There is an entire level of the market in Kenya catering to travellers who are looking to save money, and the wildlife they will see on a budget trip is the same wildlife that the luxury guests pay ten times more to see. The lions don't know in which camp you slept.
The Great Craggy Mountains are the kind of range that rewards close reading. On a map, they may look like a compact mountain system, but in practice they contain a varied set of summits, ridgelines, and passes that differ sharply in shape, height, and climbing character. For anyone who enjoys geography, route planning, or simply comparing mountain profiles, the range is interesting because no single peak defines it completely. Instead, the identity of the range comes from the contrast between sharp crags, broad shoulders, and isolated high points.
Every summer thousands of sailors blow €4,000–€6,000 each hopping from Split to Santorini. We did the exact same 620-nautical-mile route for €347 per person, four crew, twelve days, zero drama.
