Special Safari Offers
January 27, 2010 (last updated)
A number of our preferred providers offer specials. Sometimes these are “last minute” deals for those “spur of the moment” travelers with valid passports. There are also longer-stay specials which save on your travel time and cost. Other times we can suggest off-season rate specials where you are certain to miss the crowds.
This provides a most economical way to visit our preferred camps and lodges. Periodically new properties provide “introductory rate” specials.
We also have clients who are interested in traveling with others in order to benefit from the economies of scale when you can be part of a group of 6 to 12 travelers on the same itinerary. Let us know if you are looking for some travel partners!
All special offers are subject to availability. Contact Duffle & Compass for up-to-date information.
