Tour guides
Park tours go out with a licensed English-speaking driver-guide. You get the name before pickup. Guide-only is available if you already have a car.
Kenya driver-guides in 2026 typically charge $40 to $60 at the budget end, $70 to $90 mid-range, and $100 to $120 for a specialist. On our van and Landcruiser hires the driver-guide is in the vehicle price, not a second invoice.
