[MENTION=86083]anasker[/MENTION], from what I know about African safaris (and it was certainly true on my two), bookings are done through an agent and guests can't book directly with the camps. Agents will almost always quote you one total number for the itinerary, so you never really see the breakdown of the nightly cost for the lodge, the bush flights and and any other miscellaneous fees that you might have to pay. The agents like this sort of non-transparent pricing because it makes it harder for you to comparison shop if you can't see the individual cost of each "piece" and see how much they're marking up any given "piece" with their commission. This is why you really need to do an apples-to-apples comparison of exact same itinerary when you're comparing various companies, and and also ask specific questions ("how much more would it be to go to X camp vs Y camp") if you're trying to figure out whether something is worth the cost.

The Kwando rack rates are here: https://www.kwando.co.bw/Kwando%20We...22%20Rates.pdf , which will give you some basic idea of the cost of their various camps in the various seasons. I assume most people are playing close to those prices, though I have no idea whether agents are giving people better than those prices (even after their commissions) or marking them up further. We must have paid substantially less for our last minute pricing, but I have no idea how it broke down.

TL;DR is that I assume you're looking at mid-$1000's pppn in high season for Kwando camps -- and Kwando camps are considered "mid-range" and there are camps that are considered far more upscale.

I also have no idea how much the bush flights are, but from various quotes I received from various companies, it seemed that by going to one camp for 4 nights rather than 2 camps for the 4 nights, it would have saved us $200-300pp. So perhaps I can infer from this, and the overall amount we paid, that each bush flight is maybe in the $200-300pp range. That's actually quite lower than I would have expected, as that was the cost of a commercial flight in coach from around Southern Africa and I would have expected an exclusive bush flight to be far more. It seems that the flights are not a huge driver of the cost, and most of the cost is in the lodges.

Hope that helps. Happy to post more info, if that wasn't already too much info.
