How to read the numbers
Data status: Verified read in the official tariff of the body that sets the price · Sourced published by a lodge, operator or reseller (or a mirror of an official tariff) · Estimate our own assumption or an unconfirmed figure. Every figure has a source URL and last-verified date on the Data page.
Each estimate is built from components rather than a single guess: park fees from the tariff for the month you pick, lodging from named sample properties, vehicle and guide from published hire rates, plus labelled estimates for flights, tips and extras. Read the methodology.
