Carolyn and Florence travelled to South Africa, Zambia and Botswana
Rob, we just wanted to let you know that we had such a wonderful and exciting time in S Africa, Botswana. We enjoyed the camps we stayed at, each offering a different perspective of Africa. We can’t sneeze at 6 leopard sitings, cheetahs, lions, giraffe’s mating and the list goes on and on and on. Nottens and Shinde were especially special. Chase, at Nottens is an amazing person. So knowledgable and you could tell that he enjoys his life as it is in his part of the world. Our accomodations were EXCELLENT!…..And the food! Oh my! SO DELICIOUS! We shall never forget such a wonderful experience and we both thank you so much for taking care of every detail. Florence and I will be contacting you about a return trip in 2014.

Pricing
South Africa Prices
South Africa is a hugely diverse tourist destination and the price range for holidays equally wide. If you are looking for value for money, then bed and breakfast properties can be fairly inexpensive and a week touring the Cape region may cost from £1500.00 per person including car hire and international flights from the UK. Typically, expect to pay from £3200.00 for a two week self drive holiday which includes 3 nights on safari. Longer self-drive itineraries, wildlife safaris, exclusive or luxurious hotel options, combinations with other countries, beach extensions and upgraded airline seats will all add to the cost. Some top end hotels and safari properties are extremely expensive and combining a number of these properties together with business class flights can lead to costs of £10,000.00 per person and above.
We appreciate that going on safari in Africa is an expensive holiday, but we are always conscious of providing ‘value for money’. Our selection of properties for any itinerary is based entirely upon those which we feel will most closely match your requirements, whether that be budget driven or experience driven. It is sometimes very difficult to differentiate between a top-quality safari property, and one which offers a lesser experience. Accordingly, a safari which offers value for money should not necessarily be confused with a ‘cheap’ safari.
If you are planning your first safari, we suggest you look at our Planning a Safari section. We do not offer mainstream package tours (minibus tours) or cheap camping trips.
