Park-run (KWS)
Tsavo East's single public campsite, on the Voi River a short drive inside the main gate, with running water, showers and a kitchen area. At $20 a night it is the cheapest way to sleep inside the park, provided you have a vehicle and your own tent.
Why you'd pick it
- The only public campsite in the whole of Tsavo East
- Twenty dollars a night, the cheapest bed in either park
- Has water, showers and a kitchen area, unlike the special campsites

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Tsavo National Parks charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryThe non-resident rate, and East and West are ticketed separately.
- $80per person, per day
- VehicleKSh 600 a day for a typical hire car, roughly $5.
- $5per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $495 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
A combination ticket covering both parks saves about $35 over two single tickets.
The full fee schedule for Tsavo National ParksRates
From $20 pppn. Camping fee only, per person per night: $20 adult and $15 child for non-residents, KSh 200 and 150 for East African citizens, KSh 300 and 200 for Kenya residents. Conservation fees of $80 per adult per day are on top, and you bring all your own gear.
What the rate covers is not confirmed. We do not know yet whether meals, drinks and activities are included, so read this as the bed only.
Every figure on this page is in US dollars.
Indicative 2026 rates gathered in July 2026 from operators' own rate cards and the official KWS tariffs. Watch the pricing basis: most Tsavo camps quote per person per night sharing, while Serena, the KWS guest houses and the self-catering bandas quote per room or per unit, so two sets of numbers are not directly comparable. KWS conservation fees are extra almost everywhere at $80 per adult per park per day, plus KSh 600 for a car under six seats.
