Kenya Coast and Wildlife

Enjoy wildlife viewing in Tsavo East followed by plenty of time to chill out on the beach afterwards. The safari is done by road from Mombasa and the beach section is based to the south of Diani Beach but variations on this can be offered on a tailor made basis with alternative accommodation.

Note that Satao Camp accepts children and is inside Tsavo East so night drives are not allowed, but can be enjoyed from Satao Rock Camp. The Rock Camp however does not accept children.

NOTE - This price is a guideline using Satao Camps in Tsavo and Pinewood Village. We can quote for other lodges, please ask for details.

Tailor made to suit you.

Pricing guidelines for Kenya

Open Panel

We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.

International flights will add from about £400 to £800 depending on the season and route (unless the airlines have special offers). Kenya combines well with Tanzania or Uganda.

For each accommodation on this website you will find an indication of the price. The bands are based on the price per person per night at peak season and are represented by the following values for this country:
	£50 to £150
	£150 to £300
	£300 to £500
	£500 to £800
	Over £800

For a specific personal quote based on any tailor made itinerary you have in mind, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help you.
