Safari costs vary widely. Here's a transparent breakdown of what you can expect to pay for different safari styles.
The cost of a Tanzania safari depends on several factors: the level of accommodation, the number of days, the parks visited, the number of travelers, and the season.
Budget safaris typically cost $150-$250 per person per day. These use public campsites and basic accommodations, with shared vehicles.
Mid-range safaris cost $250-$450 per person per day. These use comfortable lodges and tented camps with private facilities, and private 4x4 vehicles.
Luxury safaris cost $450-$1,000+ per person per day. These use high-end lodges and luxury tented camps, with premium vehicles and sometimes bush flights.
Park fees are a significant portion of the cost — approximately $60 per person per day for the Serengeti. These fees go directly to conservation.
The number of travelers affects the per-person cost significantly. A private safari for two will cost more per person than for four, as vehicle and guide costs are shared.
