Overview
A safari is full-on. You're up before dawn and in a vehicle most of the day, and by the seventh morning most people are more than ready to ditch the early alarm. Four nights on the coast afterwards isn't an indulgence. It's what makes the whole trip feel complete.
Is this trip for you?
Honeymooners, and anyone travelling far enough that a second flight makes sense.
This is a sample itinerary. You can change every part of it (the route, the pace, the camps, the length) and most people do! Customize this safari

Tailor-made pricing
So, what does it cost? We price every safari individually, because it really depends on when you travel, which camps you pick and how many of you there are. The same route in February and in August won't cost the same.
Tell us your dates and roughly what you have in mind, and we'll send you a full, itemised quote. Not a vague range, a real quote.
Priced per person, for a private trip. International flights aren't included.
