African Safari cost calculator

How much does an African safari really cost?

Safari packages are priced per person, per night, so the big number is easy to see. Bush flights, park fees, vaccines, malaria pills and daily tips for guides and camp staff are what people forget.

Ways to keep it down

  1. Travel in the shoulder season, when camp rates and park fees are lower.
  2. Ask whether park fees, bush flights and drinks are included before comparing packages.
  3. Carry small US bills for tips, since guides and camp staff are usually tipped in cash.
