What is the cheapest Kenya safari?

Direct answer

The cheapest option is a 3-day/2-night shared-road safari to Masai Mara from Nairobi — from roughly USD 220–250 per person sharing in low season, including transport, budget tented camp (Enchoro or Rhino Tourist Camp), full-board meals, and park fees. Camping safaris with dome tents run USD 150–200/day. Travelling January–June (USD 100/day Mara fees vs USD 200 peak) and joining a 6-person group cuts per-person costs further.

Overview

Uganda combines mountain gorilla trekking, classic savannah game viewing, chimpanzee tracking, birding, and cultural experiences in a compact circuit. The right answer depends on your dates, fitness, budget, and whether you travel with a licensed operator who handles permits, road logistics, and park regulations.
