1. Olive Grove Guest House
Namibia, Windhoek
Olive Grove Guest House is a small, upmarket guesthouse close to Windhoek city center. Catering to the needs of the discerning traveler, each of the en-suite bedrooms features a large veranda with tables and chairs for al fresco dining. The tastefully decorated lounge with fireplace and open plan kitchen creates a homey feel, while the sun lounge, plunge pool and tranquil garden invite you to unwind and relax under Namibia’s open skies. A guest computer is available to check emails and stay in touch with family and friends and complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the house.
2. Wilderness Little Kulala
Namibia, Sossusvlei
Little Kulala is the closest luxury camp to the remarkable Sossusvlei dunes. The climate-controlled, thatched “kulalas” (Swahili for “resting place”) merge seamlessly into the timeless desert landscape. Each kulala has exquisite fittings and fixtures, both indoor and outdoor shower, innovative bleached deck with a private plunge pool and a rooftop “skybed” for romantic stargazing. The main lodge features an elegant entertainment area which includes a library, wine cellar, craft boutique, lounge and dining areas. The extensive use of neutral colors, gorgeous textures and natural light reproduce the soothing pastel tones of the desert. The overall mood and feel is cool, serene, organic and sheltering.
3. Wilderness Desert Rhino Camp
Namibia, Damaraland
Desert Rhino Camp lies amongst rolling, rocky hills within the one-acre Palmwag Concession. As part of a collaborative effort with the Save the Rhino Trust, the camp has been instrumental in the preservation of these rare, desert adapted black rhino. Accommodations are in raised Meru-style canvas tents with front verandas to take in the magnificent vistas of the surrounding desert and Etendeka Mountains. Each tent features an en-suite bathroom with a hand basin, flush toilet and shower. The comfortable tented dining and lounge area offers uninterrupted views of the desert and mountains. Evening meals are taken around the fire pit, in front of the lapa (thatched roof supported by wooden poles) and the plunge pool welcomes you to refresh after a game drive or walk. Activities include game drives, rhino tracking on foot or by vehicle, guided nature walks, and birding.
4. Wilderness Hoanib Valley Camp
Namibia, Hoanib Valley
Tucked deep in Namibia’s remote Kaokoland, Wilderness Hoanib Valley Camp is an intimate, eco-friendly retreat of just eight tents blending into the stark desertscape. Surrounded by rugged hills and sweeping valleys, the camp offers a light footprint without compromising on comfort. The main lounge, dining area, fire pit, and pool deck open to breathtaking views, while evenings under the star-filled skies capture the essence of wilderness living. Activities range from nature walks to scenic drives in search of desert-adapted elephants, giraffes, and even lions, with full-day excursions revealing the fascinating landscapes of the Skeleton Coast.
African safaris captivate many as a bucket-list experience, but the wide-ranging price points for a safari adventure can be perplexing. Why is one safari itinerary priced at $5000 and another one at over $50,000? The answer lies in a myriad of factors that shape the safari experience - from accommodation and transportation to itinerary inclusions, the level of luxury and exclusivity.
Get up close and personal with wildlife with expert safari guides.
Group vs. Individual Safaris:
Customize your safari experience to match your preferences, whether it's an exclusive photo safari or a unique adventure of your choosing.
The first question to ask is whether it's a group safari or a custom-made individual itinerary. Group safaris take advantage of shared costs but offer limited flexibility to accommodate diverse preferences. On the other side, custom-made luxury safaris are designed specially around your unique interests and preferences. You can travel at your own pace and make changes as you go.
Privacy and Exclusivity:
Enjoy unparalleled comfort in luxury lodges and camps located in the finest areas, where wildlife is right at your doorstep.
Consider the expected level of privacy and exclusivity. Luxury safaris often feature exclusive lodges in less crowded places that accommodate a very small number of guests. Not only does it ensure privacy, but it offers a more immersive experience, often with wildlife at your doorstep.
Transportation:
Arrival experience at Sarova Mara Camp
Modes of transportation between locations and from the airport to the lodge influence the price. Land transfers are significantly cheaper than air transfers but take longer. In contrast, air transfers by bush plane or helicopter save time, allowing you to maximize your safari experience. For instance, the flight from Nairobi to Samburu typically takes about 1 to 1.5 hours, whereas a road transfer takes approximately 5 to 6 hours.
Level of Service:
Luxury safaris offer personalized service at every step, from luxury transfers to private tours and exclusive experiences, along with 24/7 concierge support and many other services ensuring an elevated and worry-free experience.
Accommodations:
Inspired by the romance of yesteryear, Somalisa Camp in Hwange offers exquisite features, including a copper slipper-style bathtub and endless vistas across the sweeping plains.
Luxury safaris boast opulent lodges, private villas, and exclusive camps. High-end accommodations come with lavish amenities, generous inclusions, gourmet dining, and top-notch service. Highlights include on-site wine cellars, museums, art galleries, luxurious sleep-out options, spa and wellness experiences, and sometimes the services of a private butler and chef, to name just a few..
Itinerary Inclusions:
Drift gracefully in a hot air balloon over the world's oldest desert, the majestic Namib.
Examining what is included in the price is vital, as it determines the overall value of the safari. Budget safaris may have fewer inclusions and unique experiences, whereas luxury safaris encompass a comprehensive package with activities like hot air balloon rides, private bush dinners, and guided walking safaris. And don’t forget about the “hidden” costs, such as taxes and park entrance fees.
