How To Plan A Budget Tanzania Camping Safari?

A camping tour in Tanzania is the cheapest way to visit all the great national parks in the country. You will get close to the various wild animals as you photograph them. It is also a good opportunity for game viewers and those people who enjoy camping and outdoor activities to relax.

However going on a Tanzania camping safari doesn’t come cheap. Some of the more luxurious safari trips can easily cost $1,000-2,000 per person, per night! Don’t let those numbers scare you. You can easily plan a safari—for about one-tenth the cost—using these 4 budget-friendly strategies.

Check the entrance fares:

There’re several reasons why doing a camping safari racks up considerable costs. Most wildlife parks & preserves in Tanzania are well-protected, and they usually charge fees of $50 to $200 per person per day to get in. Though not all, many parks also need a licensed guide to accompany travelers. These limitations aid to sustain both the ecosystem & creatures inside it, so these entrance fees are inevitable and must be budgeted from the very beginning.

Go Camping:

The iconic picture of a safari is that of the luxury-tented camp or lodge – but these adventures do not come pocket-friendly. However, a guided budget camping safari in Tanzania can cost as little as $135 per person, per day – and this encompasses all park & camping fees, transport with a guide/driver, camping tools, and all meals. The more commuters in the vehicle, the cheaper it’s per person.

Go in the off season:

During off-peak season, lodge rates can reduce as much as half, which converts to big savings. Some of the best off-season periods to take into account for a camping safari are early December, and again in April-May, which is the rainy period in East Africa. You may usually avoid damp climate, but the spring is also “baby season.” Everywhere you go, you’ll probably see elephants, infant giraffes, and lion cubs; it is also the season of the wildebeest migration. Lower season also entails lesser people – assisting you to ignore being enclosed by 20 other safari vans trying to catch the view of wildlife. 

Book Local:

When you reserve your Tanzania camping safari through an independent owner business like Mala Tours And Travel, you will have a better opportunity of getting bargains & scoring lower prices. Not just you will save money due to an independent operators’ overhead is usually lesser than that of an international tour service, but you are also supporting the local economy.
