What does a safari mean for you?
For me, a safari is communing with nature and listening to nature’s silence!

Please remember that I am a photographer and not a tour operator! However
my extensive experience in these regions enables me to advise you on
the best tour operators - those who live in the area, who will take care
of you best and for the best prices.

Rule N°1: there are no wild animals outside parks and reserves, except for
dogs, cows and birds!

Remember that there are generally 2 kinds of safaris

1°) the "holiday camp" where 6 or even more people are loaded into a 4x4 (plus the
driver) and off you go on the "tourist route", with no option for changing this route as
everything has been planned for maximum profit, despite the intermediaries who
take their cut! In fact, your hotel does not provide safaris itself, but it sells them!
You should budget $180 for every actual day in a reserve. Your driver's tactic
is to drive for longer outside the reserves, as this will cost you less, but
you will see fewer animals! Remember that a safari is a privilege
shared with nature, and if you are sharing your vehicle
with noisy people good luck on your safari!

2°) Genuine safaris, off the beaten track that will not cost more than those run via
intermediaries! Allow around $200 per actual day in a reserve per person if there are only
2 of you in the vehicle and $160 if there are 4 of you. You will be taken on a private safari
in a 4x4 vehicle, as Fred has an agency in Diani, and will be able to come and fetch you
from outside your hotel. Either Fred or another driver guide will take you on safari.
Fred often goes out on safari, which enables him to fully meet his clients'
requirements. Here is an example - relatively close to Diani.

Do you know why the camping safari in “way of Fred” is so special ? much better with
all levels, more authentic, completely out of the beaten tracks (even with children)
in total security, with a pleasant comfort, even shower and WC, a real communion
with nature, which allows an ethnic approach and for a price not more expensive
than the other prices. Sympathetic, not! It is the best formula if you like camping.

Do you know why the safaris are so expensive ? click here

A standard safari in minibus with 6 people, costs 170 dollars average per day in full board
A private safari (better) if you are 4 people in the family, will cost approximately
200 dollars per day in the minibus. In 4WD the same safari costs 280 $ per day.

The minibus or safari bus is very well because of its comfort, of its sight with 360° of it's very
large roof (protects from the sun) and its cheap price. The 4WD has much less advantages.
But it is more traditional, why ? I do not know ?

The prices of the safaris are according to the period, high or low, of the type of locomotion
minibus or 4WD, of the type of lodging, camping, tented camp or lodge, of the number
of people who roll together. For four people, the prices are interesting. Remember that
the safaris are very very expensive why ? click here .
