Must-Visit Attractions

No trip to Uganda is complete without visiting its iconic attractions. Murchison Falls National Park, with its thunderous waterfalls and diverse wildlife, is a spectacular sight. The cascading waters create picturesque rainbows that captivate both amateur and professional photographers alike. Additionally, Queen Elizabeth National Park is a must; it’s famed for its tree-climbing lions and the scenic Kazinga Channel cruise, where hippos and crocodiles can be observed in their natural habitat.

A Journey Through Culture

Uganda's cultural tapestry is as varied as its topography. From the rhythmic beats of the Buganda Kingdom’s traditional music to the intricate crafts found in the local markets, there is a profound heritage waiting to be explored. Visitors can participate in vibrant ceremonies or visit the Ndere Centre to learn about the diverse ethnic cultures of Uganda through dance and storytelling.

Practical Travel Tips

  • Best Time to Visit: Uganda offers pleasant travel conditions year-round, but the dry seasons from December to February and June to August are ideal for wildlife spotting and trekking.
  • Travel Essentials: Ensure you have a valid visa and your yellow fever vaccination certificate handy upon entry.
  • Local Etiquette: Greeting people with a handshake and accepting offers of food or drink show respect and appreciation.
  • Transportation: Consider hiring a car with a local guide for easier navigation and insightful narratives about the locales.

Culinary Highlights

Culinary exploration is an intimate way to connect with Uganda's soul. Indulge in local favourites such as “Luwombo”, a hearty stew wrapped in banana leaves, or the beloved “Rolex”, a delightful street food combining eggs and vegetables rolled in a chapati. For those with a sweet tooth, the seasonal tropical fruits, including mangoes and pineapples, are heavenly.

The staff at the lodges are all exceptional and really go out of their way to make your stay memorable. In one lodge, the wake up call included him singing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" to me.

This was my second time working with Taha Colombowala, Group Specialist. Our journey to Ghana was top notch! 🇬🇭 The accommodations, curated tours, and coordination with the team on the ground made the this trip quite amazing. Taha was very supportive throughout the entire process. Goway makes me look like a superstar with my clients!! I am already planning new itineraries. Denise Watkins

I booked this trip to Adelaide with Goway, after using them before when we explored the 'big' sites of Australia. This time, we went to Adelaide to go to three of the top wine growing areas for wine tastings. We were a small group of 4 people. It was made better as the vendor used Small Batch Wine Tours for all of our excursions. They were fantastic making us the only travelers on these tours. Matthew, the owner, even adjusted our wineries on the last day to go to different place. This place totally marked off everything we were looking for in wine. Ended up buying a couple of bottles. Between Goway setting it up and Small Batch Wine Tours running the actual tours we had a beautiful and seamless trip. not applicable

Land Package booked was for Bora Bora. The Goway Agent priced out 3 different resorts in the same area. Before making a final decision, she even obtained the menus at the Resort so the clients could decide if they wanted to purchase the 1/2 board meal package. With extreme patience, the agent obtained answers to all of our questions. It was so nice to have this package inclusive of all taxes and resort fees and to have a local agent meet the clients upon their arrival in PPT. EMD

I had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Shalini. From the very first conversation, she was warm, welcoming, and genuinely invested in helping me plan the perfect trip. she took the time to understand what I was looking for, offered thoughtful suggestions, and shared incredibly helpful insights that only someone with deep knowledge and passion for travel could provide. What really stood out was how easy she made everything feel. Every question I had—big or small—was answered with patience and clarity. her recommendations were spot‑on, and I never felt rushed or pressured. Instead, I felt supported, informed, and excited about my plans. If you’re looking for someone who is friendly, attentive, and truly committed to creating a great travel experience, I can’t recommend Shalini highly enough. She turned what could have been a stressful process into something enjoyable and inspiring.enzo r reda

I would like to recognize the outstanding support provided by the Goway Travel team, and especially Yael, during a very challenging situation involving my customers who were stranded in Dubai. From the moment the issue arose, Yael and the team were incredibly supportive, working through multiple options to secure flights and ensure my customers could return home safely. Their persistence, professionalism, and willingness to explore every possible solution made a stressful situation much easier to manage. Throughout the process, communication was clear, timely, and reassuring. It was evident that the team was fully committed to the well-being of the traveler and to resolving the situation as quickly as possible. I truly appreciate the dedication shown by Yael and the Goway Travel team. Their actions reflect a strong commitment to customer care and partnership, and I’m very grateful for the support they provided in getting my customer home safely. Thank you Goway.

Our trip to Asia was fantastic! From the beginning of registration, working with Ameet Duggal, to the actual trip, the service Goway provided was outstanding! Ameet was great to work with. He was kind, professional and answered all my questions whenever they arose. Our guides in all four locations (Hong Kong, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Siem Reap) were all exceptional. All were very well informed, spoke English very well, had a great sense of humor, were always on time, and paid attention to all the details so as to make our trip absolutely problem free and enjoyable. We were picked up at all locations at the airport, and returned there, in a punctual manner. The drivers were great, especially Bros in Siem Reap. All had lots of water for us because is was pretty hot everywhere we went. Food was wonderful and all the sites we visited were interesting and beautiful. I was especially impressed with how our guides knew how and when to navigate certain sites to avoid large crowds. They situated our visits so we would avoid the intense heat. All in all, I would definitely consider doing another independent tour with Goway. I would also recommend your services to anyone who wished to travel abroad, especially to Asia! Jamie Ferbezar

I had the pleasure of working with Erin. It was my first time booking something in Europe and let me tell you Erin made everything easy and very simple for us to follow. She booked everything for us from our plane tickets private transfers and all of our tours that we did in Ireland. She nailed it. I would definitely recommend booking with GoAway travel and if you have Erin as your travel agent she make sure everything is covered. 10 out of 10. Ness Hedge

The organization for this trip was outstanding, everything went really smoothly. Really nice hotels and great tours and guides. GoWay chose beautiful places for me to see and things to do, jet boat rides, a cruise on Milford Sound, numerous beautiful hikes. I don't think I could have planned all this alone. Great job!
