Overview

Camping Safari Packages

The most affordable way to experience the parks. You'll stay at public campsites in shared or dome tents, with a group vehicle and a fixed multi-day route. Meals are simple but hearty, prepared by a camp cook who travels with the group. This suits budget-conscious travelers and younger groups who don't mind roughing it a little for the sake of the experience.

Lodge Safari Packages

Our most-booked tier. You move between permanent lodges each night, sleeping in en-suite rooms with electricity and hot water, while a private vehicle and guide handle the driving and game viewing. This is the sweet spot for most travelers — comfortable without being extravagant, and flexible enough to adjust the pace as you go.

Luxury Tented Packages

Premium canvas suites with private verandas, en-suite bathrooms, and full butler-style service, often positioned inside or right at the edge of the parks themselves. These packages put you closer to the wildlife than any lodge can, with fewer guests sharing the same viewing space.

Fly-In Safari Packages

Instead of long game-drive transfers between parks, small aircraft move you from airstrip to airstrip. This package type saves days of driving on longer itineraries and suits travelers with limited time or a preference for remote, harder-to-reach camps in the Southern Circuit.

Mixed and Custom Packages

Most of our clients don't fit neatly into one tier — they want a lodge safari with one or two luxury nights, or a camping safari with a fly-in leg to save time. We build custom combinations rather than forcing you into a fixed package.

How to Choose

Start with your budget ceiling, then decide how much comfort matters relative to how much time you have. If time is tight, fly-in options are worth the extra cost. If budget is tight, a lodge safari on the Northern Circuit still delivers excellent wildlife viewing without the premium price tag.
