African Safari FAQs
How much does an African safari cost?
It depends mostly on the country, the season and the camps you choose. For example, most safari prices include lodging, meals, game drives and park fees; international flights are extra. So every trip we plan is priced to your budget. Just tell us your budget and we'll then show you what it buys, or read our African safari cost guide.When is the best time to go on an African safari?
For much of East and Southern Africa, the dry season (roughly June to October) is the easiest time for wildlife viewing, because animals gather near water and vegetation is thinner. Great Migration river crossings in Kenya and northern Tanzania usually happen in the second half of the year, and calving in Tanzania's southern Serengeti is earlier in the year. In contrast, the green season brings lower rates, fewer vehicles and newborn animals. Choose the country first, then the month, and we'll match the two.What is the best country for a first African safari?
In general, Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa are the most popular first safaris. Kenya and Tanzania, for instance, offer classic savanna and the Great Migration. Meanwhile, South Africa pairs Big Five safaris with Cape Town and has malaria-free reserves. Botswana, on the other hand, suits travelers who want remote, low-density camps. Finally, gorilla trekking in Rwanda or Uganda is a different experience and often makes a great add-on. More in the best country for a first safari.How many days do I need for a safari?
Plan for 7 to 10 days on the ground for one or two countries, with at least two to three nights per camp so you aren't spending your trip in transit. Then add three to five days for a beach extension.How far in advance should I book?
For peak season (June to October) and the migration, book 9 to 12 months ahead, because the best small camps sell out first. Gorilla permits are limited, so book those early too. Shorter lead times can work, especially in the green season.Can children go on safari?
Yes. Many lodges welcome families, though some camps and activities have minimum ages. In particular, South Africa's malaria-free reserves are popular with younger children, and a private vehicle lets you set the pace.Do I need a visa or vaccinations?
Requirements and fees vary by country and also change often. With your proposal we send current guidance and links to official sources, and we recommend seeing a travel-health clinic 6 to 8 weeks before departure.Why use a safari travel agency instead of booking directly?
One planner coordinates camps, flights between parks, transfers and timing across multiple countries, and you have a US point of contact if plans change. Our advice is independent, so we suggest what fits you rather than one company's lodges. See how we compare, our safari planning guide or more safari questions.
