PP at 21:35. We paid about 15k for two of us, not including flights to and from the Africa (but did include bush flights) for 10days in 2021, including one night at Arusha Coffee Lodge, 3 nights at Sayari Camp in the Serengeti, 2 nights at The Highlands at Ngorongoro, and the rest at a villa in a resort in Zanzibar. This included pretty much everything but tips. This was in November, which is shoulder season so a bit cheaper (but I highly recommend it -- we had a guide and vehicle to ourselves at both resorts because the camps were not full and we saw every animal, including the big five). We wanted for nothing, and the hospitality was incredible (it was an anniversary trip and at every place they had incredible celebrations for us).

I was provided several options by the travel agent, and we did go with the most expensive options. But this was four years ago and I imagine things cost more now.

For luxury Africa, that actually is very cheap.

+1. I want to know what OP means by “luxury.” I have been to some of those places mentioned and they are very nice, you want for nothing, you have your own guide/car, etc— but I wouldn’t call them luxury. I’ve done several safari trips and it is typically in the $15k-$20k range for a great trip.

I also know people who have spent $50k-$100k. That’s what I expected by “luxury.” We’re talking private planes, several weeks with a chef in the bush, and so on.

OP didn’t say they wanted to kill beautiful endangered animals for fun from a safe distance with high powered weapons to assert their ever weakening manhood.

Governors is a bigger camp where you share safari vehicles with other people so there are timed excursions. Little Governor's is very small, private and you have a dedicated driver. You must fly in a small plane to Little Governors, then you cross a small river (with guards keeping the hippos away) and then you get there ... it is truly magnificent.

I also love Virunga, in the DRC, for gorilla trekking. The Virunga hotel is very high end - although not sure what the status is after the Rwanda incursion into Goma.

Country? Try continent!
