Many of us dream about going on an Africa safari, but how much does it cost?
In this safari insights video, I break down the current costs of going on safari in 2025 and 2026. I’ll walk you through my personal Safari Cost Calculator, which I use to estimate trip prices based on travel style and level of luxury—whether you’re on an entry-level budget or planning a high-end getaway.
We’ll cover what’s typically included in a safari package (lodging, park fees, transport, meals, guides) and look at the key factors that influence pricing: (location, timing, season, and comfort level).
To give you real context, I share recent examples of client trips to Kenya, South Africa, and Zimbabwe, and show how accurately the calculator predicts the total cost.
I’ve traveled extensively across Eastern and Southern Africa, experiencing everything from no-frills budget trips to ultra-luxury safaris. This video is designed to give you a clear and realistic idea of what your safari might cost.
