What you can reach from Nairobi
Nairobi is East Africa's business capital and the most developed short-stay market on the continent. From here the practical targets are Masai Mara Great Migration, Diani Beach, Amboseli & Kilimanjaro views, Lamu Old Town (UNESCO). Operators based in Nairobi run these as day trips and multi-day circuits depending on distance.
What a trip costs, and why the number differs here
Expect US$25–660 per person depending on length, group size and whether park fees are bundled. On Cabana that figure is the operator's own price. Aggregators typically take 15–25% from the operator, and that margin is priced into the rate you are quoted elsewhere — the same guide, the same vehicle, a higher number.
Booking direct with the operator
Cabana has no Nairobi tour operators listed yet. The model is direct booking with zero commission — an operator keeps 100% of what they charge — so if you run trips from Nairobi, listing is free and takes a few minutes. The costs and seasons above are independent guidance either way.
When to go
Jul–Oct (Great Migration) and Jan–Mar (dry, warm). Wildlife density, road condition and price all move with that window, so it is worth building the trip around it where you can.
