What people ask first
How much does a Kenya safari cost from the USA?
Lodge level, season and group size set the price. A mid-range seven-day safari with internal flights typically starts in the low thousands of dollars per person before international airfare, and luxury conservancy camps cost more. Every quote is itemised with real lodge names.
How long is the flight from the USA to Kenya?
Sixteen to twenty hours in total: one stop via a European or Gulf hub, or a direct flight from the U.S. East Coast to Nairobi.
When is the best time for a Kenya safari?
July to October for the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara, January to March for dry clear days, and April to June for the green season with the lowest rates and the fewest vehicles.
Do Americans need a visa for Kenya?
Kenya requires an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) applied for online before you fly. We walk every client through it and link to the official portal.
Is a Kenya safari safe for families?
Yes, with the right camps and pacing. Our trips are run by Kenya specialists with vetted Kenyan guides and lodges, 24-hour support and emergency evacuation cover, and family camps take children from around six.
Can I combine a safari with the beach?
Most of our guests do: three or four nights in the Mara or Amboseli, then Diani or Watamu on the Indian Ocean, linked by scheduled flights.
