Understanding Safari Charges

The safari charges are divided into three parts:

Permit Charges: The cost of obtaining the necessary permits for the safari.

Guide Fee: A mandatory fee for the guide who will accompany you.

Vehicle Charges: The cost of hiring the Gypsy for the safari.

At The Safari Outlet, we provide complete transparency in pricing. For reserved zones, the price for a Gypsy remains constant, whether there are 2 guests or the maximum capacity of 6 guests. Resort pick-up and drop depend on the proximity of the zone to your hotel. If the zone is closer to your hotel, pick-up is usually offered at no additional cost. For zones further away, an extra charge may be levied.
