Safari Budget Guide - Kenya
Kenya's iconic parks (Masai Mara conservancies especially) have risen sharply. Conservancy fees on top of park fees add $100-$200/person/night. However, the range is wider than most African destinations.
Budget
Kenya has genuine budget options - campsites inside national parks from $30-$60/night, and budget lodges outside parks from $100-$250/night.
Mid-Range
Mid-range tented camps and lodges in and around the main parks from $300-$700/night per person.
Luxury
Private conservancy camps in the Mara from $600-$2,500+ per person per night, typically inclusive of game drives and conservancy fees.
Best Value Tip
Amboseli and Samburu offer more space and less crowding than the Mara at lower price points, especially in low season (April-June).
Park Entry Fees
KWS park fees typically $70-$100/person/day for non-residents. Masai Mara conservancy fees: $100-$200/person/night additional.
