How to Plan a Budget Kenyan Safari Holiday?
12/16/2021
Kenya's spectacular African wildlife safari excursions and fantastic game-watching drives have made it a global sensation. That is where the safari got its start. The word "safari" is derived from the Swahili language.
Kenya is the ultimate natural vacation location, with free-roaming wildlife in their natural habitat, pleasant year-round warm weather, cultural richness, and lovely people.
Safari is the primary motivation for travelers from Europe, America, the Middle East, and Asia to visit East Africa on vacation.
How to plan for your safari in Kenya?
Safaris in Kenya can range from basic to extravagant. Thus, the cost of your Kenya safari holidays and vacations will vary accordingly.
Safaris in Kenya start at around $200 per person, per day, with basic lodgings and no extras. A mid-range safari with lodging costs $300 to $400 per person per day. On the other hand, a top-tier luxury safari with accommodations costs $600 to $1,000.
- Choosing a spending plan
When arranging a safari in Kenya, the first step is to choose how much money you want to spend. Depending on the season, the number of people in your party, and the type of lodgings you select, you may be able to customize the cost of your safari.
One thing to consider is whether you want to share your game drive vehicle with other passengers or if you want a solo safari.
Sharing a van by forming a private safari group will help you save money on your Kenya safari while also allowing you to bond with your fellow passengers and enjoy the views of the African wilderness.
- Selecting a destination
There are around 40 national parks and animal reserves in Kenya, varying from renowned parks such as the Masai Mara, Amboseli, and Tsavo to lesser-known parks such as Samburu National Reserve and Lake Naivasha.
Because most visitors to Kenya want to view wildlife, the most popular parks are those where you can see the most animals on your game drive. So, that would be Masai Mara National Park and Amboseli National Park.
- The ideal time for a safari
The most popular parks, Masai Mara and Amboseli, are also the most expensive, particularly during peak season, extending from June to October, including January. It is also known as the dry season. Moreover, it is the perfect time to go on safari since the lack of rain sends animals out into the open in search of water, making them easier to find.
Generally, in July, the wildebeest migration begins. Hundreds of wildebeests cross the Mara River in search of greener grazing. The Great Migration, sometimes known as "The Greatest Show on Earth" by wildlife fanatics, is stunning to watch.
Peak season is the most expensive season for these and other reasons. Keep in mind that watching the Great Migration is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you will never forget. Such incredible encounters are, in essence, priceless.
