This is the most expensive safari. You spend nights in expensive and luxurious hotel and some luxurious stuff in the safaris vehicle. - Mid-range Safari
The type of accommodation we book for this kind of safari are neither cheap nor expensive. Most travelers prefer this safari as it is comfortable and enjoyable yet economical. - Budgeted Safari
This is typically camping safari. Handling tents/camps are cheaper than spending nights in hotels or lodges. The good news is, you will have the same game drive/activities as the above 2 safaris.
You will note that, the above list is mostly differentiated by the type of accommodation.
