Being one of the most beautiful continents with a lot to see and explore, many travelers find peace, joy and unforgettable experience every time they visit year round. Taking into consideration the prices of public transport, car hire services, accommodation, meals, park entrances and free attractions, East Africa is the most amazing and cheap region to explore for any exclusive Africa Safari holiday at any budget without breaking the bank. The region has countries like Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda and Tanzania the most attractive in wildlife, gorilla trekking, mountain climbing, chimpanzee trekking, Bird watching, beach holidays and many more.
Tanzania-Land of Wildlife and Mountains
The Land of Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar and Serengeti and a main tourist hub for those planning to visit for massive wildlife viewing, mountain climbing, beach break and cultural excursions. It’s one of the inexpensive countries in Africa offering friendly costs with value in every tour aspect of its visitors. Tanzania is a place that tourists enjoy before and after their Tanzania vacation holidays. Dare salaam and Arusha are the major cities for spending more time after Tanzania safaris and vacations. Did you know Tanzania is the largest country in East Africa covering 937,062 sq km south of the Equator? It borders Rwanda Burundi and Congo (DRC) in the west, Kenya and Uganda in the north and Zambia, Malawi in the south making it easy for interested in exploring other countries in the region. However, Tanzania caters for all travel interests like wildlife, beach holidays, honeymoon, family adventures, mountain climbing birding to mention but a few since its one of the great wildlife gems in Africa. Mountain Kilimanjaro is one in a million and the many wildlife parks like Serengeti, Manyara, Tarangire, Ngorogoro etc.
Kenya- the Magical Land of Wildlife
Kenya is the best budget camping and luxury safaris destination in Africa for wildlife lovers especially those to Masai Mara, Amboseli, Nakuru, Tsavo Aberdare and many other Kenya wildlife park. The Masai Mara community is something you can’t miss out while in Kenya on your Kenya wildlife safari. Also Kenya tour operators offer a wide range from Kenya Budget Safaris to Joining group safaris, budget camping ,student safaris, beach combined holidays among others at pocket friendly prices any time of the year. Also the country has several budget hotels of all kinds, campsites for those interested in backpacking travel. With affordable park fees, transport and accommodation all Kenya attractions are a quick add up for any budget Kenya safari any time of the year. However, to catch up with the great wildlife migration in Masai Mara, July-October is the best time to visit Kenya. Time when massive wildlife cross from Serengeti to Mara and make high risk river crossings.
Rwanda-the land of thousand hills
With its historical treasures and beautiful landscapes, Rwanda is a cheap, impressive country for travel in Africa. There is a lot to explore in Rwanda for free including the multiple cultural attractions, Lakes, Rwanda genocides, Butare Museum etc. Besides, even when it comes to world most exciting wildlife adventures, Rwanda offers the shortest and cheapest in volcanoes national park. Public transport is cheap, car hire services are available making it easy for tourists to move around and connect to different tourist destinations in a cheap and affordable way. However, I recommend private transport for those heading out to track Rwanda gorillas in volcanoes national park because it’s easy to connect to the park head quarters and where the trek kicks off from. Remember, Rwanda’s prime attraction is mountain gorillas and most tourists to the country come to see mountain gorillas on different Rwanda gorilla trekking holidays. If you travel during the low tourist seasons, you will certainly enjoy great discounts on hotel rates but not on Rwanda gorilla permits though the park has plans of revising the prices during low season months.
Uganda – The Pearl of Africa
Uganda is a home for many budget safaris though most famed to the world for being the best budget gorilla trekking destination in Africa year round. Great discounts for gorilla and chimpanzee permits are found here in all primate parks including Bwindi forest, Mgahinga national park, kibale forest National park, Queen Elizabeth national park and Murchison falls national park. However, other Uganda parks offer great affordable experiences to travelers across the world. Imagine rafting the all with a bungee jump break in the afternoon on the source of the Nile at less than $200 dollars, seeing gorillas at $450 dollars, trekking chimpanzees at $50 dollars and also viewing wildlife at $20 dollars. What a great destination Uganda is in Africa with lots of fantastic adventures.
