A recent conversation with a friend inspired me to write an article about affordable safaris. She was aghast that I had visited five national parks in Tanzania on my safari, under the impression that safaris were reserved for the affluent. Hardly, I explained to her. I researched many tour companies online, including Facebook reviews, and found that the in-country companies were the most affordable. I was also searching for a combination package, where one company would arrange my Kilimanjaro climb and safari, for one price. Zara Tours turned out to have the best reviews and was the most affordable. As expected, it was a no-frills adventure, but highly personalized and the guides were exemplary.
