Pricing and considerations
This classic, ‘dry season’ itinerary is best enjoyed from July to October, as outside of these months Katavi is closed due to its remote nature and difficulty of access after the rains.
Our guide price for this itinerary is from £5,950 | $8,090 per person, based on a family of four travelling in green season.
All our luxury family safari holidays are designed on an individual basis, so the price will vary depending on time of year, activities, transport methods and choice of accommodation. The best way to start planning is to contact us.
Note – due to the remote nature of the camps and the age restrictions for chimpanzee trekking, we only recommend this safari for children aged 12 and over.
