What 'VIP safari' means concretely
Three concrete differences from the standard evening safari, not marketing copy. First: a private 4x4 — your booking only, no shared seats with other guests, your driver dedicated to your group. Second: a private table at a premium partner camp — separated from the buffet line, served sit-down rather than line-up. Third: a premium menu — multi-course meal, table service, vegetarian and dietary preferences pre-arranged rather than self-serve. Optional fourth: photographer add-on, particularly for sunset and dune-bashing shots. Anything called VIP without these specific upgrades is just marketing.

Why VIP is quote-only
Group size, premium camp choice, photographer add-on, custom menu adaptations and any special-occasion logistics (proposal, anniversary, corporate hosting) all change the line items. Generic VIP bundle pricing is not honest because the actual cost depends on which camp partner and which add-ons. Send the parameters on WhatsApp and the quote comes back itemised.
