Thanks for visiting!
Found your video helpful. Did u pay separately for the room/meals and vehicle/game drives? So how total per night for all of it pp or for both of u? Suggestion on how much to tip? Thx
We went during high season when prices tend to be higher. The safari itself (driver and game drives w/o tip) was $160 USD per person per day. The upgraded vehicle (see our best vehicle video) was another $1080 USD over the course of our 9-day trip, but you could get by cheaper. Rooms in Amboseli and Naivasha were around $180 per person per night including all food, but not alcoholic drinks. The room in the Masa Mara was $330 per person per night and also included food, but not drinks. As for tips, that's up to your discretion, but we left generous tips at the hotels and for our safari driver. For the driver, I think $20 to $40 total a day is recommended. I will say we left more. Our driver was fantastic and the great people in Kenya do not make a lot of money so we tipped as much as we could afford, but they never make you feel obligated. I outline a lot of the costs in the videos if you want to see what the rooms look like for that price. Let me know if you have more questions.
Would you mind sharing what you paid spirit of kenya? I watched videos 1nt in navaisha, 3nts amboseli, unsure how many nts maasai mara..4? I don't think you completed safari every day. Did you ask more than one tour company to quote?
Here are exact costs:
9 safari days - $160 USD per person per day = $2,880 USD.
2 nights at Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge - $190 USD per person per night = $760 USD
1 night at Naivasha Sopa Lodge - $180 USD per person per night = $360 USD
5 nights at Mara Eden - $330 USD per person per night = $3,300 USD
Vehicle - Upgrade to a Land Cruiser = $1,080 USD
We contacted numerous companies and Spirit of Kenya seemed to be the best value. A lot of other places were way more expensive. We are not affiliated with Spirit of Kenya at all, but I do highly recommend going with them. Hope this helps!
@ChrisChrisman thank you for detail. $8380 is an approximate total for 8 nights 🌙 two people. I reached out to Spirit of Kenya and received very quick response. I think prices increased a bit for 2025. We want 7nts safari and 3 nts DIANA beach mid August. Your videos were helpful. Great photos! I'm also checking out another firm based in the Netherlands. Hope to make decision soon. Happy travels! Monday I'm off to Bali then Thailand and a cruise on AMA DOWN the mekong.30 days.
Wow, you are quite the traveler! You would love a safari. It was one of our most favorite trips. We stayed at Waterlovers in Diani Beach and it was great. We have a video on that if you have not watched it yet and should have some more Diani Beach videos out at some point. Thailand is amazing!! Enjoy Bali...we have never been, but looks wonderful. Have fun and safe travels and let me know if you have any more questions. Take care!
