Guides for Australians planning a Kenya safari: what a trip costs in Australian dollars, which months suit your school holidays, how many days to allow, and how to get there. There is no direct flight, so most trips connect via Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi or Bangkok; our flights guide compares the routes and travel times from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. You will also find family and honeymoon planning, and what to pack.
Every price on these pages is per person in AUD for a private vehicle and guide. When you are ready to compare trips, see all Kenya safaris from Australia or send us your dates for a costed plan.

A no-nonsense guide for Aussie travellers covering flight routes, Kenyan currency, safety advice, what to pack for safari, cultural etiquette, and essential contacts.
