At Mara Triangle Safaris we specialise in both Kenya and Tanzania. The Serengeti is larger, more remote and generally a little more expensive than the Maasai Mara because of higher park fees, longer logistics and fewer budget options.
Below are realistic 2026 estimated ranges (per person sharing). Final prices depend on season, group size, accommodation level and whether you fly or drive.
