Art Experiences - African Beauty - Timeless Africa Safaris

Zeitz Mocaa

Timeless Africa Art Experiences aligns with South Africa’s top museums, art galleries, artists and prominent persons to create custom-designed specialist travel at the highest level for global institution, networks, patrons and collectors such as the Tate, The Israel Museum, Guggenheim and Centre De Pompidou. We are the leading local specialists in bespoke art programmes in South Africa and have been appointed as one of the official travel specialists for the opening of the Zeitz MOCAA Museum in 2017.

Every art itinerary we create is customised to the individual needs and interests of each guest or group. Next September, our travel programmes will centre around the opening ceremonies of this already internationally recognised jewel of the art world. When it comes to art experiences, we believe that nothing should be standardised and we will be working with directors, curators and development staff to design your ideal itinerary and give you bespoke experiences.

Part of what makes our experiences so special is that we deliver access to both famous and emerging artist studios through the strong relationships we have developed over the years. Our guests will enjoy studio visits and intimate discussions with well-respected artists, gallerists, curators, collectors and leaders in the Art World.

Beyond exclusive access to the Zetiz MOCAA Museum, we will also arrange private curator-led visits to well-known South African galleries such as The Goodman Gallery, Stevenson, SMACgallery, Everard Read, Gallery MOMO, WhatIfTheWorld, to name a few. We can plan exclusive lunches and dinners in the residences of private collectors, showcasing their outstanding collections. We also have the network to provide extended itineraries that could include the likes of the Johannesburg Art Fair, a Big 5 safari or a visit to any of our neighbouring countries or islands, such as Botswana, Mozambique, Kenya, Tanzania or Zanzibar.

To ensure that we can create your ideal trip and secure your first choice in bookings and activities, the planning process should begin in 2017. We will closely consider your wishes and, after discussing add-on possibilities and your group profile, we will respond within a week with an outline and proposed itinerary.

We look forward to hearing from you,
The Timeless Africa Art Experiences team
