Nairobi National Park safari charges
A safari here has two bills. Our tour price covers the vehicle, the driver-guide, the game drive and pickup. The Kenya Wildlife Service park fee is paid by each guest on KWSPay.

What the tour price pays for
The safari vehicle and fuel, the driver-guide, the game drive, and hotel pickup and drop-off where the tour includes it. It does not pay for your park ticket, attraction tickets, lunch (unless you add Carnivore on a full day), tips, or a visa.
Private rates are per group, for your group only, with no other visitors. Per-person tours are the better deal for one or two guests. Compare them on the tour prices page.
