They have plenty of knowledge about the habitat. They can definitely help you explore the place better and they often charge less as compared to big travel agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Factors_Influencing_Prices_of_Safari_in_Botswana\"><\/span><strong>Factors Influencing Prices of Safari in Botswana<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The costs involved in Travel In Botswana can vary depending on your traveling style. If you choose to stay in high-end lodges or take up private journeys, then the <a href=\"https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/botswana-safari-cost\"><strong>Botswana Safari Cost<\/strong><\/a> can be extremely high. But there are ways to keep the costs within limits and manage a Botswana Safari on a Budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So let\u2019s discuss the main factors influencing the prices of Safari in Botswana:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The month\/season of the year you choose to go on a Safari determines your Botswana Safari Budget.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Budget flight options to enter Botswana.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How do you get around Botswana?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The number of days you choose to stay in Botswana.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The cost of camps you stay in Botswana.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether you are traveling in a group or solo.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Budget travelers generally prefer going solo and staying in camps. This will definitely reduce the overall price of the trip. But going in a group has its own advantages. You will instantly make friends and enjoy your journey with like-minded people. Also, another added benefit is that you can always share your costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Month_Is_Best_For_Safari_In_Botswana\"><\/span><strong>Which Month Is Best For Safari In Botswana?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>June to September is the peak season in Botswana. It costs around $9000 to $10,000 per person for Travellers planning a week-long stay during peak season\/dry season in a good premier camp.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>During the off-peak season (September to December) for the same week-long stay, the costs per person were reduced to $5500 per person in a moderate camp.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s take a look at approx. prices per night at moderate camps (private mobile camps) vs. premiere camps for budget travelers across all seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Prices Per Night<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Green Season<\/strong> <strong>(Dec-March)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Shoulder Season<\/strong> <strong>(April, May, Oct, Nov)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Peak Season<\/strong> <strong>(June-Sep)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Private Mobile Camps (Moderate)<\/td><td>$550-$600<\/td><td>$700-$775<\/td><td>$825-$950<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Premier Camps<\/td><td>$650-$825<\/td><td>$825-$1200<\/td><td>$975-$1500<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hence, we recommend our travelers visit Botswana in April-May or October-November. This is the <a href=\"https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/best-time-to-visit-botswana\"><strong>Best time to Visit Botswana<\/strong><\/a> for a once-in-a-lifetime experience at reasonable prices. Also, for Botswana Safari Budget journey in a low\/ green season; is from December to March. Although the weather may not be that favorable, safari is available at reduced and affordable prices. The main attraction is the migratory birds and areas are packed with wild animals and their young ones during the Green Season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_Budget_Flight_Options_To_Enter_Botswana\"><\/span><strong>What Are Budget Flight Options To Enter Botswana?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are no direct flights between Botswana and most of the other countries. You need to stop over in Johannesburg, South Africa before landing at Gaborone, the capital of Botswana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The prices of flights will vary according to the season and airline you choose to travel by. Obviously, the prices tend to increase in summer months as it coincides with holidays in the northern hemisphere and more tourists visit African Safaris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If on a budget, the cheapest option we can suggest is to fly to Johannesburg and travel overland to Botswana. Travellers can save their money by booking car\/4 \u00d7 4 rentals. The starting cost for car rentals for a package with basic insurance is $115.&nbsp; Prices may increase if you book a safari vehicle\/ campervan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Get_Around_Botswana\"><\/span><strong>How To Get Around Botswana?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two means to get around Botswana- by road and by air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, getting around by fly-in safari may not be a good option for tourists on a budget. They are expensive due to the high-end logistics involved. &nbsp;They are used to access isolated private reserves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, instead of traveling by air, you can choose to go by road. Some inexpensive modes of transport via road offered to include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Joining a tour:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cheapest mode of transport to Travel in Botswana is to take a tour. The important thing about taking a tour is that you need not worry about anything other than planning your tour in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All the details about driving, hiring cars, insurance, park fees, accommodations, activities, and food are taken care of in the BudgetBotswana Safari Packages<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can check <a href=\"https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/botswana-safari-packages\"><strong>Botswana Safari Packages<\/strong><\/a> on our website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Self-Drive:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are traveling in a group or are on a solo trip, then self-driving can be a great option for you. This is a really economical option for travelers coming in groups as they can share the costs of the car. <strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to explore the rich wilderness of Botswana using this option, then we can recommend getting a 4\u00d74 rental like a Toyota Land Cruiser or Toyota Hilux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For self-driving in Botswana, you need to be above 25 and Hold an International Driver\u2019s License. Also, remember about the GPS, fuel, and insurance costs while you rent a car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Public Transport:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can choose public transport to travel between the main towns in Botswana. But that\u2019s not feasible as you can\u2019t access remote places using the mini buses. So, you end up paying for the tours anyways. So, why not book them in the first place only?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Many_Days_Do_You_Need_In_Botswana\"><\/span><strong>How Many Days Do You Need In Botswana?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s needless to say but the length of stay directly impacts the cost you are going to pay. And yes! The more time you stay (with the same tour operator), the less you are paying on per night basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, you can buy affordable Safari Packages for longer safaris (7 + nights) and travel Botswana Safari on A Budget<strong>. <\/strong>Otherwise, a 3 or 4-night safari tends to cost more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our budget Safari Packages start from $195 per person per night. We can arrange the best facilities on a budget to suit your requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Botswana, we would recommend minimum 7 days to explore the country\u2019s different game-viewing regions like the Kalahari Desert, Okavango Delta, and Chobe National Park, the lush green lands of the Linyanti and dry pans of the Makgadikgadi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Find_Affordable_Accommodations_In_Botswana\"><\/span><strong>Find Affordable Accommodations In Botswana<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As always, comfortable accommodations generally do eat a major share of the budget while planning any trip. The more private the experience, the hefty the price you pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Campsites, lodges, and hotels are some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/botswana-accommodations\"><strong>Botswana Accommodations<\/strong><\/a> options available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lodges generally opt for luxurious accommodations. They are pricey as well as remote too. There are not many hostels for visitors around Botswana apart from major cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, Budget tourists generally don\u2019t mind camping. Camping costs around $ 20 per night. You can purchase groceries at local supermarkets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_Of_Booking_A_Camp_In_Botswana\"><\/span><strong>Advantages Of Booking A Camp In Botswana<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For traveling to Botswana on a budget, camping is a viable option. Your tour company will provide you with your camping equipment. You need to carry your own sleeping mats too. For mid-range camping trips, the tour company provides you with everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its\u2019 actually fun put up your own tents, and cook your own food on these kinds of camping budget tours.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Areas_To_Cut_The_Cost\"><\/span><strong>Other Areas To Cut The Cost<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, lets\u2019 look at some other options through which you can save money while planning Botswana Safari on a Budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Food &amp; Drinks<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cooking for yourself will help you save more money. You can access cooking equipment at campsites\/ hostels and bring groceries from local supermarkets and cook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, you can buy beer and alcohol from local supermarkets to save money. Instead of buying bottled water everywhere, you can buy a filtered water bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Activities<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many activities including game drives, boat cruises, and plane rides. Honestly, there are too many options available. If you don\u2019t organize it intelligently you can spend unnecessarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have rented a 4\u00d74 vehicle, then you can explore national parks yourself and save yourself some money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Cheap_You_Can_Travel_In_Botswana\"><\/span><strong>How Cheap You Can Travel In Botswana?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given the number of factors that can influence the prices of a Safari in Botswana, it\u2019s really difficult to estimate an exact cost. But, for the knowledge of our readers, we will try to summarize the average price of an affordable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.botswanatourism.co.bw\/\"><strong>Safari in Botswana<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can estimate minimum prices of $450 per person for a 10-day stay with a visit to the Okavango Delta, Savuti Marsh, and a Chobe Safari during peak seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>International flights<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4\u00d74 rental with a tent on the roof.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accommodation at the campsite.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Entry at parks for game viewing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Food<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prices can vary on the conditions affecting the Safari visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the bare minimum costs for a budget safari visitor in Botswana are given below for our readers to get an idea:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Flights- $1050<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accommodation per day- $27<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transport per day-$65<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parks per day- $20<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10-day safari- $220 per person per day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note: There are the minimum prices per person who chooses to travel with the bare minimum necessities.
