Budget safaris
For the intrepid traveler who prioritizes the experience over opulent comforts, a budget safari is your ticket to the wild heart of Kenya without breaking the bank.
What to Expect: These safaris are all about maximizing game viewing while minimizing costs. Accommodation typically involves basic tented camps (often with shared facilities) or simple, clean lodges. Transport is usually in shared safari vans (minibuses with pop-up roofs) rather than 4×4 land cruisers, and meals are often simple but hearty. You’ll likely travel in a group, fostering a communal spirit among fellow adventurers.
Who It’s For: Backpackers, students, young couples, and anyone who wants an authentic, no-frills wildlife experience. If you’re physically fit, adaptable, and happy to rough it a little for incredible wildlife encounters, this is for you.
Highlight: Incredible value for money, allowing you to witness the Great Migration or explore iconic parks like Maasai Mara and Amboseli, proving that a life-changing safari doesn’t have to cost a fortune.
