Direct answer
Private Kenya safaris with your own 4×4 Land Cruiser and guide start around USD 300–500 per person per day mid-range and USD 600–1,500+ at luxury level. A 5-day private Mara safari runs roughly USD 2,100–3,500 mid-range and USD 4,500–7,500 luxury per person sharing. Solo travellers pay a 20–40% single supplement; groups of four or more reduce the per-person vehicle cost significantly.
