With Zambia's five-star travel packages, every traveller is promised comfort, adventure, and a deep dive into nature's wonders.

Experience the Majesty of Victoria Falls

Among the myriad of tours of Zambia, the crown jewel undoubtedly remains the thundering Victoria Falls, locally known as "Mosi-oa-Tunya" or "The Smoke That Thunders." This natural wonder is a mesmerising spectacle of roaring water and misty rainbows—a scene that captivates the senses. Relish a unique perspective of the falls with helicopter tours that provide bird's-eye views, offering a thrilling luxury experience reminiscent of a scene from the "Out of Africa" saga.

Explore Zambia's Lush National Parks

For wildlife enthusiasts, Zambia luxury trips must include a journey through its sprawling national parks. South Luangwa National Park, renowned for its walking safaris, invites guests to experience the thrill of tracking wildlife on foot—a concept pioneered right here. Imagine being at one with nature as you traverse the terrain where lions, leopards, and scores of elephants roam freely. Expert guides ensure each encounter is not only safe but also educational and exhilarating.

Kafue National Park

Venture to Kafue, the country’s largest and oldest national park. Less frequented by tourists, it offers an exclusive retreat into the wild, where open savannahs and lush woodlands paint a backdrop for spotting its famed lions and African wild dogs. Zambia five-star travel packages often include bespoke itineraries to this park, ensuring a private and personalized experience.

Engage with Zambia’s Cultural Richness

Beyond the wildlife, Zambia boasts a rich cultural tapestry. The vibrant traditions and warm hospitality of the Zambian people provide an enriching cultural immersion. Participate in a traditional ceremony or visit local markets to truly appreciate the local way of life. The annual Kuomboka ceremony, a majestic spectacle of royal barge procession along the Zambezi River, is a cultural highlight not to be missed.

Indulge in Five-Star Lodgings

Zambia doesn’t just offer adventures in the wild; it seamlessly combines with the elegance of modern comforts. Luxury accommodations range from serene riverside lodges to opulent safari camps where the attention to detail is remarkable. Consider lodgings that offer infinity pools overlooking the plains and gourmet dinners under the African night sky, enhancing the allure of Zambia’s luxury trips.

Exquisite Culinary Experiences

No trip is complete without indulging in the unique flavours of Zambian cuisine. Delight in local dishes such as Nshima, a staple served with an array of relishes, or taste the bream and tilapia fresh from the Zambezi. Luxury packages frequently offer private dining options that blend international culinary styles with local ingredients, ensuring a gourmet experience you’ll savour long after your journey ends.

Uncover Hidden Gems

While most tours spotlight Victoria Falls and the storied national parks, Zambia's hidden gems equally captivate. Lake Kariba, the world’s largest man-made lake, offers tranquil waters perfect for a leisurely houseboat cruise or fishing expedition. Meanwhile, the mystical Mfuwe Lodge’s bush dinners provide a rare dining experience amid the wilderness, often accompanied by curious elephants wandering through the lodge grounds.

Zambia invites you on a journey beyond the ordinary—a haven for adventure seekers, culture lovers, and those yearning for a touch of luxury. The country’s exceptional blend of unspoiled landscapes, rich cultures, and magnificent wildlife makes it an unparalleled African destination. Whether you opt for the accessible comfort of Zambia five-star travel packages or the bespoke freedom of personalized tours of Zambia, this captivating land promises memories that will stay with you forever. Explore more and let Zambia’s wonders unfold before you, offering an unforgettable luxury travel experience.

We booked a Goway tour to Botswana and Zimbabwe and it was excellent.  We worked with Brooke, the Goway represntative, to set up the tour and she was an outstanding agent who answered any questions we had very quickly and completely. Her hotel recommendation for the additional night we stayed was pefect.   Goway hires a local tour group, Jenman Safaris, to lead the safari in the 2 countries. The tour itself was amazing...the lodges that we stayed at were very nice and the food was great (except for one lodge's food). The Goway itinerary was slightly different than the actual Jenman Safari itinerary but most of the sites that we went to were the same as listed on the Goway itinerary. I would use Goway again because their choice of a local tour group was very good...nice lodges/camps and good food and knowledgeable tour guides.Ma Fa

Matthew handled my honeymoon couple's very specific African itinerary like a pro! My clients went to four different travel agents who only wanted to send them on safaris. My clients had already done safaris and were specific on what they wanted to do and see. Matthew hit the nail on the head! Highly recommend!Amanda Schott

Jacqueline F. made our trip exceptional. Everything she planned or reserved worked out as it was supposed to. Croatia was amazing and I feel we were able to explore a lot of it because of Jacqueline.Allen

This was the first time we had utilized Goway. We wanted a custom itinerary for a 3 week Italy, Athens and Greek Island adventure. Edwina Brislane was receptive to our goals for the trip, had helpful suggestions and reacted well to our requested revisions. Lisa Dachuk helped "tie a ribbon" on the trip and ensured we had considered all aspects of the experience. Lisa dealt quickly with a couple of requests while on the trip and celebrated a successful trip with us. We enjoyed working with both Edwina and Lisa. Their knowledge and enthusiasm contributed to our very memorable trip.Dan & Gail

I recently traveled to Greece with friends, and our entire experience was exceptional thanks to the planning support we received from Avery at GoWay. Every part of our itinerary was organized with care, accuracy, and great attention to detail. Our accommodations — Hera Hotel Athens and Sofitel Athens Airport — were comfortable, well‑located, and exactly what we needed. All airfares from Calgary and the multiple transfers (airport to city centre, city centre to Piraeus Port, and back again) were perfectly coordinated and made the trip completely stress‑free. The 7‑night Idyllic Aegean Cruise was a major highlight. It was beautifully arranged and gave us an unforgettable way to explore the islands. Our excursions were equally impressive: Skip‑the‑Line Acropolis & Acropolis Museum timed entry, which made sightseeing smooth and efficient Classical Greece: Olympia, Delphi & Meteora, a breathtaking and well‑paced journey through some of Greece’s most iconic historical sites Avery was consistently responsive, knowledgeable, and proactive throughout the planning process. Every confirmation, transfer, and timing detail was handled flawlessly, allowing us to simply enjoy the trip without worrying about logistics. I highly recommend GoWay Travel — and especially Avery — for anyone planning a trip to Greece. This was one of the best travel experiences I’ve had, thanks to their outstanding service and organization.Lorraine
