Registration, Deposit, and Dates
May 18-22, 2026 | May 25-29, 2026
$19,850 double occupancy*
Shared suite. Choose this option if you’re willing to have a roommate, or if two of you are attending the STAR together. If you’re traveling singly and you select this option, we’ll pair you with a roommate.
$28,850 single occupancy*
Choose this option if you’d prefer your own room.
Payments:
Either pay in full, or choose the 5-pay plan if you’d like to pay in bite-sized chunks of 5 monthly payments.
*Note: Air travel to and from your departure city to Johannesburg, Londolozi gratuities, any incidentals, and spa treatments are not included in the registration fee.
Space is limited to a maximum of 12 people per STAR, depending on occupancy requests.
There is a $500 deposit required to apply for African STAR. This, along with your fully completed application, is a demonstration of your commitment to joining us on the trip. Once we receive your deposit, you will automatically receive a link to the online application. Applications are due no later than October 23, 2025, but these trips often sell out prior to the close of the application window.
If accepted, your $500 deposit will be applied to the cost of the trip. If accepted and you decline the spot offered, your deposit will be forfeited. If you are not accepted, your deposit will be refunded promptly.
REFUND POLICY
In the unfortunate event that your plans must change for any other reason, here is our “we-hope-you-don’t-need-it” cancellation policy:
As the African STAR is an exclusive event with a limited number of spots, we do not offer refunds. By registering, you are demonstrating your commitment to this unique experience and to paying the full amount for the room you select.
We highly recommend having “cancel for any reason” international travel insurance.
