Home FAQ Cost & budget

Is Kenya expensive for safari?

Direct answer

Kenya spans wide price ranges — budget Mara road safaris start around USD 150–250/day, mid-range runs USD 300–600/day, and luxury fly-in camps reach USD 800–1,800/day. Park fees rose sharply in 2024–2025: Mara charges USD 100/day (Jan–Jun) and USD 200/day (Jul–Dec), among East Africa's highest. Kenya is cheaper than Botswana luxury but pricier than Namibia self-drive at peak season.

Overview
