The Magic of Tanzania Safaris

When we speak of Tanzania private tours, the mind immediately conjures images of the vast Serengeti, where the thunder of hooves during the Great Migration is a sight to behold. Opt for a private safari to experience undisturbed moments in nature, witnessing majestic lions, graceful giraffes, and herds of elephants.

Among the sprawling savannahs, the Ngorongoro Crater stands out as an oasis of wildlife diversity. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is perfect for intimate wildlife encounters away from the more crowded paths.

Cultural Encounters

Private experiences in Tanzania are not limited to its natural wonders. Immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of the Maasai people by visiting their traditional villages. Learn about their customs, dress, and dance, offering a unique perspective on the lifestyle of one of Africa’s most intriguing tribes.

Another cultural gem lies in Stone Town, Zanzibar. Its narrow alleys and bustling markets resonate with the history of the Indian Ocean trade, where Arabic, Indian, and European influences have left a rich architectural tapestry.

Beach Escapes and Island Adventures

After the thrill of safaris and cultural tours, Tanzanian beaches offer the perfect retreat. The white sandy shores and turquoise waters of Zanzibar and Pemba Island are arguably the most idyllic relaxation spots in East Africa. Consider a luxury beach stay as part of your Tanzania vacation packages for complete serenity.

For the adventurous, snorkelling and diving in the coral reefs surrounding these islands can reveal a vibrant underwater world teeming with life.

The Peaks of Kilimanjaro

No trip to Tanzania is complete without a nod to Mount Kilimanjaro. Ambitious trekkers can attempt the summit of the world’s tallest free-standing mountain, while others may enjoy the lush foothills where coffee plantations flourish. Private guides ensure a tailored experience, adapting the climb to your pace and interests.

Culinary Delights

Tanzania's culinary scene is a mosaic of flavours influenced by its diverse cultures and geography. From the aromatic spices of Zanzibari dishes to the hearty stews enjoyed inland, every meal is an invitation to explore. Don’t miss out on a private food tour, sampling Swahili cuisine that blends African, Arab, and Indian influences.

Practical Travel Tips

  • Best Time to Visit: For wildlife enthusiasts, the dry season from June to October is ideal for safaris.
  • Travel Comfort: Opt for Tanzania vacation packages that include private transfers, ensuring both comfort and convenience.
  • Respectful Touring: Remember to dress modestly, especially in culturally sensitive areas, to show respect and gratitude to local communities.

Tanzania promises an extraordinary journey, blending the raw beauty of its landscapes with rich cultural narratives. Whether it’s the thrill of a safari, the enchantment of a cultural immersion, or the peaceful splendor of a beach escape, every traveller’s desire is satisfied. Prepare to be transformed by the magic of Tanzania.

I just returned from a wonderful trip to Sweden and Norway. I had the good fortune of working with Michael Keon who helped me plan and customize an interesting and balanced itinerary. All of the logistics went well, flights, transfers, hotels in great locations, travel between destinations, fjord safaris, cruises and guided tours with knowledgeable guides to inform and make the experience even more memorable. Michael was responsive to all of my questions and made it so easy to both prepare for and ultimately enjoy the trip. Looking forward to planning the next one!Gail

Just got back from a fabulous safari holiday in Tanzania. The trip was amazing! Exceeded my expectations. The people, the local team at Sense of Africa, the food, the accommodations (Karibu camps: Elephant Springs+Lion’s Paw and Sametu), the safari from the sky (hot air balloon)… I can keep going. Perfect way to celebrate my 50th bday. Thanks again to Alice Teramoto and Goway for making this happen! Truly a trip of a lifetimeKARISSA CARRASQUILLO

Working with Lisa Dachuk at Goway travel was splendid! She was responsive, careful, thorough and calm in ensuring that our 3-city honeymoon tour was customized to our needs. The ease, adventure, and beauty of the trip as facilitated by her is now a part of our honeymoon memory. Thank you for courteous and professional service! We enjoyed every bit of the trip (including Mt Etna erupting a week or two before our arrival to Catania)! The tours were absolutely excellent and the arrangements were precise to our needs. We would’ve considered (possibly) taking a boat from Malta to Catania, given the flight delays on ITA. YET, even the flight delays were handled with fast acting and professional support from Goway!!Ellen

I have had Melissa Moses plan our trips for us for quite a few years. She always finds interesting sights for us to see, the hotels are always beautiful and everything runs perfectly. Can't wait to get started on the next adventure. Andrea Jones

Just returned from a two week trip to Prague, Vienna and Budapest booked by Michael Keon at Goway This was our second trip booked with Michael Hotels were all excellent, in great locations, transfers to and from airports went without a hitch and train travel was exactly as planned. As we worked through all the details of planning the trip, he responded to lib questions promptly, making finalizing the trip very easy I would highly recommend him as a travel agent, and we will be using him again Kevin Bourke

Katie's knowledge and support were the primary reason the trip worked so well. Everything went smoothly, and the vacation could not have been any better. The hotels were wonderful, the two tours we took went well, and there were no issues with flights or transfers. GERAR

We have used Goway Travel previously, and they are the best. Our travel specialist, Shalini Thakur, designed our trip to Italy exactly the way we wanted. They make traveling so low-stress. The itinerary is very detailed, giving you plenty of time to review prior to your trip. We have drivers that meet us at the airport and take us to and from all stops on our trip. No dealing with trains and buses and taxis and dragging your luggage all over. They have great local guides for excursions, most in small groups of 10 or less. The trip is so much more meaningful with a knowledgeable guide to explain the history. Our accommodations are always centrally located to our excursions, most of the time we are picked up at our hotel. We like to keep busy on our trips, but Goway always plans a great balance that gives us time to rest a little after late nights or long days, so you don't get exhausted, which is nice as we are all in our late 60's. Although we have never needed to use it, it gives peace of mind knowing Goway has 24/7 emergency contacts if you need anything. We will definitely be contacting Shalini and Goway for our future trips. David Merrifield

Big shout out to Melissa-Lee and her team at Goway. She crafted a personal adventure through Peru. We gave her our must see places and she nailed it. The team on the ground was exceptional. The guides were all very knowledgeable. The hotels were all chosen carefully and exceeded our expectations. Could not have asked for a better tour. We will definitely use them again.Joanne

I began planning my Italy vacation with Avery more than a year before we traveled, and I want to start by giving her the recognition she deserves. Avery did an exceptional job planning this trip. From the beginning, I had a very clear vision of what I wanted to experience in Italy, and she listened carefully and captured it. The destinations, hotels, tours, transportation and overall flow of the trip were thoughtfully planned. Aside from three specific issues that I will address, everything came together extremely well. One of the things I appreciated most was the attention to logistics. The hotels were conveniently located, our tour meeting points were generally close to our accommodations, and the routing between cities made sense. Those details may seem small during the planning process, but once you are actually traveling through multiple cities, they make an enormous difference. I especially appreciated the meet and greet services and arranged transfers because they removed much of the stress that comes with arriving somewhere unfamiliar. I did not have to constantly worry about where to go, how to get there or who I was supposed to meet. I was able to enjoy my vacation instead of managing the logistics of my vacation. The people Avery arranged for us to work with in Italy were also excellent overall. Our drivers, guides and local representatives were professional, pleasant and easy to communicate with. We stayed at five hotels, and with the exception of Dharma Luxury Hotel in Rome, the other four were excellent. I loved them and would not change those selections. From a travel planning perspective, I would give Avery more than five stars. She listened, understood what I wanted and created the Italy experience I had envisioned. I would absolutely work with her again and recommend her to others. There were, however, three specific issues during the trip that I believe deserve attention. These involved the third-party operator used for our Siena, San Gimignano and Chianti tour, our experience at Dharma Luxury Hotel in Rome, and the response from Goway’s emergency travel support. I want to separate these concerns from my experience with Avery because I do not believe they reflect the quality of the work she did planning our vacation. My recommendations are therefore directed toward strengthening the third-party services surrounding the travel experience. I recommend that Goway review the operator used for the Siena, San Gimignano and Chianti tour, reconsider Dharma Luxury Hotel based on the maintenance and customer service issues I experienced and conduct a formal review of its emergency support provider, including whether the response to my request complied with the provider’s contractual service levels. Overall, this was an incredible Italy vacation, and Avery deserves tremendous credit for making it happen. Planning an excellent vacation is important, and she accomplished that. At the same time, what happens when something does not go according to plan is also an important part of the travel experience. The three problems I encountered were specific and identifiable, and addressing those areas would make an already excellent travel planning experience significantly stronger.S Moolah
