Enjoy the Big Five for less with Kamili
Kamili has launched a selection of sensibly priced safaris across their portfolio that won’t break the bank, and with 2009 rates frozen until the end of 2010 there’s no need to wait for last minute offers to enjoy outstanding African safari experiences.
Luxury comes at a price but with Kamili’s portfolio of over 40 African lodges the focus is on delivering value for money, ensuring great game-viewing takes priority over grand design. Kamili’s range of intimate and often owner run lodges offer high levels of service so guests don’t have to compromise on the little things to enjoy the Big Five.
- Botswana from $3,115 per person (around £1,930) – traditionally one of the most expensive African safari destinations, Botswana offers some of the world’s finest wildlife viewing. Prime areas such as the Okavango Delta, Moremi and Chobe usually come with a suitably impressive price tag but with Kamili’s portfolio of lodges a Botswana safari needn’t be reserved for platinum card holders. Combine the great game viewing at Mankwe Bush Lodge and Mogotlho Lodge in Moremi with remote and exclusive Mboma Island in the Okavango Delta. A 9 night safari including all transfers starting and ending in Maun costs from $3,115 per person. (Excluding international flights)
- Uganda from $3,823 per person (around £2,370) – famed for its gorilla tracking, Uganda has plenty more to offer visitors from tree climbing lions to a richly diverse flora and fauna. With seven lodges in all the main destinations, Kamili’s affordable Uganda circuit ensures you don’t have to be rich to enjoy Uganda’s wealth of attractions. A 10 night Uganda Highlights package includes 1 night in Entebbe, 2 nights in Kibale, 3 nights in Queen Elizabeth National Park, 2 nights in Bwindi and 2 nights at Lake Mburo from $3,823 per person including private vehicle and guide and full board accommodation throughout. (Excluding international flights. Gorilla and chimp trekking permits are extra)
- Kafue, Zambia from $3,495 per person (around £2,166) – whilst many places in Africa claim to offer an untamed wilderness, Kafue is the real deal at 22,000km2. Visitors to the Kamili lodges in Africa’s second largest national park are guaranteed VIP privacy without paying the earth. A 9 night Northern Circuit includes 3 nights at Mayukuyuku Camp, 3 nights at Plains Camp Busanga and 3 nights at Hippo Lodge from $3,495 per person including arrangements starting and ending in Lusaka. (Excluding international flights)
- Luangwa, Zambia from $3,270 per person (around £2,027) – authentic Africa aficionados will also enjoy the 9 night Luangwa Experience, a more traditional Zambian safari with a twist: you’ll be surprised how far you can get off the beaten path for so little. Enjoy 3 nights at Kafunta River Lodge in the heart of South Luangwa National Park followed by 3 nights at the fantastically remote Island Bush Camp, rounded off with 4 nights at Luangwa Wilderness Lodge in Luambe National Park. From $3,270 per person including arrangements starting and ending in Mfuwe. (Excluding international flights)
