Frequently asked questions

Is a luxury safari worth the cost?

For most travellers, yes — luxury safari camps deliver expert guiding, exceptional food, privacy, and conservation impact that you cannot get from budget camping. The guide-to-guest ratio alone (typically 1:4 vs 1:12) transforms the experience.

What does a £6,500 luxury safari look like?

Seven nights across two camps (e.g. Masai Mara and Lake Naivasha), all-inclusive in entry-luxury tented suites, with private vehicle option, light-aircraft transfers, and Nairobi day-room — excluding international flights.

Are flights included?

International flights are typically additional. We arrange them on request — economy from £900pp, premium economy £1,800pp, business class £4,500–£6,500pp from London.

When should we book?

9–12 months ahead for the dry season (July–October) and Christmas/New Year. The best camps sell out a year ahead.

Can children travel?

Many camps welcome children from age 6 with a private vehicle and dedicated guide. Walking safari camps typically require age 16+.
