Curious about Kenya safari cost per person in 2026? Prices vary by budget, duration, and season, but here's our expert guide to help you plan.
Kenya Safari Seasons: Dry vs. Wet Explained
Kenya's equatorial climate means two main Kenya safari seasons:
Dry Season (June to October): Ideal for best time for Kenyan wildlife safaris. Animals cluster around waterholes, making game drives epic. Clear skies and lush landscapes enhance photos.
Green Season (November to May): Lush greenery, baby animals, and affordable Kenya safari packages due to lower rates (up to 40% off). Rain is short and afternoon-based, rarely disrupting safaris.
Pro tip: Avoid peak rain in April-May for comfort, unless birdwatching is your goal.

Josantos Safaris ranking of the best months for Kenya safari, based on wildlife density, weather, and value:
• July to September: Peak for Masai Mara Migration Safari
The best month for Kenya safari hands down. Over 1.5 million wildebeest cross the Mara River in dramatic Masai Mara migration safaris. Lion prides feast, elephants roam, and visibility is unbeatable. Book our luxury Masai Mara safari packages early—spots fill fast!

• January to February: Short Dry Season Magic
Perfect best time for Kenyan wildlife safaris post-rains. Vast herds calve on the plains, drawing predators. Fewer tourists mean intimate experiences. Pair with our Nairobi safari tours for flamingo-filled Lake Nakuru.

• June and October: Shoulder Season Wins
Great Kenya safari seasons with thinning crowds and dropping prices. Migration starts/ends, weather is mild, and big cats are active at dawn/dusk.

• November to December: Budget-Friendly Green Season
Vibrant parks, newborn animals, and festive vibes. Ideal for affordable Kenya safari packages including Amboseli elephant safaris.

With 20+ years expertise, we craft personalized Kenya safari tours tailored to the best month for your Kenya safari. From budget 4-day Masai Mara trips to 10-day luxury fly-in safaris, our guides ensure 100% satisfaction. 

All packages include park fees, meals, and conservation-focused experiences.

Book early —spaces fill fast!
For comfort, practicality, and respectful travel, we suggest packing: - Neutral-colored clothing (khaki, olive, beige) and light layers for cool mornings/evenings - A warm fleece or light jacket for early game drives - Comfortable closed-toe shoes - Sun protection (hat, sunglasses, high-SPF sunscreen) - Insect repellent and personal medications - Binoculars and a camera (plus extra batteries/memory cards) - A soft-sided bag (often preferred for safari vehicles and small aircraft) If your itinerary includes domestic flights, luggage weight limits may apply; we will share exact limits and packing guidance based on your final route and accommodations.
Health guidance varies by country visited, season, and your medical history. Common recommendations for East Africa safaris may include: - Routine vaccinations (up to date) - Yellow fever (sometimes required, especially when crossing borders or arriving from certain countries) - Typhoid and hepatitis A (often recommended) - Malaria prevention (risk exists in many safari regions; discuss prophylaxis with a travel clinic) We strongly advise visiting a travel clinic 4-8 weeks before departure for personalized advice. Bringing insect repellent, long-sleeve layers for evenings, and any prescription medications in original packaging is also recommended.
Visa requirements depend on your nationality and your exact entry points. Most travelers require: - Kenya: An Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) completed online before travel. - Tanzania: An eVisa obtained online in advance or a visa on arrival (availability varies by nationality and border). We recommend applying well ahead of departure and ensuring your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates with sufficient blank pages. After you book, Josantos Safaris can advise the most current official links and the best option for your itinerary (including cross-border Kenya-Tanzania routes).
Tipping is customary in Kenya and Tanzania and is a meaningful way to recognize excellent service. While amounts vary by budget and level of service, many guests follow these general guidelines: - Safari driver-guide: Tip per day (often given at the end of the safari). - Camp/lodge staff: A shared tip (often placed in a communal tip box). - Porters (where applicable): A small tip per service. We will provide clear tipping guidance tailored to your itinerary, group size, and the type of safari (budget, mid-range, or luxury), so you can tip confidently and appropriately.
To confirm a safari with Josantos Safaris (Masaimara Serengeti Safaris), we typically follow a simple process: - Reservation: Choose your itinerary, travel dates, and accommodation level (budget, mid-range, luxury). - Deposit: A deposit is required to secure lodges/camps, park reservations, and transport (the exact amount depends on the itinerary and season). - Balance payment: The remaining balance is usually due prior to arrival or before the safari starts (timing varies by package). - Changes & cancellations: Cancellation terms depend on supplier policies (lodges/camps, flights, and permits). We will always share the applicable cancellation schedule in writing before you pay, and we recommend travel insurance to protect your investment. If you share your dates and preferred style, we can provide a detailed quote with clear payment milestones and cancellation terms.
Booking is straightforward: - Inquiry & consultation: Share your travel dates, preferred parks (Masai Mara/Serengeti), budget level, and interests (migration, Big Five, photography, culture). - Tailor-made itinerary & quote: We confirm availability of lodges/camps and vehicles, then send a detailed itinerary with inclusions. - Reservation & deposit: To secure accommodations and permits, a deposit is typically required after you approve the itinerary. - Final payment: The balance is usually due before arrival (timing depends on the season and accommodation policies). We accept common international payment methods and will provide a clear invoice and payment instructions. If you need a phased payment plan, request it during the planning stage and we’ll advise what’s possible based on lodge terms.
Game drives are guided wildlife-viewing excursions conducted in safari vehicles (typically 4x4). Most parks follow a similar rhythm: - Morning game drive: Starts early (often 6:00-6:30 AM) for the best wildlife activity and soft light. - Afternoon game drive: Usually begins around 3:00 PM and ends near sunset. - Full-day game drive: Includes a packed lunch and longer time in the park. Schedules can be adjusted depending on park rules, weather, and your itinerary.
Yes. We can arrange fly-in options to reduce travel time and increase time on safari. - Kenya: Flights from Nairobi (Wilson Airport) to Masai Mara airstrips are common. - Tanzania: Flights between Arusha, Serengeti airstrips, and Zanzibar can be included. Fly-in safaris are ideal for travelers with limited time, those seeking added comfort, or anyone combining multiple destinations efficiently.
Yes. We design family-friendly safaris with age-appropriate pacing, shorter drive times where possible, and flexible schedules. Some lodges and camps welcome children of all ages, while others have minimum age requirements (often for safety and comfort). If you share your children’s ages and your family’s interests, we can recommend the most suitable parks, accommodations, and activities (such as cultural visits, nature walks where permitted, and relaxed game-drive timings).
Yes-comprehensive travel insurance is strongly recommended for all guests. For a safari in Kenya and Tanzania, we suggest a policy that includes: trip cancellation/interruption, medical and emergency evacuation (including air evacuation from remote areas), hospitalization coverage, baggage and camera equipment protection, and coverage for activities included in your itinerary (such as game drives and balloon safaris if selected). If you have pre-existing medical conditions, confirm they are covered. We’re happy to share typical coverage levels guests choose, but insurance is purchased independently through your preferred provider.
Yes-many of our itineraries can be designed for families. We tailor pacing, drive times, and lodging choices to match your group’s needs. Key considerations include: - Recommended ages: Some camps and certain activities have minimum age requirements; we will advise the best options for your children’s ages. - Comfort & logistics: We can prioritize family-friendly rooms/tents, shorter transfer days, and private vehicles for flexibility. - Safety standards: Our driver-guides are experienced in wildlife behavior and park rules. We brief families on lodge/camp safety protocols (especially around unfenced areas) and best practices during game drives. Share your children’s ages and any special requirements, and we’ll propose the most suitable family-focused safari plan.
