MORE QUESTIONS ANSWERED…

How long should my safari be if I’m traveling from UAE?

Most travelers choose 7–10 day itineraries that combine safari with beach or city add-ons, so the flight time feels worthwhile. Shorter 4–5 day express packages are also available for long weekends or Eid breaks.

Are safaris safe for families and children?

Yes. Many lodges cater specifically to families, offering malaria-free zones (e.g., Madikwe, Pilanesberg), child-friendly activities, and experienced guides who make the safari safe and enjoyable for kids.

What’s included in the price — are there hidden costs?

We provide transparent pricing. Packages include park fees, domestic flights, accommodation, meals, and transfers. We’ll explain additional costs such as tips or optional excursions upfront.

Visa requirements depend on nationality. Western passport holders are often visa-free. Indian and Pakistani nationals may require visas, and we assist with the process.
