PRICE OF A SAFARI IN TANZANIA

One of the most frequent questions that people ask us is:

How much can a safari cost?

Safari prices are difficult to find on the internet, and once you find them it is difficult to compare them from one site to another.

A safari in East Africa can vary greatly in price. The cheapest safari is the “Camping Safari” mode where you will sleep in tents within the national parks; This can cost from $ 200.00 per person per night (the average is $ 280.00 per person per night).

We also offer ‘Mid-range Safaris'(“Lodge Safari” & “Hotel Safari”) where you will stay in comfortable accommodations and this starts from $ 300.00 to $ 480.00 per person per night.

A luxury safari (“Luxury high-end Safari”, ) is offered from $ 512 per person per night.

Other costs to consider are items of personal choice such as alcoholic beverages or cigarettes, tips for workers, or other things not included as indicated in each itinerary.

Economic Safari (Camping Safari)

Included are 3 meals a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) provided by our chefs, served at the table or in take-out format and eat in picnic areas depending on the itinerary.
