Lavon Edwards clarified that most safari costs typically include food, transportation, and game drives. Additional expenses are usually for optional activities like massages, drinks from the bar, or hot air balloon rides, which are not included in the base package price.
“But everything is generally included in that price. In my experience, so, so do keep that in mind, folks, when you're booking safaris, this this is going to cover your food, your transportation, your transportation to and from.”
“Uh, really the only things like if you wanted to, you know, book like a massage or maybe get drinks from the bar, those would be separate added on expenses.”
“But if you want to do a little something extra or like a, like an air balloon ride, um, over the safari, that's something that you can add on for an extra cost in your package.”
