife including the "Big Five," alongside zebras, giraffes, and a plethora of bird species. Mobile safaris offer an authentic and intimate way to explore these vast landscapes with expert guides who provide insights into the subtleties of the bush and its inhabitants.

The charm of tailor-made Zimbabwe vacation packages lies in their ability to integrate these thrilling wildlife encounters with cultural immersions. This could include an evening spent with the courageous Hwange Anti-Poaching Unit, understanding their vital efforts in wildlife conservation.

Diverse Cultural Encounters

Zimbabwe is a land of warm people and rich traditions. With custom travel packages to Zimbabwe, you'll have the unique opportunity to connect deeply with local communities. Visit villages, partake in traditional cooking classes, or engage in storytelling experiences with elders. Each moment fosters an enriching exchange of cultures, leaving you with a profound appreciation for their ways of life.

Zimbabwe's Historical Treasures

Beyond nature, Zimbabwe's cultural heritage beckons exploration. The Great Zimbabwe Ruins in Masvingo stand as an extraordinary testament to pre-colonial architecture, offering glimpses into the sophisticated society that thrived here in the 11th century. Wander among these ancient stone walls, feeling the echoes of history lingering in the air.

Tantalizing Culinary Journeys

No journey is complete without savouring the local cuisine, a fusion of tastes that mirror Zimbabwe's multicultural essence. Sink your teeth into the traditional dish of “sadza” accompanied by a variety of meats and vegetables. Delight your palate with a tangy “bota” for breakfast, or partake in a shared meal of “nyama” around a campfire in the bush—each dish tells its own story.

Gourmet tours can be woven into your travel itinerary, allowing you to sample wines from the renowned estates of Bulawayo or Harare. The Zimbabwean hospitality is palpable in every meal, making your culinary expedition as fulfilling as the landscapes around you.

Practical Travel Tips

  • Best Time to Visit: The dry season, from May to October, offers optimal wildlife viewing.
  • Travel Documents: Ensure your passport has at least six months' validity, and check visa requirements.
  • Health and Safety: Vaccinations may be recommended, so consult with a travel health clinic. Always prioritize safety by securing travel insurance and adhering to local guidelines.
  • Local Currency: The US dollar is widely accepted, but it's prudent to carry small notes and cash for rural areas.

Embark on Your Dream Journey

The allure of Zimbabwe is timeless, and with the flexibility that custom vacation packages to Zimbabwe offer, every journey is a new story waiting to be written. As you trek through unspoiled parks or stand humbled before ancient ruins, you'll find each moment enriched by your own curiosity and the vivid experiences crafted to your personal tastes. Set forth with an open heart and ready spirit, and let Zimbabwe's wondrous tapestry unfold before you.

Plan your adventure today and uncover the majestic wonders of Zimbabwe, where every path leads to an unforgettable tale.

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.
