    What is the minimum reasonable price per person for a one week safari? Let's say that I've found some offers at 1.800 euros: is it definitely a scam, or is it a decent price for a group camping safari?

    • @EastAfricaTravelTips
      @EastAfricaTravelTips 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It depends on a lot of factors so I can't tell you for sure unless I knew what the package contains. safaribookings.com can give you a ballpark figure of what to expect and the prices there should be considered the higher range since a local can negotiate for a lower price than what's quoted.

    The land cruiser or van actually makes no different. Both vehicles are pretty comfortable. I prefer the midrange accommodation . The most important thing is the driver and guide. unfortunately you dont know who you get until you get him / her. So from my point of view budget safaris is definitely worth it.
