You get what you pay for when yearning for some wildlife african animals: A low price usually means the guides are paid less and old or ill-repaired vehicles are used. Land package costs vary according to the type of safari and where you go (Tanzania is generally more expensive than Kenya, for example), and how long (per day charges go down for longer trips). Per-day costs will be between $ 150 to $ 200. Air fare varies by the season. Current round trip air fare, Seattle-Nairobi, with 30-day advance purchase is about $ 2,300; packaged safari tours often offer a lower group air fare.
