The Kenya safari, without the sales pitch.
An independent editorial guide to East African safari planning — written by named authors, photographed in the field, and built for travellers who read carefully before they book.
Tools that actually answer the question
A real per-person figure across three budget tiers, with the line items operator quotes hide: conservancy fees, single supplement, drinks policy, gratuities.
Month-by-month for every Kenyan reserve. Migration windows, calving season, low-water photography, shoulder pricing — and which months we'd avoid where.
Combine parks with realistic transfer times, internal flights, and pacing that respects safari rhythm. Worked itineraries from 5 to 21 days.
Side-by-side comparison of any two Kenyan reserves on wildlife density, infrastructure, exclusivity, accessibility, and lodge selection.
Current ETA requirements by nationality, fee, processing window, photo specs. Updated monthly. The bureaucratic detail other guides skip.
Customised by trip length, season, parks visited, photography ambition. Includes our actual luggage allowance math for internal flights.
