The best time of the year to go on an African safari is during the hot dry season. This season has the shortest grass and the vegetation is not very thick. This allows tourists to easily see most of the animals since they are not hiding in tall grass.

    Jambo rifiki. When I lived in Kenya (early 80's) all of the parks were free. I think it is a shame that they are charging so much to enter the parks. For a Canadian, this is extremely expensive. Some of the parks are upwards of $140 per day in Canadian dollars. This is a wealthy persons adventure now. Asante sana for your little tour.

    Hi we did a 3 days Safari in Masai Mara a mid range tour in June 2024. The coast for this was 850 dollers per person . We were driven by our driver Mr Kikito who workes for Jocky Tours by the Toyota Land Cruiser. I prefer road trip. It took 6 hrs to our accommodation Jambo Mara Safari Lodge. The road trip was fascinating rather than bumpy roads. We were lucky enough to see all animals in one whole day Safari. As you mentioned, always keep money to tip and an experience driver is a must. I went through your video before and after my safari. It was very useful. Thanks

    You don't go to safari on you own. You will need a guide and with equipment including a safari truck. A guide knows everything about safari including where to find the animals and the area. Professional photographers spent a lot of time and money looking for best moments to photograph. 😊

    So there is mosquito proof clothing that will help against mosquitos but I am also considering trying this protect against tsetse flies. The thing is I know that impregnated clothing won't work because tsetse flies are resistant to the content but what about tight fabrics such as G1000 or more thick fabrics they can't bite through? Is there anything you could recommend? I really want to avoid getting bitten because Sleeping Sickness is a risk. And While getting bitten once isn't the end of the world getting bitten hundreds of times by different flies really does increase the risk..

    Thank you for this video! Many safari content on RUclips are young adults up for adventures but I hardly find anyone talking about safari with young kids. I’m coming to Kenya this year with my 4-year old. I totally agree with your suggestions. I think it’s very important to find an agency or a tour that understands needs of young kids and family. I switched from Botswana to Kenya with advice of my agency, because my child cannot join a walking or a canoe safari in Botswana.

    I have broken a few rules in African national parks. Everytime our jeep have had a flat tire I have left the car and changed it for a new one. When being harassed by baboons I have attacked the troop with machete and a small aluminium table as a shield. I have taken a leak during nighttime outside my tent with hyenas around. I have shouted at Cape buffalos to disperse when surrounding our vehicle. I have scared away predators by stomping in the ground and shouted. I have done a lot of other things also but everything have fulfilled its purpose without any problems.

    What is the minimum reasonable price per person for a one week safari? Let's say that I've found some offers at 1.800 euros: is it definitely a scam, or is it a decent price for a group camping safari?

    • @EastAfricaTravelTips
      @EastAfricaTravelTips 3 месяца назад

      It depends on a lot of factors so I can't tell you for sure unless I knew what the package contains. safaribookings.com can give you a ballpark figure of what to expect and the prices there should be considered the higher range since a local can negotiate for a lower price than what's quoted.

    The land cruiser or van actually makes no different. Both vehicles are pretty comfortable. I prefer the midrange accommodation . The most important thing is the driver and guide. unfortunately you dont know who you get until you get him / her. So from my point of view budget safaris is definitely worth it.
