4 Steps on how to book a Safari.
Step 01 – Choosing on what to do.
It is good to first come up with what you and your travel partners wish to do in East Africa. Just as you might have seen on our website East Africa has a lot to offer. A wildlife safari only, A safari combined with Mountain climbing, just hiking, beach extension, cultural encounters? Such questions should be answered within your mind before sending your inquiry because that makes it even easier to come up with a once for all programs.
Step 2 – Deciding your Safari cost.
Safaris by Wild Excursions & Safaris vary in prices and it is good to ask yourself first what you wish to spend on safari. What determines the price of a safari is a question many do not have an answer to. Well; how many persons are traveling with you is one attribute.
How many adults, how many children, the ages of the children, and how do you wish to share the rooms. Staying in Single rooms the higher the cost, but if you share double/twin rooms or triple rooms then the lower the cost of a safari. The biggest attribute to the cost of the safari is however the category/standard of accommodation. Do you want to stay in a Midrange, Luxury, or even super Luxury lodges and tented camps?.
Please note that safari tented camps are as costly as the lodges. By tented camps, we mean the Tented rooms with en suite flush toilets and shower bathrooms with the same amenities as the lodges.
The season of travel is also a major attribute to the cost of a safari. Basically we have:
Peak Seasons; December – March, June – October
High Season (Shoulder Season); November
Low Season(Green); April and May.
