Our Pricing

Very important points to note about the prices on our website:

1. All prices are approximate
2. All prices are in ZAR (South African Rands) for Namibia and South Africa tours and in USD (US Dollars) for Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia tours
3. All prices are based on the per person sharing rates

Why We Display Rates in different currencies

Suppliers in Namibia and South Africa charge in South African Rand (ZAR) and suppliers in Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and the rest of Africa charge in United States Dollars (USD).

Note: The Namibian Dollar is fixed to the South African Rand at an exchange rate of 1:1

When we make a quote for a tour that visits Namibia and/or South Africa, we quote in ZAR; for a tour that includes Namibia and another country other than South Africa we divide the quote into ZAR and USD according to our supplier contracts. The end result is an accurate quote for you that will use your bank’s exchange rate at the time of processing the invoice.

Using this method ensures the fairest price for you and protects us against fluctuations in currency. With all this in mind, please note the prices on our website are a guideline only. Your issuing bank may offer a different exchange rate at the time of processing the payment and will add transaction and commission fees to the total affecting the final amount you end up paying.

Why We Display Approximate Prices

We display the lowest possible rate based on 2 people traveling for every tour using acceptable standards of accommodation, transportation, activities, services and routes. Except for our scheduled and group tours, there are many options available to you that will affect the final price of a tour. Using an approximate starting price makes it quick and easy for you to compare tours on our website.

The Tours & Safaris we have listed are a combination of the most popular routes and itineraries - the actual tours and itineraries we book and recommend. Browsing here, gives you a great way to get an idea for your holiday and inspiration to get you started.

It is however important to keep in mind that the rates showing are based on specific details and therefore if you'd like us to quote you the same (which we'd love to do) the rates could differ for a number of reasons. Here are just a few to mention:

• Number of people travelling - the price of 2 people vs 4 people for instance will affect the overall cost and if there are children in tow this too will affect the rates.
• Inflation - If you're only planning to travel next year, you can expect the rate to change due to annual inflation.
• Seasons - the rates across seasons can and do vary from lodge to lodge and from supplier to supplier, so once you have your dates fixed, this may too affect the final cost.

What we're really trying to say is that if you like the look of a sample tour, let us quote this to you for an accurate rate based on your specific travel details.

Factors Affecting the Cost of your Tailor-made or Scheduled Tour

Even our scheduled and group tour packages have seasonal and annual price differences and most of our tour and safari packages are tailor-made to your individual requirements. Maybe you like the look of a sample itinerary, well these are some of the main factors affecting your final quote:

• The duration of the tour or safari
• The standard and type of accommodation e.g. fully serviced bush camping or five-star safari lodges
• The type of tour you're interested in or the transport used e.g. fly-in safaris or self-drive tours
• Whether it is a guided (escorted) safari or an unguided (independent) tour
• The number of people in your group e.g. larger groups may cost less per person for car hire but more for accommodation or you may need to include a single supplement if staying in a single room
• The time of year you travel (peak season or low season) e.g. our summer is low season
• Additional activities, excursions and services

So Why Use Us?

Here are a few  good reasons why it is better to use a local tour operator and why you should book your African holiday through Namibia Tours & Safaris.

• Membership and backing of the Tours and Safaris Association Namibia (TASA) and the Namibia Tourism Board (NTB).
