    Hi

    Hoping to get a cheaper quote for a 11 day / 10 nights safari tour in Kenya. We are hoping to travel after 5th April (off peak). Because of the rainy season we would like to do the safari in a 4x4 vehicle (instead of mini vans) and stay at lodges (instead of camping). It should also be a private tour.

    We got the following quote from migrationkenyasafaris.com directly. Wondering whether any TOs here able to beat the price. The price is exclusive of flights but if you want to include it in the package not a problem.

    The Quote itself:
    Day 1.Pick up from Nairobi Airport - Tsavo West(staying at Ngulia lodge)
    Day 2.Tsavo West-Amboseli(staying at Sopa lodge)
    Day 3 Full day Amboseli National park(staying Sopa lodge)
    Day 4.Amboseli-samburu(staying Sopa lodge)
    Day 5.Samburu Full day(staying sopa lodge)
    Day 6.Samburu-Baringo(Soi Safari logde)
    Day 7.Lake Bogoria(Full day)-(staying at Soi lodge)
    Day 8.Lake Baringo-Lake Nakuru(Staying at the KWS guest house)
    Day 9.Lake Nakuru-Masai Mara(OL Moran tented lodge)
    Day 10.Masai Mara-Full day(staying at Ol Moran)
    Day 11 Masai Mara-Nairobi.

    US$ 4,650 for 2 people on sharing basis with exclusive use of 4x4 vehicle

    2 adults, 1 child(6) 1 Infant
