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.

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

The most amazing experience with Goway!! Phoebe did an amazing job planing the best trip to Paris, Florence and Venice with a great mix of relaxing and adventure days. 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
