What will an African Safari cost?
For cost of specific tours, please see the Suggested Tours and Prices page. I know that you have been scared
off by the $10,000 price tag per person from some tour companies
offering a
Big Five South African safari, but that is not the case with
Oasis Africa Safaris, and it should not be with any tour company. Many
African safaris are sold through a series of travel agents who
each
take a big chunk of your money (sort of a Big Five all their own). With
my African safaris, you buy from me. What is included? I can include
anything you want; I can calculate the total
cost of your trip
including all airfare, transportation, all fees, tips, food, night or
day drives with park rangers...anything. Recently, I have had the vast
majority of my clients using airline miles
to buy their ticket. And
this can often include in-country flights.
I
have had to increase my prices due to the high cost of fuel and the
increased costs of traveling in Southern Africa. The cost of fuel
is
about $7.50 per gallon as of January 2012. The
cost of
accommodation will also increase as of November 1. I know
that
many people will put off a vacation such as this, but why not look
into it now. I have no hidden charges, and I will never
increase
my
quote to you unless you request changes. When the price of fuel
goes
up, I do not put on a surcharge.
When
we travel outside of South Africa, the cost is usually more. I tailor
make most every tour to what you want to experience. Few companies do
this, and no other company will offer such a
boutique operation for the
price I will quote. I can figure a tour for just one person, or I can
figure it for over fourteen people. It won't take very long for me to
give you an approximate cost just
so that you know the money we are
talking.
...
It is difficult to compare my prices with other companies
because, most often, you get so much more with me. You will have a
dedicated guide (me) who will not only plan your South Africa
safari
and trip, but will guide you. I will guide you all the way (though
usually from the airport). If we go from Kruger Park to
Hluhluwe-Umfolozi, I will be the driver. If we go to the Kalahari, I
will
be there with you. In some cases, to save you money, I will send
you to Cape Town (possibly to my friend, Danny) or someplace else where
I know you do not, necessarily, need my skills.

South Africa's motto is "A world in one country," and it certainly
is that. It offers an endless variety of exotic African safari
adventures sure to fulfill your dreams and desires.
