Wondering how much a Kenya safari costs? Learn the main things that change the price and how to get good value.
There is no single price for a Kenya safari. Two people can both go on a 5-day trip and pay very different amounts. Here is why.
1. Where you go
Parks like the Masai Mara have higher fees than some others. Park fees are paid per person per day and can change, so it is good to confirm the latest rates on the Kenya Wildlife Service website.
2. Where you sleep
A simple camp costs less than a luxury lodge with a pool. Both can give a great trip, so choose what is important to you.
3. Time of year
Peak season, around July to October, has higher prices. The green season often has better deals.
4. Trip length and transport
A longer trip costs more. Flying between parks is faster but costs more than going by road.
5. Group size
Sharing a vehicle and room reduces the cost per person.
6. Extras
Hot air balloon rides, drinks, tips and visa or travel authorisation fees are often extra. Check what is included in your package.
How to get good value
Travel with a trusted local company, ask exactly what is included, and avoid very cheap deals that cut corners on safety.
