Evaluating Safari Deals Part 4: Finding Secret Deals

Wednesday, 29 April 2009 10:18 by BillGiven

To help provide insight into this new safari deals section of the website, I have decided to put together a six part blog post about how to best evaluate a safari deal:

This is part four of that six part blog post: Finding Secret Deals

FACT: Many Safari Deals Aren't Even Published

Many of the best safari deals are not made available for viewing by the general public but are available through safari planners. Some safari operators do not want to devalue their pricing or impressions of their products so they do not publish safari specials. However, they still want to motivate safari goers to utilize their product so they provide safari deals directly to safari planning agents. This could be in the form of additional commission rates, or multi-night stay deals just like consumers receive.

Agents then have the opportunity to create their own deals, but there are often stipulations that prevent advertising/publishing any safari offers that are below the published rack rates of the operator. Because of these agreed upon terms, many of the best possible pricing options can only be obtained by contacting a safari planner and seeing what they produce. I personally have been able to offer itineraries that include some of my favorite properties this year with discounts in excess of 20%. I have a wide range of offerings throughout Africa that I can discount to create custom safari deals exclusively from The Wild Source.

Recommendation for Finding Good Safari Deals

You need to talk to your safari planner. As a wildlife biologist and safari guide who travels frequently to Africa, I can offer you access to these deals that I am privy to but am unable to publish. I can also help craft an itinerary that will meet your needs using my scientific background and experience from both my time on safari and performing predator research in Africa.

It is my mission to provide all of my clients with the same sense of wonder and awe that I experience each and every time I go to Africa.
