- A Mid Range African Safari costs around $3,000. This will give you a really comfortable safari that has good accommodation, transportation and possibly, some time on the beach.

High-End Tour Recommendations: www.safaribookings.com/tours/...
I've done the high end to middle range accommodation and equally, the highlight is the safari and the tour guide who is knowledgeable to do the safari. Accommodation is just a place to sleep and change. Honestly, you don't need the high end. Mid range accommodation is still better. You'll remember more the safari than the accommodation .
is there low end accommodation
In Kenya, plenty of vendors will give you a great cheap Safari. I use Ecoworld Safaris. $350 for 2 nights and 3 days in luxury tented camp inclusive of all meals, exclusive of park entry. They will tailor a safari to your needs. Mine was to Maasai Mara. I added the Balloon safari for $400 extra, well worth it. Driver/guide was superb. I stress this was Safari only, I have my own house in Kenya and family
"Is high end safari worth it?"
"No"
Finally a youtuber who didn't give a diplomatic bull$#it answer ! Great video, to the point advices, no non-sense. I already subscribed. Keep up the good work brother !
My safari in the Maissa Mara was 3 days with meals. It was budget with hotel pickup in Nairobi; tent had tiled bathroom and tin roof, porch and concrete sidewalks. I opted for a hot air balloon ride with champagne breakfast. All this for around $900. Yes, a land rover would have been greater than our van and electricity was only a few ours per day. I saw plenty of animals. It was great seeing a lion resting by side of rode 10 feet away and flying over a forested area and looking at elephants eating tree leaves. Electricity was only a few hours per day. Druver/guide
Same as I did, I did saty in a lodge as first holiday in 10 years, in hindsight I should have taken the tent...beds are teh same and even hotel had restricted electricity.
Thank you so much. This is so useful especially for people like me who have not been to Africa before. Loads of good wishes for the work you do.
Very nicely explained.
Amazingly explained. Thx for all the info !
Glad it was helpful!

You are welcome Veronika. I am glad you found the content helpful.
Very useful videos by you. Thank you for making our life easier ❤️
You are welcome.
Really helpful video
Nice presentation
Love from India 🇮🇳 ❤
My driver/guide was knowledgeable. A visit to a nearby Massai compound was included. Tips extra. It was worth it. Later I did a 1 day land and boat safari along the Chobi River in Botswana. This was in a landrover and boat. I saw hundreds of elephants and lots of water buffalo and hippopotamus to complement the countless zebras and giraffes and other animals seen earlier in Kenya. I was in the boat 10 feet away from a huge crocodile. Fabulous buffet lunch in an upscale open air restaurant overlooking the river. Pickup from my hotel in Victoria Falls. Price about $100. The 2 safaris, 4 days, including hot air balloon was about $1000 plus tips, not $3,000. Oh, I paid around $600 roundtrip New York to Nairobi. With a 10 hour layover in London I got in the Tube and took a $50 guided tour down (or up) the Thsmed.
Great comment Rod. It's awesome that you got such a great deal. I recorded this before the pandemic and the prices have plummeted since then.
Please i am planning to go in Kenya and yokr experience seems very good. Can yoi share with me your contacts?
You didn't see any Lions/leopards?
Can you share your experience? Do you have page that we can follow?
I saw lions and leopards. The first lion I saw was predawn, on my way to my balloon ride. He was 15 feet away and caught in our headlights. He was sleepy and casually turned his head to look at us. I saw a leopard in a tree and several lounging under a tree and one scouting for prey from a mound.
Having done several Safaris, I would suggest you sell the kids and go for the top of the range ones. One on one with a top class Ranger, in your own vehicle for 4 days, then out to the coast for a stunning beach holiday. A luxury Safari really is a once in a life time experience, go for the best.
Thanks

(Welcome in Kiswahili)
A sub to the channel is much appreciated...

Thanks for the information mr. ANTHONY , worth visiting African safari...! Regards from India
Thanks Mohan.
In 2004 I have visited masai mara nd so.i have visited gorilla safari at the edge of my 62.nd it was tremendously appreciated. I love seeing river crossing nd crocodile. Nd recently I vahe visited South aafrica on 22nd may 2022.GG LION SAFARY.I WAS IN CAGE ND LIONS ARE ATTENDING ON US.REALLY AAFRICA HAVE A LOTS OF ENJOYMENT.
As you said we need to carry money for tipping the hotel staff and the safari guide is it compulsory for tipping them??
Is it possible to pay with debitcards instead of creditcards?
Or are there other forms of payment in the national parks?
Thanks for the great content, I just want to know whether the park entry fees is for a whole trip per head or per day basis.. USD 60 per head during peak season , per head for a single entry or we have to pay for 60*5 days if we planned to stay inside the park for 5 days. Kindly clarify
Zambia and Zimbabwe offer excellent safari experiences different environments and wildlife...including river trips night drives walking safaris.Malawi is a fine experience as well
In Tanzania there is the" Southern circuit" of Selous now known Nyerere and Ruaha reserves .
Specialist safari companies can advise
How many day you need in masa mara
Plz make one video explaining the cost of safari for a local tourist (kenyan)
Hi do you work for afrishare safaris or maybe own it ? whats your name please many thanks
What would be the normal tip amount per person on each day?
Any tips on a good place to rent a a 4x4 I want to come for 1 month and do self drive and camp in budget facilities. I will be solo and photography is my main objective. Thanks in advance
I would recommend looking through the list in the link below and contacting them about your requirements. They do custom trips and configurations all the time. The Kenya Association of Tour Operators (KATO) is an association of all the registered tour operators in Kenya.

Hello, need help for Kenya safari. How do I contact you
Absolutely every thing you said is spot on. I went on Safari back in 2018 in the Masai and my goodness! What a time. We stayed at a beautiful hotel inside the park, it was not high end, but very very nice. I loved waking up in the morning looking out at the park, my God what a view! The tour was set up by the lead person in our group (About 10 persons in all) and we had very good drivers and guides, they knew the park very well and took us to another park not too far from Kenya. We were also there for a Church Conference and went on the Safari a few days later. You are correct sir, it was a six or seven hour drive from Nairobi to the Mara, and bumpy as every and hot!!! But I would do it again tomorrow! We had breakfast in the Masai (Even saw two female lions go right pass us while we were eating!!) and took an air balloon ride early one morning. Man what a time!! So many memories!!!! Wonderful time, now I"m in the process of planning another Safari in South Africa with my family. Cannot wait!!!
Paul,
The Masai Mara is amazing. I am glad you got to experience it. South Africa is really awesome. Make sure you do your research when choosing the park and Safari company you will be using. The planning stage is the most crucial part of your Safari.

Good luck Paul.
Can i ask which tour company you used? Thank you
Do you mind providing the name of the tour company?
What tour company did you use. Thanks
@@juanzuniga5976 I can't recall off hand but they were local in Nairobi.
Anthony, thanks for your Video.
I have done quite a few salaries ( 20 + ) Masai Mara Luanga, Serengeti, Ngorogoro, Serengeti and Okovana Delta
I have done the high end ones but feel that the mid range are just as enjoyable.
The main factor I believe is your guide, he can make or break your stay.
Today a good tented safari is I believe the way to go, food can be amazing and sat by an open fire at night listening to all the African sounds is incredible.
I am planning a trip to Botswana in the future how much would a Safari cost when i go
I am not very familiar with Botswana but I would recommend checking out that Botswana TripAdvisor forums. You will find lots of people who have been there recently who are happy to help.
What will be the best time to do a Safari Kenya & Tanzania Package and how many days? Can you recommend a goos travel agency? I hope i can do it this year and how u do manage the pandemic there recently?
The best time to visit Kenya and Tanzania is between July and September. It's the hot and dry season and it will be easier to see lots of animals during this time since they will be gathered around watering holes and the grass will be shorter. I have a video on this topic on my channel. Check in the recent uploads "worst time to go on Safari"
Check out the following mid range safaris. www.safaribookings.com/tours/kenya?P23BZVD&#min_no_of_days=7,max_no_of_days=10,min_price=2000,max_price=4000
When looking for a safari company, here is an article I wrote on the steps: eastafricatraveltips.com/how-to-choose-a-safari-company-in-10-easy-steps/
You will need to be vaccinated before coming. There are current hotspots but it seems like things are coming back to normal with people traveling freely.
Try us jimmywild safaris ....we can give a good quote
The best time to travel to these countries is between July to September. You must see the wildebeest migration!
I’m sorry I didn’t catch the Road transportation cost to masai Mara
Great video! Very informative. I’m going to both Kenya and Tanzania on safari, 17 days, and I’m going solo. My trip was quoted at under $7,000 USD. Is that a fair price? I think it is. The accommodations are on the higher mid range with flights in between and a trip to Zanzibar. I think it will be worth it and am so excited to go!!
Karibu Kenya Jeaninn (welcome to Kenya). You will have the time of your life.
That is not a bad price but may be a bit on the higher side if it does not include air transport to the parks and better than average hotels
@@EastAfricaTravelTips thank you. It does include airfare to some of the parks and to Zanzibar, and a flight from Zanzibar to Nairobi, hot air balloon ride, and a few more perks. I’m so excited !
You will really enjoy yourself. Carry enough memory cards and a camera that will do the scenes justice.
which tour company did you use, if you don't mind me asking?
@@lovemyhd1960too Seven by Far Tours. I leave for my safari this Wednesday !!
My husband and I are planning a one week trip to Tanzania next February. I've been there before but dad paid so money wasn't an object. Life is a lot different now. Can anyone recommend an agency or resort for around the $3000 per perso
Hi Victoria. Here are some African safaris. Scroll to the bottom to set your budget parameters.
It pulled up about 250 results

Hope this helps.
I am looking at going on a safari. Can you give me a couple of companies that you would recommend using.
There are lots of considerations you need to make when choosing a safari company...
I wrote a comprehensive guide on this: eastafricatraveltips.com/how-to-choose-a-safari-company-in-10-easy-steps/
Let me know if it is helpful.
check out Shadows of Africa which caters to Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda. I've used this tour company 4 times and they never failed to deliver the service I expected. I traveled solo!
@@loveminky I have used ‘shadows’ two (soon to be three) times and you are so right. They never disappoint.and I travel solo, too!
Where is he from? I like his accent😅
So basically it's better to save up a little bit before choosing one
Correct. A few extra hundred dollars will go a long way...
Correct. A few extra hundred dollars will go a long way...
So true! you won't regret your safari tour. You will come back home so please with all your videos and pictures. So save up a little more. You deserve it!
Can I have your email please?
God loves you so much that He sent His Holy Son Jesus from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins, and to be put into a tomb 3 days and rise from the dead the third day, and He (Jesus) went back up to heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and *please repent.*
I rather watch nature on tv. Same thing
To each their own. It's good you know yourself. You will avoid getting frustrated and stranded in a safari you don't enjoy.
This is the stupidest thing I have heard today lol
Congratulations! You made it as the stupidest comment in this video! 👏
You are not selling safari's to me in these videos ‼️I thought your country depended on tourism,shame on you ‼️
What's all this anger about??
Seems you are angry because you can’t afford it. That’s life live with it. He gives great information..
Because he knows that mosquito bites, bumpy roads and upset stomachs can spoil your holiday plus animals are not actors in films. You have to appreciate nature and a lot of humans take the wonders of life for granted. To me I can't afford such a trip but a appreciate the people, what a wonderful country.
@@catwrangler7907 Agreed, the best things in life have a degree of risk. That’s what makes like worth living!!!
You will never enjoy life if you can’t accept some risk. You drive and car and fly in aircraft they all have risk.
Hello, can you provide me your email want to run something by you.
