What are African Safari Tours & Budget Packages? by

Our aim at African Budget Safaris is to bring you the best value-for-money African safari packages and tours, without compromising on quality.

Always affordable, never nasty

Our African safari packages may be cheap, but they certainly won't feel that way. Our long, ever-growing list of 5-star TrustPilot safari reviews is a testament to this.

Choosing your African safari tour style

We have categorised each safari tour into one of the following 4 categories: Camping, Lodge, Exclusive and Senior Safaris. Regardless of your requirements, we will either match you with the perfect Budget African Safari for you or tailor-make a custom safari that is ideal for you.

Budget Camping Safaris

On a Budget Camping Safari, you can expect to spend your nights in two-man dome tents that are spacious and well ventilated, ensuring maximum comfort.

Camping Safaris generally require an active participation element from you. This can be from putting up your own tent, to helping with meal preparation on a roster basis.

Camping Safaris are ideal for those clients wishing to play an active role in the running of their African Safari adventure. It is, however, important to note that your level of participation is generally restricted to the campsite area.

Budget Lodge Safaris

Our Lodge Safaris are generally conducted in accommodation facilities that are in the 2 to 3 Star bracket. The accommodation comes in the form of dorm, single, double/twin and occasionally triple accommodated rooms.

We make use of a variety of accommodation facilities from Hotels, Guesthouses, Cabins and Backpackers on these African safaris.

Exclusive Small Group Camping Tours

Our Exclusive Small Group Camping Safaris are chosen because they fulfil certain criteria that make them stand above the rest. The Exclusive Budget Safari generally entails travelling in a small group which ensures more one-on-one interaction with the Tour Guide.

Exclusive Budget Safaris require minimal to no participation from the traveller.

This type of Safari generally includes a larger portion of activities in the tour price; the vehicles used are on the whole smaller four-wheel drives.

Private Camping Safaris

Exclusive Small Group Camping Safaris often make use of camping sites that are not open to the public, ensuring privacy. It is often the case that your nights' accommodation for the duration of your African Safari will consist of a combination of lodge and camping to give you a nice mix of sleeping under the stars and the home comforts of a lodge stay.

African Safaris for Seniors

Senior Safari Tours are African safari tours that are specifically designed for a slightly more mature traveller.

These tours are put together for clients over the age of 40, with the intention of creating a more refined group of fellow travellers more likely to have shared interests.

The senior trips are generally more comfortable in terms of the accommodation used, the vehicle choice and the distances travelled between safari destinations. 

Curated Selection of Travel Packages

We carefully screen each and every one of our African safari tours, making 100% sure that the trip delivers more than it promises.

We love our jobs because, at the end of the day, our goal is a simple one: for you as the traveller to have an awesome experience in Africa, at a price that won't break the bank.
