Budget Safari Tours
Budget safaris
A Big Five safari does not have to cost a fortune. Our budget safaris use comfortable camps, glamping tents and small group game drives in Kruger, Pilanesberg and Botswana.
You still get experienced local guides, park fees and transfers included, with clear US$ prices per person and no hidden extras.

Budget safaris: your questions answered
What is the cheapest way to do a safari in South Africa?
A shared or camping safari in Kruger or Pilanesberg, booked in green season (November to March), offers the best value.
Will I still see the Big Five on a budget safari?
Yes. Budget safaris visit the same parks as luxury trips; the difference is the accommodation and group size.
How do I book and pay?
You can book online and pay with PayPal or card in US dollars. Trips more than 45 days away need only a 30% deposit; the balance is due later.
