What to consider while costing your Kenya safari
The cost of a safari in Kenya usually depends on number of days one wants to spend in the country, the class of accommodation and many other things that need to be accounted for.
Just like other safaris in other countries, safaris in Kenya are not so cheap since whatever package you choose, the overall total cost has to include transportation, food, park entry fees and accommodation. In most cases being on a solo safari gets a bit costly since you end up covering most costs alone, so it would be advisable you visit Kenya with a friend to share costs especially of hiring the safari vehicle.
An all-inclusive 3 days safari on budget can cost $500 with spending at least $150 or $200 per day.
Ensure that you get enough information about the different attractions to visit and things to do to see the factors considered in costing a safari. And below are some of the factors to consider;
Length of safari (Duration)
Whichever way you are planning your safari whether through a tour operator or on individual basis you need to know the number of days you will spend in Kenya. By doing so it helps you know how much you will need to spend daily.
For example; a person that desires to visit Kenya but has a tight budget, it is advisable you stay in the country for lesser days, because the longer you stay in the country the more the cost because also other factors like accommodation affect your length of stay.
But if you plan to stay longer, you could visit in the low season where prices are lower; you could save about 40% which would have been spent in the high season, the other advantage is that you get to watch baby wildlife, birds and also the crowds are lesser in the Parks.
Number of people traveling
This is important; whether you are planning a private safari or group safari or family safari among others. The number of travelers is considered in the perspective of the transport costs.
So when its only one person traveling he/she has to meet all the costs of hiring the safari vehicle and the number of days it will be used. However, if you hire a 7-seater van, which is about $150 per day or a 7-seater 4X4 Land cruiser costing about $230 per day, the cost is shared among the seven people which is not the case when its only one person travelling.
Going on a safari as an individual can be costly in terms of transport.
Accommodation facilities
This starts with you; what kind if accommodation do you what, but before you choose that you should be knowing which places or national parks and the exact sectors you are visiting. Because in most cases the location of your accommodation affects which activities you participate in.
Kenya has different accommodation ranging from super luxurious suites to luxury lodges to moderate tented camps to budget lodges to campsites. So even whatever budget you are on you are sure that you won’t lack where to stay while in Kenya.You can get accommodation that ranges from $40 dollar to more than $1200 a night.
But keep in mind that accommodation in different areas like Masai-Mara during the peak season can be on high demand so if that’s when you want to travel then you should make your bookings early enough.
National Parks
These are the major places to be visited while on the Kenyan safari. The park visited is based on the traveler’s interest; the kind of wildlife or birds they want to see. However, the most popular wildlife reserve is the Masai-Mara because for the Annual Wildebeest Migration and charges higher price.
One of the cheapest National Parks like Nairobi charges an entry fee of $40 per day, others like Meru, Tsavo West and Tsavo East charge entry fee of $52 per day and the Masai-Mara and Amboseli charge $60 park entry fee per day.
Other activities
Of course while on safari you will enjoy game drives and have memories that are unforgettable, but it is important to engage in other activities such as hot air balloon safaris, horse riding, river rafting, guided nature walks, night game drives, these experiences also come at an extra cost.
You could book to engage in them before you travel such that they are costed in your original total cost or you could pay and engage in some while on ground already.
When to visit
The season or time of the year you visit Kenya is important in the aspect because there are both the peak and the low seasons. Peak season is when business is high and the numbers of visitors are high, the low season is the opposite.
Therefore knowing when to travel affects the cost of your safari because most costs are high especially the lodges and of which during the low seasons some lodges lower their prices. But t also helps you to know what to see and engage in the time you travel. The best time to travel is in the dry season from June to October when even the Wildebeests have arrived in the Masai-Mara or from January to February.
Other factors to consider while costing your safari to Kenya are; Travel Insurance, Visas, International Flights, Domestic Flights, Tips, Laundry, Souvenirs, drinks and beverages and Extra cars or Transfers(from Airport to accommodation and vice versa)

GRAZIE UGANDA!Luke Beale2024-04-25Excellent gorilla trekking experience and amazing guides and trackers. It would've been a lot more work if it was raining. We were lucky we found the gorillas within an hour, it can take up to 8 hours for a round trip. Recommend a good level of fitness, most of it is steep slippery terrain completely off track. The best thing to do in Uganda.Nadeem arshad2024-04-14V good place for holidaysJoseph Lionceau2024-04-04Was really good forest with various wildlifeMuhumuza Tom2024-03-26Great experience One life time experiencejordi cis2024-03-22Avui celebrem el Dia Internacional dels boscos. Creat per l'ONU fa 11 anys, aquest dia crida l'atenció sobre la necessitat de preservar aquests ecosistemes essencials, que subministren aliments, aigua, medicaments i altres recursos. Cobrint més del 30% de la terra a la Terra, es creu que els boscos d'arreu del món contenen més de 60.000 espècies d'arbres. I vull destacar el Bosc Nacional Impenetrable de Bwindi a Uganda, que acull 160 espècies d'arbres i 100 espècies de falgueres, com així com un extraordinari 50% de la població mundial de goril·les de muntanya. El bosc té matolls de bambú que creixen entre els arbres, dificultant l'accés a peu, fet que dona el seu nom "d'impenetrable".Safari Vacations Africa2024-03-18Great place to see the Mountain Gorillas and also enjoy the scenic drives and walks around the forest.Adriko Jerry2024-03-13Best gorilla trekking destination In UgandaGoogle rating score: 4.7 of 5, based on 1036 reviews
67pompeo2024-04-05Unique emotion A memorable day! We begin with a briefing in which the rules of behavior are explained, then groups of 8 people are formed and the family of gorillas to search for is assigned. The price is high, 700 dollars, but it is absolutely worth it. We must also consider that each group is accompanied by 2 armed rangers and a guide plus 3 other rangers who leave at dawn to look for the gorillas and then guide us via radio. The duration of the trek depends on the location of the assigned family. It took us about 2 and a half hours to reach them, we traveled through a thick and beautiful jungle, the ranger in front literally created a path with his machete. The route is challenging, but when we finally meet the gorillas the emotion erases the fatigue. When we get nearby we have to wear masks, then meter after meter the rangers make our way until we reach a distance of 5 or 6 meters. From now on we have exactly one hour to enjoy them. Gorillas are completely uninterested in our presence. We were lucky, the family was quite large, a majestic silverback, 5 females and 4 puppies of various ages. Time flew by watching the puppies play with each other and with their mothers while the silverback ate almost continuously. Truly memorable experience, absolutely worth trying!Yves P2024-03-12Highly recommended despite the price tag. In the morning, after a welcome dance by locals (I hope), we received a clear briefing and were divided into groups of max. 9 people. Our trip took about 5 hours in total (we had to search and the gorillas were not immediately found by the trackers). Fortunately there was no rain, otherwise you would have a different story in terms of difficulty!!! Sturdy footwear is really recommended here. The permits are currently $700 and would soon be increased to $800!!! Money that goes directly to the government. Some would go to locals, guides, trackers and porters. I'm curious what percentage??? For people with poor physical condition, a "carrier" is really recommended. Energy gels are useful. Don't be guided too much by videos on You Tube of close encounters with gorillas that come and tinker with your ear as an introduction to people. Those encounters will certainly exist, but they are the exception rather than the rule! But all in all a great experience.jemba najib2024-02-08bwindi impenetrable national park gorilla trekking My expedition to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park transcended the ordinary, offering an unparalleled encounter with nature's grandeur. As I embarked on gorilla tracking, venturing deep into the heart of the dense forest, each step felt like a pilgrimage into the realm of the extraordinary. The sheer magnificence of witnessing endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat left an indelible mark on my soul, a testament to the park's unrivaled conservation efforts. Every aspect of the journey, meticulously arranged by the experts in gorillatrackings.com epitomized excellence, from the knowledgeable guides to the seamless logistics. In the presence of these majestic creatures, time seemed to stand still, and amidst the ancient trees and mist-shrouded valleys, I found a profound sense of connection to the primal rhythms of the natural world.Christina G2024-02-04Gorillas in the mist Seeing mountain gorillas had been on my bucket list forever and finally, and I was so glad, to fulfill my dream in Bwindi Impenetrable forest. To be honest, I kind of psyched myself out by reading too many descriptions about how strenuous the hike would be. Considering I was still suffering from some after effects from Covid, I eventually told my guide to ask to put me in a lower group…well, beware that low groups can be very low…we spotted ours after barely half an hour. But while my heart initially dropped, I ended up having the best experience! Our group was called Busingye - translating to „peace“ and we indeed had a very peaceful silverback who let us take pictures of all three babies. One of them climbed up on a branch, then back down to its mother’s back, letting itself fall back to chuckles from everyone. Another one was being nursed. The two babies ended up playing with each other…it was simply magical. The hour flew by, especially as the gorillas kept moving and we had to follow them. When it was time to pack up, though, we were granted a small encore as 2 gorillas came to our path and we passed directly underneath one/ by one…officially you need to keep a 7 meter’s distance at all time, but oh well - no-one told the gorillas and I don’t think there was a meter between me and the last one. Honestly, this might have been the best hour of my life! I do hope to regain all of my fitness and one day return for the 4 h habituation experience. As for now, I‘m grateful to the trackers, my guides and my porter Meron. - Take garden gloves!! You will be grabbing on to thorns and vines - Be honest about your fitness but don’t be scared…some of the gorillas are very close to the town - Hire a porter, even if you are fit! Providing employment opportunities to locals is the best way to help protect gorillas - Bring some cash to also tip the gorilla trekkers and buy some souvenirs - Wear enough insect repellent - the forest is crawling with bugs - Put the camera away for a bit…even if it’s hard…you will want to remember more than just staring through your lense - Just go! If you’re thinking about whether it’s worth it - it absolutely is!!Fab2024-01-26Travel January 2024 Gorilla tracking, the walk to meet these animals is truly technical, between the slippery ground, the vines that cling to our shoes, the roots that trip us up, the mud in which we sink... it It was tough! My carrier truly accompanied me. Both for carrying my bag and for telling me where to put my feet. The rangers are angels, very vigilant and know this forest like no one else. Opinion from a Valais woman who regularly walks on the trails in her region.Mignon V2024-01-08Gorilla Habituation Experience - Worth Every Cent This was an amazing experience. It was very different from what I have read up. Trackers get sent out in the morning from 6am to follow the family and to Habituate them. They use pangas and machetes and make grunting noises to get the family used to them. We entered the Forest were the gorilla family where being tracked, and needed to try and get to them. The terrain is difficult to navigate, as you are following the path that the gorillas are going and they really move off any beaten track. And these guys are on the move the entire time. We spent 4 hours following the family and got to see how they naturally move around the forest, eating and playing. They are truly majestic. You need to be fit for this experience, otherwise you will miss out. Wear long sleeves, pants, closed shoes, and have a face mask available. There are so many bugs. Bug spray is also a must. This is the more expensive option for tracking in Uganda, but well worth the money. The guides and trackers are very experienced and really ensured that we were safe and that we enjoyed the experience.emilie v2024-01-02Unforgettable An unforgettable experience that respects animals and the indigenous population, the gorillas are certainly accustomed to humans but maintain their initial behaviorKara-acel Experiences2023-12-12Gorilla Experience It was really fascinating witnessing Gorillas in their natural habitat. Great appreciation goes to kara-acel experiences for making this possible!curiousworldwanderer2023-12-09To do once in your life! The name of the forest itself (impenetrable) sounds like quite an adventure. It is the home of half of the mountain gorillas remaining on earth, and, as such, was a must for me. I was expecting a lot of mud, a long trek, and a lot of uphill and downhill walk to see the gorillas. On that day, the weather was good and dry and the family we had been invited to visit was only 10 min. away from the parking place. While such a short distance may kill some of the glamour of the impenetrable forest, we did see a family of 10 gorillas (silverback male, females, juveniles, and babies). This was the main objective. We were a group of 6 people and spent one hour with the family. The trackers did a good job to show us the best angles to see and take pictures of the various family members and to explain to the gorillas' lifestyle. I will never forget this experience.Benremp2023-10-24Amazing After a splendid but challenging walk we arrived at a family of gorillas Magical moment Be careful the slopes are very steep, you need to be in good shape
