All-Inclusive Luxury African Safaris

An all-inclusive African safari package bundles luxury lodge accommodation, all meals and most drinks, twice-daily game drives with a private guide and tracker, park and conservation fees, and road or light-aircraft transfers between camps into a single per-person price. International flights, premium wines and gratuities are typically excluded.

Regional light-aircraft flights between reserves (for example Johannesburg to a Sabi Sand airstrip, or Maun to Okavango Delta camps) are included in every itinerary. International flights to Africa are quoted separately so guests can use miles, choose their preferred carrier, or fly from their home city.

We plan tailor-made safaris across Southern and East Africa: South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia, Tanzania, Kenya and Rwanda, plus Indian Ocean beach add-ons in the Seychelles, Mauritius and Mozambique.

A first safari works well at 7 nights in a single country. Multi-country trips combining a Big Five reserve with the Okavango Delta and Victoria Falls usually run 10 to 14 nights. Extended honeymoons or family journeys with an island add-on land at 14 to 21 nights.

Entry-level luxury safaris start around US$5,100 per person for 7 nights in South Africa. A 10-night Southern Africa package combining South Africa and Zimbabwe is priced from US$7,000 per person. Premium 17-night journeys across South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe start from US$13,997 per person, excluding international flights.

May to October is the dry season across Southern and East Africa — the strongest window for Big Five game viewing as animals concentrate around waterholes. The Great Migration river crossings in the Serengeti and Masai Mara peak from July to September. November to April is the green season: fewer vehicles, lower rates, dramatic skies and outstanding birding.

Yes. All lodges we represent are in managed private reserves or national parks with armed anti-poaching teams, and every game drive is led by a qualified guide and tracker. We are SATSA-bonded (Southern Africa Tourism Services Association), which financially protects guest deposits.

Every trip is custom-built. Our Silver, Gold and Platinum packages are starting points that we adjust for dates, lodge choice, group size, mobility needs and interests such as walking safaris, honeymoon privacy, family suites or photographic hides.

Yes. Honeymoon itineraries pair private-suite lodges (Royal Malewane, Singita, Londolozi, andBeyond) with an Indian Ocean island. Family safaris use lodges with dedicated child programmes, interleading suites and a minimum age of 6 for game drives.

Requirements depend on your passport and the countries visited. A yellow fever certificate is required when arriving in South Africa from a yellow fever country (including Kenya and Tanzania). Malaria prophylaxis is recommended for most safari regions. We provide a country-by-country brief with your itinerary.

A 20% deposit confirms your reservation. The balance is due 60 days before arrival. Payments are made by bank transfer or credit card in USD, GBP or ZAR. Cancellation terms follow the individual lodge policies and are shown before you pay.

For a first-time Big Five safari we recommend the Sabi Sand Game Reserve or Timbavati bordering Kruger National Park — traversing rights, off-road driving and leopard sightings are among the best in Africa. In East Africa, the Masai Mara and Serengeti deliver Big Five plus the Great Migration.
