Tanzania Budget Safari: 3 Days, $500 – The Real Deal! 🦁🌍

Before coming to Africa, I thought safaris cost thousands—turns out, you can experience the wild without breaking the bank! Here’s how: 💰 Price Breakdown $500 for 3D2N: Covers Serengeti + Ngorongoro Crater, including: Tented camps (with meals, water, park fees, and transport). Solo traveler? Just +$10-20. Tips: 20,000 TZS (~$8) for chef, 30,000 TZS (~$12) for driver. Pro Tip: Book locally in Arusha—skip middlemen markups! 🛏️ Accommodation & Logistics Tents: Basic but comfy (sleeping bags, no pillows). Serengeti nights: Perfect temps for pajamas. Ngorongoro: Bring a fleece/rain jacket (it’s chilly at altitude!). Meals: Surprisingly good! Think grilled chicken, pasta, stews, fruit, and coffee. Charging: Available in dining tents/cars. 🐾 Wildlife Highlights Serengeti Days Leopards, lion prides, giraffe herds, and drama-filled hippos (their poop sprays are next-level 😂). Ngorongoro Day : (rhino included!) + flamingo pink lakes—all in one crater. 20+ lions, zebras, elephants, baboons, and more. Truth Bomb: You don’t need the “Great Migration” hype—animals here year-round! 🚗 Safari Hacks Wear sandals in the car (short? Stand on seats for better views!). days is ideal: Freshness lasts, and you’ll see 95% of species. Skip Kenya: Serengeti is 10x bigger—more space, fewer crowds. #BudgetSafari #SerengetiOnAShoestring #TanzaniaUnfiltered
