Whether you’re planning a budget-friendly escape or an ultra-luxury experience, Kenya offers flexible safari options. With thoughtful planning, you can tailor a trip that suits your style and budget, while still delivering unforgettable wildlife experiences and comfort.

Accommodation and Season

Price changes with timing

Where you stay and when you visit play a significant role in your budget.

  • Budget camps can range from $350 to $650 per person for a 3-day safari.
  • Mid-range camps typically range from $500 to $800, while luxury stays during peak season can cost up to $ 1,850 per person.

Rates are lowest between April and June, climb moderately in January to March and November, and peak from July to October. Nairobi stays vary widely too, from $20 guesthouses to $300 luxury hotels.

Prices increase with the demand, so early planning during shoulder or low seasons often leads to better deals and quieter experiences.

Other Cost Factors

Beyond the basics
  • Transport: Road safaris using vans are cheaper; Land Cruisers offer comfort at a higher rate. Flying is faster but significantly costlier.
  • Park Fees: Masai Mara charges $70–$80 per adult per day; Amboseli charges $60. Children enjoy discounted rates.
  • Activities: Balloon safaris, Maasai village visits, night drives, and nature walks come at an additional price but enrich your experience.
  • Other Expenses: International flights, travel insurance, visas, tips, souvenirs, drinks, and optional upgrades should also be factored in.
  • Group Size: Traveling in a group reduces per-person costs, especially for vehicle and guide services.

Planning wisely can help strike a balance between cost and experience, ensuring value without compromise.
