What's Included in a Safari Price (vs What's Not)

Comparing safari quotes fairly requires knowing what's actually being compared — here's what's typically included, and what usually isn't, so you can compare like for like.

Usually Included

Accommodation for the stated nights, a private vehicle and driver-guide, park entrance fees, and meals as specified in the itinerary — these form the genuine core of most safari quotes.

Usually Not Included

International flights, visa costs, travel insurance, tips for guides and camp staff, alcoholic drinks, and personal expenses — worth confirming explicitly rather than assuming.

Sometimes Included, Sometimes Not

Domestic flights (if your itinerary includes one, e.g., to Zanzibar), laundry service, and bottled water vary genuinely by operator — always worth asking directly.

Why This Matters for Comparing Quotes

A lower headline price sometimes reflects fewer inclusions, not better value — a fair comparison means checking exactly what each quote actually covers, not just the bottom-line number.

How We Handle This

Every quote we send specifies exactly what's included and what isn't — ask us directly about anything unclear before booking.
