Whether it's a trans-generational trip or with children, we adapt to the needs of each family with a tailor-made program, vehicles and activities.
Honeymoon or exceptional trip
A trip for your honeymoon or wedding anniversary should be more than perfect. For this exceptional holiday, the services must be top-of-the-range: plane transfers between lodges, hot air balloon flights over the reserves, private dinner under the stars or in the bush...
Stays for expats and their relatives
If you already reside in South Africa, don't hesitate to contact us to explore Southern and Eastern Africa from your base or to visit the "must-sees" with your loved ones.
Tailor-made ‘photo safari’
Are you passionate about photography? South Africa offers unparalleled opportunities to get up close and personal with big cats, without crowds of tourists, especially in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve. It is also the only country to offer the discovery of the "Big Seven" (adding whales and great white sharks to the classic Big Five).
South Africa off the beaten track
For an original ‘à la carte’ trip, South Africa offers little-known but beautiful destinations: hiking in the mountains of Drakensberg and Lesotho, walking in the footsteps of Nelson Mandela on the Wild Coast, marveling at the desert landscapes of the Karoo and Kalahari, or meeting the local traditions and crafts of Limpopo.
Multi-country combined trips
Now that you're in the Southern Hemisphere, why not take the opportunity to combine two or even three countries? It is easy to cross the land borders between all the countries of Southern Africa. Air links are also frequent and reliable in the region, with East Africa and Reunion Island.
