Family Experiences
More and more travelers are now opting to travel with family members, whether it is with their children, grandchildren, in-laws, or even a large, extended family tour overseas. These days, family experiences can often mean a group size of 20 or more, since international trips can be an opportunity to bond while also having plenty of alone time. Whatever size your family may be, an Exquisite Safaris experience offers an incredible chance for everyone to experience another culture and learn the value of philanthropy.
Exquisite Safaris works closely with each family to design itineraries that suit the interests and needs of each family member.
Honeymooners & Romance
Honeymooners who opt to travel across the world are often curious travelers seeking an extraordinary travel experience. Yet they also want to relax, spend time with each other, experience the local culture, and take advantage of the resort.
A Perfect Balance
We carefully consult with honeymooners to ensure that your itinerary meets your preferences with a perfect balance of relaxation, activity, and romance. We plan all of our tours, including our honeymoons, as if they are our own. Leave the logistics to us and rest assured that your honeymoon will exceed your expectations. The level of luxury, service, and romance that you will receive as an Exquisite Safaris honeymooner is truly incomparable. Our honeymoons include:
- Well situated camps, resorts and hotels, most with private spas and a variety of restaurants and activities on-site. Our knowledgeable travel specialists will arrange for you to be booked in the most desirable room categories at each property.

Art, Architecture & Design
We offer tours in destinations particularly renowned for their traditional arts and their modern design. Exquisite Safaris special interest tours incorporate architecture, museums, shopping districts, and access to private collections and other works of art, both ancient and modern.
Our travel specialists and guides know the most skilled artisans, the current leading designers, wonderful local museums, and the most selective shops. If you have a particular interest or collection that you would like to cultivate through travel, we are happy to tailor a travel experience to suit your requirements.
We also work closely with organizations, institutions, and affiliated groups to create extremely specialized tour programs for their members.
