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.

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 Sentrim Tsavo East Camp
Is Sentrim Tsavo East Camp good for families?
Sentrim Tsavo East Camp's terms say reservations must be made by someone at least 18, which is a booking rule rather than a ban on children staying. We found no separate minimum age or child policy for young guests anywhere on the site, so confirm directly when you enquire, especially if you need a family-sized tent.
Can you self-drive to Sentrim Tsavo East Camp?
Yes. Sentrim Tsavo East Camp is about a 40-minute drive through the park from Voi Gate, roughly 11 km inside, and its own site gives journey times of around two hours from Mombasa and five hours from Nairobi by road. It has no own airstrip; the nearest is Voi Park.
What does the rate at Sentrim Tsavo East Camp include?
Sentrim Tsavo East Camp quotes full board per person per night, from $100 in April to June and November up to $128 in July to October and over the festive period, with $117 in between. The site does not itemise what else is covered, such as drinks or game drives, so confirm that directly.
Is Sentrim Tsavo East Camp good for a honeymoon?
Sentrim Tsavo East Camp does not publish a honeymoon package or private-pool suite. Its own gallery shows a romantic dinner set-up, and the appeal for a couple is practical: a waterhole in view from the dining table, two bars and a pool, which is unusual at this price point inside Tsavo East.
