What do Goway's travellers say?
“Working with Goway was a great…”
Working with Goway was a great experience! The rep I worked with was so patient with me as I figured out a new destination (Kenya & Zanzibar). My clients were very pleased with everything that was put together for them and they said they had the time of their lives!
Jessica“Discover Ghana with Goway Groups”
I am a travel agent and escorted a group to Ghana. We had a fabulous time! Goway made it so easy and the process was seamless - from itinerary building, booking, and all the fine details! Keren Samuels at Goway Groups was phenomenal, responsive to all questions, and very supportive! We will definitely be planning another trip with her to Africa!
berlinda bowdwin“A Joyous Journey Through South Africa ”
We booked our journey from Dubai to South Africa with Alice Teramoto, a destination specialist with Goway.
Alice ensured that we were booked for all of the extras we wanted and organized a fantastic trip for us to enjoy!
The local company that we worked with while there (Thompsons) was highly responsive and super helpful.
Alice made great suggestions and kept us well informed & organized.
It was an easy process for us and everything worked out well.
The group size was perfect, the accommodations were awesome and all local guides were excellent!
Patricia Palmer“This was my first time international…”
This was my first time international trip to Ghana with Gowey Travel. My agent, Vanessa Lloyd was exceptional!! When I arrived at Ghana, everything was ready for me with excellent customer service. She planned this trip so well without missing any details being left out. Thank you so much Vanessa!!
customer“Outstanding travel adventure”
We have used Goway for several trips now. Our most recent trip was a trip to Africa with a safari focus. We know we can trust them will all the details. Once we described what kind of experience we wanted, they helped to ensure it was the best possible.
Our agent Alice is always there for any questions pre-departure and during our travel time. All transfers were in place from getting from point A to B.
All of the tour guides were very professional and very knowledgeable. We know we are in good hands with Goway and highly recommend.
Cindy Horvath“I was skeptical about using Goway…”
I was skeptical about using Goway travel but the trip was flawless. Brooke Theron took care of every detail and was with me from start to finish. Hotels were beautiful, tours were magical. Small groups with door to door service. I will definitely be booking our next trip through Goway travel. Thanks Brooke!
Heather d“Safari # 8”
This was my 8th safari with Goway. The trip was seamless with all flights and transfers going smoothly. Bijal understands what we are looking for and is able to deliver an excellent package checking all of our boxes.
I would not hesitate to recommend Bijal and Goway for your Safari experience.
Kim Rae“Family Group Adventure to Southern Africa”
Alexandra in Group Travel put together a magnificent package for our family of 12 to southern Africa. Flights, accommodations, meals and multiple activities all proceeded seamlessly. As a contained group we were pampered from start to finish.
Dennis Langridge“Dreaming of an African Safari”
I'm a travel advisor and worked with Jodi at GoWay to help create my clients dream African Safari. My clients returned in June and couldn't wait to provide their feedback. They absolutely LOVED everything about their journey. They got to see so many animals and the babies. They shared a video of 2 male lions walking right next to their safari vehicle! They felt safe and well taken care of. Their tour guides were amazing. They felt as if they were on a private tour since there were no more than 20 people at the lodges. Thanks Jodi and GoWay for helping my clients achieve their dream vacation!
Tabitha“South Africa Group Trip”
I recently partnered with Goway to plan a luxury group trip to South Africa, and they delivered an incredible experience from start to finish. The itinerary was thoughtfully crafted, well-paced, and filled with meaningful excursions—my clients especially loved the Soweto tour, safaris, and wine country.
Their guide Brenda was a standout—warm, professional, and unforgettable. The prearranged meals, comfortable transportation, and hand-picked accommodations made travel smooth and enjoyable for all.
Goway was a reliable and attentive partner throughout the planning process, and I look forward to working with them again for future group adventures!
Special shoutout to Frank & Tanya for being gems all throughout the planning process and handling the changes along the way, they truly made me look like a rockstar to my clients.

Best Time To Visit
Kenya is a year-round destination, but each season brings something unique. The dry season from June to October is prime time for safaris and the famous Great Migration in the Masai Mara. It’s also when wildlife gathers around watering holes, making sightings frequent and spectacular.
From December to March, expect fewer crowds and warm coastal breezes—perfect for combining safari with a beach retreat. These months are also ideal for spotting newborn animals across the national parks. The green seasons of April, May and November bring lush landscapes, rich birdlife, and quieter reserves, ideal for those looking to explore at a slower pace.
“Consistent weather and amazing wildlife viewing make July through September perfect—but Kenya shines all year long.” - Bijal Kana, Kenya Specialist

What do the experts say?
Goway guests can enjoy unforgettable moments like bush breakfasts, night game drives, and personalized safaris in luxury tented camps
The Samburu Reserve is one of the most colourful game-viewing areas in the country, home to species found nowhere else—like the reticulated giraffe and Grevy’s zebra
In peak months like August, the migration draws huge crowds to the river crossings. But conservancies around the Mara limit vehicle numbers, so you still get intimate wildlife moments
Kenya offers the best wildlife viewing with the world-renowned Masai Mara, plus unique species only found in places like Samburu.
I wouldn’t recommend self-driving as Kenya’s roads can be tricky, and they drive on the left side, which can confuse visitors used to North American systems

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Kenya a good place to vacation?
How many days is enough in Kenya?
At least eight to 12 days is ideal. This allows time for a proper safari circuit (like Samburu, Ol Pejeta, and Masai Mara), plus some downtime on the coast or in Nairobi. For island add-ons or deeper cultural exploration, plan for 14 or more days.
How safe is Kenya for solo female travellers?
Kenya is welcoming and safe when you travel smart. Stick to guided tours or vetted drivers, dress modestly in rural areas, and avoid walking alone at night in cities. Goway provides secure, trusted ground arrangements from start to finish.
What can I not bring to Kenya?
Plastic bags are banned, and drones require special permits. It’s also advised to avoid bright-coloured clothing on safari. Stick to earth tones to blend into the environment and respect the wildlife experience.
Do I need a visa to visit Kenya?
Since 2024, most foreign nationals have had to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to visit Kenya (citizens of certain African and Caribbean nations are exempt). You must apply and obtain your eTA online through the official eVisa Kenya portal at least 72 hours before your travel date
What vaccinations are needed for Kenya?
Standard travel vaccines are advised for travel to Kenya, including those for hepatitis A, typhoid, polio, and tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis. A yellow fever vaccine is required for entry if you are traveling from an area with yellow fever risk. Other recommended vaccines include hepatitis b, meningitis, and rabies, especially for longer stays or activities that increase exposure.
