A shared group safari is the most affordable way to see Kenya's parks. Instead of hiring a vehicle for yourself, you join other travellers on a set departure from Nairobi, share a 4x4 safari vehicle with a pop-up roof and a driver-guide, and split the cost. It is a popular choice for solo travellers, couples and backpackers, and a good way to meet people on the road.
The routes below cover the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli, from three to seven days. Accommodation is at budget tented camps and simple lodges, with upgrades available. If you would rather have your own vehicle and timings, see our private Kenya safaris, and read how many days you need to choose a length.

Group size depends on the departure. We confirm how many travellers are booked on your date when you enquire.
Yes. Group safaris suit solo travellers well. Rooms are twin-share; a single room can be arranged at extra cost.
The parks and game drives are similar. On a group safari the schedule is fixed for everyone and you share the vehicle; on a private safari the vehicle and timings are yours.
Budget tented camps and simple lodges near each park, full board. You can upgrade to mid-range camps and still join the shared vehicle. See camping, tented camp or lodge?.
