Our First-Hand Experience

Every year our experienced Family team spends time on safari in Africa visiting and revisiting amazing destinations.  Africa is an addiction for us that we will never seek treatment to overcome!  We loved this itinerary for the pure luxury of it all combined with the over the top service we have come to expect at each stop along the way.  Our connoisseur wine guide has now become a lifetime friend.  We loved watching the yachts in the marina while dining on fresh caught seafood.  Josie’s friends even rappelled off of the famed Table Mountain which is the signature back drop of Cape Town.  One of our favorite memories is the Leopard that stood just above our open air safari vehicle and the lion pride just after sunrise when the sun lit up their capes to a magic golden hew.  The sounds of lions devouring their prey as well as the sound of the lions roar are forever etched in our memory.

Lavish yourself on your South Africa luxury photo safari cherishing your time in the cosmopolitan Cape Town, along the gorgeous cliffs of Hermanus, sipping the most delicious wines in the wine country and taking in the breathtaking lions, leopards, elephant and rhinos of the private reserves adjoining Kruger National Park.  Let Family Expeditions put our 30 plus years of experiences in Africa to work planning your bespoke adventure at the leading safari lodges in Africa.  Seamless planning from the moment you land on the dark continent with private VIP greeters, land rovers, guides, planes, and more.  We tend to every detail of your African Safari experience.  Luxury South Africa Photo Safari
