Engabi Tours and Travel offers trips ranging in length from 1 day to 30 days in Uganda , Rwanda, Tanzania and Kenya

Top African Safari Cost Determinants:

Now that you’ve evaluated the extra charges, you can begin to analyze all of the other factors that can affect overall safari costs. There are a number of factors that influence or determine the overall African Safari cost in Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania or Kenya and these include but are not limited to the following:

The Number of days you wish to spend on an African safari Vacation

The length of your African safari Vacation has a direct impact on the final African Safari Cost of your trip as the more days you spend on your African safari the more costly your trip becomes. We recommend that you book all your safari days with one company as you will end up paying less on a daily basis.

Safari season of the experience you want to go for

An African Safari has two seasons namely the high season and the low season or the low, high and peak seasons in some countries. Each season comes with different costs of accommodation and activity fees based on the traffic of tourists. Therefore visiting in the low or off season guarantees low prices or costs and surprisingly a better game viewing experience as there less tourist crowds and lush countryside though the roads might be in bad state especially during the rainy season.

Preferred safari destination and experiences

The country you decide to go to and the experience to do there determines the outlook of the final African safari cost as some experiences are cheaper compared to other destinations. For example a gorilla trekking safari in Uganda is cheaper than a gorilla trekking tour in Rwanda. This is because a gorilla permit in Uganda costs $800 while the gorilla permit in Rwanda costs $1500.

Preferred accommodation style

Accommodation takes around 40% of the safari cost and a typical safari lodge costs from $100 to $3000 per night for two people in the peak or high season based on your choice of accommodation style.

How You get around and mode of transfers

The choice of the vehicle type to take you around affects the safari cost so much. Mid-range and luxury travelers prefer custom-made safari jeeps or land cruisers whereas the budget and some mid-range travelers prefer the  pop-top minibuses. 

Exclusivity

Famous and big name parks such as Serengeti, Masai Mara, Queen Elizabeth and Murchison falls in East Africa attract  lower prices and on the other hand little known parks like Kidepo Valley where you are guaranteed peace and tranquility tend to attract a higher price

Compulsory and non-obvious additional costs

Visa Costs which vary country by country and range from $30-$100 per person

Costs of international flights and sometimes local flights.

Extra accommodation costs for example on arrival if you arrive in the afternoon or on the last day of your safari

Tips for Waiters, room staff, guides and drivers that vary according to your experience and satisfaction. Tips can range from $15 per day

Costs of Vaccinations and tests such as Yellow fever, Malaria and any other vaccine or test your doctor might recommend or is required on arrival

Cost of travel insurance which ranges from $50-$175 for two weeks

Whether You Book Your Tour Directly with a Local African Tour Operator or Not

Booking your tour directly with a local tour operator or travel company means that you cut the costs of middlemen travel agents in your country that tend to take huge commissions. The same applies to booking using online travel agents like TripAdvisor and Safari Bookings. They tend to take huge commissions from listing tours from local African companies and as a result the price of the tour tend to be higher if you book through these agents.

How long to spend or stay on safari in Africa

Average days to spend on safari in East Africa:

How long you can spend on your safari in Africa or stay on safari is very much a question of personal preference that depends on a number of factors like your budget, what you prefer seeing, modern work pressures and how much holiday time you have at your disposal. Averagely you can spend 2-16 days on safari in Africa depending on your experience desires and budget.

There are a number of scenarios we encounter in relation to safari duration. There are some few clients especially repeat travelers who prefer going on safari for 3-4 weeks and surprisingly will not feel how long enough the safari has been. They try to go by the original concept of looking at a safari as a “journey” of discovery and reflection to the wild and ancient hinterland of the “Dark Continent”.

Then we have the other group of clients traveling to Africa and East Africa in particular for business, conference, visiting friends or just transiting through among other reasons and want to enjoy a quick safari as an add on with in the shortest time possible. Most of these travelers prefer 1 day to 4 days safari.

Given enough time at your disposal, the average duration of our safaris is between 8 to 16 nights and within these days you can cover all the major Uganda safari experience or Rwanda safari experience or even combine Uganda or Rwanda primates with Tanzania migration safari with an extension to Zanzibar.

But with pressures that come with work, family and costs, two weeks safari duration seems to be what most travelers prefer factoring in travel time. At Engabi Tours and Travel we normally recommend that you have at least one rest night on arrival after a long international flight and to combine your safari with a non-wildlife experience like Ssese Islands beaches on Lake Victoria, Lake Kivu in Rwanda or Zanzibar Islands to allow you relax after you hectic safari activities.

The remoteness of the safari activity experience determines how long you stay for a safari since there is a need to balance between diversity and immersion. This also goes hand in hand with how much time is required to transfer from one lodge to another and from activity back to the lodge.

If a lot of time is spend moving to the activities and back then you need a longer stay to be able to able to have enough time relaxing and enjoying your room. However some experience can be experienced within two days or even one days. For example a 1 day Uganda gorilla trekking safari tour from Kigali.

Still wondering how long you should stay on safari! Contact our travel expert with your preferred travel style and we advise you.

Best Safari Destinations in East Africa

Where to have the Best Safari in East Africa 2023;

Choosing the best safari destination in East Africa can be difficult and a daunting task as there are many destinations with many parks and unique animals and activities to explore which makes choosing one place to go on safari a challenge. Among the best Safari Destinations in East Africa, the Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro crater in Tanzania and Masai Mara game reserve in Kenya stand out as the top places for a classic Big Five mammals safari, Bwindi forest National park in Uganda and Volcanoes National park in Rwanda Stand out for Gorilla Trekking and other Primates tours. Other National parks and best places to go on Safari in East Africa include Amboseli National Park in Kenya, Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda, Tarangire National Park in Tanzania, Murchison falls National Park in Uganda and Lake Nakuru Nakuru National park in Kenya among others.

Below we bring you the best Safari Destinations in East Africa

Where to have the best Safari in East Africa

• Serengeti National park
• Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
• Volcanoes National Park
• Queen Elizabeth national park
• Murchison falls National park
• Ngorongoro Crater
• Amboseli National Park
• Masai Mara Game Reserve

Kenya 

Often regarded to be the ultimate safari destination in East Africa, Kenya undoubtedly incorporates some of the continent’s most rewarding and exciting national parks and wildlife reserves. Famous among all is the incomparable Masai Mara whose green grasslands support large concentrations of lions, cheetahs, spotted hyenas and other predators. From the months of August to October Masai Mara hosts the world’s greatest wildlife spectacle- the great Wildebeest migration when thousands of wildebeest stream across the Mara River from neighboring Tanzania.

Next in line is the iconic Amboseli, where some of the continent’s most impressive and well habituated elephant herds can be seen crossing the rugged plains below the snow-capped Kilimanjaro Mountain. We cannot forget the gem infested Rift Valley lakes of Lake Nakura which is home to rhinos, Lake Bogoria home to the flamingos and the amazing Lake Naivasha home to different species of birds and Hippos. While in Kenya you can also look out for Laikipia, Samburu Buffalo springs and Meru wildlife reserves.

A large section of a Kenya safari is ideal for couples or romantic getaway most especially the coast. Additionally, families and couples looking for quality time together should consider booking a private safari with their Engabi Tours and Travel.

Like any other sub-Saharan Africa destination, the best time to visit or go on a Kenya safari is during the dry season that happens from late June to October because these are the best wildlife viewing months and it’s the best to experience the wildebeest as the  migration usually reaches the Masai Mara in August and remains until October when they move back to the Serengeti in Tanzania.

Tanzania

Home to the Serengeti a place that many safari lovers regard to be the greatest national park on the continent, Tanzania offers memorable, romantic and unique experiences that you can enjoy as a couple, family, group or even as a solo traveler. From climbing Africa’s highest mountain the Kilimanjaro Mountain, riding over the migration in Serengeti in a balloon safari to viewing and appreciating wildlife scenic landscapes or even relaxing at island beaches you get to create shared memories that you can reminisce about for decades to come.

The northern Tanzania safari circuit is a terrific introduction to the continent as it takes to the safari capital of Africa bringing you closer to the iconic parks of Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater Lake Manyara and Tarangire as well as Mt Kilimanjaro.

Other world class wildlife attractions in Tanzania include the chimpanzees of Gombe  and Mahale out west, or the southern wilderness parks of Selous and Ruaha which are better for return safari trips due to vast distances  and the poor  infrastructure.

The best time to visit Tanzania depends on your experience of interest for example between January and March is Wildebeest calving season and Serengeti national park attracts more predators such as lions, leopards among others in search of food hence this season becoming one of the best times to spot predators in the Serengeti national park.

Between June and July is the best time to witness the great wildebeest migration in large numbers in the Serengeti. However wildebeest migration can also be witnessed but not in large numbers in August till early November.

In January large numbers of migratory birds are arriving especially in Ngorongoro and Lake manyara and is the best time for birders to visit Tanzania as it increases chances of seeing variety of bird species. Tanzania Birding is also possible in November and May.

For Mountain climbers and hikes, the dry season of between and October is very favorable to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt.Meru.

However tourists should not forget that the dry season is the best time to visit Tanzania or go on a Tanzania safari because this season enables animal viewing as the grass dries up and the water holes too therefore, the animals have to move around the park in search for water and pasture and in most cases the animals tend to gather in an area having water in the national park therefore they gather around water holes rendering it the best spot for animal viewing. It also provides the best opportunity to catch the predators as they wait on the small animals coming to drink water along the banks of the river.

Uganda

Uganda is the arguably the best destination for those in search of the absolute pinnacle of primate safaris. Bwindi forest impenetrable National park and Mgahinga National park are home to the Mountain gorillas while Kibale forest National Park is home to Chimpanzees as well as colobus monkeys, velvet monkeys, de Brazza monkeys and a host of other species.

Destination Uganda is just as much sought after by birders as it boasts of over a thousand species such as the handsome francolin, dwarf honey guide, purple-breasted sunbird and the unforgettable shoebill among others. Additionally Uganda is a superb destination for traditional safari by vehicle in Murchison falls and Queen Elizabeth National parks or by boat, thanks to its lush habitats and variety of species. For those in search of something fresh and vibrant, Uganda is the perfect choice. A sighting of lion, elephant or leopard here is a moment to treasure and is seldom shared with other vehicles. Six to 8 days are enough for a first time traveler to explore Uganda

The best time to visit Uganda is like the other East Africa destinations the winter months (southern hemisphere) from June to October

Though the northern hemisphere is divided into four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the most part of Africa typically has two seasons including wet and dry.

To help you plan the best time to go for your memorable safari adventure in East Africa, here is our month-by-month guide on when to go on safari in East Africa and the countries to visit in different seasons.  In East Africa that is made up of  the countries of Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda and Tanzania, the dry season takes place during the months of January to March and June to October while the Wet Season is around the Months of April to June and November to December.

Best Time To Go On Safari in East Africa Based on One’s Desired Safari Activities 

Note that the safari seasons in East Africa are a bit complex and therefore deciding when to go on safari in East Africa depends on what type of safari experience you want to plan. Is it Gorilla trekking, great migration, game viewing or Mountain climbing? The fact is most safari areas in East Africa enjoy warm days, cool evenings and excellent game viewing year-round.

Game viewing and Wildebeest great migration

Game viewing in Uganda’s savannah parks (Murchison falls, Queen Elizabeth, Kidepo and Lake Mburo Parks) is best at the end of the dry season from February to March and September to early October. This is the time when wildlife is concentrated around water sources

The best time to go to Tanzania for a Wildebeest Migration safari in the Serengeti and for wildlife viewing in other major national parks like Ngorongoro crater, Lake Manyara and Tarangire is from about June to October

Kenya can be visited for the Masai Mara wildebeest migration from mid-August to late October when the herds have returned from Tanzania’s Serengeti.

 Gorilla trekking in Uganda or Rwanda

Gorilla trekking in Uganda and Rwanda is an all year-round activity but the drier and cooler months of January-February and June –September are recommended.

Mountain Climbing or Hiking

For Mountain climbers and hikes, the dry season of between July and October is very favorable to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt.Meru.

Bird Watching

Bird watching is fantastic all year round but is at its peak from November to April when migrant species are present. We’d recommend trying a Uganda safari during the heavy rains of April and May as there are few people and cars plus lots of discounts on accommodation.

In January large numbers of migratory birds are arriving especially in Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara and these are the  best time for birders to visit Tanzania as it increases chances of seeing variety of bird species. Tanzania Birding is also possible in November and May.

Beach Holidays

If it’s a tropical beach holiday that you’re after, the best time to visit Tanzania’s coast, Zanzibar and other islands is between June and March.

Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast is hot and humid all year round and rain can fall at any time. We recommend avoiding the coast from about March to May when temperatures and rainfall are at their highest.

The islands of the Seychelles can be visited all year round since they have warm beach weather. Note that the islands are hotter from December to April and wet from January and February with showers which are generally short followed by more sunshine.

The best time to visit the gorgeous Mauritius is from April to December when the weather is dry and sunny.

Planning An African Safari vacation

How to Plan An African Safari Vacation for First Timers?

Planning an African Safari involves choosing the right African safari Tour destination, Knowing how long your African safari holiday will take, Choosing the right African safari company, Finding out which travel requirements you will need, Finding the right packing list, knowing the wildlife and gorilla viewing rules, Choosing the right safari lodge and Finding the right camera for your African safari.

These 8 easy steps to planning an African Safari provide first time Safari Goers the ideal opportunity to get inspired and start planning an unforgettable Gorilla trekking, adventure and wildlife safari to Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Kenya and and Congo.

 

Africa offers a variety of cultures, landscapes and experiences. East Africa (Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Kenya and DR Congo) in particular is home to some of the world’s most stunning wildlife like Gorillas, Chimpanzees, wildebeests and is famous of being home to the “Big 5” mammals making it a go-to destination for safaris. However it’s expensive, far and requires a lot of careful planning and to help you make the most out of your first gorilla trekking or wildlife safari in East Africa, here are our top tips and advice to make sure that your first African safari is a memorable trip;

 How to Plan An African Safari in 8 easy steps

1-Choose the right safari destination

2-Know how long your safari will take

3-Choose the right African safari company

4-Find out which travel requirements you will need

5-Find the right packing list

6-Know the wildlife and gorilla viewing rules

7-Choose the right safari lodge

8-Find the right camera for your African safari.

 1-Choose the right Safari destination or where to go on safari in Africa.

While planning a safari trip to Africa and East Africa in particular, the very first question that lingers in every travelers mind is where should I go on safari in Africa?  Or which is the best safari destination in Africa? For starters, Africa is home to numerous safari experiences that vary from country by country, region by region and season by season.

Here’s how to find your perfect safari destination in East Africa:

• Decide exactly what animals are on your wildlife checklist and how much you would want to spend because each East African country offers its own unique charms and wildlife encounters and experiences. For example Uganda and Rwanda are famous for Gorilla and Chimpanzee trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Volcanoes National Park respectively, Tanzania and Kenya are famous for great wildebeest migration in Serengeti and Masai Mara respectively, Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya are also known for the “Big 5” mammals  and finally Kilimanjaro and Rwenzori Mountains are famous in Tanzania and Uganda respectively. Contact a dedicated travel planner from Engabi Tours and Travel about precisely what you’d like to see or do while on safari in Africa.
• Get a Calendar and start checking when your preferred Africa safari experience is happening and the best time to go during the year in terms of weather. For example January to March and July to September are the best times to experience the most thrilling wildebeest migration activity in Serengeti-Tanzania while the dry season (June-October)  is the best season to go on a Uganda and Rwanda safari and Gorilla trekking tour as Uganda and Rwanda Safari activities such as gorilla trekking become easy and at the same time it’s during the dry seasons that Safari goers are in position to spot all the “Big 5” mammals in their natural habitat as a lot of wildlife animals are moving around all over the park looking for food and water.
• If you’re traveling along with younger children you might want to place more importance on choosing a malaria-free destination though that’s not so alarming as there are many malaria forms of prevention measures to rely on.

2. Know how long your first Safari will take.

It’s important to know how long you actually want to be on safari though this depends on a number of factors to consider such as the kind of safari experience you want and your safari budget among others. For example most travelers need a safari introductory part and we think a short 3- 5 days will be perfect to prepare them for longer trips in future. For first time travelers whose passion is wildlife we think a week or two is sufficient for example for  wildlife viewing, gorilla and Chimpanzee  trekking in Uganda followed by a beach stay on the shores of Lake Victoria on Ssese Islands.

On the other hand a first time safari goer can combine Uganda Gorillas and Tanzania wildebeest migration safari or Kilimanjaro hiking for two weeks with an extension to Zanzibar islands. However note that a safari doesn’t have to be very long to be memorable and that the pace of a safari can be exhausting for first time travelers hence you need to allow yourself some time to relax on arrival or from the long game drives and hiking encounters.

3. Choose the right East Africa Tour Operator to book your first Safari with.

To avoid the hustle and bustle of planning and booking an African safari specifically a Uganda or Rwanda Gorilla trekking safari tour or a Tanzania great migration safari or even a combination, you need to book your first African safari via a professional local tour operator especially if you’re planning on visiting more than one destination. This ensures safety, easy communication, and responsible travel and above all saves you time and money as the local tour operator will get you discounted and comfortable accommodations, transport means and  comprehensive itineraries.

Read here reasons why you should book your safari with a local tour operator

4. Find out which travel requirements do you need to travel to Africa.

It’s important to know if visas are required to enter your preferred safari destination countries as some countries might be exempted, which vaccines are required, which currency is accepted and if you need insurance on the trip. Most countries require visas to allow entry and these can be got on arrival at ports of entry or online though we advise that you always use the country’s official immigration or visa websites instead of using commercial sites that charge extra fees while offering less or nothing.

Additionally always ensure to get administered with travel vaccines like yellow fever and others based on your doctors advice because you may need to present the certificate on arrival at your safari destination. Based on recommendation from your doctor, you should take anti-malarial tablets and immunity boosting medication to stop Covid-19.

About getting medical insurance ahead of planning your first safari trip, you may contact for example, AMREF- the flying doctors organization based in Nairobi which provides air evacuation services across East Africa as well as air ambulance transfers between medical facilities.

5. Find the right packing list for your first Africa safari

Packing ahead of time gives you time to shop for whatever thing is needed on an African safari without panicking.  First time safari travelers to Africa often imagine that it will be hot all the time but the dry season (June- October) when game viewing is at its best tends also to be cooler and as the sun rises you’ll find yourself warming up and will want to remove fleeces and scarves in favor of t-shirts and sun hats.  Therefore always pack sunglasses, a hat (washable and crushable), light closed shoes (snake and mosquito proof) ,sandals, long-sleeved shirts, scarf and sun cream. Avoid jeans as they are usually too hot and avoid dark blue since this color attracts tsetse flies also please leave your precious jewelry at home. Above all ensure you’re comfortable as you will be spending a lot of time in a vehicle traveling around. And don’t forget to bring a great pair of binoculars that can offer at least 8×30 magnifications to ensure that you comfortably view game from afar and the images appear crisp and vivid.

6. Know about the wildlife viewing and primates tracking rules and regulations

For your safety and safety of animals on your first Africa safari, always ensure that you know about the rules and regulations that will guide you on your safari.

7. Choose the right Safari Lodge to stay in on your first Africa Safari.

There are thousands of safari lodges and camps to choose from for your safari and while your tour operator will offer suggestions it’s also important that you do your own research and understand the difference between lodges and what they offer in terms of location. We advise first time safari goers to consider the exclusiveness and remoteness of the safari lodge and how it contributes to the wellbeing of the local people and the community.

8. Find out the right camera equipment to bring on safari

Ensure you do a quick course on how best to use your camera before you travel to make sure you get that special picture of your first game sighting. It might be as simple as spending some time playing with settings and taking photos around the house. You do not want to get to your first amazing sighting and be unable to capture the moment!. However instead of spending on your camera, you may just pack your camera body with standard lenses and hire the zooms from your lodge as some lodges rent out camera equipment .Ensure you carry extra memory cards and a portable battery pack for your smartphone as you may use it to take more pictures and videos than you expect. For your safety and the safety of the animals, refrain from using flash photography for close-up photographs of the animals.

Finally since you are ready to take off, don’t forget to travel responsibly because going on safari is as much about the people as it is with the wilderness. Therefore take sometime getting to know the local people and their culture. Try learning the local language and keep a diary so that all the wonderful things seen and experienced are kept and remembered. You can also find out from your tour operator if there are community projects you can support or volunteer in while on your safari holiday.

Read here some reasons why you should go on a volunteering safari in Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania

Ideally we recommend that you devote the first safari experience to one country or region and immerse yourself in it especially in East Africa.
