How Much Does a Tanzania Safari Cost?

What you are paying for

Roughly speaking, a safari price is made up of park and conservation fees, accommodation, your vehicle and guide, meals, and transfers.

Park fees are fixed by the Tanzanian authorities and are a significant part of any quote. They are the same whether you camp or stay in a luxury lodge.

The biggest variables

Accommodation level: camping, mid-range lodges, luxury camps and ultra-luxury properties span a very wide range.

Private versus shared: a private vehicle and guide costs more per person, particularly for couples and solo travellers.

Season: peak dry-season rates can be considerably higher than green-season rates at the same property.

Flying versus driving: light aircraft transfers save time and add cost.
