Free to quote, chart and republish with a link back. The CSV carries the same rows as this page, stamped with the edition.
Each price is the local rate card applied to the measured distance and drive time, with an airport pickup fee where it applies and a minimum fare, shown as a low–high range. The full method, with every number we use, is on How we estimate prices and times.
The edition changes each quarter, and whenever a route or a rate changes in between.
Every safari is dispatched in a purpose-built wildlife vehicle with a pop-up observation roof, HF/VHF radio, dual fuel tanks, and rear cargo cage for soft-sided duffel bags.
Extended-wheelbase Toyota Land Cruiser 78/79 series with pop-up wildlife roof, fridge/cooler box, inverter charging ports, and low-range 4WD for Masai Mara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro tracks.
Custom 4WD Toyota HiAce safari tour van with full pop-up game-viewing roof. Ideal for dry-season Rift Valley lakes, Amboseli, and Tarangire circuits at a lower daily charter rate.
Scheduled Cessna Caravan hop from Wilson (WIL) or Arusha (ARK) directly onto the reserve dirt airstrip, paired with an open-sided 4x4 camp game viewer for morning and afternoon drives.
All safari vehicles guarantee a window seat for every guest and a pop-up roof hatch for 360-degree wildlife photography. Rigid hard-shell suitcases do not fit rear safari cargo cages; pack 15 kg soft-sided duffel bags.
Bush camps, DMCs, and international travel advisors rely on our 4x4 fleet for white-label safari circuits, airstrip meet-and-greets, and inter-camp transfers.
