From the bazaars of Marakesh and Luxor’s glorious temples to Masai Mara’s earth-shaking migrations, our private tours of Africa are crafted just for you. Whether you want a 10-day escape to some popular destinations or a 14-day safari through the heart of Africa, we’ll work with you to curate a unique itinerary.
Relax on the blissful beaches of the Seychelles, admire unique wildlife as you glide along the Zambezi River, or explore the dramatic Drakensberg Mountains. Whatever side of the continent you’re ready to uncover, our African safari itineraries offer inspiration for planning your fully customized vacation.
I recommend spending at least 10 days in Africa for a deeper, more enriching experience. A 10-day custom trip covering Cape Town, Kruger and the Victoria Falls can cost around $8,500. A 14-day journey through Kenya’s Masai Mara and Tanzania’s Serengeti typically costs $9,500.
Prepare for the safari vacation of a lifetime as you journey through South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana. From game drives in Southern Kruger to boat safaris in Chobe National Park and village visits around Okavango Delta, there’s an enthralling set of experiences in store for you. The icing on the cake? A trip to Victoria…

This is a raving review of Enchanting Travels and the South Africa experience. From the first phone call to the last message from our trip coordinator it was flawless and made for the dream vacation to exceed any possible expectations we could have imagined. We will definitely return to South Africa and won’t go anywhere without Enchanting Travels again. If you even think you would be interested in this trip just do it you won’t regret it. Cheers

This was our first trip with Enchanting Travels and I could not make a higher recommendation. From the time of planning to execution of our trip to Southern Africa, the service was excellent. The attention to detail of every aspect of our trip was outstanding. The trip was seamless, from transportation to accommodations. It was comforting to have a connection in Africa who met with us online prior to the trip and was available throughout our journey. The app with all of our travel plans and documents made the trip stress free. We plan to use Enchanting Travels again in the future.

We have travelled to three different countries with the assistance of Enchanting Travels, most recently to Namibia. Each experience has been positive. Namibia was wonderful to visit and our trip was enhanced with the help and coordination of Danielle and Meghan (and undoubtedly so many others who are behind the scene). Our itinerary was individualized and catered to what we value and request. Our trip coordinator, Meghan, is so professional, prompt, and very invested in us having a wonderful experience. The in country guides and excursion companies Enchanting Travels has connected us with have been top notch. The new Trip Agent app which details the trip itinerary is fabulous! We highly recommend Enchanting Travels and are already working with Danielle to plan a trip to Egypt!

We went to Africa because it was on our bucket list. We thought it would turn out to be a nice trip but words cannot express how wonderful it was. We felt like we were living in a fantasy. Every single person that we met in Africa was amazingly friendly and happy. Everything else we saw there was so much more amazing that it being on television. We are really considering going back in the future since it was absolutely the best trip we have ever been on!!! I am suggesting Africa to everyone.

What Is the Best Destination for a Private Safari in Africa?
Kenya and Tanzania are arguably the two best destinations for private African safaris. These two countries host one of the most impressive natural events — the Great Migration. Private tours allow you to get up close to thousands of antelope, zebra, and wildebeest as they move across the grasslands of the Serengeti and Masai Mara.
It is worth noting that South Africa also has several exclusive game reserves, offering bespoke private safaris where you’re pretty much guaranteed to see the Big 5.
