About Budget Safaris
Our aim at African Budget Safaris is to bring you the best value for money Safaris and Tours available on the African continent, without compromising on quality. We have categorised each Safari trip into one of the following 4 categories: Camping, Lodge, Exclusive and Forty Plus Safaris. Regardless of your requirements we will have the perfect African Safari for you.
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 Safari adventure. It is however important to note that your level of participation is generally restricted to the campsite area.
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 tours.
Our Exclusive Budget Safaris are African Safaris that are chosen because they fulfill certain critiria 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. This type of Safari generally includes a larger portion of activities in the tour price; the vehicles used are on the whole smaller and are often 4x4 in nature. Exclusive African Budget Safaris often make use of exclusive 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 ensuring a nice mix.
Forty Plus Safaris are Safaris that are specially designed for the more mature traveller in mind. As the name implies these African tours are for clients over the age of 40. These African Safaris ensure that you will travel with other clients of the same mindset and age bracket. The Safaris Trips are generally speaking more comfortable in terms of the accommodation used, the vehicle choice and the distances travelled between tour destinations.
We carefully screen each and every one of our African Safari packages, making 100% sure that our product offering delivers more than it promises and you the client will be more than satisfied with your final choice.

What is the Local Payment?
The Local Payment is a necessary expense that covers a variety of on-the-road costs. All tours maintain their local payment fund in US dollars as this currency is accepted in any country you may happen to visit. As a result we need to quote the local payment cost separately to our tour price.
What your local payment covers varies from tour to tour, but typically includes things like
- border payments
- food and drinks
- park fees
