What goes into the cost of a safari?
It’s a question worth asking, because the price of a safari isn’t simply paying for a beautiful room in the African bush
Check out slide 4-5 and 6!.
Behind the scenes, there are experienced guides and safari vehicles, conservation and park fees, remote logistics, food and supplies, transfers, camp staff and so much more.
And importantly, not all safari prices are comparing the same thing.
A £5,000 safari and a £10,000 safari may look very different once you understand what’s included, where you’re staying, how you’re travelling and how your time in the bush is structured.
That’s why when I create a tailor-made safari, I don’t just look at the price.
I look at what you’re getting for your investment and whether it delivers the experience you actually want.
Because the right safari isn’t necessarily the cheapest.
And it isn’t necessarily the most expensive.
It’s the one that’s right for you.
