Luxury Tours & Safaris in South Africa

South Africa is a stunning, once-in-a-lifetime destination for many travelers, and it deserves to be done right: the Artisans of Leisure way.

Our in-house South Africa specialists have traveled throughout this incredibly beautiful and diverse country, and have carefully designed tours that showcase the extraordinary wildlife, landscapes, food and wine, and cultural attractions.

Our private South Africa tours feature the best luxury safari lodges in the game parks and private game reserves that offer optimal (and uncrowded) wildlife viewing opportunities, including Singita and other legendary properties in Sabi Sand Reserve, Kruger National Park and the malaria-free Madikwe Reserve.

In beautiful Cape Town, private touring with our expert guides is the ideal way to explore iconic destinations such as Table Mountain, Robben Island and the Cape Peninsula, experience the sophisticated art, shopping and dining scene, and to enjoy wine touring in the spectacular Winelands.

Other highlights of our South Africa tours are a visit to spectacular Victoria Falls in neighboring Zambia; an overnight journey on one of the world’s most luxurious trains; a private tour of Soweto township; private visits to important archaeological sites; private cooking classes; shopping for baskets, beadwork, diamonds, ostrich leather goods and other local specialties; and much more.

South Africa is an essential component in our multi-country tours in Africa, including destinations in Botswana, Mauritius and Egypt, and combines well with a stopover in many of Europe’s most interesting cities.
