Affordable Safari Tours in Botswana

The key to an affordable trip to Botswana is to plan ahead and book your accommodation in the best wildlife areas at the right time of year. By doing this, you can truly get the most out of your budget. Take the time to research the lodges and camps across the country; comparing prices will help you find the best deals. Trust me, you’ll want to focus on hotspot areas like the Okavango Delta, Chobe River, Savuti, and Moremi Game Reserve. These regions offer incredible wildlife experiences without breaking the bank.

Opting for classic Botswana safari camps without “all the frills” often provides the best opportunity to truly connect with nature, indulge your senses, and create a richly immersive experience.

If you’re willing to forgo luxuries like air conditioning, electricity, and king-size beds with percale cotton sheets, you’ll find the rewards in terms of value and authentic adventure to be far greater.

Booking your accommodation a year in advance is crucial to secure a spot during the best season for game viewing. However, the peak season might not be everyone’s idea of fun. During this popular travel time, you’ll encounter a high density of tourists, more vehicle traffic, and higher prices, which can detract from the experience if you’re seeking solitude and exclusivity.

For some, the “off-season” is the perfect time to visit. During this period, safari lodge prices drop by about a third, the parks are much quieter, and you have more freedom to explore without the crowds.
