Botswana Budget Safari

Small-Group Camping And Accommodated Safaris For The More Budget Oriantated Traveller

Botswana is often considered an expensive safari destination, but that is not always the case. While we do offer high-end safari lodges and fly-in packages, there are also several more affordable options that one can look at.

With these safaris, one will most certainly not lose out on a wildlife safari experience as these safaris include the famed destinations of the Okavango Delta, Moremi Game Reserve, the Khwai private concessions, Savuti, Chobe National park and the Central Kalahari Game Reserve to mention a few.

Below and on this page, you get to explore some of the most affordable budget safari in Botswana budget safari options that we at Uyaphi.com have to offer.

Whether you are looking for a small group camping budge safari or an accommodated safari package that includes stays in more rustic, back to nature tented camps, we have something for everyone! We have also included below a few overland safaris that focus on Botswana.

When it comes to a Botswana safari on a budget, in our humble opinions, camping (or rustic tented camps) is the way to go. Not only is camping and rustic tented camps more affordable, but it also gives you an authentic safari experience without breaking the bank. Camp out under the stars in some of Africa's most beautiful locations, and you'll have the opportunity to see wildlife up close and personal. Botswana is home to some of the best private camping safaris in Africa, so this is it if you're looking for a budget safari option.

One of the great things about a budget safari in Botswana is that they are longer in duration than most other options out there, more time experiencing all that the country has to offer at a fraction of the cost of a luxury fly-in safari over the same period. We do, however, have shorter options that we will be adding in the next few months; enquire in the meantime, and we will advise you of the options available.

So, if you are looking to explore this beautiful country without breaking the bank, be sure to check out our selection of budget Botswana safari packages below!
