How much does a family Kenya safari cost?

Direct answer

A 7-day family safari (two adults, two children) to Mara and Amboseli typically runs USD 5,000–9,000 total mid-range, or USD 12,000–20,000 at luxury. Children aged 9–17 pay USD 50/day Mara fees (under 8 free); KWS parks charge USD 40–45 per child. Family tents at camps like Governors' Camp sleep four; many lodges offer 25–50% child discounts on accommodation when sharing with parents.
