Mosaic Safaris

Mosaic Safaris Personally curated journeys for luxury travelers to Africa and beyond. So, where will it be?

Mosaic Safaris draws inspiration for its name from the word ‘Mosaic’ representing a multi-cultural collage of destinations, and the Swahili word ’Safari’, meaning ‘journey’. Founder Crisney Lane has traveled to and stayed in more than fifty countries (27 in Africa), discovering stunning places along the way and establishing strong relationships that translate to a better service to our clients. We

carefully curate luxurious personalized tours for honeymooners through to multi-generational families, taking into account all the personal requirements an online reservation (or an agent who hasn’t traveled as much) mightn’t consider. As our name suggests, we specialize in trips to Africa, where we have established a proud reputation for tailoring stunning travel experiences for our clients - many of whom have since entrusted us with the arrangements for their visits to every corner of the world. Our partnership with the highly respected Virtuoso travel network and their affiliate The Departure Lounge, adds many benefits to our boutique service, enabling us to literally offer you the world.

The pyramids of Giza are visible from the pool. Let that land for a second.

Built as a hunting lodge in 1869, Marriott Mena House has expanded and transformed over the following decades, and is now one of the most historically loaded hotel experiences in the world. Winston Churchill, Agatha Christie, and heads of state have all been guests.

The position at the foot of the Giza Plateau means early morning access to the site before the crowds arrive. A private sunrise at the Great Pyramid is one of the more reliable ways to shift how someone thinks about travel entirely.

DIY travel planning looks free. It rarely is.

Researching hotels, reading through reviews, comparing itineraries, and figuring out which experiences are actually worth booking rather than just well-marketed. A two-week trip often represents 20 to 30 hours of work before anything is confirmed. For most people, that time has a real cost.

Then there's the invisible cost: what you don't know you're missing. The hotel that looks strong online but has a known service issue. The guide who changes how a destination feels entirely. The upgrade that was available and simply never offered. The reservation that could have been made three months out and wasn't.

And the small mistakes that add up. A transfer that doesn't account for timing. A sequence of stops that requires unnecessary backtracking. A decision made without context that costs more to fix than it would have cost to get right from the beginning.

Working with a travel advisor doesn't just save time. It changes the quality of the trip, and often the cost of it.

If you're planning something and want it done correctly, that's exactly what we're here for.

Every room. Every suite. Every view faces the Taj Mahal.

Oberoi Amarvilas, less than half a mile from the East Gate, consistently ranks among the top hotels in Asia, and is one of the first properties we mention when a client says India is on their list.

India trips are also some of the most talked-about trips our clients ever take. Not just during the trip, for years after. The country rewards great planning more than almost anywhere else we send people, and this is one of the properties we build that planning around.

South Africa is one of the most itinerary-flexible destinations in the world. Here's how we recommend experiencing it:

Cape Town first. It's one of the most visually striking cities on earth, and the design hotel and restaurant scene here has matured significantly. Table Mountain, the Atlantic Seaboard, the Cape Peninsula. Most clients who go for a few days wish they had more.

For wildlife: the private reserves around Sabi Sands share an unfenced border with Kruger National Park. Big Five sightings are among the most consistent on the continent, and the private reserve experience means dramatically fewer vehicles per sighting than in the public park.

For wine: Stellenbosch and Franschhoek are genuinely world-class. The estate stays in Franschhoek in particular, with long lunches, cellar visits, and mountain scenery that doesn't match most people's image of Africa at all.

Most itineraries we design for South Africa cover all three. If Africa is on your travel bucket list, let's talk through what makes sense for your trip.

Some travelers are planning with a different set of priorities right now. Destinations that feel stable, well-organized, and deliver an excellent experience without uncertainty. A few we keep recommending:

Switzerland, for alpine adventures that are hard to match anywhere. In summer, gondola rides into the Alps, mountain coasters, and for the chocolate lovers, Geneva has an unlimited chocolate pass honored at the city's best artisanal chocolatiers.

Ireland and Scotland, for long summer days, the Wild Atlantic Way, and a hospitality culture that consistently surprises first-time visitors in the best way.

Japan, for cherry blossom season, world-class powder skiing, small-ship cruising along its coastline, and a level of cultural depth that clients say changed how they think about travel entirely.

Australia and New Zealand, for stunning natural landscapes, serious food culture, and a well-run English-speaking environment that works particularly well for first-time long-haul travelers. Book New Zealand now before its first Michelin Guide puts the best tables out of reach.

If this is the kind of trip you're planning, we'll help you find the right destination and design it properly.

We've sent many clients to Iguazú Falls. Not one has come back saying it wasn't worth it.

Gran Meliá Iguazú is the only hotel located inside the Argentine national park, putting guests closer to the falls than any other property in the area. That means early access before day visitors arrive and a completely different atmosphere once they leave.

Staying on the Argentine side also gives access to the Brazilian perspective, which offers a panoramic view that's entirely different from the up-close experience. The falls span nearly 2 miles and include 275 individual cascades.

Advisor Tip: Buenos Aires, the wine country of Mendoza, and Patagonia all connect well with a few nights here.

Europe gets all the attention. South America gets all the rewards. And right now, it's the best-kept secret in luxury travel.

While everyone is fighting for peak-season availability in Italy and France, South America offers world-class hotels, extraordinary food, and a fraction of the crowds. And the destinations have never been better.

Peru has a food culture that has surprised the world, and properties around Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley that rival anything in Europe for design and experience.

Colombia has gone from under the radar to genuinely unmissable: Cartagena's old city, the coffee region, and Medellín's food and design scene are drawing travelers.

Argentina rounds it out with Buenos Aires, one of the great city experiences anywhere, and Mendoza wine country, which competes with the best regions in the world.

Three countries. Extraordinary experiences. If South America has been on your radar, this is the year to stop waiting.

Let's plan it properly.

Most people put Australia on the list and never quite get around to booking it. Here's your sign.

The range in one country is remarkable. World-class cities, ancient wilderness, extraordinary marine life, and a food and wine culture that consistently surprises first-time visitors.

The only thing worse than never going to Australia is waiting another year to start planning it. Message us to get started!

Summer travel doesn't have to mean Europe. Some of the best itineraries we're building right now are in Southeast Asia.

The island-hopping combination of Thailand and Indonesia is one of the strongest trips we put together. Private villas, boat charters through some of the most spectacular water in the world, extraordinary food, and a value proposition that Europe simply cannot compete with at the moment.

Thailand's Andaman islands, Koh Lanta, Koh Yao Noi, and the stretches well away from the main Phuket strip, set the tone beautifully before connecting into Bali as a second base. The Komodo Islands for diving and wildlife. Lombok for something calmer. Raja Ampat for some of the best marine biodiversity on earth.

Cool-cations are officially trending this summer, and honestly, we've been recommending them for years.

More travelers are planning their peak season trips around comfort and experience rather than just the calendar. The result? Some of the most spectacular destinations in the world, with a fraction of the usual crowds and temperatures that actually make you want to spend time outside. A few of our favorites right now:

Norway's fjord country is most accessible in summer, and the quality of light at that latitude is something clients consistently say they weren't prepared for. Photographers plan entire trips around it.

Iceland in summer is genuinely extraordinary. Long days, dramatic landscapes, and none of the overcrowding that defines peak season in southern Europe.

Vancouver Island in British Columbia is one of the most underrated summer destinations in North America. Old-growth forests, incredible wildlife, world-class kayaking, and a coastal pace that is hard to find anywhere else.

Alaska in summer delivers some of the most beautiful scenery on earth. Glacier trekking, wildlife encounters, and long golden days that stretch well into the evening.

The Atacama Desert in Chile is one of the driest places on earth and one of the best stargazing destinations in the world. Days are warm rather than hot, nights are cool, and the landscape is unlike anything else.

And then there's Patagonia. Remote, dramatic, and one of the most distinctive trips we plan all year.

Peak season travel without the heat, the crowds, or the chaos. Reach out, and let's find the right one for you.
