A Glimpse into the World of Conservation in Africa Project Rhino

Project Rhino is an association of like-minded organizations, facilitating rhino conservation interventions aimed at eliminating rhino poaching and securing the white and black rhino populations of KwaZulu-Natal.

Join Professor Goway, Don Forster and the Director of Project Rhino, Grant Fowles and get a glimpse into the world of conservation in Africa and the great work this organization is doing.
“What motivates us daily is the dream of both White and Black rhino species thriving in KwaZulu-Natal and far beyond – forever free, forever secure from poaching, well managed and protected.  We honour their uniqueness as one of the primary icons of Africa’s great wilderness areas.”

Taronga – Australian and World Wildlife in the Heart of Sydney

Taronga Zoo might be one of the best-located zoos in the world with stunning views over Sydney Harbour, but dig a little deeper and you’ll see that this century-old institution has evolved into a world-leading conservation organization dedicated to securing a future for wildlife and people.
 
A great day out at Taronga isn’t just a great day out; it has the power to protect. Taronga is not-for-profit, so whether you visit, stay overnight, donate, become a Zoo Parent, book an unforgettable behind-the-scenes experience or buy a gift for a loved one, every dollar you spend helps save wildlife.
 
Did you know you can also stay at Taronga to not only have close access to the animals but to base yourself on exploratory trips around Sydney and its greater surrounds? Nor did I.
 
Join me, Professor Goway, Monika Townsend, Trade Marketing Manager, Nic Boyle, Executive Director, Taronga Sydney as they discuss how Taronga has evolved from a school outing for Ozzie kids, to a multiple-day experience!

The Highs & Lows of Family Travel

Family travel is magical! But it can also be chaotic—no matter what ages your kids are or the destination you choose!
 
Family travel is about connection. Connection made from educational experiences you will never find in a classroom, from taking on new challenges, discovering personal resilience, and forging memories that will last a lifetime and shape you and your family far into the future.
 
Join Professor Goway Don Forster and his wife, Jana Forster, as they recall their many family travel experiences from Australia to the Galapagos, Antarctica to Africa, the challenges, the rewards, the benefits and why it is worth any grief!

Brazil and its Hidden Gems

Famous for Carnaval, the Amazon, Ipanema Beach, Iguassu Falls, Corcovado, Sugar Loaf, Parilla, Beaches and Capoeira Brazil is a magnet for the Globetrotter looking for a different kind of Latin America. But Brazil is more than these famous sites, sounds and experiences.
 
There is the Pantanal, a vast wetland comparable to the Okavango Delta rich in wildlife; the African cultural hub of Salvador, where African beats, culture and a rass roots celebration of Carnaval flourishes; Lençóis Maranhenses National Park, a unique landscape of white sand dunes and seasonal blue lagoons, creating a surreal and beautiful environment; Fernando de Noronha, an archipelago with stunning beaches, clear waters, and abundant marine life, making it a popular destination for divers and nature lovers.
 
And there is more.
 
Join Carlos Barros, Alisson Andrede and Don Forster as they delve into these hidden Gems of Brazil.

Memories of Switzerland from a Goway Account Manager

Join “Professor” Goway and Jason Stratford, Goway Account Manager as he, Jason, recounts his recent visit to Switzerland.
 
See how the Swiss Alps don’t just dominate the landscape — they define it. Yet for all its natural splendor, Switzerland is not wild. It is refined. And oh, the trains. To ride the Glacier Express is to trace a line through wonder.
 
The cuisine, like everything else in Switzerland, balances indulgence with intention. Melted Gruyère and Emmental bubble in cauldrons of fondue, best shared with laughter and crusty bread.
 
Switzerland doesn’t shout. It whispers. And in that whisper, travelers hear something rare and profound: the sound of balance, the song of a place that has nothing to prove, and everything to share.
 
Come and listen to the “whispers” of Jason.

Samoa – the forgotten “Jewel” of the Pacific

Tucked deep in the heart of the South Pacific, Samoa is the kind of destination where nature feels untouched by hurry, where culture breathes with quiet pride, and where every sunrise feels like the beginning of something new. Samoa's beauty is unapologetically bold.
The coastline unfurls with white-sand beaches, kissed by turquoise lagoons. Inland waterfalls tumble from jungle-covered cliffs. The fa'a Samoa, or "Samoan way," surrounds you at every step. Join Professor Goway, Meg Boyd, Goway's South Pacific Product Manager and Francesca from Tourism Samoa to see why Samoa should be a part of any journey into the South Pacific.

Trek Kilimanjaro or Run in the Kilimanjaro Marathon

There are mountains, and then there is Kilimanjaro — the great snow-capped crown of Africa. It doesn’t roar or boast. It simply rises. Silent and impossibly beautiful.
To trek Kilimanjaro is to answer a call — not just to adventure, but to exploration. To answer the call of running its Marathon is, some would say, crazy….for the runners out there – it is the challenge!
From the moment your boots touch the forest floor of the lower slopes, it is a world alive with monkeys, birdsong, and the damp scent of moss and growth.
Summit day is something else entirely. You leave in darkness, headlamps dancing like fireflies along the narrow path but as the sun cracks the horizon and spills gold across the glaciers, the Africa plains lay below you.
Join “Professor” Goway and Debbie Anderson as they discuss all the ways to get to the top as well as why and how you can partake in the famed Kilimanjaro Marathon.
