Costs, Permits, and Logistics

Confirm current fees when you book — tariffs are set by national park authorities and can change by season or residency status.

• Maasai Mara park fees vary by season (roughly $100–$200 per 24 hours for non-residents).
• Wilson Airport bush flights connect Nairobi to Mara, Amboseli, and Samburu in under 90 minutes.
• Build routes to reduce backtracking — primate parks, savanna parks, and flights should align by sector.
• Buffer days after gorilla treks help if hikes run long or weather delays bush flights.

Sample Itinerary Shape

Most travellers anchor the trip around one flagship experience (gorilla trek, migration, or Big Five loop), then add supporting nights for chimps, boat safaris, or cultural stops. Avoid stacking long drives on the same day as a primate trek.
