Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How much does a 3-day Kenya safari cost?

The cost varies based on your destination, level of accommodation (budget, mid-range, or luxury), and whether you choose a private or group safari. Prices typically range from $400 to $1,200 per person. We can customize a safari to fit your budget.

What is the best 3-day safari in Kenya?

The most popular 3-day safaris are to the Masai Mara, Amboseli National Park, or a combination of Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha. The best choice depends on your wildlife interests, travel dates, and preferred travel style.

Is it better to drive or fly to the safari destination?

Both are great options. Driving gives you a scenic experience through Kenya’s countryside and is more affordable. Flying is faster and more comfortable — especially for shorter trips or travelers wanting more time in the park.

What types of animals will I see on a 3-day safari?

Expect to see a wide variety of wildlife including lions, elephants, buffalos, giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, hippos, rhinos, and countless bird species. The Masai Mara and Amboseli offer particularly high chances of Big Five sightings.

• Light, breathable clothing in neutral colors

Can children go on a 3-day safari?

Is travel insurance required?
