At DNA Wild, we aim to include as many travel expenses as possible in your safari quotation, so you can relax and enjoy your journey without worrying about unexpected costs. Depending on your itinerary, your quote can include accommodations, meals, park fees, internal flights, transfers, activities, and other essential travel services.
Gratuities (tips) are typically not included because we believe exceptional service should be recognized based on the experience you receive, rather than treated as an automatic expense. Before you travel, we provide recommended tipping guidelines for guides, lodge staff, drivers, and other service professionals. If you prefer an all-inclusive package, we can include gratuities in your quotation and arrange for them to be distributed during your trip at your convenience.

Working with DNA Wild is a collaborative and highly personalized experience. We begin by getting to know you, your travel style, interests, budget, and what you hope to experience on safari. Using our firsthand destination knowledge and trusted local partnerships, we design a custom itinerary that reflects your goals rather than offering a one-size-fits-all package.
From the initial consultation to the day you return home, we manage every detail of your journey, including accommodations, safari experiences, flights, transfers, travel insurance guidance, and logistics. Our goal is to remove the stress of planning so you can focus on the excitement of your adventure. We provide expert advice, clear communication, and concierge-level support throughout the entire process, making your African safari seamless, enjoyable, and truly unforgettable.

The cost of a safari with DNA Wild depends on your travel style, destination, season, and the level of luxury you choose. As a luxury African safari specialist, most of the custom journeys we design start at approximately USD $2,000 to $2,500 per person, per night. Our specialty is creating ultra-luxury safaris averaging USD $4,000 to $5,000 per person, per night. These itineraries often include private charter flights, exclusive-use villas or safari camps, world-class guides, exceptional wildlife experiences, and access to unique opportunities that are rarely available through standard online booking platforms.
We also work with travelers whose budgets are below USD $2,000 per person, per night. During your consultation, we'll discuss your priorities and recommend the best itinerary for your budget, explaining any trade-offs that may be needed while ensuring you enjoy an exceptional safari experience.
Every DNA Wild safari is tailor-made, so your quotation is customized to your interests, travel dates, preferred destinations, and desired level of comfort. Our goal is to deliver the greatest value and the most memorable African safari experience for your investment, whether you're celebrating a special occasion, traveling as a family, or planning the trip of a lifetime.
