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
Tanzania’s seasons shape the rhythm of its wildlife and offer different rewards depending on when you go. The dry months from June to September are prime for safaris—clear skies, open landscapes, and animals gathering at waterholes. It’s also the best time to witness the dramatic river crossings during the Great Migration.
April and May bring rain but also fewer crowds and green, photogenic backdrops. For those looking to combine beach and bush, December to February offers warm weather and lively wildlife sightings, especially during the calving season in the Southern Serengeti.
For a detailed month-by-month breakdown of safari highlights and coastal escapes, check out our guide on the best time to visit Tanzania.
What do the experts say?
An ideal first-time itinerary starts in Arusha and ends in Zanzibar. To maximize time, “Sky Safari” packages using small aircraft to fly guests directly between lodges offer breathtaking aerial views of Tanzania’s diverse landscapes as well as convenience.
The people and wildlife are amazing. You always feel safe at the tented camps, even knowing animals are around. The locals treat you with such warmth and respect.
We provide local experiences, manage client expectations, and work with trusted suppliers so travelers feel safe and enjoy every moment of their trip
Ngorongoro and Serengeti National Park are simply spectacular. There’s no place quite like the massive crater or the migration-covered plains.
Tanzania’s hospitality is incredible. You’ll always feel welcomed, wherever you go

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Tanzania a good vacation spot?
Is Tanzania worth visiting?
Yes—whether you’re chasing wildlife, looking for cultural immersion, or dreaming of a luxury getaway. “The people and wildlife are amazing,” says Goway’s Brooke Theron. “You always feel safe at the tented camps, and the landscape is breathtaking.”
How many days is enough in Tanzania?
Plan on 10 to 14 days to explore the northern safari circuit—including Tarangire (famous for its elephant sightings), the Ngorongoro Crater (a wildlife-rich area dubbed the eighth wonder of the world) and the Serengeti—plus spend time on the coast. “An ideal first-time itinerary starts in Arusha and ends in Zanzibar,” says Destination Specialist Kelley Cleaveland. To maximize time, “Sky Safari” packages using small aircraft to fly guests directly between lodges offer breathtaking aerial views of Tanzania’s diverse landscapes as well as convenience.
Is it safe to walk around Tanzania?

What vaccines do you need before going to Tanzania?
Visitors to Tanzania should ensure that their routine immunizations are up-to-date, and consider vaccinations for hepatitis A, hepatitis B, typhoid, and tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis. A yellow fever vaccination certificate may be required if you are traveling from a country with a risk of yellow fever transmission.
