An African safari is one of our favorite travel experiences. There’s an almost magical connection with nature, and it’s particularly wonderful when shared with loved ones. Add to that the incredible sense of welcome and exclusivity at the top safari lodges, and it’s the kind of adventure that travelers remember for years to come.

Artisans of Leisure’s travel specialists are experts in the destinations we offer and take care of everything, including booking private charter flights, securing the top safari guides and trackers, and arranging exclusive experiences like hot-air balloon flights, photography expeditions, wine tastings, conservation efforts and cultural activities.
