Marek,
When you travel on your own through the inhabited areas of
Kenya, that can be very cheap, if you accept local
accommodation, not tourist accommodation.
In the nature reserves, however, and that's where I mainly want
to go, the main cost factor is the lodges. They vary between
some $40 (special low season offer) and $200 per person per
night, some luxury lodges are even more expensive. This includes
food, but usually not the drinks.
You can also camp, which costs very little, perhaps $2 per
night.
The next cost factor is the jeep. See www.rasuls.com for some
good prices.
Then you have to pay entrance fees for nature reserves, which
vary and can be up to $30 for up to 24 hours (see
http://www.kws.org/tariffs.htm).
That's about it. You need something to eat and drink. And you
need to get to Africa and back in the first place.
http://www.michna.com/kenya.htm contains some actual lodge
prices. Check them at the end of the document.
When you travel on your own, you can probably beat the safari
operator prices, but only if several people share a jeep and you
select lower price lodges.
