An African safari is a must thing to do at least once in a
lifetime. It allows visitors to see rare flora and fauna in its natural habitat
and enjoy the breathtaking scenery of the African savannah. Many people think
wrong that African safaris are for moneyed people; however, the truth is a
common man can embark on these.
We give you some tips that will help you make an affordable African safari trip.
Plan Your Destination Carefully
Before considering the fancies of gorilla trekking, think about the
particular destination that best suits your budget. East Africa's most famous
safari destinations offer luxury safari lodges and sky-high park fees to the
attendees. On the contrary, the most pocket-friendly safari destinations are
those that keep plenty of choices in terms of game reserves and operators, and
charge fees in local currencies instead of US dollars. Well, South Africa and
Namibia often best suits the traveler’s budget. Plus these have the most suitable
infrastructure for self-drive safaris, camping safaris and overland tours.
Low Season Perks
In Africa, the low season coincides with the rainy season,
and this changes the whole game. The overall fees for safari tours and
accommodation fall significantly. Well, that’s not all. The rainy season gives
visitors the lush landscapes and less noisy surroundings and usually coincides
with the breeding season for several of Africa's famous herbivores.
Join AS Safari
Group safaris are available in all shapes and sizes, from
minibus tours tailored to experienced tourists to social backpacker trips with
well-known companies like Bushman Safaris.
Group safaris can treat you well in the sense that they cost you only some
money than private tours. As a result, your cost of accommodation and transport
is segregated while granting you access to affordable park fees and guides.
Secondly, they offer a fantastic opportunity to mingle with other travelers as
you embark on a gorilla
trekking in Uganda.
Self-Drive Safari Experience
If you prefer to have a little more freedom, you must
consider a self-drive safari. During the entire safari trip, you drive
independently to (and around) your selected game reserves. The benefits are
also manifold with self-drive safari.
·
You can custom-built your itinerary to suit your
interests and modify it whenever you like.
·
You decide which routes to take within the
reserve, and the option to stay at night.
·
More importantly, many self-drive vehicles come
with a rooftop tent, keeping the cost of accommodation to a minimum.
Hire a Local Operator
Always
consider local tour guides, safari companies and accommodation options as you
plan an affordable gorilla
trekking trip in Uganda. The fact that local facilitators offer better
rates than international companies, these are your go-to- friends in East
African destinations.
Follow all of these tips religiously.
