Discover The Priciest Safari Experience

Recently, Go2Africa, a safari tour operator, announced the launching of what it calls "the world's most costly safari."

This once-in-a-lifetime trip for four will set you back more than $690,000, take place over the course of twenty-four days, and include activities like hot-air balloon flights, gorilla trekking, as well as your own movie crew.

Private planes will whisk you through Kenya, Victoria Falls, and Cape Town, as well as Volcanoes National Park, the Serengeti, and the white beaches of the Seychelles, so that you may experience the best that East and Southern Africa have to offer.

During your trip, you will have the opportunity to stay in some of the most luxurious lodgings that Africa has to provide. These will range from tented safari camps to riverfront treetop villas, beachside villas, and secluded spa retreats. The journey will follow the footsteps of Oprah Winfrey, Charlize Theron, and Justin Timberlake, as you will visit the same places as the celebrities did, including a private game reserve also known as Singita and a Cape Town premium boutique hotel called Ellerman House.

During the course of the tour, you will have the opportunity to participate in the conservation of each park as well as explore local culture and visit local initiatives that are famous for having a beneficial influence on the community, such as the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary, Alfajiri Foundation, and Maunga Village Primary School, among others.

In addition to the participation to the safari, Go2Africa will cover the whole cost of offsetting the carbon impact caused by your vacation.

"The Ultimate African Safari is a unique itinerary that we have spent years perfecting," explains Lee-Anne Kock, Head of Product at Go2Africa. According to Kock, the staff of local specialists has decades of experience working on the ground, and they have personally vetted every activity, location, and lodging before recommending them to the customers eager to participate in the safari experience. The team has put up a private and exclusive schedule, with carefully hand-picked activities at each stop. When guests visit each destination and get engaged in the community initiatives that make Africa such a dynamic and inviting place, they won't just see Africa; they'll feel the heart of Africa's culture in what is expected to be a once in a lifetime opportunity, the manager further added.

Ultimate Safari bookings starting at $172,545 per person are now available, in what is believed to be the most expensive safari experience in the world.
