A large Kenyan-owned lodge sitting right on the boundary beside Voi Gate, which means you can arrive late without paying a park fee for the night. Its floodlit waterhole streams online, so you can see the traffic for yourself before committing, and rates start at $95 full board in the green season.

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 Voi Wildlife Lodge
Is Voi Wildlife Lodge good for families?
Yes. Voi Wildlife Lodge's own site lists family-friendly features including a playground and babysitting, plus accessible rooms and pathways. We found no minimum age or child policy on the lodge's current site, so confirm that and any charges for children when you book, especially given the lodge's large size.
Does staying at Voi Wildlife Lodge avoid the park conservation fee?
Voi Wildlife Lodge sits on the park boundary right beside Voi Gate, outside the park itself, so your arrival night does not carry a conservation fee the way an inside-the-park camp would. You still pay the daily fee for any day you actually enter Tsavo East for a game drive.
How much does it cost to stay at Voi Wildlife Lodge?
Full board per person per night runs from $95 in the April to June green season to $128 in July to October, with $112 in January to March and November to December. A Ground Package with game drives included runs from $238 to $312 per person, if you want drives bundled into the price.
How big is Voi Wildlife Lodge?
Voi Wildlife Lodge is large: its own site says it accommodates up to 300 guests across 178 rooms, including three presidential suites, on a 50-acre site on the park boundary. It has three pools and a Safari Spa overlooking its floodlit waterhole, which you can watch online before you even book.
