Your Safari Questions, Answered
How do I know a Safari trip is right for me?
A Safari tour is a multi-day experience where travellers can observe animals in the wild, most commonly in Africa. You should expect to explore multiple parks and countries in a single itinerary, and aim to set your sights on the Big Five and wildebeest migration, whilst also enjoying immersive cultural activities and excursions that include horse riding, canoeing and even hot air balloon rides!
How much does a Safari trip cost?
It depends - the cost of an African safari largely depends on your budget, length of trip, and the type of accommodation and amenities you choose. For example, the cost of a seven-day safari can vary anywhere between US$600 to US$8,000 and more. TourRadar allows you to save big with the largest selection of the best safari deals around!
When is the best time to go on a Safari?
The best time to go on a safari is during the dry season and around the time of the Great Migration. However, a safari during the wet season might be an attractive alternative as you encounter fewer people and save a lot of money.
What should I pack for a Safari?
When packing for a safari consider luggage allowances on small planes and the size of your vehicle, as going on a safari usually means hopping between national parks. Check our complete Safari Packing List to find out what essentials, clothes, gear and medication to pack.
Which country has the most animals in Africa?
