Overview & Comparison

Your original itinerary centered on primate trekking, Ol Pejeta wildlife experiences, Lake Elementaita, the Maasai Mara, Victoria Falls, and then onward travel. The latest quotes now create three realistic directions: one keeps the spirit of the trip you designed, one provides the strongest premium compromise under the $40k ceiling, and one simplifies the trip into a lower-cost Kenya-first safari.

Goway Wonders of Kenya

Lowest cost option

Explore the condensed Kenya-focused itinerary to compare the lighter routing, lodge mix, and overall trip structure.

Concise option comparison

TourCan keeps the route you researched. Goway Fairmont is the strongest premium compromise below the $40k ceiling. Wonders of Kenya is the lowest-cost option, but it becomes a different trip.

Closest fit

Direct Kigali arrival, Four Points + Tiloreza, primate trekking, Ol Pejeta, Lake Elementaita, the Mara, and the Victoria Falls finish. Still above the ideal budget, but far lower than the first custom quote.

Goway Fairmont safari

$37,436.70
CAD total for 2 travellers
Best premium compromise

A polished Kenya-first safari using Fairmont properties, with Ol Pejeta, the Mara, and Victoria Falls included. It drops Rwanda and both primate treks, but stays under the $40k ceiling.

Goway Wonders of Kenya

$26,571.41
CAD total for 2 travellers
Lowest cost

A more standard Kenya circuit plus Victoria Falls. Lowest price by a margin, but it removes too many of the unique experiences that originally made this trip special.

Highlights + Summary

These are the landscapes and lodges that best communicate the feel of the trip. This is not every property in every quote — only the pieces most useful for deciding what kind of safari experience you want.

Bottom line

If the gorillas, golden monkeys, and keeping the spirit of your original route are the priority, the updated TourCan quote is still the best fit. It is no longer as far above budget as the first round, but it does still sit above the ideal range.

If staying below the $40k ceiling matters more than keeping Rwanda, the Goway Fairmont option is the strongest middle ground. It preserves a premium feel with better lodge character than the lower-cost Kenya circuit.

If price leads every decision, the Wonders of Kenya option works — but it should be viewed as a different trip rather than a trimmed version of the original.
