“If you want to take an effortless 5 star trip at reasonable prices, the Art In Voyage team is the choice. They don’t offer vacations just life changing experiences. South Africa was our third trip with them and the only company we will ever travel with again! Many thanks to Mikael and team and we will see you again soon! Cheryl and Danielle”
“Traveling with the Art In Voyage team makes everything effortless and amazing. I was a bit concerned about the long flight to S. Africa, but I’m so happy I decided to go. It was awe inspiring and life-changing. It actually felt like we had three mini trips… Cape Town, the winelands, and then a safari. Also, I ended out shattering my ankle on Safari… Totally my fault. The Art In Voyage team worked endlessly to ensure my flight home was as comfortable and short as possible. I don’t know how it would’ve gotten home without them. This is my fifth trip with them. As soon as my ankle heals, I will be off on my next adventure Art in Voyage. They are truly unique and special travel company.“
“Taste of South Africa/Feb 2024 was my first trip with Art in Voyage. I’m in the luxury leisure travel business so know a quality product when I experience it and THIS is THAT in spades! The destination speaks for itself, but the secret sauce are the guides that Mikael brings to the experience – Chef Kevin Fonzo & the Wine Fairy Katie Barratt elevate the experience with their engaging personalities and depth of knowledge which they are so passionate about sharing. Our guide at Kruger National Park, Hali, must be a one of South Africa‘s national treasures. What an amazing 3 days exploring the park and seeing the Big 5 + with his experienced tracking and huge contagious smile. Ahighlight of this trip was the Ithemba Youth Choir performing for us at our Cape Town seaside villa on our final night there. Such a special experience. Art in Voyage staff are exemplary in their attention to every detail. Highly recommend for a unique small group experience of superb quality.“
