Planning guide
Rules, fees and seasons change, so we point you to the people who set them, and tell you when we last checked.
Kenya changes a great deal through the year, and between regions. The coast, the Rift Valley and the northern parks do not follow the same pattern.
Long grass, wet tracks and moving herds affect what you see and how easily you reach it. Tell us your dates and we will say plainly what they mean for each park.
National parks are run by the Kenya Wildlife Service. The Maasai Mara reserve and the conservancies around it are managed separately, with their own rates and rules.
We confirm the current charges for your exact dates when we quote, and show you what is included.
Entry requirements depend on your passport and can change. Kenya's Directorate of Immigration Services runs the official Electronic Travel Authorisation portal, so check there and apply only through it.
Once you are here, we arrange the road transfers and any internal flights your route needs.
Vaccine and malaria advice depends on your route and your own health, so see a travel clinic a good while before you fly.
Governments publish current advice for travellers to Kenya. Read your own government's guidance as well as the sources below.
