HOW WE PRICE YOUR SAFARI

 

Every safari we plan is handcrafted—never pulled from a shelf or pieced together from a template. We start with a blank canvas and design your journey in harmony with the seasons, wildlife movements, and the kind of experience you’re hoping to have.

Because everything is custom-built, we offer your trip as a complete package rather than listing prices for each individual lodge or activity. Behind the scenes, we purchase all accommodations, guiding, and ground services at wholesale rates—and our wholesale partnerships and supplier agreements contractually require us to offer a full itinerary rather than break down the pricing for each element separately.

 It’s a bit like buying a beautifully made meal or a well-built home—you’re paying for the whole, not for each ingredient or nail.

That said, we’re always transparent where we can be. We’re happy to break out internal flight costs, and we pass along all park and conservancy fees at cost, with no markup. These fees go directly to local national parks and community-run conservancies—helping to fund anti-poaching patrols, habitat restoration, and initiatives that uplift the communities who live alongside wildlife.

At our core, we believe travel should be a force for good. That’s why we only work with lodges and partners who are deeply invested in conservation, community empowerment, and regenerative tourism. When you travel with us, you’re not just exploring Africa’s wild places—you’re helping to protect them.

So while you may not see a line-by-line invoice, know that every element of your journey has been thoughtfully chosen to reflect not only your preferences—but also our shared value

dive into the numbers

(Note: this is for your *Safari Nights… Nights in the City or at the Beach are typically much less costly)

 

Take the estimated Per Safari Night, Per Person Rate Range… For Example $850- $1,200 Per Person, Per Safari Night,

Multiply it by the # of Nights in Africa, AND by the # of People in Your Party You are Paying For.

VOILA!

So Per Person the range would be for an average 9 Night Safari: $7,650-$10,800 Per Person for the Trip

THUS $850-$1,200 Per Safari Night x 9 Nights x 4 People =

$30,600-$43,200 Estimated TOTAL Cost for Your Party’s Safari (or slightly less because you’ll most certainly have some in the city)

 

*WHAT MAKES NIGHTS ON SAFARI MORE EXPENSIVE? The more remote the area, the higher the operating costs, as every single item needs to be either flown in or be transported hundreds of miles by car. If a lodge is sustainable and off the grid, this adds even further costs. Lodges need to invest in generators, solar systems and expensive satellite systems.
