Discover the Untamed Beauty of Zambia

Zambia is graced with some of the world’s most spectacular natural wonders, making it a haven for those on the hunt for adventure. The mighty Victoria Falls, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya or 'The Smoke That Thunders', is a sight to behold. Straddling the border with Zimbabwe, these breathtaking falls demonstrate nature’s raw power and beauty. Imagine crafting your custom travel packages to Zambia that include witnessing this marvel up close and even enjoying a heart-stopping bungee jump off the Victoria Falls Bridge!

Engage in Thrilling Safari Experiences

The allure of Zambia is not complete without its legendary safaris. Tours of Zambia’s untamed wilderness allow travellers to immerse themselves in the untouched beauty of its national parks. South Luangwa National Park, renowned for its walking safaris, offers an intimate exploration of nature, where you can observe an array of wildlife including elephants, giraffes, and the elusive leopards in their natural habitat.

Cultural Encounters and Traditions

Zambia is not just about wild landscapes; it’s also a rich cultural tapestry. With over 70 ethnic groups, the country is a mosaic of traditions and cultures waiting to be discovered. During your personalized trip, engage with local communities and experience traditional ceremonies like the Kuomboka, a fascinating event symbolizing the movement of the Lozi King from the flood plains to higher land. Such experiences are the essence of custom travel packages to Zambia, where your understanding of the world deepens as you witness age-old traditions still vibrant today.

Savour the Flavours of Zambia

A culinary journey through Zambia is a feast for the senses. Delight in local flavours like nshima, a staple made from maize flour, often accompanied by delectable relishes such as stews or vegetables. Markets in Lusaka and Livingstone bustle with the aroma of grilling meat and fresh produce, offering an authentic taste of Zambian cuisine. Customized travel packages allow you to explore these sensory delights, perhaps even incorporating cooking classes where you can learn to prepare traditional Zambian dishes.

Practical Tips for Travelling in Zambia

When planning tours of Zambia, keep a few practical tips in mind to ensure a smooth journey. The best time to visit is during the dry season, from May to October, when wildlife sightings are most frequent, and the weather is comfortably cool. Ensure your travel plans include visits to top sites, but also leave room for spontaneous adventures; Zambia is a country that delights in the unexpected.

Consult with a knowledgeable travel advisor to create tailored travel experiences, focusing on safety and the ability to engage deeply with Zambia’s many wonders. Consider custom vacation packages to Zambia that focus not only on the iconic but also the lesser-known gems that make Zambia an adventurer's dream destination.

Explore, Experience, and Engage

Embarking on a journey through Zambia is not just a vacation; it’s an exploration of life itself. From the thunderous roar of Victoria Falls to the tranquillity of a sunset over the savannah, each experience leaves a lasting impression. So, let your wanderlust lead you to Zambia, where custom travel packages allow you to explore the unseen, experience the extraordinary, and engage with the world in a way that standard tours simply cannot offer.

Your adventure is waiting. Plan your personalized journey and discover what it truly means to explore Zambia.

Compared to some other African safari destinations like Kenya or South Africa, Zambia offers a more off-the-beaten-path, less commercialized experience. Its a hidden treasure.

We decided to go to France for 3 weeks in September and knew we needed help planning the trip (we made this decision in August so a very short time frame. We had traveled with Goway a few years ago and were hoping they could help. Our specialist, Farnaz Bagheri, was fantastic, she listened to what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go. She literally arranged everything with her French partners. The guides and drivers were wonderful the accommodations were excellent. Communication was easy from the first discussion to the time we got home. Farnaz planned for us an exceptional trip in a very short time frame. Promise next trip we will contact Goway much earlier. Thanks againSue Blake

As a travel advisor, I recently booked a group of clients on a Goway tour in China following their paddleboat competition, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Christine and Tanya in the groups department were incredibly helpful and made the entire process seamless. Their support was greatly appreciated! The feedback from my clients was overwhelmingly positive, with particular praise for the local tour guides, who helped make the trip so memorable. Everyone had a wonderful time. Thank you, Christine, Tanya, and the Goway team, for taking such great care of my clients. I would happily recommend Goway and look forward to working with them again!customer

I wanna start off by saying that Farnaz our agent was excellent!!! she planned the whole experience from start to finish. We did not have to worry about one thing the entire trip. All the hotels were great. Our transfers from hotels to fairies to airports were all available and always on time. The excursions she planned for us were all top-notch. I was a little skeptical, but just finding GOWAY online stumbling across it. But I’m so glad I made the choice to use them. I hope they definitely using the company again and especially our agent Farnaz!!! Thank you do mych for a wonderful experience! Catherine

Our goal for this trip was a stress free honeymoon where we did not have to think about anything! Goway made that successful. Everything was planned and ready for us. We just had to show up. Brooke recommended fantastic accommodations that were in great locations, clean and comfortable. The tours were took with Thompson's Africa were incredible as well. Brooke was helpful throughout the entire booking process & we wouldn't have had such an incredible experience without her. We really loved our South African holiday and hope to travel there or other locations again with Goway.Taylor

October 9, 2026, was our 50th wedding anniversary. To celebrate, I wanted to take my bride to Europe for 50 days. Also, other than the flight over, I wanted to make the trip by train. I contacted Farnaz at Goway. The trip we planned ultimately extended to 60 days. It was absolutely flawless. We had great hotels, great tours. Even though this trip was complex and had a lot of moving parts, there were no problems. Farnaz and the folks at Goway done a great job. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them on any future tripsDaniel Graff

We had a fabulous Croatia vacation with a cruise from Dubrovnik to Split, followed by land tours on Split and Opatija. Lodging was always comfortable and conveniently located. Tours and activities were perfectly suited to our interests. We have used GoWay for 2 vacations and are currently working on another. Karen
