Imagine journeying into a realm where nature's grandeur stretches as far as the eye can see, captivating all who dare to tread its anxious trails. Zimbabwe, a jewel in the heart of Southern Africa, awaits with its vibrant culture and stunning landscapes. With custom travel packages to Zimbabwe, you can craft your ideal adventure, blending iconic attractions with immersive local experiences.

Embrace the Wild Beauty

Your excursion in Zimbabwe can begin at the world's grandest waterfall—Victoria Falls. Locally known as Mosi-oa-Tunya, or "The Smoke That Thunders," the falls promise a sensory feast of awe-inspiring sights and deafening roars, whether you're admiring the rainbow-streaked mist or engaging in exhilarating activities like white-water rafting.

Beyond the falls, the Zambezi River offers a serene space to immerse yourself in the melodies of the African wilderness. Opt for custom vacation packages to Zimbabwe to enjoy guided canoeing safaris that reveal the rich tapestry of wildlife along the riverbanks.

Unparalleled Safari Experiences

A trip to Zimbabwe is incomplete without experiencing its untamed wilderness through a safari. Hwange National Park, the country's largest game reserve, boasts an impressive inventory of wildlife including the "Big Five," alongside zebras, giraffes, and a plethora of bird species. Mobile safaris offer an authentic and intimate way to explore these vast landscapes with expert guides who provide insights into the subtleties of the bush and its inhabitants.

The charm of tailor-made Zimbabwe vacation packages lies in their ability to integrate these thrilling wildlife encounters with cultural immersions. This could include an evening spent with the courageous Hwange Anti-Poaching Unit, understanding their vital efforts in wildlife conservation.

Diverse Cultural Encounters

Zimbabwe is a land of warm people and rich traditions. With custom travel packages to Zimbabwe, you'll have the unique opportunity to connect deeply with local communities. Visit villages, partake in traditional cooking classes, or engage in storytelling experiences with elders. Each moment fosters an enriching exchange of cultures, leaving you with a profound appreciation for their ways of life.

Zimbabwe's Historical Treasures

Beyond nature, Zimbabwe's cultural heritage beckons exploration. The Great Zimbabwe Ruins in Masvingo stand as an extraordinary testament to pre-colonial architecture, offering glimpses into the sophisticated society that thrived here in the 11th century. Wander among these ancient stone walls, feeling the echoes of history lingering in the air.

Tantalizing Culinary Journeys

No journey is complete without savouring the local cuisine, a fusion of tastes that mirror Zimbabwe's multicultural essence. Sink your teeth into the traditional dish of “sadza” accompanied by a variety of meats and vegetables. Delight your palate with a tangy “bota” for breakfast, or partake in a shared meal of “nyama” around a campfire in the bush—each dish tells its own story.

Gourmet tours can be woven into your travel itinerary, allowing you to sample wines from the renowned estates of Bulawayo or Harare. The Zimbabwean hospitality is palpable in every meal, making your culinary expedition as fulfilling as the landscapes around you.

Practical Travel Tips

  • Best Time to Visit: The dry season, from May to October, offers optimal wildlife viewing.
  • Travel Documents: Ensure your passport has at least six months' validity, and check visa requirements.
  • Health and Safety: Vaccinations may be recommended, so consult with a travel health clinic. Always prioritize safety by securing travel insurance and adhering to local guidelines.
  • Local Currency: The US dollar is widely accepted, but it's prudent to carry small notes and cash for rural areas.

Embark on Your Dream Journey

The allure of Zimbabwe is timeless, and with the flexibility that custom vacation packages to Zimbabwe offer, every journey is a new story waiting to be written. As you trek through unspoiled parks or stand humbled before ancient ruins, you'll find each moment enriched by your own curiosity and the vivid experiences crafted to your personal tastes. Set forth with an open heart and ready spirit, and let Zimbabwe's wondrous tapestry unfold before you.

Plan your adventure today and uncover the majestic wonders of Zimbabwe, where every path leads to an unforgettable tale.

I found this agency when trying to find a trip to New Zealand and Australia. I never heard of them before, so I had to do some research to make sure they were legit. This trip was going to be seemingly more in cost, so I needed to feel everything was going to go as planned and I was not going to be scammed. I had Natasa Jaric as my Specialist. Her and I worked on an itinerary that suited my needs. She is very friendly and knowledgeable. I had back to back tours for three weeks straight, as well as transfers and hopper flights. This was what I wanted, as this was my " One and Done" for this region. My transportation, hotels, tours and flights went as planned. Of course, Mother Nature dictates some plans and one activity was cancelled. I am getting a refund through the agency. Please book with confidence! This company is reputable and delivers on the itinerary. I had the opportunity to review each part of my itinerary with Natasa prior to leaving to make sure all looked correct. My trip was unforgettable!!! Thank you Goway Travel for making this trip so effortless and smooth.Consumer

Goway gave us a magical holiday in Southeast Asia. From the organization of the transportation, guides and drivers, hotels and tours, everything ran like clockwork with quality accommodations, experienced guides and drivers and amazing excursions. We had a wedding in Bali Indonesia that was the stimulus for visiting 7 countries Cebu Philippines, Hanoi, Hue and Hoi An Vietnam, Siem Reap Cambodia, Bangkok Thailand, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, Bali, Indonesia and Taipei, Taiwan. We had marvelous tour guides and drivers. All of them spoke excellent English, had years of experience, were very knowledgeable and passionate about their country and its heritage, very friendly, funny, patient , flexible and accommodating. In Bali we were able to add another tour when we changed hotels and the guide was able to accommodate our friends from Canada to go with us. The drivers were excellent considering the traffic volumes and what we would consider complex driving movements by cars, trucks, bicycles, vespas, tuk tuks and motorcycles. The hotels we were placed in were five stars, with exceptional breakfast which showcased the country's food. We were always able to find ethnic food from that area that we could try. I would highly recommend the Sofitel Legend Metropole in Hanoi. The hotel even has a bunker from the Vietnam War that you can tour if you are staying there. Also the Komaneka at Bisma in Ubud Indonesia was a beautiful property and we were treated like royalty by being placed in a villa with our own swimming pool. All the hotels except one had universal outlets. For any of the Temples whether Buddha or Hindu, churches or Mosques, you need covered shoulders, covered knees and covered toes. Some like Indonesia provide sarongs as part of the entrance fee. For tours the I highly recommend the following: The overnight Ginger Cruise of Halong Bay. The suites were like what you see in the movies of Chinese junket's. You visit a secluded fishing village, the scenery is amazing, the food was excellent and we were taught how to make spring rolls and went squid fishing. The half day cooking class in Cambodia was an amazing experience. We were taken out to a village farm with a multi-generational Cambodian family. The farm had power but no running water. Water was gathered from the river or rainfall. We went to other farms around the village to look at the crops of herbs and vegetables, including rice that were used in the dinner. Also visited the village market for fruits, meats and fish. You were taught how to prepare the foods with the women of the farm while the men set up tables, chairs and lighting for the evening meal. The whole family plus our guide and driver ate the prepared meal under the stars. It was totally awesome. Also don't miss the cooking class at the Blue Elephant in Bangkok. This was a class of 12 students, again with a market tour to select ingredients for what we would be cooking. We prepared four courses which were first demonstrated then we went into a kitchen with stations where each of us prepared that course. Afterwards we sat down to eat the meal that we had prepared. For a different authentic experience The Dark Foodie Tour in Siem Reap by Vespa was one of the highlights of the tour. This tour you spend time with the Cambodian people in the night market, bars and restaurants and even a local fair. You are driven around the city like the locals on Vespa's. You will see lots of temples but two you don't want to miss is Angkor Wat in Cambodia and Wat Suthat in Thailand. Both are astounding and if you get a chance circle back to view the Wat Suthat at night where the lights on the temple show off its beauty. Chris Lawson

We recently enjoyed a tour around Australia arranged by Natasa Jarik at Goway Travel. The trip lasted 10 days, too short to do justice to all of Australia, but enough to give us a taste of a fascinating country. The trip was excellent, exactly what we were looking for. The complicated logistics all worked out smoothly and perfectly. Everything was on time and as advertised. The individual tours were excellent, the guides were absolutely first rate, the accommodations all worked out well (especially the central location of Swissotel in Sydney), and we thoroughly enjoyed the trip. One of the really enjoyable days was day 1, when we arrived early in the morning after a long plane flight from the US and spent the day walking through the parks and gardens and around the harbor in Sydney, visiting a couple of museums, and having a wonderful dinner at a little restaurant around the corner from our hotel. Sydney is a beautiful city! We missed spotting a cassowary in the rain forest, but we saw lots of roos and koalas and emus and dingoes and wombats and crocodiles and wallabies at Kangaroo Island and the Daintree rain forest, snorkeled at the Great Barrier Reef, and enjoyed a very interesting tour around Sydney. The arrangements were handled efficiently and easily. Thank you, Natasa, for arranging a perfect tour for us!Mike Cherry
