Is it cheaper to book directly instead of through us?
No, booking through us is often cheaper than booking directly. Thanks to our buying power, we negotiate discounted rates that are typically lower than standard lodge or hotel prices. Plus, you get local expertise and personalised support at no additional cost.
Many people assume booking directly with a lodge or hotel is cheaper, but this isn't the case. Because we negotiate bulk discounts with our partners, our rates are often slightly lower than the normal prices offered to direct-booking guests.
Unlike some other operators, we don't charge hidden fees or credit card surcharges. This means you can benefit from our local expertise and let us handle all the arrangements for your safari—saving you time, effort, and even money.
Another key advantage of booking with us is the peace of mind that comes with having a dedicated team on your side. If anything goes wrong during your stay—whether it's a booking error or an issue at the lodge—you can rely on us to step in and resolve it on your behalf.
We put together a guide on the key points to consider before booking a safari called Comparing Safaris: A Guide to Making Informed Choices.
