Frequently Asked Questions

At Ellephant, we use our local knowledge to plan a trip just for you - starting with the size and age range of the group, the time of year traveling, and the budget available. Every itinerary is unique - be it a couple traveling on honeymoon or a family looking for their first safari or even a solo traveler fulfilling a bucket list trip.

Yes, we do - many itineraries include visits to Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and even into East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Rwanda), but our primary offering is for South Africa, given that we are based in country and visit many of the lodges we recommend.  South Africa's safari destinations are also some of the most accessible and there is a high standard for service and accommodation.

The best time to travel depends on the season and the activities you have planned - a safari is best in South Africa's winter, whereas Cape Town thrives in summer. Contact us for personalized recommendations based on your travel preferences.

Ellephant works with you to establish a budget and design your trip to fit comfortably within that frame. Safari does have a wild range of pricing (from R8,000 to R45,000 per person per night), and lodges price per person since most are fully inclusive. Get in touch and we can send you a few options within your range.
