YZ’s ‘Classic’ Safaris

Our ‘classic’ safaris are the most popular safaris we sell. Clients who favour this type of trip find either that our ’value’ safaris tend to be too adventurous, or simply that the lodges we use in the value category are not quite luxurious enough! The classic price bracket is where we start offering some of the industry’s most-experienced and best-established safari lodges and camps.

How much do our classic safaris cost?

These safaris start at approximately $7,000–$8,000 per person. They tend to include some superb 5-star camps and lodges – properties where standards of guiding, food and service are set very high! This is where we use genuinely luxurious properties that are run by some of our most impressive partners.

What are the properties like and what experience can I expect?

Our classic safaris are seriously good safaris. The price you pay at this level ensures terrific trips and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. The properties themselves are more than comfortable, featuring large beds, excellent en-suite facilities and a real focus on the hospitality experience as much as the quality of safari itself! The price bracket guarantees a significant increase in luxury levels over our value safaris, whilst the guiding standards are better too. High standards of accommodation and guiding combine to create a product that is backed up by our use of Africa’s most-experienced and best-run safari companies.
