Your trip and conservation

The park and conservancy fees in this price pay for the rangers and wildlife protection in the places you visit, and fewer vehicles mean quieter sightings. Want to see that work up close? Ask about our conservation circuits with Kenya Wildlife Service teams.

Before you travel

Kenya’s eTA costs from USD 30 at etakenya.go.ke; apply at least 3 days ahead. Since October 2026 it comes with compulsory travel health insurance (about USD 44); we confirm the current rules when you book
Most African passports, including Nigerian, don’t need an eTA for short stays, and African citizens pay lower fees at KWS parks. Ask us for your price
Vegetarian, Jain, halal or other diets: tell us when you book and we arrange them with each lodge
Many safari areas are on high ground: mornings and evenings are cool, so pack a warm layer

Good to know

Prices are per person, in US dollars, for non-residents. Rates are confirmed at booking.
Ask us for resident (KES) rates, children’s rates, festive and Easter dates, and longer stays.
Train times are set by Kenya Railways (the morning train leaves Mombasa at about 08:00 and reaches Voi in about 2 hours); we book your First Class seats and confirm the timetable when you book.
Pickup is included from hotels between Diani and Bamburi. From Kilifi, Watamu or Malindi, see our Kudu Safari Camp trip instead, or ask us.
Book it as a stand-alone trip, or add it to any beach stay: the safari days fit in the middle of your holiday.

Accessibility

Madaraka Express stations have lifts and ramps; we request wheelchair space and boarding assistance when we book your seats. Game drives on this trip are in Satao Camp’s own safari vehicles. If stepping up into a 4×4 is hard, ask for the version with our adapted Land Cruiser, which meets the train at Voi. Tell us about your access needs: we check rooms, bathrooms and paths with each property before you book, and can arrange wheelchairs, shower chairs and other mobility equipment.
