Accommodation, meals, park fees, guiding and transport, the way safaris are usually costed. Trips are from about $800 per person per night, including camp, meals, park fees, guiding and transport on safari. International flights are extra. Your quote is one total that includes every charge Nomad Africa makes, with no booking fee added later. Visas, travel insurance and tips are not included. Paying from India? Your bank may collect TCS (tax collected at source) on an overseas tour payment. It is a tax, not a fee from us, and it counts towards your income tax. Prices are in US dollars. We will tell you honestly what your budget does and does not reach.

How it opens

The first page of The Allocation Guide

A honeymoon is the one trip most people will ever deliberately overspend on. That is a reasonable thing to do once. It also produces a specific and very common failure.

The money goes to what photographs well and is easy to sell (the suite, the freestanding bath, the private plunge pool) rather than to what changes the fortnight. Nobody selling a honeymoon has an incentive to mention this, so it is worth writing down.

The rest is behind the form above

How it works

Three steps, about four minutes

It opens in your browser immediately and prints cleanly to PDF if you would rather have a file.

Ask us anything

If you told us your dates, our Africa specialist follows up within 24 hours with a tailored outline. If you did not, we send the guide and leave you alone.

About the download

Is it really free?

Yes. No payment, no card, no trial. We publish it because people who plan well are better to work with, and because some of them come back to us when they are ready.

Will you spam me?

No. If you give us dates, our specialist sends one tailored follow-up. If you do not, you get the guide and nothing else unless you ask. Every email has an unsubscribe link and we do not sell or share your details.

Do I have to book with you to use it?

No. It is written to be useful even if you plan the whole trip yourself or book elsewhere. It would be a poor advertisement if it were not.
