What our customers ask about Budget Tours & Trips to Kenya and Tanzania
What type of accommodation can I expect on budget safaris in Kenya and Tanzania?
Budget safaris blend simple camping with basic lodge stays. At locations like Masai Mara, places such as Miti Mingi Eco Camp set up well-made tents with proper beds, shared bathrooms, and limited electricity (6-10pm daily). Each tent comes with mosquito nets and simple furniture - enough to sleep well while staying close to nature.
What is the average price per day for a budget safari in Kenya and Tanzania?
Daily rates for budget safaris run between $338-500, covering the essentials like places to sleep, game drives, food, and getting around. A typical 5-day camping safari costs about $2,500 total, which works out to $500 per day with park entry fees and guide costs included.
Are border crossings between Kenya and Tanzania included in budget safaris?
Tour operators handle all border crossing details between Kenya and Tanzania, with staff helping travelers through checkpoints at Namanga or Isebania. Travelers need to pay their own visa fees - about $50 for each country - on top of the tour price.
What wildlife viewing opportunities are available on budget safaris?
The Masai Mara and Serengeti sections let travelers get close to lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalo - known as the Big Five. From July through November, visitors can watch as 1.5 million wildebeest move across these grasslands in their seasonal migration.
When is the most affordable time to visit Kenya and Tanzania?
Travelers find better deals during April-May and November. Places like Africa Safari Ikoma cut their usual prices by up to 30% during these months. These savings come with occasional rain showers, but the wildlife watching stays just as good.
What level of guiding can I expect on a budget safari?
Local guides who speak English lead these safaris, bringing years of experience despite the lower tour costs. Guides working with companies like East Africa Safari Bookers regularly earn ratings between 4.6 and 4.8 out of 5 from past travelers.
