Figures are planning estimates, not live prices. Verify current fares, rates, and visa rules before booking.
Flights from Dhaka are the biggest cost, usually requiring one or two layovers, so book early for better fares.
Nairobi has affordable guesthouses and apartments, while Masai Mara lodges are the main splurge.
Street food and local eateries in Nairobi are cheap; hotel and lodge meals cost much more.
Game drives and park fees add up, but shared safari vehicles and group tours reduce the cost.
In short: A five-day trip is affordable on a mid-range budget if you keep Nairobi simple and choose one good-value Mara safari.
Amounts are from Tripazai’s budget engine; the notes are AI-researched context.
Getting there: Fly Dhaka to Nairobi via Doha, Dubai, Addis Ababa or Istanbul; no direct flights, so expect one layover.
Typical routing: One stop via Doha, Dubai, Addis Ababa or Istanbul to Nairobi (~11h flying time)
Local transport: In Nairobi use taxis, ride-hailing apps and matatus; to the Mara take a short domestic flight or a long guided road transfer.
