Safaris

Group safari

A big family, a group of friends or a company trip: from ten people upwards we run the safari in several vehicles on the same route, and the price per person comes down. You book directly with us, with no agency in between.

  • Ten people or more
  • Several 4x4s on the same route
  • A lower price per person
  • Your dates, your route

The more of you, the less each pays

Some safari costs are shared by everyone travelling, such as the vehicle, the fuel and the guide. In a big group they are split between more people, so each person pays less. Park fees, on the other hand, are charged per person and do not change.

And because you book directly with us, there is no agency commission on top. The quote comes with the price per person, so it is easy to see.

Several vehicles, one trip

The group is split across several 4x4s, each with its own driver-guide, following the same route and staying at the same lodges. You meet up at the stops, at meals and in the evening, and during the day each vehicle can go at its own pace: some stay longer with the lions, others head back earlier.

Who it is for

Families with grandparents, parents and grandchildren; friends celebrating something; companies taking their team away. With children or older travellers, the days are shorter and you stop whenever you need to.

Book early

With many rooms needed, accommodation is the first thing to fill up. In July, August and over Christmas, the lodges inside the parks are booked months ahead: the sooner you tell us your dates, the more choice you have.

Frequently asked questions

How many people make a group safari?

We call it a group from ten people upwards. If there are fewer of you, the trip is still private, in a single vehicle.

Is this the same as a shared safari?

No. On a shared safari you travel with strangers to split costs, on fixed dates and a fixed route. Here the group is you: the vehicles are yours alone and the route is the one you choose. And if you are a small group, on a private safari the vehicle and guide are shared between you too.

Do we all travel in the same vehicle?

No: the group is split across several vehicles so that everyone is comfortable and has a good view. They follow the same route, and you meet up at the stops, at meals and at the lodge.

How much do you save travelling as a group?

It depends on how many of you there are, the time of year and the accommodation. The quote shows the price per person so it is easy to compare.

Do you organise company trips?

Yes: a safari for the whole team, with the route and the lodges that suit you best and, if you like, a few days in Zanzibar at the end.

Shall we build your safari?

Tell us how many of you there are and when you would like to go. We call you within 24 hours, and you book directly with your guide, with no agency in between.
