FAQs
Road or fly to the Mara?
Fly for trips under five days; road for week-long loops where the Rift Valley is part of the experience.
What is the best month for this trip?
Timing decides everything: Jul-Oct Migration | Jan-Mar value + Kili views. Tell us your exact window and we confirm the wildlife logic before quoting camps.
How many days should we allow?
2 Mara only | 5-7 classic | 8-10 grand. Shorter formats move daily; longer formats add buffer days for weather, herds and rest - the days most travelers later call the best.
What does it cost?
As a baseline, rates in this cluster start at $1,150, rising with season and camp tier - see the cards above. Final pricing depends on season, camp tier and group size - every proposal is line-itemed so you can trade choices up or down per night.
Who is this trip best for?
Travelers starting in Nairobi - fly-in expresses or full road loops from the capital.
How much should we tip?
As a guideline: 15 to 25 dollars per day for your driver-guide (per group, not per person), 10 to 15 dollars per day into camp communal tip boxes, and 20 to 30 dollars for a gorilla porter. Restaurants 10 percent where service is not included.
Can dietary needs be handled in bush camps?
Yes - vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and most allergies are routinely catered with advance notice. Remote camps need 30 days notice for specialist supplies; tell us at proposal stage.
Camps cook from scratch, so most requests are a kitchen question rather than a supply one. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free are routine; halal and kosher products have to be imported in the remotest valleys, which is where the 30-day notice applies - Skeleton Coast, northern Uganda, the deeper Okavango camps. Menus are planned per group before the first grocery run, so tell us at proposal stage rather than on arrival. Guides carry your dietary notes on every drive, and camps refill filtered water wherever possible instead of trucking in bottles.
Can older travelers or limited mobility join?
Often yes: game drives are vehicle-based, many lodges have ground-floor rooms with walk-in showers, and we grade walking and trekking honestly. Tell us constraints and we design around them - except gorilla trekking, which demands real hill fitness.
What is included in the from-price?
Private 4x4 and driver-guide, accommodation, park and concession fees, listed transfers and most meals. International flights, visas, insurance and tips are excluded.
On our quotes the from-price covers the private 4x4 and driver-guide, accommodation, park and concession fees, listed transfers and most meals; it excludes international flights, visas, insurance, tips and premium drinks. Balloon flights, night drives and gorilla permits appear as optional line items you switch on.
Can we add a beach extension?
Yes - Zanzibar, Diani and Mozambique links are routine. Say the word and the flights slot into your proposal.
