A Journey through Rwanda's Natural Wonders

Embarking on Rwanda private tours reveals the country's stunning natural beauty. Nyungwe Forest National Park, one of Africa's oldest rainforests, is a highlight. As you wander through its dense foliage, you'll encounter a rich diversity of wildlife, including chimpanzees and colobus monkeys. The canopy walk offers a breathtaking perspective, immersing you in the vibrant ecosystem below.

A highlight for many visitors is a trek to see the majestic mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park. Encountering these gentle giants in their natural habitat is a profound experience that leaves an indelible mark on the heart and soul. Accompanied by an expert guide, this private experience in Rwanda provides both educational insights and the thrill of adventure.

Cultural Immersion and Historical Exploration

Beyond its natural allure, Rwanda invites travellers to delve into its rich cultural tapestry. The city of Kigali stands as a beacon of resilience and progress. A visit to the Kigali Genocide Memorial offers a poignant reflection on the past, while the bustling markets showcase the vibrant present. Engage with local artisans and discover the creativity infused into traditional crafts.

For a deeper cultural encounter, venture to the Iby'Iwacu Cultural Village. Here, traditional dances, drumming, and storytelling bring to life the everyday rhythms and rituals of Rwandan life. This immersive experience allows a personal connection with the community, enriching your understanding and appreciation of Rwanda's cultural heritage.

Rwanda's Exquisite Flavours

No Rwanda vacation package is complete without sampling the country's unique cuisine. Savour the rich, earthy flavours of brochettes or taste the spicy tang of akabenz. Rwanda's food scene is a delightful fusion of traditional staples and contemporary twists, offering something for every palate.

Kigali's burgeoning restaurant scene, with establishments like Repub Lounge and The Hut, promises gourmet dining experiences. Enjoy dishes crafted from locally sourced ingredients while taking in panoramic views of the city's rolling hills.

Globetrotters should try to experience The Gorilla Naming Ceremony : Culturally, the naming of an infant is a big affair, and Rwanda has adopted the same cultural event with the New-born Mountain Gorillas, as way to highlight the need to protect these gentle giants that were on the verge of being hunted to extinction.

Rwanda is always a surprise; especially for a 1st time visitor to Africa. The beautiful landscape (hills, mountains and rivers), is accentuated by the clean and organised infrastructure. Being a small country with shorter drives between parks, Rwanda offers superb photography experiences.

While researching suppliers for a clients Thailand honeymoon, I remembered being referred to GoWay by a longterm TA ….because they “get it right and get it done!” I had already started their training modules, so I put in a quote. Immediately, Taylor responded with a very thorough email and we decided to chat. I gave him my specifics and he again responded immediately and matched my client’s travel needs 100%. I found it comforting to speak with a country expert with the knowledge I needed. My clients booked their vacation and are very excited about their itinerary! Thank you Taylor for making this process seamless.Karla B

Will be recommending to other travellers. Always someone available which is great when you are travelling in different time zones.

Our rep at GoWay, Kimberly, was fantastic from start to finish. She came up with the exact itinerary we wanted for Melbourne, Uluru, Cairns and Sydney, and assisted us with both international and domestic flights to help us get the best rates. Once we were on the trip, everything flowed seamlessly and every tour and transport was on time.Lisa Wildes

As a travel agent, this is not the first time I’ve chosen to work with Goway for organizing my clients’ trip, this time to Chile, and once again, the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Throughout the entire process, I could count on truly professional service from Susanna. My clients are very experienced travelers and requested a highly customized itinerary, including many unique experiences that are not typically included in standard tour programs. There were also several occasions when, on behalf of my clients, I requested changes to an already prepared itinerary. Susanna was consistently helpful, patient, understanding, and — just as importantly — incredibly kind and pleasant to work with. It was clear that she genuinely cared about creating the best possible experience for my clients. I’m also certain that much of the work she put in went well beyond standard hours and expectations. My clients returned absolutely delighted with their vacation, which is always the greatest confirmation of a job well done. Thank you, Susanna, for your dedication and exceptional support. And thank you, Goway, for another wonderful experience!Beata

We booked our 3,week tour of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia and overall it was an excellent experience. I typically book my own travel, but travelling with a group and wanting tours in each destination made GoWay a great choice. We had great hotels and good guides in each city. I will say that our standout guide was Romeo Tran in Ho Chi Minh City. We spent a few days in the city, as well as an over night boat ride on the delta, and he was fantastic. We had alot of fun with him, and would highly recommend him in particular. Neil Braun

We booked a Viking cruise (Venice to Athens) through Goway Travel and it was fantastic! Our agent Kimberly was extremely helpful with air travel options, choosing excursions, and suggestions for pre and post cruise activities. Great communications and a really enjoyable experience.Stanley

We booked through Paula Williamson in the Toronto office, a Great Journeys New Zealand trip and it was fantastic! Although I had already scheduled a trip on The Ghan train in Australia, Paula helped me work it all as one huge 45 day trip including Bali Indonesia. My favorite was the New Zealand trip as I’d never been there before and the tour guide Toni was so spectacular and caring. I’m so pleased Goway was involved and I didn’t require any additional assistance once We'd started the first flight March 8. If we do another overseas trip, Goway will be involved.John
