Costs

The cost of a private guided safari varies considerably depending on the size of the group, the itinerary and accommodations selected, and the air charters required.

Very roughly a two week private guided safari in 2010 staying in a variety of luxury accommodation, including a stay in a luxury lodge, a couple of permanent camps and a stay in a private mobile camp, would cost from about $14,500 per person for a group of twelve people, to $16,000 per person for a group of four people.

All our safari rates include accommodation, meals, park fees, game drives in custom-built 4-wheel-drive safari vehicles, professional guide costs, most drinks and laundry when in private camp. All our safaris our led by a private Wilderness Africa guide, and even in the few camps where shared vehicles are the norm, we endeavour to ensure you have your own private vehicle. Our rates do not include gratuities or the cost of air charters.

PLEASE NOTE: We do not organise set departures (“open” safaris with a fixed itinerary that one, two or more people may join).
All our safaris are custom designed to suit the specific requirements of the group (such as age and interests). Because we are contacted once a group has been formed, all group members usually know each other, and all group members know at least one other person in the group before planning the safari. These safari groups often consist of one or two families, or a group of friends. Group size can be anything from one or two people to sixteen people, or very occasionally more.
