How Much Does It Cost For Tanzania Safari?

Tanzania Safari is a dream for many adventure seekers, but understanding the associated costs is crucial for planning a budget-friendly yet memorable trip. Here's a breakdown of the factors influencing Tanzania Safari Costs and some tips for saving money along the way:

Factors Influencing Tanzania Safari Cost

  • Accommodations: Your choice of lodging significantly impacts costs. Luxury lodges and tented camps come with higher price tags, while mid-range options offer comfort at a more moderate expense. Budget accommodations, though simpler, can provide an authentic safari experience.
  • Transportation: Consider the mode of transportation within parks. Shared or private vehicles, and sometimes flights, contribute to overall costs. Flights to remote destinations may incur additional expenses.
  • Activities: The inclusion of specialized activities, such as hot air balloon rides, guided walks, or cultural experiences, can affect costs. Be clear about the activities included in your itinerary.
  • Seasonal Variations: The timing of your safari influences costs. The high season (June to October) coincides with optimal wildlife viewing but comes with higher prices. The low season (March to May) may offer discounted rates but with unpredictable weather.

Tanzania Safari Types-Group, Private, or Self-Drive?

The type of safari you choose significantly impacts the overall cost. Group safaris are often more affordable as costs are shared among participants, while private safaris offer exclusivity and personalized experiences at a higher price point. Self-drive safaris allow for greater flexibility but require renting a vehicle and navigating the terrain independently.

What Are Some Additional Tanzania Safari Costs?

  • Post Night Accommodation in Moshi at the end of safari: You may wish to extend your holidays and stays and we do not pay for these extended stays in Tanzania.
  • International & Domestic Flights: The international flight costs are almost equivalent to your Safari costs and we do not include it in the itinerary as well.
  • Optional Activities: Other extended activities that you may wish to add to extend your holidays are exclusive of the costs.
  • Visa Fees - Visas cost $100 per person for US Nationals and $50 per person for other Country Nationals. We suggest you apply for your visa online to avoid hassles at the airport.
  • Tips For Safari Guide: Tipping highly recommended on safari and it all depends on how satisfied you are. As a company, we recommend $30-40 for your Safari guide per day / per vehicle, but it also depends on your budget.
  • Travel Insurance: We recommend you to buy your Tanzania Travel insurance for a safe and secure safari in Tanzania.
