For those who’ve visited before, could you share insights about local tour operators? What’s the estimated cost in USD? I’m working with a $40k budget that needs to cover flights – will this be sufficient? Planning a 15-day adventure in September, with flexible departure options from either Guangzhou or Beijing. Any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

For a more comprehensive picture, it would be helpful to know:
– Typical costs for mid-range vs luxury tour packages
– Must-see attractions that are worth splurging on
– Any seasonal events happening in September
– Recommended local tour companies with English-speaking guides
Looking forward to hearing about your experiences and suggestions to make this trip unforgettable!
I think $40k should work if you go with a mid-range operator, but double-check the details to avoid surprises. Have you considered combining a safari with climbing Kilimanjaro for better value? Also, book your flights well in advance to get competitive prices. Safe travels!
Kilimanjaro climbs and the migration can get pricey. Mid-range tours might cost $2,000-$3,000 per person just for those activities. Flights from China add significantly to the budget. Consider booking flights early and negotiating package deals.
