How far in advance should I book my safari?

For the best availability and most seamless experience, we recommend booking your African safari 9–12 months in advance—especially if you’re traveling during peak seasons like June–October or December–January. Luxury lodges and boutique camps in popular destinations such as Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, and South Africa often book out early. Planning ahead ensures access to the most exclusive properties and personalized itinerary options.

What’s included in the safari package price?

At Safari Concierge Co., each safari is tailored to your preferences, but most packages include accommodation at luxury lodges or camps, all meals, daily game drives, park fees, internal transfers, and local flights where applicable. Many properties also include wine, cocktails, and laundry service. Your trip quote will clearly outline what’s included so there are no surprises—just a seamless, elevated experience from start to finish.e.

Do you customize itineraries or offer set packages?

Every journey we plan is completely bespoke. Rather than offering fixed packages, we design tailor-made itineraries around your interests, timeline, and travel style. Whether you dream of tracking the Great Migration in the Serengeti, sipping wine in South Africa’s Cape Winelands, or relaxing on a private beach in Zanzibar, we curate every detail to create a journey that’s uniquely yours.

When is the best time to visit East or Southern Africa?

Africa offers incredible wildlife viewing year-round, but the best time depends on your destination and interests.

East Africa (Kenya & Tanzania): June to October for the Great Migration and clear game-viewing conditions.

Southern Africa (Botswana, Zambia, South Africa): May to October for dry, cooler weather and excellent wildlife sightings.

If you prefer fewer crowds and lush landscapes, the green season (November–March) offers a beautiful alternative, with exceptional photography opportunities and lower rates at many lodges.

How do I start the booking process?

Simply reach out via our inquiry form or email, and we’ll schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss your ideal safari experience. From there, we craft a customized itinerary with lodge recommendations and pricing. Once you’re ready to move forward, we’ll secure your reservations and handle every detail, from flights to visa guidance—so planning feels effortless.
