How to Book a Budget Kenya Safari

With so many different types of travelers, there is one thing that we all may have in common, and that is our love for an African safari. Or don’t we? Of all the African countries, Kenya is perhaps the best country for a budget safari trip. Why? Because Kenya is diverse and a miniature representation of the entire African continent.

From its magnificent national parks and outstanding game reserves to its rift valley lakes and world-famous blue beaches, Kenya budget safari stands out as Africa’s top safari holiday destination.

However, unfortunately, for many travelers, the cost of embarking on a budget Kenya safari can seem pretty prohibitive. Many people dream of seeing the Great Migration in Kenya, the ‘big five’ in Tanzania, as well as other diverse species of mammals, but end up staying put because of the costs involved. However, if you are considering yourself for a detailed well-planned budget, you can still enjoy the same experience without breaking your bank.

Here are some tips that will help you pull off a budget Kenya safari without going overboard.

GO ON GROUP JOINING SAFARI
A group joining safari is where like-minded individuals venture on a trip to share cost on everything from accommodation to meals and fuel. The group joining safari is best for individuals on a budget. It allows you to share the experience with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. Although every safari comes with its own set of challenges, the overall experience and cost-effectiveness make it worth the while.

GO DURING LOW SEASON
Most Kenya budget safari tour operators are open year-round, so consider going for your wildlife viewing during the low season, which happens to be in the rainy season, where you will find fewer visitors in the parks. In East Africa, the long rain falls from March to June and short rain from October to December. In this season, there might be a few hours of drizzle but you will still have plenty of sunshine to enjoy your safari trip. During this time, there are fewer crowds which mean lower expenses.

BOOK IN ADVANCE
Making a reservation in advance is both time and cost-saving. Book your budget Kenya safari in advance before 6 - 8 months to take benefit of lower fares, as well as lower costs for accommodation and logistics. Also, do not forget to check upon seasonal discounts offered by tour operators and travel agencies when booking.

OPT FOR AFFORDABLE ACCOMMODATION
Opting for affordable accommodation on Kenya budget safaris drastically cut down on your expenses. For example, you will find many safari camps having public facilities and wilderness sites where you can pitch your tent, which is an affordable alternative to lodges and hotels. If you are booking your safari trip using a tour operator, make sure to highlight your preference for budget-friendly accommodation.
