Your kenya trip details
Daily lodge, drives and park fees before tier adjustments.
Your estimate sits within the typical range.
Kenyan park and conservancy fees are a significant, separate cost, the Maasai Mara and the private conservancies charge daily per-person fees that can be $80 to $200-plus a day, and they are often not fully included in a quoted lodge rate. Check whether your package includes park fees or adds them on top.
Australians need a travel authorisation (currently an electronic system) to enter Kenya, applied for online in advance for a fee, so there is no visa-on-arrival to rely on. Yellow fever vaccination may be required (especially if arriving from certain countries) and antimalarials are recommended, confirm with a travel doctor, Smartraveller and the embassy.
💰 Ways to save
- Take a group safari rather than a private luxury camp, same wildlife, a fraction of the cost.
- Confirm whether park fees are included in your lodge rate or added on top, they are a big separate cost.
- Travel in the shoulder season (outside the July-October migration peak) for lower lodge rates.
