All-Inclusive African Safari Packages & Resorts
All-inclusive African safari packages are designed to make the experience feel seamless, elevated, and easy to enjoy from the moment you arrive. In many safari lodges and resorts, your stay typically includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, and often snacks or high tea, which means much of your trip is already covered in one rate. Depending on the lodge and destination, some packages also include game drives, airport transfers, and select drinks, creating a travel style that feels both luxurious and convenient.
ReThreeTravel helps you compare all-inclusive safari resorts and lodges across destinations like South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, and Zimbabwe so you can find the right fit for your budget and style.
-
We look at what is included, what is not included, and how the meal plan works at each property, because some lodges offer full-board or all-inclusive dining while others may charge separately for alcohol, premium dining, or certain experiences. That way, you understand exactly how far your trip goes before you book.
Many safari lodges also create a food experience that is part of the journey itself, with fresh local ingredients, bush breakfasts, picnic lunches on game drives, and candlelit dinners under the stars. For travelers who want comfort, value, and simplicity, all-inclusive safari packages can be one of the best ways to enjoy Africa without constantly managing logistics once you are there.
-
Luxury lodge or resort accommodations.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Snacks, afternoon tea, or picnic lunches.
Select beverages or house drinks, depending on the lodge.

Airport transfers and in-destination transportation.

FAQs on safari
-
Yes, safari can be a beautiful fit for many types of travelers when the itinerary is designed intentionally. ReThreeTravel tailors each safari around your comfort level, travel style, ages, interests, and ideal pace so the experience feels exciting, manageable, and right for your group.
-
In some safari destinations, yes, malaria prevention is part of smart trip planning, but it should be approached thoughtfully rather than fearfully. ReThreeTravel helps you understand whether your destination requires extra health planning and encourages you to follow the guidance of your doctor or travel clinic before departure.
-
Yes, some safari areas in South Africa are known for malaria-free options, which can be especially appealing for families, first-time safari travelers, and travelers who want more flexibility in how they plan. ReThreeTravel helps you compare destinations based not only on wildlife goals, but also on comfort, logistics, and health considerations.
-
The best time depends on what you want to experience, whether that is classic game viewing, the Great Migration, fewer crowds, better value, or a safari combined with Cape Town, Victoria Falls, or the beach. ReThreeTravel helps you match your dates to the right destination and season so your itinerary is built around your goals.
-
Safari pricing varies widely based on destination, season, number of nights, lodge level, and whether your itinerary includes private touring or internal flights. Many safari itineraries begin around $5,000 per person and can exceed $15,000+ per person for more exclusive or longer journeys, not including international flights, visas, and travel insurance.
-
Safari packages are often far more inclusive than many travelers expect. In many cases, your rate may include accommodations, meals, game drives, park-related activities, many in-country transfers, and sometimes internal flights or select beverages, while international airfare, visas, travel insurance, and gratuities are often separate.
-
Sometimes, but not always. Soft-sided luggage is most important when your itinerary includes internal safari flights or smaller aircraft with stricter baggage rules, so ReThreeTravel will review those details with you based on the exact countries, camps, and routing included in your trip.
See our Safari Packing List for more details.
-
Safari is best booked early, especially if you want smaller camps, top lodges, prime migration timing, school-break dates, or a multi-country itinerary. For many travelers, 12 to 18 months in advance is ideal, and 18 to 24 months can be even better for highly specific dates or in-demand properties, while earlier planning can also create more room for manageable payment planning.
-
Many safari camps and lodges are intentionally intimate and may have a limited number of rooms or tents, which is part of what makes the experience feel so special. Early planning gives you a better chance at securing the right lodge, the right location, and the right flow for your overall trip.
-
Absolutely. There is something deeply moving about watching grandparents, parents, and children all become wide-eyed at the same moment as they witness the beauty of nature together, from sweeping landscapes to unforgettable wildlife sightings that feel bigger than everyday life. Safari can create the kind of once-in-a-lifetime shared memory that multigenerational travel is all about, and ReThreeTravel helps shape the experience so it suits the needs and energy of everyone in the group.
-
Yes, and that is often what makes the trip feel even more unforgettable. Combining safari with Cape Town, Victoria Falls, or Zanzibar allows you to experience multiple landscapes and travel styles in one journey, from city life and wine country to wildlife, waterfalls, coastline, and beach relaxation.
-
Many safari lodges offer thoughtful, high-quality dining that reflects both the property and the destination, with a mix of international favorites and locally inspired cuisine. ReThreeTravel helps match you with lodges that fit your comfort level, dietary needs, and preferred travel style, whether you want refined luxury, family-friendly ease, or a more immersive bush experience.
-
Yes, East Africa is the top region for the Great Migration, with Tanzania’s Serengeti and Kenya’s Maasai Mara hosting the world’s largest wildlife movement. The best timing depends on the season: the calving season happens in the Southern Serengeti in January–March, while the river crossings in the Mara River are most dramatic in late June–October. ReThreeTravel helps you pick the right season and location based on what part of the migration you want to experience.
-
The Serengeti (Tanzania) and Maasai Mara (Kenya) are part of the same ecosystem and both offer incredible Great Migration viewing, but they feel different. The Serengeti is larger, more expansive, and often feels more immersive, while the Mara is more compact and iconic for river crossings. ReThreeTravel compares both destinations based on your priorities, from crowd levels and lodging style to budget and travel logistics.
-
Yes, Tanzania is often considered the more immersive safari destination, especially for travelers who want longer itineraries, multiple parks, and the Serengeti ecosystem. With destinations like the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania offers classic, dramatic landscapes and a strong luxury tented-camp experience. ReThreeTravel helps you design Tanzania itineraries that balance game drives, scenic beauty, and lodge comfort.
-
Yes, Kenya is known for the classic East African safari feel, with strong wildlife viewing, cultural depth, and access to the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara. Kenya is also a strong option for travelers who want to combine safari with beach time on the coast. ReThreeTravel helps you choose Kenya if you want iconic safari landscapes, excellent wildlife, and a destination rooted in East African tradition.
-
The best time depends on the part of the migration you want. For calving season, the Southern Serengeti is best in January–March. For river crossings, the Central and Western Serengeti are best in late June–October. ReThreeTravel matches your travel dates to the right Serengeti region and migration timing.
-
Yes, East Africa can work well for families when the itinerary is designed with appropriate pacing, lodge choices, and age considerations. Tanzania and Kenya both offer family-friendly lodges and camps, and ReThreeTravel helps you select destinations and accommodations that suit your children’s ages and travel style.
-
Tanzania and Kenya can be more expensive than South Africa for many travelers, especially during peak migration season and for luxury properties. South Africa often offers more lodging options at lower price points plus the advantage of city and wine country add-ons. ReThreeTravel compares all destinations so you understand the trade-offs before you choose.
-
Yes, and that can create an even more memorable trip. Combining Serengeti safari with Zanzibar gives you a beach-and-bush experience, while combining Tanzania with Cape Town adds city life, wine country, and coastal scenery. ReThreeTravel helps build multi-country itineraries that flow smoothly and feel well-paced.
-
Yes, for travelers who want a more active, achievement-based trip, combining a Tanzania safari with Kilimanjaro can be a powerful combination. ReThreeTravel helps you plan this kind of trip carefully, considering timing, fitness levels, and travel logistics.
-
Yes, you can add gorilla trekking in Uganda or Rwanda to an East African safari, though it is a separate country and requires additional planning. ReThreeTravel helps you consider whether gorilla trekking fits your travel goals, budget, and overall itinerary flow.
-
Safari planning is more than choosing a country. ReThreeTravel helps you compare destinations, understand timing, evaluate lodges, coordinate in-country logistics, and shape an itinerary that reflects your travel style, priorities, and comfort level so your safari feels seamless, elevated, and intentionally designed.

What to Wear on Safari
Neutral colors are always the best choice for safari. Think earth tones, khaki, olive, tan, and other soft natural shades that help you blend into the landscape.
Bright colors are more visible and distracting than neutrals, and white clothing tends to show dust and dirt quickly. Full camouflage should also be avoided.
In areas where tsetse flies are present, blue and very dark colors are best avoided because they can attract them. There is no need to buy a whole new safari wardrobe. In most cases, a few neutral tops and bottoms mixed in with your regular casual travel clothing will work just fine.
Choose loose, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen to help you stay cool under the African sun. Long sleeves and long pants can be especially helpful for sun protection, evening insects, and added coverage during walking activities.
A wide-brimmed hat or cap is one of the most important things you can pack. Lightweight safari pants that zip into shorts can also be a great option for flexibility.
Layers Matter
Safari mornings and evenings can be cool, even when the afternoons are warm. A fleece, sweater, or light jacket is always a good idea.
Altitude also makes a difference. Some areas, such as high-rim crater lodges or elevated safari regions, can feel much colder at night than travelers expect.
Evenings at most safari camps and lodges are casual, even at luxury properties. Some travelers may choose to dress smart casual for dinner at high-end lodges, but formal clothing is generally unnecessary.
Shoes and Footwear
Unless your trip includes serious hiking, trekking, or walking safaris, a good pair of sneakers or comfortable walking shoes is usually enough. Heavy hiking boots are not necessary for most classic safari itineraries.
If you are going gorilla trekking, that is different. Waterproof hiking boots with ankle support and good traction are strongly recommended because the terrain can be muddy, steep, and uneven.
It is also a good idea to bring sandals or flip-flops for time around the lodge between activities.
Laundry on Safari
Many safari camps and lodges offer laundry service, but it varies by property. Some include it, some offer it for an additional cost, and some do not provide it at all.
Laundry usually takes about 24 hours, so it is important to keep that in mind if you are changing properties quickly. For cultural reasons, underwear is often not included in standard laundry service, so you may need to wash those separately.
How to Choose the Right Safari Experience for You
Choosing the right safari experience starts with understanding how you want to travel, what you want to see, and how comfortable you want your trip to feel. Some travelers want a classic wildlife-focused safari with multiple game drives, while others prefer a more luxurious itinerary with fewer logistics, more privacy, and time built in for relaxation. The best safari for you may depend on whether you want city life, beaches, wine country, gorilla trekking, or a fully immersive wildlife journey. It also helps to consider your comfort level, group size, budget, health concerns, and whether you want a short safari introduction or a longer adventure across several destinations.
ReThreeTravel helps you compare the options and narrow down the experience that fits your travel style best. From family safaris and honeymoon trips to luxury escapes and multi-country itineraries, we guide you toward the safari that feels memorable, comfortable, and completely right for you.

African safari pricing can vary widely based on several factors, including the number of travelers, the time of year, the level of accommodation, the destinations included, and the overall style of experience you wish to create. A helpful general benchmark is around $1,000 per person* per day for many safari experiences, although final pricing may be lower or significantly higher depending on your choices. Popular safari destinations may carry a higher price point due to demand, while off-the-beaten-path locations can also increase costs because of limited access, fewer lodging options, and more complex logistics.
