By Betty Ward


You must have heard people talking about their bucket lists and in it a trip to one of the African countries often features. Maybe you also have plans to make a tour in that destination. Well, this could be one of the daunting trips you have ever planned for. To begin with, a safari in Tanzania or any other African country is not cheap. But there are ways to cut costs.

To begin with, the tour should begin by creating an itinerary you are comfortable with. The next thing involves picking and selecting the aspects of that trip crucial to you. This is also the right time for you to determine how autonomous you want to make your exploration. While planning for this tour can be an uphill task even for seasoned travellers, the following tips will make it just fine.

If you are visiting an African nation, it is important to note that some of the attraction sites are widely spaced. Others are miles away from each other. For that reason, you do not want to travel before determining the various areas you would want to visit. While doing that, it is crucial for you to determine if there will be organized pool transport to those sites.

Transport is one of the most complicated items you have to ponder before departing for Africa. Maybe you have been looking forward to cruising the wild with a 4X4 vehicle. But when your budget limits this kind of expenditure, there are other avenues you could use. Talk to one of the tour planners in that country and see if they have organized any activities that will take care of transport costs.

Food is another great aspect you do not want to forget during this tour. For most visitors, food around tour sites and luxury hotels is always on the higher side. This is probably because the locals believe that such tourists have saved a lot of money they want to splash around. You can avoid such expenses by always eating in some of the local restaurants offering delicacies at the most affordable rates.

Always work closely with a trip advisor to when the best time it is to make your tour. It should not surprise since nearly all great tourist sites have their high and low seasons. For example, between the months of May and August, there is less vegetation hence attracting many visitors who want to bewilder at the different animals in the wild. You can spot leopards, hyenas, giraffes and lions plus many more.

Packing time is always the most confusing, especially if it is your first time. Most travelers tend to jam their bags with items imagining every possible situation. It is best to resist that urge because it will only help to add to your expenses. Usually there are a number of luggage restrictions besides the charges for transporting it.

You can always choose to travel with a light suitcase, or just a backpack like the one used by hikers. Figure out what to carry with you. For footwear, do not bring heavy boots. Moving light will make the experience more enjoyable.
