Exploring the Brazilian Wilderness: A Safari Like No Other

When envisioning a safari, images of Africa might first come to mind. However, Brazil boasts its own unique and diverse ecosystems that provide an equally thrilling safari experience. The Pantanal, the world's largest tropical wetland, is a hidden gem awaiting discovery. Spread across approximately 140,000 square kilometers, it offers an unparalleled opportunity to encounter Brazil's incredible biodiversity.

Embarking on a Brazil safari in the Pantanal means coming face-to-face with jaguars—the rulers of this sprawling landscape. Bird enthusiasts can revel in sightings of the striking hyacinth macaw, while the capybara, the world's largest rodent, grazes nearby. As your boat silently drifts down the rivers, watch for caiman lurking beneath the water's surface. This vibrant ecosystem is teeming with life, providing an intimate look at nature's spectacle.

The Amazon Calling: Untamed Adventures

For those yearning to dive deeper into the wilderness, Brazil wildlife tours through the Amazon Rainforest are your gateway to a world shrouded in mystery and majesty. The Amazon is a dazzling tapestry of sights and sounds, where the call of howler monkeys and the rustle of colourful toucans are your constant companions.

Guided nature walks introduce you to the vast variety of flora and fauna. Here, expert guides reveal secrets of the rainforest, from medicinal plants to the intricate lives of its creatures. Every step uncovers a new story, a new thrill, making it a perfect addition for any nature lover's Brazil travel package.

Brazilian Safaris: A Cultural Blend

No visit to Brazil is complete without experiencing the culture that beats at its heart. Safaris and wildlife tours can be paired with cultural visits, allowing you to embrace both the wild and the human spirit that define the nation. Venture into indigenous communities and learn about their harmonious living with nature, an experience that enriches your understanding of Brazil's rich cultural tapestry.

Further infuse your journey with Brazillian cookery classes or join locals in bustling markets to see fresh, organic produce on display. From aromatic coffees to steaming feijoada—a traditional bean stew—you'll savour the essence of Brazil's culinary world.

Travelling Smart: Tips for Your Brazil Adventure

Planning your adventure is crucial for a seamless experience. Begin by choosing a travel period that aligns with your interests. Brazil's dry season, from May to October, is ideal for wildlife tours, offering prime viewing conditions. Whether you're looking for an all-encompassing Brazil travel package or seeking a custom itinerary, ensure it includes a mix of biodiversity exploration and cultural immersion.

Essential Travel Tips:

  • Local Guides are Key: Utilize the knowledge of local guides for deeper insights and safe navigation through Brazil's diverse terrains.
  • Pack Wisely: Lightweight, breathable clothing is essential, and don't forget insect repellent and sunblock for those wildlife tours.
  • Stay Updated: Keep an eye on health advisories and travel requirements to ensure a safe journey.

Capturing Memories: Preserve the Beauty

Documenting your journey through photos and journals ensures that the magic of Brazil stays with you long after you leave its shores. Whether it's the grace of a jaguar slinking through the jungle or the vibrant celebrations at a local festival, these memories are treasures to be cherished.

Brazil beckons with a promise of adventure, culture, and discovery. Its landscapes are rich and vast, its people warm and welcoming. As you embark on your Brazil safari or wildlife tour, prepare for a journey that redefines beauty, transforming it from a mere word into a living experience.

The heart of Brazil beats with a rhythm unlike any other, inviting you to explore its depths. Whether through a guided tour of the Amazon or a cultural dive into Rio's festivities, discover why Brazil is a destination that remains forever etched in every traveller's memory.

Brazil is great to visit all year round, but December to March is ideal for experiencing the vibrant summer energy and major events like Carnaval. For those who want to search for wildlife in the Amazon & Pantanal, I would suggest April to October

Travellers must plan for diverse weather as the country ranges from tropical in the north (Amazon rainforest -with high humidity and rain) to temperate in the south, with hot, dry inland areas and a semi-arid Northeast region experiencing less rain.

I have had Melissa Moses plan our trips for us for quite a few years. She always finds interesting sights for us to see, the hotels are always beautiful and everything runs perfectly. Can't wait to get started on the next adventure. Andrea Jones

Just returned from a two week trip to Prague, Vienna and Budapest booked by Michael Keon at Goway This was our second trip booked with Michael Hotels were all excellent, in great locations, transfers to and from airports went without a hitch and train travel was exactly as planned. As we worked through all the details of planning the trip, he responded to lib questions promptly, making finalizing the trip very easy I would highly recommend him as a travel agent, and we will be using him again Kevin Bourke

Katie's knowledge and support were the primary reason the trip worked so well. Everything went smoothly, and the vacation could not have been any better. The hotels were wonderful, the two tours we took went well, and there were no issues with flights or transfers. GERAR

We have used Goway Travel previously, and they are the best. Our travel specialist, Shalini Thakur, designed our trip to Italy exactly the way we wanted. They make traveling so low-stress. The itinerary is very detailed, giving you plenty of time to review prior to your trip. We have drivers that meet us at the airport and take us to and from all stops on our trip. No dealing with trains and buses and taxis and dragging your luggage all over. They have great local guides for excursions, most in small groups of 10 or less. The trip is so much more meaningful with a knowledgeable guide to explain the history. Our accommodations are always centrally located to our excursions, most of the time we are picked up at our hotel. We like to keep busy on our trips, but Goway always plans a great balance that gives us time to rest a little after late nights or long days, so you don't get exhausted, which is nice as we are all in our late 60's. Although we have never needed to use it, it gives peace of mind knowing Goway has 24/7 emergency contacts if you need anything. We will definitely be contacting Shalini and Goway for our future trips. David Merrifield

Big shout out to Melissa-Lee and her team at Goway. She crafted a personal adventure through Peru. We gave her our must see places and she nailed it. The team on the ground was exceptional. The guides were all very knowledgeable. The hotels were all chosen carefully and exceeded our expectations. Could not have asked for a better tour. We will definitely use them again.Joanne

I began planning my Italy vacation with Avery more than a year before we traveled, and I want to start by giving her the recognition she deserves. Avery did an exceptional job planning this trip. From the beginning, I had a very clear vision of what I wanted to experience in Italy, and she listened carefully and captured it. The destinations, hotels, tours, transportation and overall flow of the trip were thoughtfully planned. Aside from three specific issues that I will address, everything came together extremely well. One of the things I appreciated most was the attention to logistics. The hotels were conveniently located, our tour meeting points were generally close to our accommodations, and the routing between cities made sense. Those details may seem small during the planning process, but once you are actually traveling through multiple cities, they make an enormous difference. I especially appreciated the meet and greet services and arranged transfers because they removed much of the stress that comes with arriving somewhere unfamiliar. I did not have to constantly worry about where to go, how to get there or who I was supposed to meet. I was able to enjoy my vacation instead of managing the logistics of my vacation. The people Avery arranged for us to work with in Italy were also excellent overall. Our drivers, guides and local representatives were professional, pleasant and easy to communicate with. We stayed at five hotels, and with the exception of Dharma Luxury Hotel in Rome, the other four were excellent. I loved them and would not change those selections. From a travel planning perspective, I would give Avery more than five stars. She listened, understood what I wanted and created the Italy experience I had envisioned. I would absolutely work with her again and recommend her to others. There were, however, three specific issues during the trip that I believe deserve attention. These involved the third-party operator used for our Siena, San Gimignano and Chianti tour, our experience at Dharma Luxury Hotel in Rome, and the response from Goway’s emergency travel support. I want to separate these concerns from my experience with Avery because I do not believe they reflect the quality of the work she did planning our vacation. My recommendations are therefore directed toward strengthening the third-party services surrounding the travel experience. I recommend that Goway review the operator used for the Siena, San Gimignano and Chianti tour, reconsider Dharma Luxury Hotel based on the maintenance and customer service issues I experienced and conduct a formal review of its emergency support provider, including whether the response to my request complied with the provider’s contractual service levels. Overall, this was an incredible Italy vacation, and Avery deserves tremendous credit for making it happen. Planning an excellent vacation is important, and she accomplished that. At the same time, what happens when something does not go according to plan is also an important part of the travel experience. The three problems I encountered were specific and identifiable, and addressing those areas would make an already excellent travel planning experience significantly stronger.S Moolah

Katie our travel agent planned a wonderful trip for us. Everything was taken care of and we didn’t have to worry about anything. I would highly recommend Go Way travel when planning a trip. 49ergirl

I worked with Maria S. from Goway Travel to build a tailored trip to the Azores and mainland Portugal. Maria provided excellent, responsive and patient service, never pressured me into making decisions, offered multiple options for managing pricing, answered my many questions clearly and fully, and always met the timelines she would set to get back to me. Once I was on my trip, Maria checked in several times even though there was an operator on the ground at my destination; she even resolved a minor mix-up with one of my hotels and arranged for a special surprise on my birthday. I cannot speak highly enough of Maria's professionalism, follow-through, positivity, attention to detail and responsiveness. I highly recommend Goway and Maria for your travel plans, and will definitely use this company again for my future travels. Thank you so much for making my trip to Portugal so memorable, Maria!

Extremely delighted we took this trip to Bali with Goway. Ameet was fantastic. He helped me save on my flights and also guided me on the right hotel decisions. Extremely Charming and always a pleasure to chat to. We enjoyed the Komodo islands a lot thanks to our specialist who made the recommendation. Hid guidance on the places and restaurants was spot on and we and my gf enjoyed the trip so much. We will consider using Goway and Ameet for our Honeymoon as well.Garth Cutos
