Eco-Luxury Adventure in South Africa

Exceptional safaris and vibrant cities

Let an expert travel designer
plan your custom trip:












Explore the best of South Africa

South Africa has something to delight every taste, from eclectic culture of Cape Town, its bucolic vineyards, and the wildlife of Kruger National Park. Africa’s southern tip offers sophisticated infrastructure and unparalleled service and hospitality, making it one of the world’s top eco-luxury destinations. Elevate Destinations’ South African journeys include exceptional safaris and wildlife viewing, varied activities for every member of the family, and cultural and community visits.

Whether you wine and dine, get active or get off-the-grid, explorers with a flair for sustainable travel will not be disappointed by the myriad of ethical voluntourism opportunities well suited to family travelers and romantic couples alike.

Because Elevate partners with lodges that support conservation and local communities, your safari is an investment in habitats, wildlife and livelihoods.

Prices start at $10,000 per person for a one-week trip.

“Our trip was simply amazing. We really experienced what Africa is all about. For our girls, who are still relatively young, an experience like this can and likely is life changing. Overall the trip was everything we could have dreamed and doing this together as a family made it that much more special.”
