Useful Information for African Tours and Safaris
How Many Days Do I Need for an African Safari?
It depends on how many game reserves you wish to visit. We recommend spending at night three nights in a game reserve. It is possible to do a multi-stop tour of different game reserves in the same country, or to do a multi-stop tour of game reserves in different countries, such as Kenya and Tanzania that are neighbors.
How Much Does an African Safari Cost?
There are a range of different safari packages available to suit your budget. Your choice of accommodation (which ranges from budget to luxury) and your choice of guide or self-drive will affect the price of your safari. Speak to your Tourlane Travel Expert for a free quotation.
What Should I Wear for an African Safari?
We recommend that you pack at least three pairs of light-fitting pants, simple t-shirts, and some long-sleeved shirts for the colder days, the early morning game drives, and the evenings. It does get cold at night in Africa, so it is sensible to pack sweaters, gloves, hats, and a scarf. Early morning game drives are one of the best times to spot animals, and you will want to be warm enough!
When Is the Best Time to Go on an African safari?
The best time to go on an African safari depends on the country which you choose to visit. Generally, the best time to go on safari is during the dry season, as animals are more likely to be moving around in search of water. This runs from May through October.
Which African Safari Is Best?
There are so many different countries in Africa that offer excellent safaris. Our top recommendations for African safaris are Kenya, Tanzania, and South Africa, which are home to the following legendary game reserves: the Masai Mara, the Serengeti, and Kruger. Less

Whether you’re looking for a world-class safari, a beach getaway, a culinary adventure, or a cosmopolitan city break, South Africa has it all. It offers adventurous travelers some of the world's most dramatic and unforgettable wildlife viewing opportunities, like seeing the “Big Five”—lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards and rhino—in iconic game reserves like Kruger National Park.
