Affordable Safaris

How to keep the costs low

Nothing can compare with waking up to hear a lion roar in the distance or getting a close up view of elephant herds wandering through the bush, so it’s hard to put a price tag on such an unforgettable experience. The reality is that going on a safari in a private lodge will probably take up a significant chunk of your holiday budget. And yet, we are 100% certain that you’ll leave your safari thinking that it was completely worth the cost.

One key thing to remember is that a private safari lodge is far more than a place to rest your head. There are so many added trimmings included in the price, such as great food, unique and atmospheric accommodation and two guided game drives per day. This means that while you’re staying at your safari lodge, you won’t be delving into your spending money at the same time except for drinks and souvenirs.

Even though private safaris don’t come cheap, they needn’t cost the world. This is something that we’ve learnt over the years and we gathered together some handy tips to help make your private safari experience easier on the pocket. For example, self driving in Africa is not only an adventure all of its own, but a great tactic for keeping costs down.
