Book Flights to your Destination Country.
International flights are another important factor to consider when considering a safari to Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, or Tanzania. Because our visitors come from all over the world, this charge is not always included in your safari package.
If you have a certain budget and want to incorporate foreign flights, find out the cost of the airline tickets (to and from) so that the rest of your money may go towards activities and safari experiences. Remember that we are always there to assist you in navigating the waterways and selecting the best safari for you.
The cost of international flights varies depending on the airline and class, as well as the distance between the two locations.
Choose your Accommodation.
This is where you will stay for the length of your safari. There are several lodging alternatives available, including campgrounds, budget lodges, luxury hotels, homestays, Airbnb, and many others. Most famous tourist destinations in East Africa provide a wide range of accommodation options to suit all budgets and interests.
Depending on the level of luxury, accommodation accounts for a significant portion of the entire cost of a safari package. Budget-conscious travelers might save money by staying in basic or midrange accommodations.

Transport.
Following your arrival, you will travel to several locations to visit the sights you selected for your safari.
You can travel by road or by air to different sections of the country or between countries. The majority of domestic mobility occurs on the road since you can see a lot more even on the roadways. Domestic planes are available and can quickly link numerous towns and sites.
The cost of transportation decreases with a large group because a car transporting 5 passengers consumes almost the same amount of fuel and the money for the driver is also shared. This is why group safaris are less expensive than solo vacations. Our safari vehicles are professionally maintained and kept in excellent mechanical condition so that they can easily manage the open road as well as the African environment.
Plan for your Meals during your Safari.
Food is not only a source of energy and food, but it is also an excellent method to learn about foreign cultures. Meals are frequently included with your lodging or scheduled ahead of time if you will be stopping for breakfast or lunch on the route. Breakfast, lunch and dinner/supper are common mealtime concepts.
We frequently inquire about your food choices or limitations when we communicate with you and strive to finalize the arrangements of your safari. This is where you should provide any food allergies, preferences, and any other relevant information.
Snacks and roadside delicacies are not included in the cost of a safari and must be paid for using extra safari funds set aside for such unanticipated costs.
Activity and Park Entry Fees
The money paid for the various activities on your safari is referred to as entrance fees. It may be gorilla tracking, white water rafting, hot air balloon trips, fishing, or something else entirely. The most essential expense of any safari package is most likely the activity costs.
Some activities, such as gorilla trekking, have a restricted number of participants on any particular day, however, we can assist you with purchasing gorilla permits as well as paying for the other activities ahead of time. This means you just show up on time and concentrate on having fun with the events you’ve been looking forward to.
Carry extra cash for your Safari.
As you may expect, the extra safari cash is not included in the cost of the safari package.
This is the cash you carry for tiny conveniences such as wishing to tip an excellent waiter at a restaurant or buying a few fruits, bananas, and snacks.
The extra safari cash will also be used to purchase souvenirs that you may wish to bring home with you. Because foreign credit cards may not be accepted in many areas, particularly the isolated national park, we recommend that you exchange some money for local currency. The currency rate is favorable, and your guide may assist you in making such purchases as well as tipping your
servers.
Finally; The total cost of a safari is frequently a mix of all of these elements, and no two safaris are alike. There is no one price for an African safari, whether it is due to flights, entrance visas, or the activities you intend to participate in on your safari. This is why we create your safari based on your top interests budget, and timetable.
