Factors That Determine The Cost Of A Tanzania Safari

Your Safari Duration

The number of days you spend on safari determines your safari cost. The amount of time you spend in each park directly correlates to the quality of your experience. Spending more time allows for a more relaxing and enriching experience, enabling you to fully enjoy everything the parks have to offer. Keep in mind that the longer your safari, the higher the cost will be. This is because of park fees, transportation, accommodations, and activities included in your package.

Your Accommodation

The cost of your safari is greatly influenced by the type of accommodation you choose. You have the option of midrange, luxury, or high-end accommodation based on your budget. Midrange accommodations are typically neither the most expensive nor the cheapest, but they offer fewer services and amenities compared to luxury and high-end options. Luxury accommodations provide superior amenities, service, and overall experience compared to traditional midrange options. High-end accommodations elevate the luxury experience even further, offering opulence, top-tier amenities, and exceptional service.
The location of your accommodations will impact the price of your tour. During your safari, you will have the option of staying in accommodations inside or outside the park. Staying inside a park or wildlife management area is generally more expensive than staying outside due to additional government fees and taxes.

Activities Included In Your Safari Package

For an authentic, engaging, and inspiring travel experience, we recommend including a variety of activities between your game drive days. These activities can include walking safaris, day hikes, cultural experiences, and more. It’s important to note that the more activities you include in your tour, the higher the tour price will be. Additionally, some activities, such as the Serengeti balloon safari and night game drives, are more expensive than others.

Transportation (Safari Jeeps & Flights)

Tanzania wildlife safaris are typically more expensive than those in Kenya due to the type of safari vehicles used. In Tanzania, 4×4 safari jeeps are utilised, while in Kenya, minivans are used. This is because minivans are not suitable for driving in the Tanzanian landscape and raise safety concerns.

  • Safari JeepsOur safari vehicles can accommodate up to 7 passengers. The package price is determined based on the number of people in the safari car, as the cost is split evenly among the travellers. The larger your group, the lower the cost per person. For maximum comfort, we recommend a maximum of 6 passengers in the car.
  • Flights – Due to the vast distances and limited transport infrastructure, certain packages may include convenient air transfers between your point of arrival and the destinations you will visit. This thoughtful inclusion is intended to ensure that your travel is smooth and efficient, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in your safari experience. However, please note that this may also impact the overall price of your safari.
