Pricing and Planning

We specialise in tailor made, high quality African safaris away from the crowds. You may be going on safari for the first time and not know where to start, in which case we will spend as long as it takes to design an itinerary to suit your wishes. Or, if you are an experienced safari traveller looking for something different, we can advise you on new discoveries we have made through our own extensive travels. Even if you have only got a preliminary idea, we are very happy to talk to you at the earliest stage of planning.

It is possible to do a good safari for £3,000 (US$6,000) per person, but the average amount clients spent with us last year was just over £4,000 (US$8,000) per person. We have also planned trips which cost £6,000 (U$12,000) per person, to include club class flights and combinations of camps with high costs either due to exclusivity or remoteness. International flights, accommodation, meals and activities such as game drives and walks are all included in the price.

Once an itinerary is agreed we will give you a detailed quote. To confirm arrangements, we ask you to complete our booking form and return it with a 25% deposit. Final payment is due 10 weeks before departure. We accept payment by cheque, debit or credit card, or bank transfer.

Because we are able to negotiate good rates with our suppliers, you do not pay any more than if you booked the trip yourself. However, the advantages of using an experienced tour operator are:

Guarantee of financial security through our ATOL bonding with the CAA, and our AITOT bond. These bonds protect clients should either we, or our suppliers, cease trading.
Friendly advice from knowledgeable experienced Africa experts (see ‘Meet the Team’ for further details).
Hassle free arrangements including full itinerary planning, providing the most effective routings and avoiding unnecessary (and costly) stopovers.
A full emergency back up service, both from ourselves and through local representatives on the ground, in case you have any difficulties whilst you are away.
