Home FAQ Cost & budget

Is Kenya good for budget safari?

Direct answer

Yes — Kenya offers East Africa's widest budget safari range. A 3-day/2-night shared-road Mara safari from Nairobi starts around USD 220–250 per person sharing in low season, including transport, budget tented camp, full-board meals, and park fees. Camping safaris run USD 150–200/day; travelling January–June (Mara fees USD 100/day vs USD 200 peak) and joining a 6-person group cuts 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.
