News and Updates
Second Update Posted 12/05/22
We are readying to purchase all of your INTRAcontential flights.
For Egypt travelers that means
Cairo - Luxor
Luxor - Cairo
Cairo - J Berg
For ALL travelers that means
J Berg - Cape Town
Cape - Kruger
Kruger - J Berg
For Egypt AND South Africa travelers it’s $990.
For South Africa only it’s $600.
A couple of things…
1) After this the only flight that is left for you to purchase is getting to/from Africa.
2) Based on our original estimates that leaves $1,500-$1,510 for your US to Africa flight. If your US to Africa flight is more than $1,510 your total costs will end up slightly more than the original estimate. If it costs less then that’s money “saved” based on original estimates.
3) Originally this deposit was scheduled to be $450. That is because originally we were going to get just the Safari flights now and the other internal Africa flights later.
I can’t remember my thinking at the time but that’s stupid. We’re going to get all the Africa flights now. Which is why this deposit is larger than originally quoted.
4) If this is a problem for anyone reach out to me. Yall know I like to be accurate with my count so if you budgeted for only a $450 deposit let me know privately and we will cover the rest and re-up after the New Year. I know it’s also Christmas time for everyone. My apologies for the change.
5) This is based on flights we found now. As you all know this can vary. The sooner we have all the deposits the sooner we can book and hopefully that keeps price volatility at a minimum. If the final price ends up being different that what’s quoted here, in our favor or against, I’ll let you all know.
6) Please send a pic of your passport if you haven't done so already we cant afford any mistakes
7) These flights are non refundable unless you think you’re gonna have some future reason for Air Egypt credits lol
8) I’m putting all of this on the What's App as well. Please check it there and like this status after reading. That lets me know you read it and I don’t have to contact you individually.
First Update Posted 10/28/22
Hey all,
Some updates on flights.
Flights are currently available for next September. Which means that in the next 30 days flights will be available for the times we will be flying.
A couple of notes.
-
I recently priced out a September Trip from Houston and I’m happy to report that our estimation still remains on the mid to higher end of pricing. For those going to Egypt and SA I see total flight pricing ranging from $1,825-$2,625. I asked you to prepare for $2,600. For those going to just SA I see total flights ranging from $1,375 to $1,875. I suggested you prepare for $2,100. So unless we see significant price changes between now and when you buy your flights you should all be in good shape. Again, all prices are based out of Houston you obv will have to adjust for your locations.
2. Your flight from the US to Africa you are free to book on your own however you like. However the flights WITHIN Africa we need you to book with us. Mainly because some of these trips will have really small planes and we want to ensure we are all traveling together. These flights (looking at todays prices) look to be between $375-$475 for those only doing SA and $775-$900 for those doing both. (This is NOT on top of the above flight quotes, the above flight quotes includes this.) The airfare that this will cover will be Cairo-Jo Berg, Jo Berg-Cape Town, Cape Town-Kruger, Kruger-Jo Berg. Again, intercontinental travel is not what we are talking about here, just travel within Africa. Also Cairo-Luxor and back is already covered in your other deposit.
3. We will want to get these flights as soon as we are able, because again, small planes, we will want to ensure we can move as a group when we desire. The intercontinental flights you can purchase whenever you like through us or on your own. We will not book any flight until all the deposits are received and we would like to do that between Thanksgiving and Christmas, obv the sooner the better. As stated this us also non refundable, unless you want to take flight credit for a small South African airline lol. Please reach out to me if that is a problem for anyone. Also remember you can pay with Credit Card and there is some flexibility here.
As always hit me if you have any questions. Q.
