An Inside-out explanation on planning a safari for the best experiences within your budget limits
It is hard to beat the anxiety that comes with planning your first safari in Africa. On one side is the wide selection of the activities you would engage in while in Africa and build the multitude of memories you would desire. They say there are 1000 ways to experience Africa. On the other hand, which destination you should pick and the kind accommodations best for you. There is the paperwork and documentations needed for travelling. And then, the budget obligation that comes with the whole process.
Step 1: Making important decisions for your safari
The first step in planning an African Safari is by answering the 4 queries:
- When- When are you travelling to Africa
- How much – What is your budget
- Where – which destination am I going to visit
- How – what are the experiences you expect during your safari
When – When are you traveling to Africa
Deciding on when you are travelling to Africa is the first major step in planning your safari. Africa has limited tourism infrastructure and proper timing for your booking is as good as the quality of your safari. If you are planning for a luxury safari you will need to book the most strategic accommodation located in prime game areas. Some of these facilities are fully booked 7 months earlier. It would therefore be more prudent if you planned your trip earlier.
How much- What is your budget plan
Your Africa safari budget will help you decide on which destinations you are going to visit, your accommodation budget range and the activities you engage in. To ensure you get the best match for your budget engage a safari expert for proper information on the available dimensions you can have for your safari. Weigh all the available options before making the final draft of your safari itinerary. Send it to your safari consultant who should create a more detailed custom safari package. Go through the package before committing for payment.
Where- which destinations will I be visiting
The step on the destinations you are going to visit goes hand in hand with your budget plan. Importantly you need to weigh both the budget and the quality of safari experience. Some destinations are highly rewarding and worth to spend more. For example, Masai Mara charges more in conservation fees and its top-level accommodation are way more expensive than those in Lake Nakuru. But the park has a better game experience with the park holding the highest wildlife in Kenya. Again, Masai Mara is 30 times larger than Lake Nakuru. For this reason, guest on a short safari will most likely go for Masai Mara over Nakuru irrespective of their preferred budget range. When deciding on which destinations you are going to visit you should also decide whether to go for a conservancy or go for the public parks. This is largely intertwined with the experiences you expect to get. If you are just for a game drive and without minding the crowds of tourist vehicles in the park, you can go for the public parks. If you are looking for activities like riding safari, night game drives, open sided drives and fly camping you should go for a safari in the private conservancies.
How- What experiences am I expecting
Most guests on a safari prefer just going for a road-trip and watch game scenes on a closed safari vehicle throughout their trip. At least it is the most affordable option available. Again, it is one of the activities that are unrestricted in the public parks. However, there are a wide selection of safari experiences like horse riding, fly camping, wildlife tracking walks and night drives that are only available in the conservancies.
What your safari expert must include in the final itinerary draft
- Day by day account. Your safari package must show details of the way you will spend each an every minute in your safari for each day. Take note on the hours spent on game drives and other safari activities.
- What the budget includes. Ensure you are able to understand the things that are catered for in your safari budget. Some of the most important details in the break down are accommodations, park fees, and activities.
- Budget. This is the total cost for the trip.
Step 2: Pay deposit
After having your desired package prepared, we recommend that you immediately make a deposit as you will be instructed by our travel consultant. A deposit is the only guarantee for booking. We also recommend that you are compliant with the other payment scheduled to ensure timely payment to supply and a smooth safari planning process.
Step 3: Get your visa
With you now having your itinerary, the next step in planning a safari is to get a visa for the country you are visiting. All the four East African countries; Kenya Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania allow visa on arrival for most countries in the world. However, we recommend that you apply for the visa online to avoid wasting a lot of time on custom clearing at the airport.
Step 4: Have your vaccination & insurance document
The travel consultant attached to you will offer you detailed information about mandatory & optional vaccinations you may need during your visit in East Africa. The mandatory vaccinations vary with the travelers country of origin and age and the country you are visiting. We recommend that you visit a medic for the vaccination once you have full information on what is required for you. Also remember to buy your desired insurance cover.
Step 5: Now book a flight
Lastly book your flight Africa and wait for the big day.
