How much does a safari from Diani or Mombasa cost?

By Tsavo Trails Safaris team, Safari planning team, Diani · Updated 28 October 2026 · 2 min read

Quick answer

Prices depend on the trip, the group size and whether park fees are included, so we quote each trip individually. As a benchmark, Kenya Wildlife Service lists a non-resident adult fee of USD 80 for Tsavo East before you pay for transport, a guide and a vehicle. Watch for prices that exclude park fees.

Key takeaways

  • A safari price is park fees + vehicle + driver-guide + fuel + lodge and meals.
  • Always check whether park fees are included.
  • Shared and private prices are different.

What makes up the price

  • Park fees, which differ for non-residents, residents and East African citizens
  • The safari vehicle and its fuel
  • A professional driver-guide
  • Lodge accommodation and meals on overnight trips

About the 2025 fee change: Kenya Wildlife Service introduced new conservation fees on 1 October 2025. On 2 October 2025 the High Court issued an order suspending them while a petition was heard. KWS's own park pages list the new rates as of the date shown. We confirm the fee that applies when we quote your trip. Park fees guide

Frequently asked questions

Why do prices vary so much between operators?

Often because some prices include park fees and lunch and others don't, or because one is a shared trip and the other private. Compare what's included before you compare the number.
