It depends far more on where you stay and how you travel than on the destination’s reputation. Start with your accommodation and flight quotes, which are usually the two largest lines, then add guiding, dining and the smaller costs. A contingency of around 10% covers currency moves and extras you will almost certainly add on the ground. ### What does a luxury hotel room cost per night? Market averages give a sense of scale, not a price for your trip. CoStar data reported in November 2025 put the average daily rate at US luxury-class hotels at US$394 for the year so far, and the ten most expensive hotels in Paris, London, New York and Rome at US$1,500 or more a night. Suites, peak dates and resort destinations can be several times higher. ### Why doesn’t the estimator suggest prices for each destination? We only use figures we can source, and there is no reliable published set of luxury prices by destination and trip style. Rates also move with season and availability. The example figures are there to show how the budget fits together: replace them with quotes from your advisor or suppliers. ### Are park and permit fees included in a safari lodge rate? Often, but not always. Many safari lodges quote fully inclusive rates with park and conservancy fees, while others add them separately. Some permits are always extra: Rwanda’s gorilla trekking permit is US$1,500 per person per trek, and Maasai Mara National Reserve entry has been reported at about US$200 per non-resident adult per day. Fees change, so check the current rate before you book. ### What does “on the ground per person per night” mean? It is the budget without flights and insurance, divided by travellers and nights. It is the figure to compare between destinations or trip styles, because flight costs depend on where you start and the cabin you choose. ### Can I put this budget estimator on my website? Yes.
