The honest number

What a bed actually costs

Per person, per night, from the camps we actually book. This is the single biggest lever on the price of your safari — bigger than the route, bigger than the season.

Ultra-luxury

$1,100–$2,800 per person, per night

Median $1,650 · from 11 properties

Mid-range

$380–$480 per person, per night

Comfortable tented camps and lodges — private bathroom, hot water, proper beds. Where most people land.

Median $430 · from 2 properties — a small sample, so treat this band as indicative

Luxury

$520–$1,100 per person, per night

Premium camps: plunge pools, private guides, exceptional food, and often far fewer vehicles around you.

Median $770 · from 12 properties

The animals do not know what you paid. The same park, the same guide and the same leopard cost roughly two and a half times more from a luxury camp than a mid-range one. If your budget is tight, this is the lever to pull — and you lose none of the wildlife by pulling it.
