“wanted to extend my sincere thanks for…”
wanted to extend my sincere thanks for the truly extraordinary experience you created for us on our Africa trip.
From start to finish, everything felt seamless, allowing us to relax and fully immerse ourselves in each destination. Throughout the journey, we consistently felt safe, supported, and incredibly well cared for something we deeply appreciated.
One of the most unforgettable highlights was our gorilla trekking experience. Spending time observing the gorilla family was nothing short of magical and deeply moving. We are also so grateful for our guide, Alexis. He added the adventure of visiting the Dian Fossey Campus. That experience added such depth and meaning to our time in Rwanda and made an already once-in-a-lifetime encounter even more special.
In Kenya, our guide Alex was absolutely exceptional. His knowledge, patience, and enthusiasm truly elevated our safari experience. He went above and beyond — offering additional experiences, sharing fascinating insights, and making tremendous efforts to help us see every animal on our bucket list. His passion for wildlife and culture was contagious, and we learned so much because of him.
We returned home inspired, filled with incredible memories, and with a strong desire to share our experience with family and friends. We are already encouraging others to embark on what is truly a once-in-a-lifetime journey.
Thank you again for your care, expertise, and attention to every detail. The trip exceeded all expectations, and we are incredibly grateful.
Jules“Helpful and responsive”
I enjoyed working with Heshan to plan my clients' trip to Qatar. He was helpful and responsive. My clients had a great time and were pleased with their transfers, hotels, and tour.
Terri W.“Ghana is a Go! Loved everything”
I am writing to let you know that my clients returned from their journey and gave glowing reports about the accommodations, tours, and staff. They particularly liked Vivian, their tour guide. Not only was she thoroughly knowledgeable and astute, she was a genuinely great human being, and between her and their excellent driver, made their first time visit one of their best trips.
Janet Ryder“A wonderful experience. ”
This was my first time working with GoWay. We had a group go to South Africa. Taha put together a fabulous trip for us. The whole experience from start to finish was fantastic. The activities Taha put together as well as everyone we worked with in South Africa was top notch. I'm already planning another trip with Taha.
Donna Langley“Working with Goway was a great…”
Working with Goway was a great experience! The rep I worked with was so patient with me as I figured out a new destination (Kenya & Zanzibar). My clients were very pleased with everything that was put together for them and they said they had the time of their lives!
Jessica“Discover Ghana with Goway Groups”
I am a travel agent and escorted a group to Ghana. We had a fabulous time! Goway made it so easy and the process was seamless - from itinerary building, booking, and all the fine details! Keren Samuels at Goway Groups was phenomenal, responsive to all questions, and very supportive! We will definitely be planning another trip with her to Africa!
berlinda bowdwin“A Joyous Journey Through South Africa ”
We booked our journey from Dubai to South Africa with Alice Teramoto, a destination specialist with Goway.
Alice ensured that we were booked for all of the extras we wanted and organized a fantastic trip for us to enjoy!
The local company that we worked with while there (Thompsons) was highly responsive and super helpful.
Alice made great suggestions and kept us well informed & organized.
It was an easy process for us and everything worked out well.
The group size was perfect, the accommodations were awesome and all local guides were excellent!
Patricia Palmer“This was my first time international…”
This was my first time international trip to Ghana with Gowey Travel. My agent, Vanessa Lloyd was exceptional!! When I arrived at Ghana, everything was ready for me with excellent customer service. She planned this trip so well without missing any details being left out. Thank you so much Vanessa!!
customer“Outstanding travel adventure”
We have used Goway for several trips now. Our most recent trip was a trip to Africa with a safari focus. We know we can trust them will all the details. Once we described what kind of experience we wanted, they helped to ensure it was the best possible.
Our agent Alice is always there for any questions pre-departure and during our travel time. All transfers were in place from getting from point A to B.
All of the tour guides were very professional and very knowledgeable. We know we are in good hands with Goway and highly recommend.
Cindy Horvath“I was skeptical about using Goway…”
I was skeptical about using Goway travel but the trip was flawless. Brooke Theron took care of every detail and was with me from start to finish. Hotels were beautiful, tours were magical. Small groups with door to door service. I will definitely be booking our next trip through Goway travel. Thanks Brooke!
Heather dTravel Information about Tanzania
Get to know Tanzania before you go.
Best Time To Visit
Tanzania’s seasons shape the rhythm of its wildlife and offer different rewards depending on when you go. The dry months from June to September are prime for safaris—clear skies, open landscapes, and animals gathering at waterholes. It’s also the best time to witness the dramatic river crossings during the Great Migration.
April and May bring rain but also fewer crowds and green, photogenic backdrops. For those looking to combine beach and bush, December to February offers warm weather and lively wildlife sightings, especially during the calving season in the Southern Serengeti.
For a detailed month-by-month breakdown of safari highlights and coastal escapes, check out our guide on the best time to visit Tanzania.
What do the experts say?
An ideal first-time itinerary starts in Arusha and ends in Zanzibar. To maximize time, “Sky Safari” packages using small aircraft to fly guests directly between lodges offer breathtaking aerial views of Tanzania’s diverse landscapes as well as convenience.
The people and wildlife are amazing. You always feel safe at the tented camps, even knowing animals are around. The locals treat you with such warmth and respect.
We provide local experiences, manage client expectations, and work with trusted suppliers so travelers feel safe and enjoy every moment of their trip
Ngorongoro and Serengeti National Park are simply spectacular. There’s no place quite like the massive crater or the migration-covered plains.
Tanzania’s hospitality is incredible. You’ll always feel welcomed, wherever you go

How many days is enough in Tanzania?
Plan on 10 to 14 days to explore the northern safari circuit—including Tarangire (famous for its elephant sightings), the Ngorongoro Crater (a wildlife-rich area dubbed the eighth wonder of the world) and the Serengeti—plus spend time on the coast. “An ideal first-time itinerary starts in Arusha and ends in Zanzibar,” says Destination Specialist Kelley Cleaveland.
