African safari FAQ'S 

How much does a night on safari cost?

This is a very common question, but one that is extremely difficult to answer. There are many factors that go into pricing one night on safari such as: the time of year (many lodges have seasonal pricing), the standard of accommodation, and what is included (e.g., game drives, alcohol, private guides, other activities). Our best advice is to speak to us, let us know your budget, your available timeframe and your bucket list and allow us to draw upon our expertise to hand-craft the best value safari into your itinerary for your individual requirements.

​

What are the best times of year to travel?

To simplify an answer to a complex question, we have to take into account, weather, temperature, wildlife viewing, and seasonal events in our selections. There are benefits of visiting countries in the off season (e.g., reduced rates, less crowded). In terms of a safari experience, the wet season might mean more chance of you getting wet, but it might also mean a better chance of getting up close to the wildlife and enjoying the green landscape.
 

Are children able to go on safari?

The minimum age limit required to stay at a safari lodge or camp is determined by the property itself and varies from place to place. Generally speaking, children must be over six years old to participate in game drives. Some lodges do not accept children under 12 years old. There are exceptions to this rule, particularly if you charter your own safari vehicle and private guide. Ask us – we know the minimum age requirements for safaris at each of the properties we feature.
 

Will I be able to see the great migration?

As nature is unpredictable, we are hesitant to give a guarantee, but we have been in the business for a long time and are your best resource for getting as close to the action as possible. We know the best river crossings, hot air balloon safaris, and mobile camps to make the Great Migration a memory that will last a lifetime.
 

What type of safari activities will I be doing?

Most clients expect traditional game drives, but some camps offer bush walks, canoe safaris, balloon safaris and flying safaris.
