Overview
Accommodation throughout is budget camping or basic guesthouse-style accommodation, with a shared 4x4 safari vehicle and driver-guide. This tier is for travelers who want the full safari circuit at the lowest realistic price point, without sacrificing a qualified guide or the core game drives.
This is the value-focused version of the route: the same parks and core game drives, arranged to keep the total cost as low as it reasonably can be at this comfort tier.
