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 at Sagala Lodge
On request. Rates are not published. The lodge takes both banda guests and self-caterers on its own campsite, so establish whether you are being quoted per person for a banda or per pitch for camping.
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.
Questions about Sagala Lodge
Is Sagala Lodge good for families?
Sagala Lodge has no website, so there is no minimum age or child policy to check. Its garden bandas have private verandas and there are 24 of them plus the Oryx Suite, so there is room for a family, but confirm pricing and any child policy directly, since it also runs a separate campsite on the same land.
How much does it cost to stay at Sagala Lodge?
Sagala Lodge does not publish rates. It takes both banda guests and self-caterers on its own campsite, so establish clearly whether you are being quoted per person for a banda or per pitch for camping before you agree a price.
What makes Sagala Lodge different from a standard lodge?
Sagala Lodge sits on its own 5,000-acre private sanctuary, a couple of kilometres off the highway and 15 km short of Voi, with 24 garden bandas each with a private veranda. Its Oryx Suite adds a rooftop terrace over the Sagala Hills, and the same land also carries a campsite for self-caterers.
Can you camp at Sagala Lodge?
Yes. Sagala Lodge runs a campsite on the same 5,000-acre sanctuary as its 24 garden bandas and the Oryx Suite, for anyone travelling with their own kit. No facilities list or rates are published, so confirm what the campsite offers directly with the lodge.
