The Very Best of Kenya & Tanzania

Tanzania and Kenya have quickly become two of our most in-demand destinations. We’ve traveled extensively throughout both countries—from the plains of Maasai Mara to the slopes of Kilimanjaro—to select our favorite safari lodges, wildlife viewing locations and cultural experiences. Look no further than our recommended tours for the very best of Kenya and Tanzania.

A few of our favorite tours are Highlights of Kenya & Tanzania, Best of Kenya and Essence of Tanzania.

One of our in-house Africa travel experts, Leah Reilley, recently returned from an extensive Kenya and Tanzania tour. Read about her trip on our blog.

Just Back: Portugal (slideshow)

Portugal remains one of the most under-rated destinations in Europe.

If you haven’t visited yet, here’s what you’ve been missing: excellent food and wine, Roman ruins, Moorish architecture, castles, romantic gardens, Jewish history, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, dinosaur tracks, great shopping, luxury hotels and resorts, and beautiful landscapes from terraced vineyards to volcanic islands.

We have just returned from a comprehensive tour of Portugal. Our itinerary, similar to our Exclusive Portugal tour, included Madeira, Porto, the Douro Valley and Lisbon. View our photos to learn more about what Artisans of Leisure travelers experience on our private Portugal tours.

What’s Popular: South America

Our private tours take the guesswork out of visiting South America, a continent filled with an otherwise overwhelming number of mesmerizing landscapes, unbelievable archaeological sites, vibrant cultures, and wonderful food and wine.

We asked our South America travel specialists to share some of their favorite places and experiences:

Our two newest tours:

Incredible art and architecture; visits to cheese markets and artisanal breweries; antiques shopping and porcelain factory tours in Delft; visits to gardens and private excursions along the Flower Route; private cruises on the canals of Amsterdam; biking through the countryside; and, of course, the best luxury hotels and expert local guides available.
