MAKE A NOTE OF THESE DETAILS
Time, dates, and cost: Decide on how long you can spend in Africa, your intended travel dates and an idea of your safari budget – if possible. This will help the specialist you speak with to narrow down options to those that meet your specific needs.
Recommended duration: As travel to Africa often requires an intercontinental long-haul flight, a minimum stay of nine to ten nights is recommended.
Accommodation range: Safari lodges and tented camps range between $300–$6,000 per person, per night, varying by luxury, exclusivity, and location. Most are found in national parks or private game reserves.
What’s included: Most lodges offer daily game drives in open vehicles, guided bush walks, and either half-board or full-board meal plans.
What’s not included: International flights, internal flights, visa fees, airport taxes, travel insurance, and staff gratuities.
Optional enhancements: Private, open vehicles with your own ranger, specialist guides with expertise in birds, big cats, botany, photography, chartered flights, helicopter, and hot-air balloon rides. In cities, chauffeur-driven limousines.
Luxury touches: Many premium lodges feature on-site wellness centers, boutique shops that offer curated collections of local art and safari apparel—ensuring that you go home with some inspiring mementoes as well as lasting memories.
