What are African Budget Safaris? by

African Budget Safaris are the best value-for-money African safari tours. Our budget safari packages provide an affordable way to explore Africa, without compromising quality.

As budget travellers with decades of experience travelling, living and working in Africa, we have cherry-picked the best budget safaris across Africa. These budget safaris are conducted by well-established and respected tour companies that provide excellent-value safaris people love.

In short, we draw on our extensive network of established relationships with reputable tour companies throughout Africa to secure the best travel deals for our clients. 

Always affordable African safaris, never nasty

Although budget African safaris are cheap, they don't feel that way.

Our clients visit Africa's best destinations and experience the continent's most unforgettable highlights, just like travellers on more expensive packages. The difference is, our customers get more bang for their buck.

Our long, ever-growing list of 5-star Trustpilot safari reviews is a testament to this.

African Budget Safaris

African Budget Safaris are affordable tours with our safari partners who focus on excellent value. These budget safaris offer good quality accommodation, transport and facilities that maintain the highest standard of service, cleanliness and reliability. 

Accommodation is selected for its excellence, and unique or scenic location. Most of the accommodation on budget safaris is mid-range to semi-luxury, but sometimes simple accommodation is used. Even when the accommodation is basic it is clean, comfortable and safe. The cheaper safaris are no-frills, but the most important elements are always in place. 

Expect friendly service from trustworthy staff; experienced and qualified guides; and reliable transport appropriate for the journey ahead. The norm is good food, cool drinks and snacks on game drives, WiFi access wherever possible, and quality camping gear when you camp.

Choosing your affordable African safari tour

We have categorised each of our affordable African safari tours into one of the following 5 categories: Camping, Lodge, Small Group, Private Camping and Senior Safaris. Regardless of your preferences, we will match you with the perfect African Budget Safari or tailor-make a custom African safari that is ideal for you.

Budget Camping Safaris

On Budget Camping Safaris, 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.

Budget Camping Safaris are ideal for those who want to play an active role in running their African Safari. 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 lodge accommodation includes dorm, single, double/twin and occasionally triple rooms.

The Budget Lodge Safaris offered by African Budget Safaris stay at diverse accommodation establishments, from hotels, guesthouses, and cabins to backpackers and chalets.

Small Group Safaris - Exclusive Camping Tours

Our exclusive Small Group Safaris are chosen because they fulfil certain criteria that make them stand above the rest. This type of camping safari generally entails travelling in a small group to ensure more one-on-one interaction with your tour guide.

Small Group Safaris require little to no participation from the traveller. Although they are mostly classed as camping safaris, they often include some nights of lodge accommodation.

On these small group safaris a larger portion of activities is generally included in the tour price; and transport is typically in smaller four-wheel drive vehicles.

Private Camping Safaris

Private Camping Safaris often use camping sites 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

The Senior Safari is designed for a slightly more mature traveller. Safaris for Seniors are put together for clients over 40, to create a like-minded group of more refined fellow travellers. The aim is to put more mature travellers together so they are more likely to have shared interests.

Senior tours generally offer extra comfort. The accommodation and vehicles are more comfortable, and the travel distances between safari destinations are shorter. 

Curated Selection of African Budget Safaris

We carefully screen every one of our affordable African Safari Tours, making 100% sure that the trip delivers more than it promises.

We love our jobs because our goal at African Budget Safaris is simple: for you, the traveller, to have an awesome experience in Africa, at a price that won't break the bank.
