What determines the cost of your safari?
Accommodation style
Budget camping, mid-range tented camps or luxury lodges - the single biggest price driver.
Travel season
Peak (Jul–Oct migration & festive) costs most; the green low season (Apr–May, Nov) is cheapest.
Park & conservancy fees
Charged per person, per day, and vary by park - a real, separate line in every quote.
Group size
Costs are shared across the vehicle, so larger groups and group-joining trips pay less per person.
Safari length
Longer trips usually have a lower per-day cost, but a higher total.
Extras & add-ons
Balloon safaris, flying between parks, private vehicles and beach extensions add to the base price.
Kenya park & conservancy fees (per adult, per day)
Entry fees are set by the authorities and added on top of your land package. Approximate non-resident rates for 2026:
| Park / reserve | From (adult / day) |
|---|---|
| Maasai Mara National Reserve | ~$100 |
| Mara private conservancies | ~$100 – $130 |
| Amboseli National Park | ~$100 |
| Lake Nakuru National Park | ~$100 |
| Tsavo East / Tsavo West | ~$52 |
| Ol Pejeta Conservancy | ~$110 |
| Nairobi National Park | ~$43 |
When is a Kenya safari cheapest?
Low / green season April, May & November are the most affordable, with lush scenery and fewer crowds.
High season January–March, June and early-mid December sit in the middle.
Peak season July–October (the wildebeest migration) and the festive period are the priciest and busiest.
