Choosing Your Safari
- What level of luxury am I looking for? Am I happy with a luxury tented camp or a mobile migration camp, or do I want a luxury lodge?
- How much am I willing to spend? As a good rule of thumb, you should expect to pay around $800/person/day out on safari, and $500/person/day in Zanzibar.
- How long do I want to travel for? We generally recommend 10-12 days as the optimal time for a safari and beach trip. This allows you to visit multiple safari destinations, have a good amount of time on the beach, and stay in beautiful luxury accommodation to maximise the experience.
- Do I want to see the migration? If you want to see the migration - in particular a river crossing - then you'll want to travel in August and be in the north of the Serengeti. The camps and lodges here are generally more expensive, so if the migration isn't a priority for you there is exceptional safari in Central Serengeti.
- Where do I want to be in Zanzibar? If you value privacy and exclusivity, we recommend staying on the eastern coastline where there are a number of stunning private villas and lodges (but the beaches are tidal). If tideless beaches are important to you, we recommend the northern tip of Zanzibar where there are some fantastic 5* beachfront hotels.
