Why You Should Book Your 2026/2027 Safari Now (And Save Big)

The Early Bird Gets the... Villa

In the safari world, "last minute deals" are a myth. The opposite is true: prices go up closer to the date.

If you are planning a trip for 2026 or even 2027, booking now is the smartest financial move you can make.

1. Lock in Current Year Rates

Safari lodges typically increase their prices by 5-10% every year due to inflation and park fee changes.

The Hack: Many lodges (including Kitumo Mara) allow you to book a 2026 stay at 2027 rates if you pay a deposit now. For a family of 4, this can save you over $1,500.

2. Get the Best Dates (Peak Season)

Specific dates like Christmas week, August 1-15 (Peak Migration), and Easter sell out 12 months in advance.

By planning for 2026 now, you get your pick of dates, not just "whatever is left."

Inflation Proof Your Trip: Park fees in Kenya have doubled in recent years. Booking an all-inclusive package now locks in your price, protecting you from future government fee hikes.
