2010 and early 2011 is shaping up to be great value time for a safari! Hotels, lodges and camps are offering a number of specials to entice visitors! Unlike the specials being offered in 2009 the majority of current specials are focussed on underperforming properties / companies (we have not included these specials on this page as we do not feel they offer a great experience) and / or non-peak times of year... For 2011 availability at the most sought after properties is becoming limited on certain peak period dates.

We have compiled a country by country list of the offers that we consider worthy of attention!

If you would like to learn more about a particular special or have us check availability please email or phone our Seattle office toll free 1 800 4621 0682 between 10AM and 6PM weekdays. If phoning from outside the USA please dial 425 793 8877. 

Specials apply to new bookings only.
