Kenya budget wisdom

1

Park fees alone can be USD 200 a day per person — factor them in before quoting yourself a budget.

2

Conservancies cost more than the main reserve but limit vehicles and allow off-road and night drives.

3

Group joining safaris from Nairobi start around USD 150/day all-inclusive — solid budget option.
