THE SHORT VERDICT
Season first
A first safari fails when the calendar is wrong—or when transfers eat the week. We design around wildlife timing and flight hops.
Three starting shapes
- Kenya classic (8–10 nights): Masai Mara conservancy camp (e.g. Angama Mara or andBeyond Kichwa Tembo), with optional Amboseli or Laikipia.
- Tanzania migration or calving (9–12 nights): Serengeti fly-in camps plus Ngorongoro when crater fees fit the budget.
- Botswana water (8–10 nights): Okavango or Linyanti concessions—quieter, costlier, fly-in only.
Starting price: nightly camp rates span hundreds to thousands of dollars per person—confirm live for season and camp.
