The Budget Tanzania Safari Experience: Photos of Lake Manyara and More
An African Travel update from the ground sent from two US clients (Chris and Kayla Anderson) who did our 12-Day Tanzania Safari & Zanzibar Holiday and loved it!
Highlights of this affordable Tanzania Safari & Zanzibar Beach Holiday include; the Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara on the Northern Tanzania Safari circuit and Zanzibar Island.
Despite the extra COVID protocols in place, we felt safe and were able to enjoy a fun and relaxing vacation.

Chris's 5-Star Review of African Budget Safaris on Trustpilot
Here are some snippets of Chris's review of their affordable Tanzania Safari & Zanzibar Holiday:
Our guide Mollel was FANTASTIC and taught us so much about the wildlife and ecosystems of Tanzania, as well as local culture and customs.
We cannot say enough great things about the staff, rooms, and grounds at these hotels.
Daniel has been such a huge help through booking, COVID concerns, rescheduling, and last-minute details. He knew the ins and outs of what we needed and was accommodating with a few special requests and changes we asked for.
Overall, the trip was amazing and we would highly recommend booking with Daniel at African Budget Safaris...

A native Capetonian, Daniel’s earliest explorations of South Africa were family camping trips to the then small fishing villages of Cape’s west and south coasts. After qualifying in travel and tourism he was soon discovering Southern Africa, like his uncle TV Bulpin; and adventures such as tandem skydive and Bloukranz bungee - which were captured on VHS! He headed over the pond where his ‘world tour’ took in Europe, North Africa and Central America, before returning home to live in a suburb internationally renowned for senior citizens and shark attacks. When he’s not answering your calls and emails, you’ll probably find Daniel in the bush, with no reception or running water, but camera poised.
