Our Inclusive Pricing
We customize itinerary prices to align with your unique adventure, taking into account factors such as trip type, group size, age, nationality, travel date, and service level. National park fees, which vary by age, nationality, and season, are also factored into the overall cost calculation. Explore the comprehensive guide below, complete with worked-out examples, to understand how we calculate costs
-
Per Person per Night Pricing
Each itinerary is priced on a per person per night basis, treating all day trips as one-night trips. For durations longer than one day, the number of nights equals the number of days minus one.
-
How to Determine Your Trip Cost
The total cost of your trip is calculated by multiplying the price per person per night by the total number of nights and adults (considering their nationality). If you have children, their cost is discounted.
Example Price Calculation

Multiple Nationalities Note
Consider a party with members of different nationalities (EA Citizens, Residents, and Non-EA Citizens). To calculate the total cost in such cases, you'll need to separate the costs for each nationality and then sum them up. For instance, if your party consists of two EA Citizens and one Resident, calculate the cost for the EA Citizens separately and the Resident separately, then add the totals. This approach ensures accurate pricing tailored to each individual's nationality. Enjoy your safari adventure!
-
Single Service Level Note
Please note that each booking request can only have one service level selected. If your party includes individuals who prefer different service levels, we recommend submitting separate booking requests for each service level preference. This ensures accurate pricing and a tailored experience for each participant.
