    Asked on June 2nd, 2025

    We are planning to visit Cape Town in November and are interested in a mid-range safari for 3 to 4 days. Could you please let us know if there are fixed safari dates? We prefer lodges or hotels with private rooms that include a private shower and toilet, rather than basic tents. Also, could you advise which airport we should fly into for the safari? Is there a pick-up service available from the airport? Additionally, we would like to know the best way to get there from Cape Town. Could you please provide information on the costs as well?
