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.

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.

Ngorongoro and Serengeti National Park are simply spectacular. There’s no place quite like the massive crater or the migration-covered plains.

Touching base after our trip. As usual you did a great job helping plan and execute an amazing travel experience!! Everything was fantastic. Especially our hotel location. Since it's connected to the Victoria station it made getting around very easy. Thanks again for your help I'm sure we'll be booking our next trip soon...Leigh Ferris

We recently completed a trip to Crete, Greece - our third trip with GoWay - and I have run out of superlatives to laud their efforts. This was a self drive trip, and as has been our experience with GoWay, we were permitted to customize the standard offered itinerary to suit our personal preferences. Brooke, our agent on this trip, went the extra mile to make all the adjustments we requested, including providing for an English-speaking guide at the Phaistos archeological site. The hotels which Brooke booked on our behalf were truly excellent, and - again, per our wish - just outside of the urban chaos of Heraklion, Rethymno and Chania, but close enough to readily access the cities' benefits. Each hotel was a beachside sanctuary, and we spent several serene, idyllic days never leaving the hotel, and yet there was plenty of time for more distant and adventurous sight seeing. I cannot overstate how happy we have been with our GoWay experiences - most notably in their willingness to listen to our preferences and make those manifest in the itinerary - and this most recent trip just confirms our already positive opinion of GoWay, and we will be certain to consider them again for our next travel adventure.Frank Venuti

Venessa Lloyd at GoWay organized a trip to Africa for us- We just returned last week. It was very well organized and included everything we requested, and more. We did two safaris - one in Tanzania and one in South Africa. They were both excellent, with first class accommodations and guides. We absolutely would recommend GoWay and Vanessa to anyone. Sandra

Overall, the hotel and tours were amazing. We had issues with communicating with the driver. At times I was asked where, I was gone. The local company handled the situation and there were minor issues after. I would recommend a local English-speaking guide every day. My clients loved the trip. The area we stayed in had many restaurants and local markets nearby. I recommend the cooking class, flamenco dance show, wine tasting and taps tour, and the city tour. Jolynn Tizeno

Ani M was absolutely amazing to work with! I actually chose Goway for our group trip because of her recommendations. She was the only agent who took the time to explain that we really needed to split our travels into two separate trips if we wanted to experience everything on our wish list, and I really appreciated her honesty and guidance. Throughout the planning process, Ani was incredibly helpful and answered ALL of my questions, even when I asked the same ones more than once! She was patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. I enjoyed working with her and her team so much that I already have another group trip planned with her, and I expect we'll be planning another one soon! The guides during our Scotland trip were wonderful as well. Ian Short was the BEST! He was professional, knowledgeable, and made sure everything ran smoothly so we could simply enjoy the experience. He even worked in sightseeing stops we didn't know we needed to see, and those little extras made the trip even better. The entire experience was absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. I'm already looking forward to our next adventure to Ireland with Goway and working with Ani and their team again!Angela Butler

We recently traveled to Portugal and had the most wonderful experience. As our first venture overseas, we decided to search online for travel assistance. We happened across Goway Travel and are so glad we did! Michael Keon, our Destination Specialist, is extremely proficient and knowledgeable in his profession. "Thorough" is an understatement. He assisted every step of the way from the moment we stepped on our flights, transfer arrangements, hotel accommodations, train travel and multiple tours/outings tailored to our specific needs/wish list. He provided unparalleled guidance and support during the planning process and was always available to discuss any questions/concerns. His communications were always prompt and concise. Without a doubt, our best trip to date...there will be no hesitation to contact Mr. Keon for future travels. Joanna Lynn Mays Michael Andrew Mays Joanna Mays

What made this experience great was Cedric Wai. Had a client going to Asia and this is Cedric's wheelhouse since he is from there. Everything was wonderful. Everything went smoothly. The individual tours were wonderful and all the guides were exceptional. A lot of traveling-the flight was very good on Cathay Pacific would highly recommend their airline seats were comfortable and spaced well. Being on an airplane for 16 hours sucks in general, but other than being a little sore from being stuck in one place all was good. Thank you so much for all your help and the trip was wonderful and everything that it should be! Next trip will be much more relaxing, sitting still for a while on a beach somewhere ha ha!Careen Sullivan
