African safaris captivate many as a bucket-list experience, but the wide-ranging price points for a safari adventure can be perplexing. Why is one safari itinerary priced at $5000 and another one at over $50,000? The answer lies in a myriad of factors that shape the safari experience - from accommodation and transportation to itinerary inclusions, the level of luxury and exclusivity.
Get up close and personal with wildlife with expert safari guides.
Group vs. Individual Safaris:
Customize your safari experience to match your preferences, whether it's an exclusive photo safari or a unique adventure of your choosing.
The first question to ask is whether it's a group safari or a custom-made individual itinerary. Group safaris take advantage of shared costs but offer limited flexibility to accommodate diverse preferences. On the other side, custom-made luxury safaris are designed specially around your unique interests and preferences. You can travel at your own pace and make changes as you go.
Privacy and Exclusivity:
Enjoy unparalleled comfort in luxury lodges and camps located in the finest areas, where wildlife is right at your doorstep.
Consider the expected level of privacy and exclusivity. Luxury safaris often feature exclusive lodges in less crowded places that accommodate a very small number of guests. Not only does it ensure privacy, but it offers a more immersive experience, often with wildlife at your doorstep.
Transportation:
Arrival experience at Sarova Mara Camp
Modes of transportation between locations and from the airport to the lodge influence the price. Land transfers are significantly cheaper than air transfers but take longer. In contrast, air transfers by bush plane or helicopter save time, allowing you to maximize your safari experience. For instance, the flight from Nairobi to Samburu typically takes about 1 to 1.5 hours, whereas a road transfer takes approximately 5 to 6 hours.
Level of Service:
Luxury safaris offer personalized service at every step, from luxury transfers to private tours and exclusive experiences, along with 24/7 concierge support and many other services ensuring an elevated and worry-free experience.
Accommodations:
Inspired by the romance of yesteryear, Somalisa Camp in Hwange offers exquisite features, including a copper slipper-style bathtub and endless vistas across the sweeping plains.
Luxury safaris boast opulent lodges, private villas, and exclusive camps. High-end accommodations come with lavish amenities, generous inclusions, gourmet dining, and top-notch service. Highlights include on-site wine cellars, museums, art galleries, luxurious sleep-out options, spa and wellness experiences, and sometimes the services of a private butler and chef, to name just a few..
Itinerary Inclusions:
Drift gracefully in a hot air balloon over the world's oldest desert, the majestic Namib.
Examining what is included in the price is vital, as it determines the overall value of the safari. Budget safaris may have fewer inclusions and unique experiences, whereas luxury safaris encompass a comprehensive package with activities like hot air balloon rides, private bush dinners, and guided walking safaris. And don’t forget about the “hidden” costs, such as taxes and park entrance fees.
