[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can absolutely schedule the trip yourself. Or go directly to the safari provider and they will organize it for you. I had reached out to a travel agency and they quoted me something stupid over $100K for my family of 5. No thank you. I ended up doing it myself (utilizing the same hotels/lodges) and we paid $32,496 including all hotels, int'l and domestic flights, food, park costs, safari lodge, etc. and it was a luxury lodge. We did rent a car and drive SA ourselves, which was great.

Contact the lodge directly and skip the third party travel agents. You'll save thousands.

We used More - https://www.more.co.za
I also spoke to https://africanbushcamps.com if you're interested in supporting an African owned company.

Enjoy!

Will add that our trip was close to 3 weeks and we did more than safari - CapeTown, Hermanusm, Stellenbosh, etc. so it was only 3-4 days of safari. Extended safari days can be a bit much. You spend 3 hrs on a morning drive sitting in the vehicle. Break for lunch. Then another 3 hrs sitting in vehicle in the afternoon. There's not a lot of physical activity for you so keep that in mind when planning. [/quote]
