FAQ
As a planning guide we price luxury camps from about USD 800 per person per night and ultra-luxury villas from about USD 1,280, both full board with game drives and park fees. A typical seven-night Serengeti and Ngorongoro journey at luxury level therefore lands around USD 5,600 per person before international flights.
June to October is the classic dry season with river crossings in the northern Serengeti from roughly July to October. January to March brings the calving season on the southern Serengeti plains and excellent predator action, with lower rates and fewer vehicles.
Seven to ten days is the sweet spot: two nights Tarangire or Lake Manyara, three nights Serengeti, one to two nights Ngorongoro Crater rim, then an optional three-night Zanzibar beach finish.
Our quotes include park and conservation fees, full-board accommodation, game drives in a private 4x4, and transfers. Light-aircraft hops between the Serengeti and Arusha or Zanzibar are quoted as a clearly listed line item so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Yes. A short flight links the Serengeti to Zanzibar, so most guests end the safari with three or four nights on the coast. We book both legs on one itinerary with a single point of contact.
Not every safari company. The safari company.
Anyone can send you a brochure. We build your journey with named stays, verified availability and every cost shown before you commit — then save the finest sighting for your final golden hour.
01
Your dates, pace, interests and budget shape the route. We order every stop logically and keep the strongest experience for the finish.
02
Your safari is not a shared departure. Leave when you are ready, stay longer at a sighting and adjust each day with your guide.
03
You see the proposed camps, transfers, flights, park fees, inclusions and exclusions before you decide—not just a headline price.
04
Suggested stays remain suggestions until checked. We verify the space for your dates before issuing the booking offer.
05
Change the route, number of nights, camp level or transport until the journey fits. Nothing is booked until you approve it.
06
The itinerary, quote and booking details stay aligned. A 50% deposit secures the approved trip, with the balance paid closer to travel.
