When Is the Best Time to Go on Safari?

Safari conditions vary from one destination to another.

Weather, wildlife movements, park conditions, accommodation availability and seasonal travel patterns can all influence the experience.

Rather than assuming that one month is the best for every destination, travellers should consider the specific destination and the type of experience they want.

Our destination guides provide more information to help you plan according to your travel priorities.

How Long Should an African Safari Be?

Safari duration depends on your destination, budget, interests and overall itinerary.

Some travellers may choose a short safari of a few days, while others prefer longer journeys combining several parks or countries.

When comparing packages on ATX Africa, consider:

• Number of safari days

• Number of destinations or parks

• Travel time between locations

• Activities included

• Accommodation

• Internal transportation

• Overall budget

What Does an African Safari Cost?

Safari prices can vary significantly depending on the destination, accommodation level, number of travellers, transportation, activities, season and length of the trip.

A budget safari and a luxury safari can have very different costs even when visiting the same destination.

When comparing prices, always check what is included and excluded from the package.
