A budget safari in Kenya and Tanzania is not a lesser safari. It is the same parks, the same wildlife and the same 4x4 Land Cruiser; what changes is where you sleep. Our budget journeys use practical camps and simple lodges — and in Tanzania, the public campsites inside the parks, which put you closer to the game than many lodges manage.

These are the journeys that made the catalogue, and most of them carry a published price rather than a quotation. Where a price is shown it is the rate we recorded, not an estimate.
Every route here can also be travelled at midrange or luxury level if you would rather upgrade the accommodation and keep the itinerary. The tier selector on each journey page shows what is available.

Simple camps and lodges, and in Tanzania the public campsites inside the parks. The vehicle, the guiding, the park fees and the wildlife itinerary are the same as on the upgraded versions of the same route.
We publish a figure only where we have a reliable recorded rate. Where we do not, quoting a number would be guessing, so we say On Request and price it against your dates.
Yes. Any itinerary we operate can be run for your own party in a private 4x4 Land Cruiser, including journeys otherwise sold as group-joining departures. A private departure is quoted separately from the listed price.
No. Properties are suggested for fit and current operation and confirmed on your written quotation. If one is unavailable for your dates we will propose a comparable property rather than substitute something lesser without telling you.
