Accommodation, game drives, meals, drinks, park fees and transfers can be included or charged separately. Read the details before comparing prices.
The big variables
Country, reserve, season, lodge style, length of stay and travel connections all affect the total. Private reserves and shared national-park trips are different products.
Budget for the whole journey
Include international flights, internal travel, pre- and post-safari stays, insurance and personal spending. Our $15K challenge is an allocation example, not a live price or offer.
