5 day safari itineraries

Real routes, real camps, costed to the last park fee.

Private guide & vehicle

Never shared with strangers

Park fees in the price

Line-by-line proforma

Real camp availability

Checked before we quote

50% deposit secures it

Balance paid closer to travel

Five days is one region done properly, not three done badly. We keep you in a single park or conservancy cluster and use a flight rather than a road transfer in and out.

It suits a first safari, a long weekend from Nairobi, or a gorilla trek added to a work trip.

    A day-by-day route with named camps, flights, park fees and a clear total — plus alternatives if dates are tight.

    Change anything until it feels right. A 50% deposit holds your camps; nothing is booked until you say so.

Questions about 5 day safari itineraries

Is the itinerary really free?

Yes. You receive a costed, day-by-day itinerary with no payment and no obligation. You only pay once you decide to secure the trip.

What does the quoted price include?

Accommodation, meals as listed, your private guide and vehicle, park and conservancy fees and the transfers or flights shown. Every inclusion and exclusion is listed line by line on your proforma.

How do I secure my safari?

A 50% deposit holds your camps and flights. The balance is due closer to departure, and we send reminders well ahead of the due date.

Can I change the itinerary?

Anything can change before you book: camps, number of nights, the order of parks, adding a beach finish or switching between luxury and ultra-luxury.

Is it a group tour?

No. Every journey is private — your own guide and vehicle, leaving when you are ready and stopping when you want.

Every Perch Africa journey is built from scratch.

Tell us your dates, your travelling party and your budget and we will come back with a costed itinerary, real camp availability and a clear price — no templates.

Not every safari company. The safari company.

Planned around you. Priced in the open. Built to end on a high.

  1. 01

    Built around you, never pulled from a template

    Your dates, pace, interests and budget shape the route. We order every stop logically and keep the strongest experience for the finish.

  2. 02

    A private guide and vehicle

    Your safari is not a shared departure. Leave when you are ready, stay longer at a sighting and adjust each day with your guide.

  3. 03

    Named stays and a costed day-by-day plan

    You see the proposed camps, transfers, flights, park fees, inclusions and exclusions before you decide—not just a headline price.

  4. 04

    Availability checked before we call it confirmed

    Suggested stays remain suggestions until checked. We verify the space for your dates before issuing the booking offer.

  5. 05

    Refine the trip before you commit

    Change the route, number of nights, camp level or transport until the journey fits. Nothing is booked until you approve it.

  6. 06

    One clear path from idea to departure

    The itinerary, quote and booking details stay aligned. A 50% deposit secures the approved trip, with the balance paid closer to travel.
