The Best Private Trips To Book In Africa

Whether you’re looking to book a private trip with family, friends or a social group, these are the best Culture Trip itineraries you can book on the continent of Africa.

There’s plenty of pros for going private. Obviously it means you can keep the guest-list locked down, but it also allows for far greater flexibility on travel dates, group sizes (minimum of 4) and even age requirements. Simply get in touch with our Travel Experts to organise your personalised Culture Trip adventure.

Epic Morocco

North Africa has a totally distinct flavour of its own, and nowhere tickles your traveller tastebuds more than Morocco, a nation teeming with natural and cultural diversity. Our 11-day tour is a comprehensive experience that shows you this beautiful country’s many faces, from the coastal city of Casablanca to the striking blue streets of Chefchaouen and the old-world charm of Fes. It also takes in the Sahara desert and the Atlas Mountains, as well as the bustling streets of Marrakech. Highlights include a night spent camping in the Sahara – sunrise camel ride included – as well as a Marrakech street food tour and a scenic hike in the Atlas. Our itinerary also places great value on authentic cultural experiences, including a storytelling experience with a local family in Fes, a visit to a Gnawa village in the Sahara and lunch with a local Berber family.

Ultimate Egypt 2024

No country in all of Africa can compete with Egypt when it comes to bucket-list attractions, but this place is about so much more than just the Great Pyramids. You’ll visit them, as well as the Sphinx and the brand new Grand Egyptian Museum, on our nine-day itinerary, but you’ll also get a guided tour through the beating heart of Cairo, stopping off for tea at an iconic local cafe and visiting a traditional bookbinding store, where you can buy a personalised leather notebook. Then we trace the Nile south, first by sleeper train and then on a luxury four night river cruise. You’ll explore Luxor Temple by candlelight, discover the Valley of the Kings and master your haggling skills in the souk of Luxor. More temples and tombs await en route to Aswan, where we’ll swap the river cruiser for a kayak as you go paddling on the Nile, past the incredible islands of Aswan. Cap off the trip of a lifetime with an authentic Nubian dinner – delicious.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.

We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits. We are committed to go as far as possible in curating our trips with care for the planet. That is why all of our trips are flightless in destination, fully carbon offset - and we have ambitious plans to be net zero in the very near future.
