KENYA PRICE GUIDE

Generally there are three travel seasons when going on Safari in Kenya, these are:

Dry Seasons

Wet Seasons

Shoulder Season

 

Dry Season: June to October (Long Dry Season):

This is the peak season for safaris, particularly for experiencing the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebra in the Masai Mara. The weather is generally sunny and dry, with clear skies, making wildlife viewing easier as animals gather around water sources.

 

December to March (Short Dry Season):

This is also a good time for safaris and beach vacations, especially in December, when the short rains typically end, and the landscapes are at their best. It's a great time to spot newborn animals and migratory bird species. 

 

Wet Seasons (Low Season) - March to May (Long Rains):

This season is characterized by heavy rainfall, particularly in April and May, making some areas less accessible for travel.

However, the rains can also bring lush greenery and stunning landscapes for photography.

 

November (Short Rains):

The "short rains" typically begin in the second half of November, making it a low season with fewer tourists and potentially lower prices. 

 

Shoulder Season - November and February

These months are considered shoulder seasons, offering a good balance of pleasant weather and fewer crowds, making them great for exploring and potentially finding better deals on safaris and accommodations. 

 

We have put together this Price Guide to give you a general sense of the average costs when considering a Safari to Kenya.

We have used the shoulder season as a benchmark which we believe provides a balanced view between low and high season pricing. While rates can vary between properties and travel partners, we hope this serves as a helpful tool while considering the budget and standard of your safari journey, but please do reach out to us we are here to help you every step of the way!

 

It is important to note that this guide is meant only as a reference, as it does not reflect the quality of service, accommodation standards, or the richness of any of the experiences. Rather, we have designed this to give a broad overview of pricing across the different categories.
