Signature Small Group Tours in Africa

Explore

Africa is naturally full of those ‘wow’ moments, but you can make it even more special on a Signature Tour with Riviera Travel.

From seeing your first elephant on a game drive on a Kenyan Safari, to exploring the atmospheric souks of Marrakesh, there’s no shortage of incredible experiences on this diverse continent. Our Signature tours take this up a notch, giving you access to exclusive experiences such as a visit to a women’s co-operative in Morocco, a boat ride on Lake Navaisha., or walking from Zambia to Botswana using the Kazungula Bridge over the Zambezi River.

If that wasn’t tantalising enough, Signature Tours also have an average group size 22 people, so you’ve got a more intimate experience as you explore and you can get to know your guide and fellow travellers better.
