Accommodation is likely to be cheaper, food prices may vary, tour prices often drop if you travel outside of the peak season,\u00a0and you won&#8217;t bump into as many tourists. The downside; you may not see as many animals, or the weather might not work in your favour, but if your budget is tight, this is definitely worth considering.<\/li><li>Group tours may not be suited for all travellers, so if you&#8217;re travelling independently, it is best to look at accommodation just outside of the main national parks versus staying at a lodge inside the park; as these can be quite pricey.<\/li><li>Depending on how adventurous you are feeling, booking a <a href=\"\/safari-guide\/camping-safari\">camping safari<\/a> is often much cheaper than staying in lodges or hotel accommodation.<\/li><li>Snacks and food in Africa are fairly inexpensive, but it never hurts to pack a few snacks to have on hand. That way, you won&#8217;t get lured into over-priced tourist traps when the hunger pains strike.<\/li><li>A short safari might suit your budget, but it is worth remembering that a longer tour often equates to a lower cost-per-day.<\/li><li>Before you travel, always set your budget higher than what you expect you might spend. If you&#8217;re planning to travel on a shoestring, aim to save for a mid-range budget. Or, if you&#8217;re travelling on a mid-range budget, strive to pocket enough cash to meet the luxury budget just to be on the safe side. That way, you can prepare for any unexpected costs that pop up along the way without taking a nasty hit to your bank account.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hippos-in-the-water-min-900x600.jpg\" alt=\"Hippos in the water\" class=\"wp-image-19907 lazyload\" width=\"680\" height=\"454\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hippos-in-the-water-min-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hippos-in-the-water-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hippos-in-the-water-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hippos-in-the-water-min.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/454;\" \/><figcaption>Keep an eye on the watering holes to spot a hippo swimming | \u00a9 <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/2q5aDZUq2M4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Wade Lambert\/Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Most popular regions to go on a safari tour in Africa<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Southern Africa <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Proudly boasting some of the best national parks and a diverse array of wildlife, <a href=\"\/b\/southern-africa\">Southern Africa<\/a> is waiting to be celebrated and explored.
