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 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

Michael Keon arranged our recent trip to Malta. I gave him a rough outline of what we were looking for and he responded quickly making great suggestions, offering alternatives as needed and booking everything. The hotel, excursions and transport he arranged were all exactly what we hoped for. We will be asking Michael to book our future European vacations. Mayssa Mirshak

Our first trip with Goway was a total joy. Shalini worked with me to plan a trip for 5 adults to Portugal. She is a gem! Always responded quickly and offered great suggestions for activities, worked with our preferences and created an ideal itinerary for a week in Porto and Lisbon. The tours were excellent with engaging local guides. The food tour in Lisbon was a highlight. Everything was top notch - flight schedule, hotels, activities, even the weather! Patricia

It is with the utmost pleasure and heartfelt appreciation that I share my exceptional experience working with Taha Colombowala, Goway's distinguished Groups Specialist. Our journey together began in October 2023, when Taha took the helm in orchestrating what was to be a remarkable group trip to Ghana. When unforeseen circumstances necessitated a change in plans, Taha demonstrated his extraordinary expertise by recommending Morocco as an alternative destination — a suggestion that proved to be nothing short of absolutely brilliant! From the very first interaction to the final farewell, Taha has been a consummate professional in every sense of the word. His lightning-fast response times, encyclopedic knowledge of destinations, and remarkable ability to pivot seamlessly under pressure are truly second to none. What sets Taha apart, however, is not only his professional acumen but also his warm, patient, and genuinely enthusiastic attitude toward accommodating the unique needs and personalities of every member of our group. Taha Colombowala is, without question, a shining star within the Goway family, and an extraordinary ambassador for everything the brand represents. I cannot recommend him highly enough — he has exceeded every expectation and then some. Working with Taha has been an absolute privilege, and I look forward to many more incredible adventures ahead!DESIREE DUCKETT

We recently completed a custom Vietnam tour organized by Goway, and it was everything we asked for and more. We would definitely choose Goway again. The true highlights of our trip, however, were our two guides: Vu Dang and Thien. They truly made our experience unforgettable. Both were incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and kind. Their pride in their Vietnamese heritage shone through in every conversation, making our learning experience both deep and engaging. We learned so much in such a short time, and it was always fascinating. I would highly recommend these two guides to anyone visiting Vietnam!Laura Derbyshire

Everything was expertly planned, from the drivers to the hotels to the tours to the flights. We particularly enjoyed Hobart and the animal sanctuary, Adelaide and the trip to Kangaroo Island, Melbourne and the evening tour with dinner and drinks, and Sydney with the private boat cruise of the Harbour. We will definitely use Goway again.SARA Wiebe

There were 4 travelers on this trip. All of us were in our late 70's. We started planning this trip 6 months prior to our travel date and had a lot of questions regarding this trip. Our Goway Travel Specialist, Karen Larrota, always answered our questions in a timely and complete manner. We traveled to Quito, Ecuador, the Galapagos, The Sacred Valley in Peru, Machu Picchu, and Cusco in Peru. Not only were the destinations and accommodations excellent, but every tour guide and driver were beyond excellent. The entire trip went smoothly every step of the way, which was amazing given the fact that there were numerous flights and hotels included in our package. We found out that the tour company that Goway used, Condor Travel, checked on us with our guide to make sure we were doing OK which we thought was very nice but also amusing as we are fairly fit older adults. Would also like to mention that we did a cruise thru the Galapagos on the Galapagos Legend which was arranged thru Go Galapagos - Kleintouurs. This portion of our tour was also excellent as were the wildlife guides and staff. We continue to discuss how wonderful this trip was with our family and friends and how wonderful this experience was. Would definately use Goway for our travel needs in the future.Dianne
