Budget Safari — Real Value, Real Wildlife

The same parks and the same wildlife, with your own vehicle and guide. Simpler camps and lodges keep the cost down, not the experience.

The experience

A real safari, without the luxury price

A budget safari visits the same national parks as every other safari. The difference is where you sleep: public campsites and simple lodges instead of high-end camps.

Every Taswira budget safari is still private: your own guide and 4×4 for your group, at your own pace. If you’d like a few more comforts, we can move any night up to a lodge.
