This article explains the standard tandem skydive price at Skydive Swahili, what is included, what is not included, and which optional charges may apply.
The standard tandem skydive price is USD 350 per person.
This is the baseline price for one tandem skydive before optional extras, weight surcharge, discounts, promotions, or special arrangements.
The final payable amount may change if:

The deposit is part of the final tandem skydive price. It is not an extra charge.
For a standard tandem skydive:
The remaining balance must be paid before the customer jumps.
Skydive Swahili may refuse service if the required payment has not been completed.
Payment may be accepted in Kenyan shillings or through other approved payment methods, using the amount or exchange rate confirmed by Skydive Swahili at the time of payment.
The photo and video package costs USD 100 per person.
Photo and video are optional paid add-ons. They are not included in the standard tandem skydive price unless Skydive Swahili clearly confirms that they are included in a specific offer.
If a customer adds the photo and video package:
The photo and video package is subject to safety, weather, equipment, and operational conditions.
A weight surcharge applies above the standard weight threshold.
The current surcharge is USD 2 per kilogram above the threshold.
The thresholds are:
Examples:
| Customer weight category | Calculation | Surcharge |
|---|---|---|
| Man weighing 105 kg | 5 kg above threshold × USD 2 | USD 10 |
| Woman weighing 95 kg | 5 kg above threshold × USD 2 | USD 10 |
The surcharge exists because higher participant weight affects aircraft loading, equipment handling, instructor workload, and operational planning.
BMI limits are safety limits. They are not price categories.
A customer may be refused participation for safety reasons even if they are willing to pay a surcharge.
