Why mid-range works so well in Kenya
The gap between mid-range and luxury has narrowed dramatically. You get proper hot showers, plunge pools at many camps, exceptional food and, crucially, the same expert guides who work in the top camps.
What a typical mid-range trip looks like
A 7-night mid-range circuit — Amboseli (Kilimanjaro views), Lake Nakuru (rhinos), and the Maasai Mara (Big 5) — averages $4,900–$6,200 per person including everything except drinks and tips.
Recommended mid-range camps
