The Best time to visit Africa for local tours
The ideal time depends on where and what you want to do, but broadly the dry season, roughly June–October across much of southern and parts of East Africa, is best for wildlife viewing because vegetation thins, animals congregate at water sources and visibility improves. East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania) also has a secondary good window in January–March; the continent’s two rainy periods (long rains Apr–May and short rains Nov–Dec) make some roads harder to use but reward visitors with lush landscapes, baby animals and excellent birding. Choose dates by country and by activity (safari, gorilla trek, beach)
Average cost of African local tours
Costs vary hugely by style and destination. Budget/group camping tours can start around $145–$450 per person per night; typical mid-range safaris and local escorted tours average $400–$550 per night; luxury lodges and private experiences commonly begin around $700–$1,200+ per night. For a 7-day trip expect roughly $2,200–$7,000 per person for mid-range packages, while bespoke luxury weeks can reach $12,000–$20,000. Extras (hot-air balloon, guided walks, community visits) add fees. Final price depends on season, accommodation, park fees, transport and group size.
