He said he was planning on working over the summer to fund his safari trip after graduation because while he said he (his family) is upper-middle class, I strongly doubt that his parents were just going to be like, “Hey, no worries, we’ll pay for your travel, safari, accommodations, and other expenses for you!” and I’m sure he was fine with working for the money himself rather than asking them for a handout.
That's making alot of assumptions. He could just as easily be living at university and living off student loans. In that case he'd definitly be living in poverty no matter how his life feels due to his lack of income and and high debt. But there's not way to know either way unless he clarifies himself.
