Hi Liesbeth! Thanks for your comments 🙂 We have traveled several times in the rainy season for a safari and yes, there are times when rain would pour or the sun would be hiding but considering the savings, and that there were definitely fewer people, which mattered to us, I think it’s still worth it. And this is one of the trade-offs to do a Budget Safari. Otherwise, travelers should go during the usual best time to travel.

I have noted your other comments and they are super helpful. I have made some edits in the article to reflect them. Thanks, again 🙂

Traveling in low season will for sure make a difference if you’re staying in lodges, but seeing the article is about budget safaris, I don’t think this is relevant. Prices for public campsites (at least here in Tanzania) are the same all year long, and I would definitely not want to be on a safari during rain season. If the rain happens during your game drive, you won’t see anything because you will not be able to open the roof and animals will simply be hiding as well. I also don’t agree with advising people to only visit the Serengeti if they want to see the big 5, because first of all you will almost certainly not see rhinos in the Serengeti on a standard safari, and second, you have to drive through (and pay for) Ngorongoro anyway to get there. It’s also super far from Arusha or Moshi so it definitely makes more sense to combine the Serengeti with other parks. Entrance fees are per day as well, so whether you stay in the Serengeti for 5 days or split those 5 days between different parks, it’s all the same anyway (parks like Manyara or Tarangire are cheaper so that would even be more interesting pricewise).
