Safari travel company Go2Africa has just released the world’s most expensive safari that will cost a family of four over $690k, visiting six countries over 24 days with hot air balloon rides, gorilla trekking, and even a personal film crew to document this journey of a lifetime for you.
You'll explore the highlights of Southern and East Africa with private jets whizzing you between Kenya, Victoria Falls, Cape Town, Volcanoes National Park, Serengeti, and the white sands of the Seychelles.
During your journey, you'll stay at some of the most lavish accommodations in Africa, from tented safari camps to riverside treetop villas, beachfront villas, and remote wellness retreats.
The tour will also follow in the footsteps of The Kardashians and Meryl Streep visiting luxury boutique hotel, Ellerman House, in Cape Town (a favorite of both) as well as the private game reserve of Singita that has welcomed Oprah Winfrey, Charlize Theron and Justin Timberlake.
Throughout the trip, you'll experience local life and visit local positive impact projects, including Reteti Elephant Sanctuary, Alfajiri Foundation, and Maunga Village Primary School, as well as contributing to the conservation of each park.
Go2Africa will also fully offset the carbon footprint of your trip.
Lee-Anne Kock, Head of Product at Go2Africa, says: "The Ultimate African Safari is a one-of-a-kind itinerary that we’ve spent years perfecting.
Every activity, location, and accommodation has been hand-selected by our team of local experts with decades of on-the-ground experience."
"The itinerary focuses on private and exclusive travel where we’ve crafted curated experiences unique to each destination.
Guests won’t just see Africa but experience the heart of its culture as they visit each location and become involved in the community projects that make the continent so vibrant and welcoming,” she adds.
The Ultimate Safari starts at $172,545 per person.

“Traveling light” is not something I’m especially good at. To put it into perspective, I was once charged a $123-plus excess baggage fee for a single checked bag.
