Global Safari Tourism Market is valued approximately at USD 33.37 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of more than 5.60% over the forecast period 2023-2030. Safari tourism involves traveling to natural habitats, primarily in Africa but also in other regions, to observe and experience wildlife in their natural environment. It offers an opportunity to witness and appreciate the diverse range of wildlife species. Safari tours typically involve guided game drives, walking safaris and sometimes even camping in designated areas. Besides wildlife encounters, safari tourism often encompasses cultural interactions, scenic landscapes, and conservation education. It provides a unique and immersive experience for nature enthusiasts and wildlife lovers, allowing them to connect with nature, support local communities, and contribute to the preservation of endangered species and their habitats. Moreover, growing international tourism and rising household disposable income are anticipated market drivers. Furthermore, growing urbanization and increasing cross border connectivity emerged as the growth opportunities in the market during the forecast period of 2023-2030.

According to the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) in 2022, the global tourism industry experienced a decline in international tourist arrivals, dropping to 406.89 million in 2020. However, there has been a gradual recovery, with numbers increasing to 455.7 million in 2021. Notably, 2022 witnessed a significant rebound, with a remarkable surge in international arrivals reaching approximately 963 million. This recovery in international tourism has positively impacted various sectors, including safari tourism, as more travelers seek out unique and immersive experiences in nature's wilderness. According to Statista in 2023, the United States had the highest gross adjusted per capita household disposable income among OECD countries in 2021, followed by Luxembourg and Australia. This economic prosperity provides individuals in these countries with the means to engage in leisure activities, including safari tourism. With higher discretionary income, individuals can afford to explore unique and adventurous experiences, such as wildlife safaris, which often come with higher costs due to their exclusive nature and remote locations. However, limited cross border accessibility and Political instability & security concerns may hamper the market growth.
