When comparing the South Africa safari and Kenya safari we need to look at several different elements that differentiate them. The first major difference is in terms of level investments. South Africa being wealthier than Kenya it has allocated more capital and other resource to the hospitality industry. The budget allocations in the two countries is very different; until recent Kenya allocated low budget that were insufficient for the marketing process but it no can advertise in major media houses as CNN
There are better accommodations in South Africa safari than in Kenya safari; also there are better infrastructure networks of roads, numerous top class airports and sea ports of entry. Their communication systems, such as the telephone network and internet are above what you have in Kenya. Due to the great productivity of south Africa in farming and mineral mining most of its countryside is well connect making the movement from one animal park to the other very easy.
South Africa safari has always targeted visitors from all over the world and market different attractions in addition to their wildlife. This has included the Far East, Middle East, India and the former European eastern block. This has enabled it to have a constant flow of guest even when the western countries are threatened by terrorists’ attacks. Kenya was former concentrating on only the big five and marketed itself only on the western countries.
The crime level facing foreigner in a South Africa safari is higher that that of Kenya safari. Most native South Africans are disgruntled by visitors especially the white due to their earlier apartheid experience, and react with violence if the tourism deviates from the norms.
