Note:

If you already have a U.S. Passport and your Shots are up to date, you can exclude these line items.  Also, if you are a “Big Spender” you should budget more for spending money and incidental expenses.    The hotel has an excellent restaurant and we are close to several other good places to eat. There are fast food places but they are not quite like America.  The churches will provide some meals, but expect to eat in restaurants for most meals.  Rooms can be shared so that the cost can be kept within a reasonable limit.


 

The Estimated Cost per person for this trip will vary based on airfare and whether or not some of the items listed below are needed. Some people may already have a passport, shots, and need little to no spending money.  These types of expenses cause the price to fluctuate from person to person. Please note that time is an issue in obtaining Passports, Visas and Immunizations. These should be obtained as soon as possible, or you will not be allowed entry into Kenya.
