[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So is it like 20,000 a person, really? [/quote]

No.

Though like any other vacation, there is a wide range of prices and amenities. You can do it “cheap,” such as quite literally driving yourself through a park, though if you’re flying from the U.S., it’s never going to be that cheap with airfare. You also can really do it up and indeed spend $20,000 per person.

It’s all over the board. [/quote]

Is there any safety advantage to the higher end operators?[/quote]

I mean, again that will depend. It will also depend on where you’re going. I would try to solicit feedback on different providers here or elsewhere. Some have been running for decades, if not longer, and so have tons of reviews. I try to support more local operations, and in my experience in Tanzania and South Africa, there are dozens of smaller, locally operated companies that are fantastic. You can also book a larger hotel chain and then have that hotel help you book experiences, which may give you peace of mind.

However, you don’t need to go to the top of the line providers to be safe. A smaller operation is not going to be less safe or necessarily less good than a luxury experience. I have spent a lot of time in that part of the world and I’ve done so many types of safaris, from one where I drove myself through a small game park to another where we clamped and had a chef, and every single one was wonderful. They were also all perfectly safe. [/quote]
