Kenya is a fantastic country to travel to be it individually or as a group. It not only consists of vast savannah plains with amazing wildlife but also luxury and affordable accommodation that you can relax, unwind and enjoy during your stay. Most of us would love and wish to come for an African safari. Or wouldn’t we? Of all the African countries, Kenya is perhaps the best country to do it in, because Kenya is home to the world’s famous Maasai Mara Game Reserve among other premium parks like Amboseli National Park, Lake Nakuru National Park, Tsavo National Parks, and Samburu National Reserve.
Many travelers (especially the budget ones) get very disappointed when they realize how expensive it can be, but luckily Explorer Kenya Tours & Travel also accommodates lower budget backpackers. A 3 day or more safari adventure to this beautiful reserve would be just perfect for you. While choosing this budget travel, you need to consider some factors such as:
1) Type of accommodation
You don’t have to stay at the most expensive hotel just because you want to fit in or are afraid to look cheap. If you are on a budget, there are excellent hotels that don’t charge outrageous prices. Every national park has dozens of different campsites that accommodate guests on a budget some located inside and others outside the park and reserves.
Examples of affordable lodges and camps in each park and reserve
Masai Mara National Reserve – Mara Sidai Camp or similar
Amboseli National Reserve – We4Kenya Guesthouse or similar
Tsavo East National Park – Kiboko Camp
Samburu National Reserve – Samburu Riverside Camp or similar
Lake Nakuru National Park – Hotel Chester or similar
Nairobi – Kahama Hotel or similar
Naivasha – Peppercorn Holiday Resort or similar
Coast – Sun n Sand or Similar
2) Camping
Kenya has the most beautiful landscapes and so much to offer camping lovers. There are so many places you can go camping at a low price. Camping is a good way of connecting with nature.
3) Time of Travel
Traveling during holidays and special days will mean you have to spend a little bit more than what you would have paid on the regular days, commonly referred to as low seasons. For instance, in December, valentines period and during the migration it will be more expensive unlike between March to May hence this will be the best time for you to travel.
4) Traveling in groups
Traveling in groups will save you more than when traveling alone. At Explorer Kenya, we offer scheduled safari which will not only help you save but also get to meet and mingle with new people. This will be an exciting and memorable trip for you.
5) Booking in advance
Booking with Explorer Kenya In advance has its own advantages for we offer a discounted price for those who book earlier. For instance, if you are planning to travel during peak season, booking in advance before the D-day approaches will mean you get to pay less than those who will book during that period.
