1. Take a group trip.

What easiest way to avoid that droning safari know-it-all on the game drive? Fill the car with your buddies. It may not always be realistic, but it is a wonderful method to organize an inexpensive safari. If you're going in a group, private houses become highly appealing, and taking over a complete camp will offer you a very competitive rate. You may also save money by chartering a private plane – and have good bragging rights for traveling in style! So, if you have friends who have been talking about going to Africa for months, we can look into group discounts for you if you have an occasion.

2. Consider the time of year.

Like the rest of the world, Africa has a 'low season' when travel is significantly less expensive. The low season has a bad reputation (bad weather, no animals, difficult travel), but in general, if the weather is awful and the animals are all hiding, a camp will not be open. It can be one of the amazing times to travel, with no one else around for miles, carpets of emerald-green grass, and lots of babies sprouting around the plains. The best times to visit East Africa are March, April, and May, whereas the best times to visit Southern Africa are May/June, and November.
