1
Season is the first driver. Peak migration months and major holiday windows usually command the highest lodge rates and park demand. Low and shoulder seasons can deliver excellent value when route design is handled carefully.
2
Accommodation style is the second driver. Budget, mid-range, and luxury trips are not just different in room style. They also affect location, service level, transfer logistics, and how much private flexibility you can expect on the ground.
3
Routing matters too. A compact circuit with one or two parks is usually more efficient than a long itinerary that combines multiple distant ecosystems without enough travel logic.
