5. Paying 100% upfront via bank transfer.
Legit operators: 30% deposit via Wise/PayPal.
100% upfront = biggest red flag.

4. Flying into Nairobi then driving to Serengeti to "save money".
You lose 2 full days + $200 in hidden border & transfer fees.
Fly in, drive out. Always.

With multi-day travel becoming more personalized, do you think we are at risk of losing the magic of unexpected moments? The best memories from my own travels were never in the itinerary. How do we design for serendipity in the future of multi-day travel?

A client just asked me to do 11 days safari + 3 days Zanzibar for $4050 pp. 2 pax, private.
My cost: $4080 pp.
If I say yes, I pay $60 from my pocket to work 14 days for free.
This is why "cheap safari" offers scare me. Ask what's NOT included.
