Overlanding – The Original Adventure Trip


Goway, through its’ newest division ADVENTURESIncorporated, returns to its’ roots with the introduction of a wide range of Overland Product in Africa. Goway began operations offering exciting adventures in Latin America in Overland vehicles and ADVENTURESIncorporated’s Product Manger, Don Forster is a former overland driver himself with over 6 years on road experience!

“Overlanding is still the best way to see a country” states Forster. “You see areas most people fly over, enjoy the flexibility of independent travel with group security and buying power, plus you visit local markets and other off-the-beaten-track sites rarely seen by other tourists”.

Overland tours include a “Gorilla Encounter” – a 14 day tour from Nairobi starting from $1145. This safari gives a glimpse of East Africa’s enormously diverse scenery and some of its friendliest people. From the Great Rift Valley dotted with lakes, to the terraced hillsides of fertile Uganda, and a very special wildlife encounter – the opportunity to trek and view the magnificent gorillas in their fragile habitat is an unforgettable experience.

Also available is the Desert Tracker, a 19 to 25 day journey priced from $1495. This is an action-packed safari journeying through diverse landscapes, eerie and barren desert, pounding Atlantic coastline, lush and prolific game parks, tranquil and peaceful wildernesses, and the thundering Victoria Falls. Exhilarating adventure activities are available to pump travellers full of African adrenaline!

In custom-built expedition vehicles, seating up to 22 people, the mode of transport is safe, secure and very comfortable. Convenience is paramount; you can even re-charge your laptop and Ipod as you travel! The crew are highly trained; not only with destination knowledge but also in vehicle maintenance.

The complete range of touring in Southern and Eastern Africa complements ADVENTURESIncorporated’s existing comprehensive adventure product in Australia, New Zealand, Asia and Latin America, and provides one of the most organic and up close and personal ways to explore a country, its culture and environment.

Antarctica – A “Boat” Load of New Product for A.I.


As an extension to its product range in Latin America, ADVENTURESIncorporated (A.I). has announced the ultimate in adventure – Antarctica. Considered by many as the final travel frontier, Antarctica is becoming increasingly popular for all adventurers and is moving up the wish list of Globetrotting travellers, partly due to limited numbers that are able to visit this region.

There are no permanent human residents and Antarctica has never had an indigenous population. The only residents are researchers, varying from approximately 4000 people in summer to 1000 people in winter. Only cold-adapted plants and animals survive in Antarctica, including penguins, fur seals, blue whales, mosses, lichens, and many types of algae.

The Antarctic expedition cruises offered by A.I. operate aboard purpose built vessels (previously operated as Russian research ice breakers) that have been fully converted for the comfort of our clients. They offer travellers up to 4 landings a day, maximized by the extended daylight in the south, as well as having clients up close and personal with a menagerie of polar wildlife. Other adventure options include overnight camping, kayaking and even diving!

“Antarctica by its nature and location is a high cost trip, but within those parameters we have prices to cater to all budgets” says Don Forster, A.I.’s Product Development Manager. “Savvy agents that specialize in this unique destination can earn big commissions by having the knowledge and expertise to confidently sell this niche product.”

With over 22 departures during the season (Northern Hemisphere winter), and a wide selection of itineraries that may include South Georgia and the Falklands Islands, and pricing for all budgets, Antarctica is a new jewel in the Goway family of destinations.

Sample trips include:
13 days Christmas in the Weddell Sea from $8150 USD per person.
19 days Antarctica, Falklands & South Georgia from $7800 USD per person.

Don’t miss the boat to the Galapagos – “Garden of Eden”


ADVENTURESIncorporated has this week launched two unique cruise experiences to the Galapagos Islands aboard the best cruising vessels, the Isabella and the Santa Cruz.

Perhaps more so than any other place in the world, the fauna of the Galapagos are unique. Charles Darwin’s observations of these unique animals, their remarkable adaptation to a hostile environment, and the subtle variations between races of the same species living on different islands led directly to his theory of natural selection.

“Through ADVENTURESIncorporated’s years of experience within the Ecuador and Galapagos region we are able to tap into some of the best adventure cruising options in the islands at favourable pricing levels as well as add excellent land options for the pre and post portions of a Galapagos adventure” says Don Forster, A.I.’s Product Manager. “The destination is a fabulous choice for agents to focus on and specialize in, as there is a never ending desire by travellers of all levels to visit this truly unique destination.”

Space and departure dates are extremely limited, so an early reservation is suggested to prevent disappointment.

9 or 11 day sea only or land and sea options are available with prices starting as low as $2710. For full departure dates and pricing please visit our website.

ADVENTURESIncorporated is the exclusive adventure division of 37 year old Goway Travel.
