Safari holidays are more popular than ever now with prices becoming more affordable for many people. In the past only the very wealthy could go on safari holidays or you would have to save up for many years to be able to afford it, now with more and more safari holidays on the market, there is competition so tour operators have had to drop their prices to be able to compete.   If you go to a travel agent or look online at safari holidays to South Africa for a week then you will most likely be quoted prices that are well over two thousand pounds per person but can you really can go on a safari without having to spend that amount of money.?

You can do a cheaper safari holiday to South Africa but you will need to be prepared to do a bit of the leg work and possible book last minute to get the best deal. If luxury lodges fine dining is not essential then there is a wide range of accommodation that will suit you and will save a small fortune on your budget. Shop around for the cheapest flights and check departures a week or so either side of your original dates as you may save there too.

You may also choose to go a little out of the main season to help bring the costs down.
