Vietnam - ohh so many ways to enjoy you

Vietnam — Many Ways to Travel

Vietnam is one of those places that keeps drawing us back. We’ve been travelling here for many years, and each return offers something slightly different – not because the country changes dramatically, but because the way you choose to move through it shapes what you notice.

At Creative Arts Safaris, Vietnam has become a place where we explore more than one way of travelling. The destination stays the same, but the focus shifts.

One of our core Vietnam journeys is our longer full-immersion textiles tour. This is a deep dive into Vietnamese textile traditions, taking us into weaving villages and workshops where we spend extended time with artisans working in silk, cotton, brocade, and natural dyes. We look closely at process, pattern, and continuity, and how these skills are still part of everyday life. There’s a strong sense of lineage here – grandmothers, mothers, and daughters all playing a role – and the time we spend allows those relationships and stories to unfold naturally.

Alongside this, we also offer tutor-led Vietnam journeys, which sit as a separate category. These tours use Vietnam as the setting for a specific creative focus led by a visiting tutor. Vietnamese textiles, materials, and artisan workshops become the backdrop for a guided creative response, rather than the subject of a full cultural deep dive. Each of these journeys is fully hosted by our team, supporting the tutor-led workshops while Vietnam unfolds around us as the setting and source of inspiration.

We also run Vietnam journeys focused on art and sketching. Drawing on the road changes how you experience a place. You slow down, sit longer, and begin to notice rhythm, structure, and everyday moments that might otherwise pass by. Travelling with a skilled tutor offers guidance and confidence, but the place itself remains central.

What all of our Vietnam tours share is an unhurried pace. We don’t rush from highlight to highlight. We build in time to wander, to work, to talk, and to simply be where we are. Vietnam rewards that approach.

Looking ahead, we’re continuing to expand how we travel here.

Food will soon become part of our Vietnam mix, with journeys focused on cooking with locals, understanding flavour, and translating those experiences back into home kitchens. Ceramics is also on the horizon – time spent in workshops, learning processes, getting hands dirty, and allowing making to unfold alongside travel.

Each Vietnam journey offers a different way in. Some people are drawn to deep textile immersion, others to tutor-led creative practice, sketching, food, or clay. There’s no right choice – just different ways of engaging, depending on how you’d like to spend your time and what you’d like to take home with you.



Vietnam continues to be a place where creativity and daily life sit comfortably side by side. We’re looking forward to exploring it in even more ways in the years to come.
