Looking for a luxury African safari at a fraction of the usual price? Many top-rated safari lodges across Southern Africa offer last-minute discounts—but there’s a catch: You often need to arrive fast, and commercial flights just won’t cut it. That’s where private air charter comes in.
At Bastion Aviation, we help clients seize these travel deals quickly and comfortably, flying you directly to participating lodges in minutes—not hours. If you’re ready for a spontaneous safari, here’s how to find last-minute safari lodge specials—and how to reach them in style.
Why Safari Lodges Offer Last-Minute Deals
Luxury lodges operate in remote areas and rely on advance bookings. When cancellations or unsold inventory happen, they often release:
- 30–50% off rates for quick bookings
- Free nights (e.g. stay 4, pay 3)
- Complimentary upgrades or child stays
These deals typically apply to stays within 7–30 days of travel—perfect for flexible, high-end travelers.
