Seasonal offers may be available when hotels, lodges or other suppliers run promotions, especially outside the busiest travel periods. They are not guaranteed and should be checked for the actual dates.

Are there seasonal discounts?

Discounts are not a single permanent rule because safari pricing is built from accommodation, park fees, transport, flights, group size and travel season. A property may offer a seasonal rate while park fees remain fixed.

Group size can reduce the per-person cost of shared vehicle transport, and children may qualify for age-based rates from specific suppliers or parks. Those rules vary.

Ask ESA Safaris for a current quotation based on real dates and traveller ages. That is more reliable than applying a generic percentage discount to an old package price.

Are pets allowed?

Pets and service animals cannot be assumed to be accepted on safari. Protected areas, wildlife risk, accommodation rules, border health requirements and transport regulations all complicate the issue.

A service animal that is accepted in a city hotel may not be allowed into a national park or on a wildlife activity.

Raise the requirement before booking. ESA Safaris can investigate the route, but approval depends on the relevant authorities and suppliers.

Small booking details can change the final cost

Child ages, room configuration, travel season, baggage, private services and optional activities can all affect the quotation. Give accurate information from the beginning so the booking is priced correctly.

A good booking process should leave you knowing what has been confirmed and what still depends on availability. Keep the latest itinerary and invoice together so there is no confusion between an early proposal and the final arrangement.

What this means for your itinerary

Pets are a separate issue. Most safari parks, game-drive vehicles and wildlife lodges cannot be assumed to accept pets because of wildlife, health and accommodation rules.

If you need to travel with an animal, raise the requirement before any booking is confirmed. The route may need to be designed around suppliers and authorities that permit it.

Confirm changeable details before you pay

Offers, supplier policies, exchange rates and availability can change. A price seen in an old brochure or social post should not be treated as a current quotation.

Use the written ESA Safaris proposal for your actual dates. It should show the services being booked and any important conditions that apply to them.

Before you book or travel

  • Read the inclusions and exclusions before paying a deposit.
  • Confirm child ages, room arrangements and optional activities.
  • Keep the latest quotation rather than relying on an early proposal.
  • Ask about any line you do not understand before the booking is confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I compare only the total price?

No. Compare inclusions, locations, vehicle arrangements, transfer time and what is excluded.

Are optional activities included automatically?

Only when the quotation says so. Ask about any activity that is important to your trip.

Why should I keep the final quotation?

It is the clearest record of what was priced and confirmed for your actual dates.

Can prices change before I book?

Yes. Availability, exchange rates, park fees and supplier rates can change until services are confirmed under the quotation terms.
