Common questions

Is this a private safari?

Yes. This trip is run privately for you and the people travelling with you, so the pace and stops are yours to set.

How is the price calculated?

The price shown is per person, based on two people sharing a room or tent. Tell us your exact party size and travel dates and we will confirm a final figure - solo travellers and larger groups are priced differently.

When should I book?

For July to October travel, during the Great Migration, we recommend booking at least three months ahead as camps fill early. Outside that window, six to eight weeks is usually enough.
