Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a Tanzania safari cost?

A Tanzania safari costs about $3,500 to $14,000 per person for seven days. Mid-range Serengeti and Ngorongoro trips sit around $5,000 to $10,000, while luxury mobile camps timed to the migration reach the upper end.

How much is a 7-day Serengeti safari?

A 7-day northern-circuit safari taking in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire averages $5,000 to $9,000 per person in the mid-range tier, including park fees, lodges, game drives and internal flights or transfers.

Why are Tanzania park fees so high?

The Serengeti and Ngorongoro carry some of Africa's highest conservation and park fees, which fund wildlife protection. These fees are a major reason Tanzania can cost more than neighbouring Kenya at a similar comfort level.

When is the cheapest time for a Tanzania safari?

The long rains from April to May are the lowest season, with the best lodge rates and fewer crowds. The green landscape and calving season on the southern Serengeti still deliver exceptional game viewing for the price.

What is included in a Tanzania safari cost?

Tanzania quotes usually include park fees, accommodation, meals on safari, game drives with a guide and internal transfers. International flights, visas, tips and balloon safaris are typically charged as extras.
