Safari is an expensive activity because it involves very high costs in the conservation of parks, reserves and lodges in remote regions, amongst other factors. Considering private reserves and lodges, privacy and quality of services also contributes to high prices, as well as government fees and taxes. In theory, the most affordable way to do a quality safari is visiting a national park in South Africa (such as Kruger National Park) by self-drive. But it is only recommended for those with appropriate time available and previous experience in safari.
