Travel FAQ

When is the best time to travel to Southern Africa?

The best time depends on your preferences. If you want to see the lush greenery and enjoy bird watching, the summer months (November to March) are ideal, although it can be hot and humid. For game viewing and cooler weather, winter (May to September) is best. Temperatures during summer range from 25°C to 35°C (77°F to 95°F), while winter temperatures range from 10°C to 25°C (50°F to 77°F).

If I'm unsure where to go, how do I choose a destination?

If you're unsure where to go, start by thinking about what kind of experience you want. Do you dream of dramatic landscapes, abundant wildlife, cultural immersion, or ultimate relaxation? Safari Gals can guide you through this process, offering expert advice tailored to your interests, priorities, and travel style. Whether it's the sweeping deserts of Namibia, the lush waterways of the Okavango Delta, or the vibrant cities and vineyards of South Africa, we curate recommendations based on your preferences. With our personalized approach, we'll help you find the perfect destination that resonates with your vision for an unforgettable journey.

What type of wildlife can I expect to see on a luxury safari?

You can expect to see a diverse range of wildlife, often in exclusive and pristine settings. This includes Africa's iconic Big Five: lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalo. You'll also encounter cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, hippos, and countless antelope species. Depending on the location, you might see rare species like wild dogs, pangolins, or desert-adapted elephants. Birdlife is equally spectacular, with opportunities to spot everything from fish eagles to flamingos. Luxury safaris often include expert guides and private game drives, enhancing your chances of witnessing extraordinary wildlife moments.

Is it safe to travel alone in Africa?

Yes, it can be safe to travel alone in Africa, especially if you plan carefully and prioritize destinations known for their security and traveler support. Many safari lodges and tour operators, like Safari Gals, cater specifically to solo travelers, ensuring safety, comfort, and peace of mind with private guides, organized transfers, and secure accommodations. It's important to work with trusted operators and follow local advice to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

What is the cost of a luxury safari?

The cost of a luxury safari varies depending on the destination, length of stay, level of exclusivity, and included amenities. On average, prices range from $700 to $2,500 per person per night. This typically covers accommodation, meals, game drives, and transfers. Refer to our packages to get an overview of different costs, itineraries and accommodations.

How is a luxury safari different to other safaris?

A luxury safari sets itself apart by focusing on privacy, comfort, and exceptional service. Guests stay in exclusive lodges or villas with stunning views, enjoy personalized itineraries, and experience wildlife up close with expert guides—all while enjoying world-class amenities. It’s an indulgent way to connect with nature while savoring the finest touches of sophistication.
