3. Consider the Length of Your Safari

The duration of your safari will impact the overall cost. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide:

  • Short safaris (3-5 days): Ideal for first-time visitors or those with limited time.
  • Medium safaris (6-8 days): Perfect for exploring multiple parks and experiencing diverse wildlife.
  • Long safaris (9+ days): Great for in-depth exploration and combining safari with beach or cultural tours.

4. Compare Inclusions and Exclusions

When comparing safari packages, pay close attention to what’s included and what’s not. Here are some key factors to consider:

  • Included: Accommodation, meals, park fees, game drives, and transportation.
  • Excluded: Flights, visas, tips, and optional activities (e.g., hot air balloon rides).
