Whenever I see 'Luxury tent', that reminds me of the 'Fyre VIP accomodations ' 😂
Paid around $500 for 2 nights all-inclusive safari and lodging in eastern South Africa just a couple months ago. That's the standard price. Included van transport from Cape Town.

This one seems quite high, even for 2 people.
No, the elephants get to hunt you. LMAO. They will trample you while you sleep in your luxury tent.

This seems like a really good deal as a quick search on availability in May 2023 was pricing at over $600.00 per night per person, all inclusive. This deal kills that.

This kind of trip is highest on my wife's list. My only concern here is personal safety. Is this part of South Africa considered safe? It says there is an hour drive from the airport to the reserve...is it a safe trip? (by safe, I mean personal violence, not COVID protocols or being mauled by a lion).

Second this. The trick is to contact a US booking agency and have them set everything up with what you want and then YOU ASK for the name of the actual tour group who will be doing the tour, etc. Contact them directly. The price is usually 1/4 to 1/3 of the price. It's dirt cheap to go on safari. The US agencies really abuse the ones who can't do their own research.

I went with BokBus. Benjamin, our driver and guide, was amazing. Such a nice guy and stupidly knowledgeable about everywhere we went. Clearly had a great relationship with the folks that worked at and owned the 4-star game lodge we stayed in.

Each got their own chalet the 2nd night (first night you got a hotel room in a small inn just down the street from the ocean, right where the Indian and Atlantic Ocean meet).

3 days, meals included, transport included, wine tasting included, and more. $459 US per person.
