What moves the price
What pushes a VIP safari price up?
Shared camp → reserved seating → private camp. Each step up costs more but removes other guests from your evening.
BBQ buffet → set menu → multi-course fine dining. The Luxury safari’s kitchen is the biggest single cost driver.
Private 4x4 (all levels) vs specialty vehicles (Luxury). Vehicle upgrades on the Private and Luxury levels are available on request.
Overnight and sunrise add-ons extend the experience and the price. Evening safaris are the base; overnight glamping is a separate booking.
Private setups are priced per setup, so per-person cost falls as your group grows. A private safari for 8 can cost less per head than a premium shared camp.
High season (November–March) is full-price; summer evenings carry reduced rates at most shared camps. See the deals page.
What is never included
What is not in the price
Alcohol (available for purchase at licensed venues), quad bike and dune buggy rides (optional add-ons priced at the camp), and gratuities for your driver and host. Child prices (typically 20–30% less) apply from ages 3–11; under-3s are usually free.
