A long journey deserves a safari that feels like yours.
Plan directly with PMK’s Nairobi team. We help you compare routes, lodges and costs in U.S. dollars, then arrange your safari in Kenya around your dates, interests and pace.
Our safari packages start in Kenya. PMK does not book or ticket international flights; please arrange those with your airline or flight agent.
These are starting points, not fixed departures. Tell us what matters most and we will help you choose a realistic route.
Compare our seven-day private budget safari with the ten-day Kenya itinerary. The seven-day route combines Amboseli, the Rift Valley and the Mara; the longer trip adds more destinations. Longer does not automatically mean slower, so ask us to reduce stops if you prefer less driving.
See the 7-day route and pricesPlan around your children’s ages, room arrangements and tolerance for road transfers. We can compare family-friendly stays, discuss dietary requests and build in time to rest. Interconnecting rooms, child rates and specific facilities need confirmation for your dates.
Explore Kenya family safari ideasCombine wildlife viewing with days at Diani Beach, or spend longer in fewer safari areas. Choose the balance of lodge comfort, privacy and travel time that suits you. Flights, special dinners and upgrades are included only when listed in your proposal.
Compare honeymoon and beach itinerariesA useful comparison starts with your travel dates, party size, vehicle and accommodation. Our published safari prices are for the Kenya arrangements described on each itinerary, not the total cost of traveling from the United States.
| Adults traveling together | From price per adult, USD | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| 2 adults | $1,823.90 | Adults sharing double or twin rooms |
| 4 adults | $1,522.02 | One private traveling party sharing the safari vehicle |
These examples use the named stays and private safari minivan on our seven-day safari page. They include six nights, the listed meals, park entry and activities. Availability, the applicable fees and any holiday supplements are confirmed in your dated quote. Children, single rooms, different dates and upgrades require a separate price.
Allow separately for international flights, entry requirements, insurance, tips, personal spending and optional activities unless expressly included. A Land Cruiser or a fly-in route changes the budget. Compare Kenya safari costs and what affects the price.
PMK does not book or ticket international flights. This section is additional planning information. Book your international tickets directly with an airline or through your own flight agent. Share your proposed arrival and departure times with PMK before paying so we can check how they fit your Kenya safari.
Kenya Airways operates the New York John F. Kennedy (JFK) to Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta (NBO) route. This is an option to compare if you can reach JFK conveniently and prefer to avoid an overseas connection. Kenya Airways also describes single-ticket U.S. connections through JFK with its airline partners. Check the operating carrier, departure dates and ticket conditions for your actual journey. See Kenya Airways’ current flight search and its U.S. connection information.
Nonstop applies to the JFK–Nairobi segment. If you first fly to New York from another U.S. city, your complete trip still has a connection. Compare the full journey from your home airport rather than only the transatlantic flight.
Depending on your U.S. departure airport and dates, examples to investigate include KLM via Amsterdam (AMS), Qatar Airways via Doha (DOH) and Emirates via Dubai (DXB). These are route examples to check with the airlines, not a promise of an available one-stop itinerary from every U.S. city.
| Your priority | What to compare |
|---|---|
| Fewer flight changes | Start with the JFK–Nairobi nonstop if reaching JFK is straightforward. Include any domestic connection and overnight costs. |
| A convenient departure from home | A hub connection may fit better if it avoids a separate positioning flight to New York. Compare the actual total travel time and layover. |
| Value for money | Compare the total including checked bags, seat selection, change conditions, extra hotel nights and transfers. Connecting is not automatically cheaper. |
| A comfortable start to safari | Prioritize a workable Nairobi arrival time and enough rest before your first long transfer. The lowest fare may use more of your vacation. |
Our planning recommendation: choose the simplest reasonably priced itinerary from your own airport. A nonstop flight can reduce transfer steps, but a well-timed connection can be a better overall fit. Neither option is always the fastest, cheapest or most reliable for every traveler.
Airline information reviewed November 4, 2026. Route availability, flight times, fares and transit rules can change. Use the linked airline sites for your travel dates. The comparisons above are PMK’s safari-planning advice, not an airline booking service or guarantee.
Share your proposed arrival and departure flights before buying tickets. We will help align Nairobi pickup, the first overnight and the return journey with your safari route.
After a long international journey, consider a Nairobi arrival night rather than planning an immediate long road transfer. Whether you need it depends on your arrival time and itinerary; that hotel night must be listed in your quote.
International and safari flights can use different Nairobi airports. Check the airport names, transfer time and baggage allowance for every flight. We confirm the practical arrangements for your route rather than assuming flights connect.
Read about staying in NairobiOur Kenya entry and eTA planning guide links to official information. Requirements can change; check again before departure. PMK can provide booking details for confirmed arrangements, but cannot guarantee immigration approval.
Tell us your travel month, group size, approximate budget and priorities. We will send options and explain road journeys, accommodation locations and what is included.
Confirm the route, room arrangements, vehicle, meals, activities and exclusions. Your quote should distinguish a private road vehicle from any shared flights or camp-operated activities.
Our standard arrangement is a 30% deposit with the balance payable on arrival, unless your written booking terms specify otherwise. We secure the arrangements after the deposit and share confirmations as they become available.
We offer bank transfer and card payment through Pesapal. Card payments attract a 3.5% processing surcharge. PMK does not add a bank-transfer processing fee; your bank or intermediary may charge its own fees. Check your invoice and booking terms before paying.
Payment security: verify any change to payment instructions by calling our established number, +254 769 157229. You can plan by email or request a call at a mutually convenient time; tell us your U.S. time zone.
Get to know the PMK team, our safari guides and our vehicles, and read independent guest reviews before you decide.
Start by comparing seven- and ten-day safari routes, then add international travel days and any Nairobi or beach nights. If the Mara is your main priority, ask for a route with fewer stops and more time there. We will help match the pace to your available vacation time.
A road safari can offer value and a continuous journey with your guide, but some transfers take a substantial part of the day. Flying can reduce selected road transfers while adding cost, baggage limits and connection requirements. Compare the actual itinerary and confirmed schedules.
No. Wildlife movements, weather and river crossings are natural events. Tell us whether migration viewing is your priority so we can explain seasonal choices and camp locations without promising a sighting.
You can book directly with PMK’s Nairobi team. If you prefer to work with your own travel advisor, we can discuss coordinating the Kenya arrangements with them. Your written quote identifies who provides each service.
Yes, subject to a workable route, accommodation and transport availability. Compare our 11-day Kenya and Tanzania itinerary. Check entry requirements for each country separately.
Share your U.S. departure city, travel month, number of adults and children, and budget for the Kenya arrangements. Let us know whether you prefer wildlife, family time, a honeymoon or a safari-and-beach combination.
